The Pit: A Story of Chicago
Norris described The Pit as a fictitious narrative of a "deal" in the Chicago wheat pit, which is the nickname of the trading floor of the Chicago Board of Trade, where commodities are traded like stocks and bonds. One man tries to corner the market on wheat to make a fortune. More than a business story, the novel deals with love and the lack of love in a relationship, selfishness, power, greed, the financial power of men and lack of their power to control events that are shaped by nature. Quote:“Think of it, the food of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people just at the mercy of a few men down there on the Board of Trade. They make the price. They say just how much the peasant shall pay for his loaf of bread. If he can’t pay the price, he simply starves.”These poor people’s lives are completely out of their hands. In contrast, Norris suggests that ultimately the men down in the Pit don’t have power over them either, nor over their own lives, because above all, nature rules.

The Gilded Ones: Aranyló vér
A tizenhat éves Deka félve várja a Próbát, ami el fogja dönteni, hogy befogadja-e a falu népe, hisz természetfeletti megérzései máris kiemelik a társai közül. Deka azért imádkozik, hogy vörös legyen a vére, de mivel az arannyá változik, sajnos tisztátalannak bizonyul. Ez azt jelenti, hogy a halálnál is rosszabb sors vár rá. Ekkor azonban megjelenik egy titokzatos hölgy, aki kiutat kínál neki: beállhat az alakik közé, a császár kizárólag lányokból álló seregébe. Az alakik mind ritka képességekkel megvert, csaknem halhatatlan lények, egyedül ők tudják elhárítani az országra rontó Halálsikolyok támadásait. Deka annyira vágyik az elfogadásra, hogy belemegy a veszedelmes ajánlatba, és otthagyja a szülőfaluját, az egyetlen közösséget, amit ismer. Miközben élete legnagyobb harcára készül, azzal kell szembesülnie, hogy a főváros magas falai között számos titok lakozik. Minden és mindenki másnak bizonyul, mint aminek látszik. Még maga Deka is.

The Dirtiest Race in History
The 1988 Seoul Olympics played host to what has been described by some as the dirtiest race of all time, by others as the greatest. The final of the men's 100 metres at those Olympics is certainly the most infamous in the history of athletics, and more indelibly etched into the consciousness of the sport, the Olympics, and a global audience of millions, than any other athletics event before or since. Ben Johnson's world-record time of 9.79 seconds – as thrilling as it was – was the beginning rather than the end of the story. Following the race, Johnson tested positive, news that generated as many – if not more – shockwaves as his fastest ever run. He was stripped of the title, Lewis was awarded the gold medal, Linford Christie the silver and Calvin Smith the bronze. More than two decades on, the story still hadn't ended. In 1999 Lewis was named Sportsman of the Century by the IOC, and Olympian of the Century by Sports Illustrated. Yet his reputation was damaged by revelations that he too used performance-enhancing drugs, and tested positive prior to the Seoul Olympics. Christie also tested positive in Seoul but his explanation, that the banned substance had been in ginseng tea, was accepted. Smith, now a lecturer in English literature at a Florida university, was the only athlete in the top five whose reputation remains unblemished – the others all tested positive at some stage in their careers.
Containing remarkable new revelations, this book uses witness interviews - with Johnson, Lewis and Smith among others - to reconstruct the build-up to the race, the race itself, and the fallout when news of Johnson's positive test broke and he was forced into hiding. It also examines the rivalry of the two favourites going into it, and puts the race in a historical context, examining its continuing relevance on the sport today, where every new record elicits scepticism.
