Описание: From the acclaimed author of "The Drowning People" ("A literary sensation" --"The New York Times Book Review) "and "Natural Elements" ("A magnum opus" --"The New Yorker"), an opulent, romantic coming-of-age drama set at the height of Europe's belle epoque, written in the grand tradition with a lightness of touch that is wholly modern and original. The novel opens in Amsterdam at the turn of the last century. It moves to New York at the time of the 1907 financial crisis and proceeds onboard a luxury liner headed for Cape Town. It is about a young man--Piet Barol--with an instinctive appreciation for pleasure and a gift for finding it. Piet's father is an austere administrator at Holland's oldest university. His mother, a singing teacher, has died--but not before giving him a thorough grounding in the arts of charm. Piet applies for a job as tutor to the troubled son of Europe's leading hotelier: a child who refuses to leave his family's mansion on Amsterdam's grandest canal. As the young man enters this glittering world, he learns its secrets--and soon, quietly, steadily, finds his life transformed as he in turn transforms the lives of those around him. " " "History of a Pleasure Seeker" is a brilliantly written portrait of the senses, a novel about pleasure and those who are in search of it; those who embrace it, luxuriate in it, need it; and those who deprive themselves of it as they do those they love. It is a book that will beguile and transport you--to another world, another time, another state of being.

Описание: Telling the stories of Eloise, a brilliant, emotionally reticent fund-manager, who is approaching fifty and has gambled millions on information gleaned from her
one-time boyfriend, Claude (a dashing French scientist), and of Joan, her septuagenarian mother, a passionate, clever woman who finds herself trapped in a - hideously expensive -
nursing home, a victim of her daughter's best intentions, albeit guilt-led, and of a world that denies the elderly independence and respect. But this is just the tip of iceberg. The novel also
takes us to South Africa, to the shameful horrors inflicted by the British on the Boer civilians in their concentration camps and the story of Joan's resilient grandmother who survived such
a camp, and back into the nineteenth century, to the family who lived in 17 Huntley Gardens (now Joan's nursing home), and the secrets that shaped their lives.

Описание:
Penguin Books reintroduces the timeless story of the love affair between a British artist and a Chinese prostitute.
Robert is t he only resident of the Nam Kok hotel not renting his room by the hour when he meets Suzie at the bar. She becomes his muse and they fall in love. But even in Hong Kong, where many white expatriates have Chinese mistresses, their romance could jeopardize the things they each hold dear. Set in the mid-1950s, "The World of Suzie Wong" is a beautifully written time capsule of a novel. First published more than fifty years ago, it resonated with readers worldwide, inspiring a film starring William H olden, a ballet, and even a reggae song. Now readers can experience the romance of this groundbreaking story anew.
