"Dispute over land and kingdom may lie at the heart of this story of war between cousins, the Pandavas and the Kouravas, but the Mahabharata is about conflicts of dharma. These conflicts are immense and various, singular and commonplace. Throughout the epic, characters face them with no clear indications of what is right and what is wrong; there are no absolute answers. Thus every possible human emotion features in the Mahabharata, the reason the epic continues to hold sway over our imagination."--Cover.

Il voto alla Camera dei Lord su chi debba ereditare la fortuna della famiglia Barrington è finito in parità, e la decisione finale del Lord Cancelliere getterà una lunga ombra sulle vite di Harry Clifton e Giles Barrington. Harry torna in America per promuovere il suo ultimo romanzo, mentre la sua amata Emma va alla ricerca della bambina che era stata trovata nell'ufficio di suo padre la notte in cui era stato ucciso; Giles deve difendere il suo seggio alla Camera dei Comuni, e apprende inorridito chi sarà il candidato scelto dai Conservatori.

Tuttavia, dopo essere stato dichiarato colpevole e condannato, Jelks scompare misteriosamente. L'unico modo per Harry di dimostrare la sua innocenza è rivelare la sua vera identità, un atto che ha giurato di non compiere per proteggere Emma Barrington, la donna che ama. Nel frattempo, Emma si reca a New York, determinata a trovare Harry, rifiutando di credere che sia morto in mare. L'unica prova che ha è una lettera rimasta chiusa e non letta per oltre un anno.

Ma grazie a un dono inaspettato Harry vince una borsa di studio in un prestigioso collegio, e la sua vita cambia per sempre. Diventato adulto, continua ad interrogarsi su suo padre, la cui morte non smette di tormentarlo e lo spinge a scavare senza sosta per scoprire una verità che appare sempre più sfuggente. È davvero figlio di Arthur Clifton? Perché sua madre gli ha mentito? E per quale motivo tutti si rifiutano di dirgli cos'è successo veramente? Ambientato tra il 1920 e il 1940, «Solo il tempo lo dirà», romanzo introduttivo della saga dei Clifton, conduce il lettore dalle banchine della classe operaia alle trafficate strade di New York City, dalle devastazioni della Grande Guerra allo scoppio del Secondo Conflitto Mondiale, in un viaggio al termine del quale il protagonista si troverà di fronte a un dilemma che non avrebbe mai immaginato di dover affrontare.

International bestseller and master storyteller Jeffrey Archer is at the very top of his game in this story of fate and fortune, redemption and revenge. If Danny Cartwright had proposed to Beth Wilson the day before, or the day after, he would not have been arrested and charged with the murder of his best friend. But when the four prosecution witnesses are a barrister, a popular actor, an aristocrat, and the youngest partner in an established firm's history, who is going to believe his side of the story? Danny is sentenced to twenty-two years and sent to Belmarsh prison, the highest-security jail in the land, from where no inmate has ever escaped. However, Spencer Craig, Lawrence Davenport, Gerald Payne, and Toby Mortimer all underestimate Danny's determination to seek revenge, and Beth's relentless quest to pursue justice, which ends up with all four fighting for their lives. Thus begins Jeffrey Archer's most powerful novel since Kane and Abel, with a cast of characters that will remain with you long after you've turned the last page. And if that is not enough, prepare for an ending that will shock even the most ardent of Archer's fans.

"Cat O' Nine Tales" is the sixth collection of irresistible short stories from the master storyteller illustrated by the internationally acclaimed artist, Ronald Searle, creator of Molesworth. These twelve yarns are so satisfying because they are ingeniously plotted, include richly drawn characters and have deliciously unexpected conclusions. They feature the mad, the bad and the dangerous to know as well as some more poignant and telling characters. Many of these stories came to Archer while he was incarcerated for two years in five different prisons, and so they have a prison theme. Others were inspired since he was released, but all in all they confirm his position as one of the best storytellers alive today. 'Stylish, witty and constantly entertaining... Jeffrey Archer has a natural aptitude for short stories' "The Times"

Dva roky po válce v Perském zálivu nastupuje do úřadu americký prezident Clinton. Irácký diktátor Saddám Hussajn se rozhodne znemožnit jej hned zpočátku a irácká tajná služba za podpory mezinárodního zločinu uspořádá důmyslnou akci, v níž se jí podaří ukrást nejdůležitější americký dokument Prohlášení nezávislosti. Americká CIA a izraelský Mossad naopak usilují o likvidaci iráckého diktátora a tak probíhají promyšlené a napínavé a divoké akce. Agent CIA Scott Bradley a agentka Mossadu Hana Kopecová mají jen pár dnů k symbolickému i faktickému zachování demokratického světa.

Román sleduje téměř třicetiletou politickou kariéru čtyř poslanců Dolní sněmovny britského parlamentu. V prosinci r.1964, kdy se po třinácti letech dostávají k moci labouristé, se ujímají svých mandátů čtyři ambiciózní, schopní a vzdělaní mladí muži různého původu, stranické příslušnosti i charakteru. Konzervativní stranu zastupují dva absolventi Oxfordské univerzity: Charles Seymour, druhorozený syn skotského hraběte, a Simon Kerslake, pocházející ze skromných poměrů rodiny advokáta. Za labouristy je zvolen právník Raymond Gould, syn řezníka z Leedsu, a Andrew Fraser, jehož otec působil jako konzervativní primátor Edinburghu. Během střídajících se vlád H.Wilsona, E.Heathe, J.Callaghana a M.Thatcherové postupují od nižších úřednických funkcí a postavení náměstků na místa ministrů, předsedů stran a jeden z nich získá nakonec i nejvyšší post premiéra. Autor, vycházející z vlastních bohatých zkušeností, zasvěceně líčí prostředí parlamentních rozprav, interpelací, hlasování i volebních kampaní.

The latest collection from the master storyteller. The fourteen - all new - stories show Jeffrey Archer's great skills with a wide variety of character, of subject and of setting, but all with that trademark twist in the tail. Every reader will have their own favourites: the choices run from love at first sight across the railway tracks to the cleverest of confidence tricks, from the quirks of the legal profession to the creative financial talents of a member of Her Majesty's diplomatic service. One of the most intriguing describes a woman who only appears to her lover every six years. And one of the most powerful is the story of a wealthy man who declares himself bankrupt in order to discover which of his family and friends will support him. The last story, 'The Grass is Always Greener', is possibly the best piece Archer has written. To Cut a Long Story Short is Jeffrey Archer's fourth story collection, and shows him at the top of his form.
