A PRESIDENTIAL DYNASTY. AN ARAB TERRORIST ATTACK. DEMOCRACY UNDER SIEGE. Mario Puzo envisioned it all in his eerily prescient 1991 novel, The Fourth K. President Francis Xavier Kennedy is elected to office, in large part, thanks to the legacy of his forebears-good looks, privilege, wealth-and is the very embodiment of youthful optimism. Too soon, however, he is beaten down by the political process and, disabused of his ideals, he becomes a leader totally unlike what he has been before. When his daughter becomes a pawn in a brutal terrorist plot, Kennedy, who has obsessively kept alive the memory of his uncles' assassinations, activates all his power to retaliate in a series of violent measures. As the explosive events unfold, the world and those closest to him look on with both awe and horror.

Ever since her engagement, the strangest thing has been happening to Marian McAlpin: she can't eat. First meat, then eggs, vegetables, cake, pumpkin seeds--everything! Worse yet, she has the crazy feeling she's being eaten. She really ought to feel consumed with passion. But she just feels...consumed. A brilliant and powerful work rich in irony and metaphor, The Edible Woman is an unforgettable masterpiece by a true master of contemporary literary fiction.

„Je na mně, abych jménem hostů připil na zdraví řediteli, Jeho Hanebnosti Mrchodlakovi, a Koleji pro výcvik Pokušitelů. Naplňte si číše! Co to vidím? A jakou přelahodnou vůni, jak skvělý bukét nasávám? Je to možné? Vidím a čichám, že místní sklep i za válečných podmínek vlastní pár tuctů lahví starého, vyzrálého špičkového Farizeje. Dobře, dobře, výborně! Jako za starých časů!“ C. S. Lewis připravil tuto knihu krátce před svou smrtí 22. listopadu 1963. Jedná se o sbírku esejů, které se téměř výhradně zabývají náboženskou tematikou. Nejznámější z nich je Přípitek zkušeného ďábla, který je volným doplněním úspěšné knihy Rady zkušeného ďábla.
