Описание: In the dim light of a basement apartment, six-year-old Claude Rawlings sits at an old white piano, picking out the sounds he has heard on the radio and shutting out the reality of his lonely world. The setting is 1940s New York, a city that is "long gone, replaced by another city of the same name." Against a backdrop that pulses with sound and rhythm, Body & Soul brilliantly evokes the life of a child prodigy whose musical genius pulls him out of squalor and into the drawing rooms of the rich and a gilt-edged marriage. But the same talent that transforms him also hurtles Claude into a lonely world of obsession and relentless ambition. From Carnegie Hall to the smoky jazz clubs of London, Body & Soul burns with passion and truth--at once a riveting, compulsive read and a breathtaking glimpse into a boy's heart and an artist's soul.

Beginning with a lesson in brutality at a progressive boarding school, the book moves to a self-help settlement in Florida, a Connecticut mental hospital (where Conroy's mother and stepfather are wardens), and to New York City (where he survives by his wits in schools, at jobs, and even more dangerously at home). Then, after his mother leaves for Europe and his stepfather installs an insane mistress in the family's apartment, Conroy runs away, embarking on new adventures.

Описание:
Karl Hoffmann's past controls his future. A past he has not lived. Karl resides on remote Bittern Island off New England's coast. He owns All Island Rental supplying tools to locals. On the eve of a blizzard, a stranger rents a saw. That night an abandoned processing plant burns down. Probing the fire the local constable discovers a murdered body. Karl's rental agreement provides the victim's identity. Karl is not comfortable with attention. He has reasons. Prior to his mother's death, Karl learned he is not the son of Kurt and Galina Hoffmann, German refugees; but the offspring of Kurt Viljandi, Soviet Intelligence defector, and Galina, a ballerina offered asylum in America. Shuffled from menial job to job by their "handlers," Kurt and Galina opted for a simple life on Bittern Island where they can live in obscurity. Obscure until Karl wants a life beyond the waters surrounding him. The murder gives Islanders impetus to examine things rather left unacknowledged. Local businessman Don Ostros runs a smuggling ring on the Island. The "Don" has spent years ingratiating himself with his neighbors. Honest citizens turn a blind eye to his crimes and seek to remain uninvolved in attempts to link him to the killing. A State Police investigator has other plans. Karl becomes a target when he is suspected of concealing evidence. To whom does Karl owe loyalty? "Bittern Island" captures the intrigue below the surface in the most commonplace existence in juxtaposition to the isolation and self-preserving motivation of life lived in remoteness. Here, the bonds and contradictions of human relationships intertwine physically and psychologically with the forces of nature in all its mutability.
