Tombland (The Shardlake series, Band 7)

C. J. Sansom

Taschenbuch

' Tudor terror tingles through C. J. Sansom's murder mystery novels . . . With remarkable expertise, sustained over more than 850 pages, Sansom weaves together a wide cast of characters and knits his murder story into a vivid tapestry of little-known historical happenings' Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
' Sansom handles his huge cast with aplomb. This is a totally immersive and vividly written tale: compelling reading for history lovers and crime aficionados alike' Laura Wilson, Guardian
' Sansom has the trick of writing an enthralling narrative. Like Hilary Mantel, he produces densely textured historical novels that absorb their readers in another time' Andrew Taylor, Spectator
' Tudor England of 1549 is effortlessly evoked. The murder mystery absorbs, the characters are vivid and the history is seductive, but it's the author's inclusive humanity that lingers' Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail

Dark Fire (The Shardlake series, Band 2)

C. J. Sansom

Taschenbuch

Summer, 1540. Matthew Shardlake, believing himself out of favour with Thomas Cromwell, is busy trying to maintain his legal practice and keep a low profile. But his involvement with a murder case, defending a girl accused of brutally murdering her young cousin, brings him once again into contact with the King's chief minister - and a new assignment . . .
The secret of Greek Fire, the legendary substance with which the Byzantines destroyed the Arab navies, has been lost for centuries. Now an official of the Court of Augmentations has discovered the formula in the library of a dissolved London monastery. When Shardlake is sent to recover it, he finds the official and his alchemist brother brutally murdered - the formula has disappeared.
Now Shardlake must follow the trail of Greek Fire across Tudor London, while trying at the same time to prove his young client's innocence. But very soon he discovered nothing is as it seems . . .
' C. J. Sansom's magnificent books set in the reign of Henry V I I I bring to life the sounds and smells of Tudor England' Sunday Times
' One of the author's greatest gifts is the immediacy of his descriptions . . . But it is Shardlake himself who steals the show. His honesty and humility shine out in a dark world where murder and mayhem are the order of the day' Colin Dexter

Imperium: (Cicero Trilogy 1)

Robert Harris

Taschenbuch

Broschiertes Buch
When Tiro, the confidential secretary of a Roman senator, opens the door to a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he sets in motion a chain of events which will eventually propel his master into one of the most famous courtroom dramas in history. The stranger is a Sicilian, a victim of the island's corrupt Roman governor, Verres. The senator is Cicero, a brilliant young lawyer and spellbinding orator, determined to attain imperium - supreme power in the state. This is the starting-point of Robert Harris's most accomplished novel to date. Compellingly written in Tiro's voice, it takes us inside the violent, treacherous world of Roman politics, to describe how one man - clever, compassionate, devious, vulnerable - fought to reach the top.

Dictator: (Cicero Trilogy 3)

Robert Harris

Taschenbuch

Broschiertes Buch
' Laws are silent in times of war. ' - Cicero There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand. But now Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins. Exiled, separated from his wife and children, his possessions confiscated, his life constantly in danger, Cicero is tormented by the knowledge that he has sacrificed power for the sake of his principles. His comeback requires wit, skill and courage - and for a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme senator in Rome. But politics is never static and no statesman, however cunning, can safeguard against the ambition and corruption of others. Riveting and tumultuous, D I C T A T O R encompasses some of the most epic events in human history yet is also an intimate portrait of a brilliant, flawed, frequently fearful yet ultimately brave man - a hero for his time and for ours. This is an unforgettable tour de force from a master storyteller.

Der Boxer

Szczepan Twardoch

Gebundene Ausgabe

Gebundenes Buch
Jakub Shapiro ist ein hoffnungsvoller junger Boxer und überhaupt sehr talentiert. Das erkennt auch der mächtige Warschauer Unterweltpate Kaplica, der Shapiro zu seinem Vertrauten macht. Doch rechte Putschpläne gegen die polnische Regierung bringen das Imperium Kaplicas in Bedrängnis; er kommt in Haft, als ihm ein politischer Mord angehängt wird. Im Schatten dieser Ereignisse bricht ein regelrechter Krieg der Unterwelt los. Jakub Shapiro muss die Dinge in die Hand nehmen: Er geht gegen Feinde wie Verräter vor, beginnt - aus Leidenschaft und Kalkül - eine fatale Affäre mit der Tochter des Staatsanwalts, muss zugleich seine Frau und Kinder vor dem anschwellenden Hass schützen - und nimmt immer mehr die Rolle des Paten ein.
Der Aufstieg eines Verbrecherhelden zwischen Gewalt, Eleganz und Laster, seine Verletzlichkeit als Jude im Vorkriegs-Warschau: " Der Boxer" ist grandios angelegt und fast filmisch erzählt, ein Panorama mit Sportlern und Schurken, einem Mann mit zwei Gesichtern, glamourösen Huren und charismatischen Gangstern. Ein überragender, thrillerhafter Roman, der eine eruptive Epoche geradezu körperlich erlebbar macht.
