Mary Stewart-Wilson Book order (chronological)

Книги Мэри Стюарт завоевали сердца миллионов читателей, получив при этом высокую оценку критиков, особо отмечавших её мастерство в жанре авантюрного романа. Ей удалось объединить в сюжете лирическую тему, детективные ноты и поистине кинематографический саспенс. Героиня «Грома небесного» Дженнифер приезжает в монастырь у подножия Пиренейских гор, чтобы навестить свою кузину, и узнает страшную новость о её смерти. Но путаница в объяснениях монахинь заставляет Дженнифер усомниться в том, что на монастырском кладбище похоронена её сестра. В романе «Дерево, увитое плющом» страсти кипят вокруг английского наследства. Юную Мэри вовлекают в опасную авантюру, ведь девушка как две капли воды похожа на исчезнувшую восемь лет назад внучку владельца родового гнезда. События, описанные в «Терновой обители», также происходят в Англии. Джили Рэмси переезжает в уединённое викторианское поместье, где любимая крестная оставила ей в наследство дом и сад, благоухающий цветами, целебными травами и немножко... колдовством.

Sám v této době cestuje po soudobém známém světě a svým vnitřním zrakem sleduje bouřlivé události v Británii. Ve vhodné době se schází s Artušem, aby ho seznámil s nastávajícími úkoly a povinnostmi. Společně se účastní vyzvednutí slavného kouzelného meče a tím vlastně jsou položeny základy k Artušově vládě nad zemí. Než nakonec usedne Artuš na trůn, musí překonat řadu nebezpečných překážek, na které pouhá Merlinova kouzla nestačí.

Das Jahr auf Valmy - bk1512; Heyne Verlag; Mary Stewart; pocket_book; 1986

The isolated cottage on the remote Hebridean island of Moila seemed like an ideal away-from-it-all retreat for writer Rose Fenemore, a place where she could work in peace, and where her brother Crispin could walk, fish and photograph the birds and wildlife. But it is not easy to escape the world and its troubles. Crispin's arrival is delayed, and Rose, on her own in the lonely cottage, has to cope with two very different men who come in from the sea on a night of summer storm.

When a dolls house has been designed by the most famous architect of his time, filled with specially commissioned objects of the very best contemporary domestic, industrial and artistic design, and presented to a queen for her personal pleasure, then surely a detailed study of it is justified. It is that story, with the remarkable photographic record of the house and its contents which accompanies it, which this book tells. The house was presented to Queen Mary in 1924 as a gesture of goodwill from the artists, craftsmen and authors most prominent at the time. It is not only a royal treasure; it shows in miniature a detailed picture of a domestic interior, and of an established way of life, in the period after World War I - and of course, unlike virtually every full-sized example of the kind, it remains entirely unmodernised. The craftsmanship visible in the contents of the forty rooms and vestibules is unparalleled, and it is presented here in David Cripps's photographs to capture an English period scene of incomparable charm.

Devastated, she believes, that the mysterious stranger is her destiny... the lover-to-be who waits for her now at Ashley Court. Now she is determined to find him.

Ein schwer fassbarer Wahnsinniger, der der Zerschlagung des Westens gewidmet ist, verfügt er nun über die Mittel, seinen albtraumhaften Plan zu verwirklichen: eine nuklear bestückte Kreuzfahrt-Rakete, benannt nach dem rächerischen Schwert des muslimischen Kriegers Saladin.
