Frances Lennox ladles out dinner every night to the motley, exuberant, youthful crew assembled around her hospitable tableher two sons and their friends, girlfriends, ex-friends, and ftesh-off-the-street friends. It's the early 1960s and certainly "everything is for the best in the best of all possible worlds." Except financial circumstances demand that Frances and her sons Eve with her proper ex-mother-in-law. And her ex-husband, Comrade Johnny, has just dumped his second wife's problem child at Frances's feet. And the world's political landscape has suddenly become surreal beyond imagination.... Set against the backdrop of the decade that changed the world forever, The Sweetest Dream is a riveting look at a group of people who dared to dream-and faced the inevitable cleanup afterward -- from one of the greatest writers of our time.

The work of Nicholas Koppernigk, better known as Copernicus, shattered the medieval view of the universe and led to the formulation of the image of the solar system we know today. Here his life is powerfully evoked in a novel that offers a vivid portrait of a man of painful reticence, haunted by a malevolent brother and baffled by the conspiracies that rage around him and his ideas while he searches for the secret of life.

Vo väznici Cold Mountain, v úseku nazývanom Zelená míľa, čakajú na smrť odsúdení vrahovia. Najhorší spomedzi z nich je John Coffey, ktorý spáchal obzvlášť závažný zločin – chladnokrvne zavraždil dve malé dievčatká. Obor s rukami ako lopaty už na pohľad pôsobí nebezpečne, o to viac však prekvapuje svojím správaním. Ako by sa muž s mysľou dieťaťa, ktorý sa bojí spávať v tme, mohol dopustiť takého ohavného činu? Dozorca Paul Edgecombe sa vo svojej práci nevyžíva ako niektorí jeho kolegovia. Ako vnímavý pozorovateľ dokáže rozlišovať medzi dobrom a zlom. Aspoň donedávna si to myslel. Je John Coffey skutočne diablom v ľudskej podobe alebo bytosťou, ktorej schopnosti ďaleko presahujú definíciu zázraku? Isté je len jedno, na konci Zelenej míle striehne smrť.
