White handles hefty quantities of research effortlessly, combining multiple biographies with a broader overview of the period. His energetic, anecdote-laden prose will have you hooked all the way from Orwell to le CarreSunday Times, Books of the YearCold Warriors reads like a thriller . . . ambitious, intelligent, searching historyThe TimesIn this age of 24-hour news coverage, where rallying cries are made on Twitter and wars are waged in cyberspace as much as on the ground, the idea of a novel as a weapon that can wield any power feels almost preposterous. The Cold War was a time when destruction was merely the press of a button away, but when the real battle between East and West was over the minds and hearts of their people. In this arena the pen really was mightier than the sword. This is a gripping, richly-populated history of spies and journalists, protest and propaganda, idealism and betrayal. And it is the story of how literature changed the course of the Cold War just as much as how Cold War would change the course of literature. Using hitherto classified security files and new archival research White explores the ways in which authors were harnessed by both East and West to impose maximum damage on the opposition; how writers played a pivotal role (sometimes consciously, often not) in the conflict; and how literature became something that was worth fighting and dying for. With a cast that includes George Orwell, Arthur Koestler, Graham Greene, Boris Pasternak, Andrei Sinyavsky, Mary McCarthy and John le Carre, and taking the reader from Spain to America to England and to Russia, this is narrative history at its most enthralling and most pertinent - pertinent because even if on the face of it there is a huge difference between 140 characters and 100,000 words, at the heart of both is the power of stories to change the fate of nations.

A sympathetic and perceptive account of a fine writer at a critical moment in our cultural lifeKEN LOACHOn 27 May 1958, A Taste of Honey opened in a small fringe theatre in London. Written by a nineteen-year-old bus drivers daughter from Salford, the play exposed a deeply polarised society in Britain, sparked press and political outrage and transformed its young author into an unexpected star. Shelagh Delaneys assertive female characters struck an immediate chord with working-class women who dreamed of more than just suburban housewifery, and her work and legacy would go on to inspire future generations of writers, musicians and artists. This is the remarkable story of how a working-class teenager stormed theatreland, exploded old certainties about class, race, sex and taste, and blazed an incendiary new path in British culture.A riveting book DAVID HARE

White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption.As early as 1925, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations, including a 1991 film starring Ethan Hawke and a 2018 original television series for Netflix.

Sie hilft in unermudlichem Einsatz Scheidungskindern, die sich nach Liebe sehnen und selbst fatale Fehler begangen haben. Dann wieder benotigen junge Mutter, die den Kontakt zu ihren Kindern verloren haben, dringend Unterstutzung. Denise ist uberall im Einsatz, wobei die Falle langsam die Krafte dieser groartigen Frau ubersteigen. Denise hat inzwischen aus Sophienlust einen fast paradiesischen Ort der Idylle geformt, aber immer wieder wird diese Heimat schenkende Einrichtung auf eine Zerreiprobe gestellt. Doch auf Denise ist Verlass.Der Sophienlust Bestseller darf als ein Hohepunkt dieser Erfolgsserie angesehen werden. Denise von Schoenecker ist eine Heldinnenfigur, die in diesen schonen Romanen so richtig zum Leben erwacht."Jetzt kannst du endlich unseren hochverehrten Chef kennenlernen. Dort hinten kommt er." Stella Wegener, der die Aufsicht uber die Drogerieabteilung des Kaufhauses oblag, deutete unauffallig in Richtung Tur, die sich gerade hinter einem hochgewachsenen, gutaussehenden Mann geschlossen hatte. Kerstin Hennings, ein bildhubsches Madchen von neunzehn Jahren, senkte rasch den Kopf und bemuhte sich, ihre Arbeit besonders ordentlich zu machen. Seit etwas uber zwei Wochen arbeitete sie schon in diesem Kaufhaus, raumte Regale ein und wischte mehrmals am Tag den Fuboden auf. Die Arbeit machte ihr keine Freude, aber sie war froh, da sie uberhaupt etwas arbeiten konnte. Zwar hatte Kerstin mit mittlerem Erfolg ihre Banklehre absolviert, aber nach der Abschluprufung ist sie leider nicht ubernommen worden. So war ihr nach langerem Suchen nichts anderes ubriggeblieben, als das Angebot von Merkels Kaufhaus anzunehmen. Seit uber einem Vierteljahr lebte sie schon mit ihrer schwerkranken Mutter in einer kleinen Wohnung am Rande von Maibach, damals war ihr Vater an einem unheilbaren Magenleiden gestorben. Noch hatte Kerstin seinen Tod nicht verwunden, dazu kam noch die Sorge um die Mutter, die mit jedem Tag verharmter aussah. Kerstin duckte sich noch tiefer in das unterste Regal, als sie fuhlte, da Richard Merkel immer naher kam. Ihr dunkles, schulterlanges Haar fiel nach vorne, und sie hatte es am liebsten zuruckgestreift, um ihn unbemerkt ansehen zu konnen. Nur einen Augenblick pate sie nicht richtig auf und schon geschah es. Eine Glasflasche mit Haarwasser rutschte ihr aus der Hand und fiel mit einem lauten Klirren zu Boden, wo sie in tausend Scherben zersprang. "Machen Sie das ofter so?" fragte Richard Merkel und runzelte mibilligend seine dunklen, dichten Augenbrauen. Um seine Lippen glitt ein etwas uberhebliches Lacheln. "Entschuldigen Sie bitte, ich war unvorsichtig", gab Kerstin kleinlaut zu und strich nun doch mit der linken Hand die Strahne zuruck. Ihr Blick wanderte von den schwarz glanzenden Schuhspitzen hinauf, an der exakten Bugelfalte seiner dunklen Hose entlang, bis zu dem markant geschnittenen Gesicht des Mannes.
