Описание: Bruce Pike can hear the sea at night and longs to go to the shore. When he befriends Loonie, his small town's wild boy, that dream is realized. Together,
intoxicated by the treacherous power of the waves and by the immortality of youth, the two boys defy all limits and rules.
Pikelet learns what it is to be extraordinary, feels
exhilaration for the very first time, and - caught up in love and friendship and an erotic current he cannot resist - he understands the true meaning of fear. These are experiences that will
far outlast his adolescence. How, then, to mask the emptiness of leaving such intensity behind? 'A love letter to the sea and a moving coming-of-age story ...Rapturous' - "Sunday
Telegraph".
'Breath has the sensibility and reach of an epic' - "Scotland on Sunday". 'Full of fizz and a vital poetry of sun, sand, sea and air' - "Independent on Sunday".
'Breath has the urgent clarity of a story that needed to be told' - "Guardian".

Shortlisted for the 2014 Miles Franklin Literary Award
An exhilarating new book from Australia's most acclaimed writer Tim Winton is Australia's most decorated and beloved literary novelist. Short-listed twice for the Booker Prize and the winner of a record four Miles Franklin Awards for Best Australian Novel, he has a gift for language virtually unrivaled among English-language novelists. His work is both tough and tender, primordial and new--always revealing the raw, instinctual drives that lure us together and rend us apart. In Eyrie, Winton crafts the story of Tom Keely, a man struggling to accomplish good in an utterly fallen world. Once an ambitious, altruistic environmentalist, Keely now finds himself broke, embroiled in scandal, and struggling to piece together some semblance of a life. From the heights of his urban high-rise apartment, he surveys the wreckage of his life and the world he's tumbled out of love with. Just before he descends completely into pills and sorrow, a woman from his past and her preternatural child appear, perched on the edge of disaster, desperate for help. When you're fighting to keep your head above water, how can you save someone else from drowning? As Keely slips into a nightmarish world of con artists, drug dealers, petty violence, and extortion, Winton confronts the cost of benevolence and creates a landscape of uncertainty. Eyrie is a thrilling and vertigo-inducing morality tale, at once brutal and lyrical, from one of our finest storytellers.
