Роберт Харрис — библиография

Берлин, 1964. Отношения между Великим германским рейхом, раскинувшимся от Рейна до Урала, и его соперницей, ядерной державой США, напряжены до крайности. Но Фатерланд с нетерпением ждет миротворческого визита — американский президент Джозеф Кеннеди обещал присутствовать на праздновании двойного юбилея, двадцатилетия победы Третьего рейха и семидесятипятилетия Адольфа Гитлера. В озере близ престижнейшего берлинского пригорода обнаружен труп старика. Как только Ксавьеру Маршу, следователю криминальной полиции СС, удается выяснить, что погибший — отставной партийный функционер, вмешивается гестапо, приказывая немедленно прекратить расследование. Правда слишком опасна, она способна низвергнуть правительства и изменить ход мировой истории. Но Марш на свой страх и риск продолжает распутывать клубок…

Бурным выдался в истории Англии семнадцатый век. В 1649 году мятежники Кромвеля прилюдно отрубили Карлу I голову, а в 1660-м на престол взошел сын монарха, Карл II. Чтобы положить конец круговороту расправ, был принят закон, дарующий прощение всем участникам гражданской войны. Всем, кроме тех, кто подписал смертный приговор королю. Этих людей преследуют, ловят и подвергают жестокой казни. Двое из них, преданные сторонники Кромвеля, полковники Эдвард Уолли и Уильям Гофф, спасая жизнь, бегут на самый край света. Но даже там им не скрыться от проницательного Ричарда Нэйлера, чиновника Тайного совета, имеющего личные счеты к цареубийцам.

The stunning new novel from the No. 1 bestselling author of An Officer and a Spy, Pompeii, Imperium and The Ghost.
Rome, 63 BC.
In a city on the brink of acquiring a vast empire, seven men are struggling for power. Cicero is consul, Caesar his ruthless young rival, Pompey the republic's greatest general, Crassus its richest man, Cato a political fanatic, Catilina a psychopath, Clodius an ambitious playboy.
The stories of these real historical figures - their alliances and betrayals, their cruelties and seductions, their brilliance and their crimes - are all interleaved to form this epic novel. Its narrator is Tiro, a slave who serves as confidential secretary to the wily, humane, complex Cicero. He knows all his master's secrets - a dangerous position to be in.
From the discovery of a child's mutilated body, through judicial execution and a scandalous trial, to the brutal unleashing of the Roman mob, Lustrum is a study in the timeless enticements and horrors of power.

'From what is it they flee?'
He took a while to reply. By the time he spoke the men had gone inside. He said quietly, 'They killed the King.'
1660. Colonel Edward Whalley and his son-in-law, Colonel William Goffe, cross the Atlantic. They are on the run and wanted for the murder of Charles I. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, they have been found guilty in absentia of high treason.
In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is tasked with tracking down the fugitives. He'll stop at nothing until the two men are brought to justice. A reward hangs over their heads - for their capture, dead or alive.
Act of Oblivion is an epic journey across continents, and a chase like no other. It is the thrilling new novel by Robert Harris.

The Pope is dead.
Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, one hundred and eighteen cardinals from all over the globe will cast their votes in the world's most secretive election.
They are holy men. But they have ambition. And they have rivals.
Over the next seventy-two hours one of them will become the most powerful spiritual figure on earth.

Laws are Silent in Times of War.
There was a time when Cicero held Caesar's life in the palm of his hand.
But now Caesar is the dominant figure and Cicero's life is in ruins.
Cicero's comeback requires wit, skill and courage.
And for a brief and glorious period, the legendary orator is once more the supreme senator in Rome.
But politics is never static.
And no statesman, however cunning, can safeguard against the ambition and corruption of others.

Paris. 1895. On a freezing January morning, the Jewish army officer, Alfred Dreyfus, is stripped of his rank in front of a baying crowd of 20,000, and deported for life to Devil's Island.
Among those watching his humiliation is a high-flying intelligence officer, the clever and resourceful Georges Picquart, whose dangerous love affairs leave him wide open to blackmail.
A few months later, Picquart discovers the Germans still have a spy operating in France. He mounts a sophisticated surveillance operation to trap the traitor. But the results are far more alarming than he ever expected, opening up a trail of corruption and deceit that leads him all the way to the highest ranks of the French army and government.
Now, in a vividly-written secret memoir kept under lock and key for more than 100 years, Picquart brings to life the Paris of the 1890s and tells the true story of a scandal that mesmerised the world.

