Based on the powerful true story of Lale Sokolov Broschiertes Buch For readers of Schindler's List , The Man Who Broke into Auschwitz and The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas comes a heart-breaking story of the very best of humanity in the very worst of circumstances. I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart. In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival - scratching numbers into his fellow victims' arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust. Waiting in line to be tattooed, terrified and shaking, was a young girl. For Lale - a dandy, a jack-the-lad, a bit of a chancer - it was love at first sight. And he was determined not only to survive himself, but to ensure this woman, Gita, did, too. So begins one of the most life-affirming, courageous, unforgettable and human stories of the Holocaust: the love story of the tattooist of Auschwitz. ----- ' Extraordinary - moving, confronting and uplifting . . . I recommend it unreservedly ' Greame Simsion 'A moving and ultimately uplifting story of love, loyalties and friendship amidst the horrors of war . . . It's a triumph .' Jill Mansell

Priča o Vivaldiju donosi priču o Adrijani d’Amato, mladoj Venecijanki osamnaestog veka koja obožava muziku, ali joj otac, strogi trgovac, zabranjuje da se bavi violinom. Unatoč tome, Adrijana se potajno sastaje s virtuoznim kompozitorom Antonijom Vivaldijem kako bi učila svirati. Njihov odnos se razvija iz učeničke veze u strastvenu ljubav, ali se suočavaju s brojnim preprekama. Adrijanin otac planira da je uda za bogatog plemića, dok se pojavljuje i privlačan udvarač, što dodatno komplikuje situaciju. Vivaldi, kao sveštenik, suočava se s društvenim i crkvenim pravilima koja zabranjuju njihovu ljubav. Oboje su svesni da će se njihova veza završiti nakon njene udaje, ali ne mogu predvideti okolnosti koje će natjerati Vivaldija da bira između ljubavi i muzike. Ovaj roman obuhvata više od trideset godina Adrijaninog života, istražujući teme strasti, muzike, ambicije i snage da se nastavi dalje nakon gubitka ljubavi. Čitaoci će uživati u bogatom prikazu zabranjene strasti i melodija koje prožimaju priču.

When Tiro, the confidential secretary of a Roman senator, encounters a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he unwittingly sets off a series of events that will lead his master into a historic courtroom drama. The stranger, a Sicilian wronged by the corrupt governor Verres, brings a case to Cicero, a brilliant young lawyer and orator eager to achieve supreme power. This marks the beginning of a compelling narrative, told from Tiro's perspective, that immerses readers in the treacherous world of Roman politics. It explores how one man—clever, compassionate, and vulnerable—navigates the complexities of ambition and power. The story emphasizes the significance of articulating ambition, as Cicero's bold declaration of his aspirations ignites hope and possibility. Robert Harris reflects on his long-standing fascination with politics, likening it to a contact sport. He highlights the timeless elements of oratory, strategizing, and public manipulation that make politics exhilarating. Cicero’s journey is not just a historical account but a universal exploration of ambition and the thrill of political life.
