Peníze těch druhých
Románový vhled do horních vrstev britské společnosti, tradiční anglické bankéřské rodiny, kterou sice také semele ekonomická krize, ale rodina to díky svému vlivu a kontaktům na politiky uhraje ve svůj prospěch. Starobylá banka Tubal & Co. má možná v nepořádku aktiva a zahardovala si s důvěrou, kterou do ní vložila klientela, ale přece jen tradiční anglická značka, spjatá s historií, solidností a noblesou, pořád něco znamená. Kdo ví – třeba o ni projeví zájem fi nanční šíbři ve Spojených státech? Těm se však pozlacené bulíky na nos věšet nedají...
The Song Before it is Sung
On 20 July 1944, Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassin's bomb. Axel von Gottberg and his conspirators were hunted down and hanged from meat-hooks, and the executions filmed. Sixty years later, Conrad Senior is left a legacy of papers by von Gottberg's close friend, the legendary Oxford professor Elya Mendel, and becomes obsessed with what they reveal and finding the brutal film. Award-winning writer Justin Cartwright has conjured a masterwork that addresses the nature of friendship and what it means to be human, and it is a remarkable tapestry of passion, ideas, frailty and courage.