When Tiro, the confidential secretary of a Roman senator, opens the door to a terrified stranger on a cold November morning, he sets in motion a chain of events which will eventually propel his master into one of the most famous courtroom dramas in history.
The stranger is a Sicilian, a victim of the island's corrupt Roman governor, Verres. The senator is Cicero, a brilliant young lawyer and spellbinding orator, determined to attain imperium - supreme power in the state.
This is the starting-point of Robert Harris's most accomplished novel to date. Compellingly written in Tiro's voice, it takes us inside the violent, treacherous world of Roman politics, to describe how one man - clever, compassionate, devious, vulnerable - fought to reach the top.

A body washes up on the deserted coastline of America's most exclusive holiday retreat. But it's no open-and-shut case of suicide. The death of Robert McAra is just the first piece of the jigsaw in an extraordinary plot that will shake the very foundations of international security.
For McAra was a man who knew too much. As ghostwriter to one of the most controversial men on the planet - Britain's former prime minister, holed up in a remote ocean-front house to finish his memoirs - he stumbled across secrets which cost him his life.
When a new ghostwriter is sent out to rescue the project it could be the opportunity of a lifetime. Or the start of a deadly assignment propelled by deception and intrigue - from which there will be no escape . . .

Robert Harris udowadnia, że jest pisarzem absolutnie wszechstronnym. Do gatunku powieści, w kt?rych jest mistrzem, właśnie dołączył thriller postapokaliptyczny &t;br/&t;Świat kojarzący się klimatem z Imieniem r?ży i Opowieściami podręcznej. Sceneria, kt?ra mogłaby pochodzić z p?źnego średniowiecza… gdyby nie to, że czasem można znaleźć w ziemi plastikowe przedmioty. &t;br/&t;Młody ksiądz Christopher Fairfax
przybywa do położonej na odludziu wioski, by odprawić pogrzeb tamtejszego proboszcza. Nie jest witany z otwartymi ramionami i budzą się w nim podejrzenia, że stary proboszcz nie zmarł śmiercią naturalną, a jego zgon m?gł mieć coś wsp?lnego z księgą, kt?ra zaginęła, i znajdowanymi w pobliżu kośćmi. &t;br/&t;Im głębiej Fairfax wchodzi w życie odizolowanej od świata wsp?lnoty, tym bardziej zaczyna się chwiać jego wiara w obowiązującą wiedzę o historii świata. Wiedzę, kt?rej strzeże Kości?ł, gotowy zrobić wszystko, by prawda nie wyszła na jaw. Jak to Kości?ł.

Oni kłamią, by chronić sw?j kraj. &t;br/&t;On m?wi prawdę, by ten kraj ocalić. &t;br/&t;Powieść osnuta wok?ł afery Dreyfusa, politycznego skandalu, kt?ry wstrząsnął Europą końca XIX wieku. &t;br/&t;Młody francuski oficer odkrywa, że najgłośniejszy proces o zdradę ojczyzny opierał się na sfabrykowanych dowodach. Najwyżsi rangą dow?dcy wojskowi robią wszystko, żeby zatuszować sprawę –
Georges Picquart podejmuje jednak walkę o ujawnienie prawdy. &t;br/&t;W trudnych czasach jeden człowiek może zmienić bieg historii. &t;br/&t;Oficer i szpieg to jednocześnie trzymający w napięciu thriller polityczno-szpiegowski i uniwersalna powieść o wynaturzeniach władzy. &t;br/&t;To także historia o służbach specjalnych, kt?re wymykają się spod kontroli prawa i uprawiają własną politykę, wedle kt?rej w imię „bezpieczeństwa narodowego” można gwałcić prawa jednostki. &t;br/&t;Powieść zekranizowana przez Romana Polańskiego i uznawana za jego najlepszy film od czas?w Pianisty!
