Wszystko zdaje się być grą, dopóki komuś nie dzieje się krzywda, a to, co Jameson Kane zrobił Tatum O’Shea przekracza granice tego, co wybaczalne. Tate pragnie, żeby zniknął na zawsze z jej życia, a on szybko uczy się, że stare powiedzenie: „Nie doceniasz tego, co masz, dopóki tego nie stracisz” jednak ma sens.
Jameson nigdy nie był dobry w przestrzeganiu zasad, a gdy postanawia walczyć o odkupienie, zrobi wszystko, by dopiąć swego. Proponuje ostatnią grę, która – jeśli Tate się na nią zgodzi – zakończy wszystkie inne. Nie wątpi w swoją wygraną, ale Tate ostrzega go, że nie ma szans; tym razem nie przegra. Nie wie jednak, że Jameson gotów jest na wszystko. Jeśli będzie trzeba, złoży u jej stóp cały świat. A nawet odsłoni swoją duszę.
Nie wziął jednak pod uwagę, że to wszystko się skończy.
Teraz Jameson może jedynie modlić się, by wyrządzone przez niego zło nie odcisnęło na Tate swojego piętna. Czasami trudno powiedzieć, kto tak naprawdę jest złem wcielonym…

Prezydent Wojciech Rałowski, krzepki czterdziestolatek (dostrzegalne pasemka siwizny w bujnej czarnej czuprynie zdają się poświadczać niezbędną dla funkcji dojrzałość, z chodu i z postawy promieniuje rześkość, energia, uprzejmość i jakiś nieuchwytny rodzaj ogólnej życzliwości) właśnie opuszcza gabinet; sekretarce poleca: – Pani Aniu, lecę do Madziara, chyba nikt już nie zadzwoni, za chwilę czwarta, fajrant, pani powie Wandzie, jak posprząta, niech mnie nie szuka, klucze zostawi Franciszkowi, jeszcze tu wrócę… Nie zdążył zejść na parter, a już do sekretariatu wparowała owa Wanda, przymilnie rezolutna i gadatliwa: – Pani Aniu, kochana, to o której on wyjdzie, bo wie pani, chciałabym, żeby on mnie widział do późna przy robocie, ja go tak lubię… – Wszyscy go lubimy, niech pani nie nudzi… – Pani wie przecież, że to on mnie przyjął tu do pracy pod dachem, zapamiętał mnie, z tamtego sprzątania przy straganach koło targowicy – taki kochany! – zawsze zagada, popyta o dzieci, a jak już kiosk miał i był tych wszystkich kiosków prezesem, to mi zostawiał co niesprzedane.

… Intensywność życia towarzyskiego pracowników w tak zwanych uspołecznionych zakładach (a wliczają się tu wszelkiego rodzaju urzędy) zależy od zagęszczenia niektórych imion świętych w kalendarzu, i nie podlega to żadnym ostro lub miękko zdefiniowanym w socjologii regułom życia społecznego. Tak sądził trzeźwy od zawsze racjonalista Roman Jankowski, póki nie podliczył ilości imprez i imprezek: oto, spadkowo z ostatniej dekady wiosny specjalnie dla naszej Pracowni ważny św. Lucjan (tylko czekoladki i kawa, pono dawniej bywał tort!..) wraz z św. Antonim; dalej Michał, Eliza i Jola, te u nas nie obchodzone, ale w innych departamentach magistratu i owszem! Ciąg pierwszej dekady lata to dni: Alicji i Marty, Jana, Wandy , Danuty, Władysława, Piotra i Pawła, Lucyny, kończą Marian i Halina, czeka dni 15 Henryk! Tak wygląda lista patronów z nieba wzywanych na ceremoniach chrztu, przyzywanych płaczem niemowlęcym do pieczy nad owocem miłości, na całe owocu tego ziemskie życie. Prawidło życiowe owego zagęszczenia dni patronackich odkrył Roman budząc się późnym, niedzielnym rankiem po imieninach Piotra Parzydły, kierownika sekcji nadzorów terenowych… (fragment)

Thirty years have passed since Greta left Marchmont Hall, a grand and beautiful house nestled in the hills of rural Monmouthshire. But when she returns to the Hall for Christmas, at the invitation of her old friend David Marchmont, she has no recollection of her past association with it – the result of a tragic accident that has blanked out more than two decades of her life. Then, during a walk through the wintry landscape, she stumbles across a grave in the woods, and the weathered inscription on the headstone tells her that a little boy is buried here . . .
The poignant discovery strikes a chord in Greta's mind and soon ignites a quest to rediscover her lost memories.

And, most definitely, not the angel she appeared to be . . .

Set in the anarchic world opened up by America's westward expansion, Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy is an epic and potent account of the barbarous violence that man visits upon man. Through the hostile landscape of the Texas-Mexico border wanders the Kid, a fourteen year-old Tennessean who is quickly swept-up in the relentless tide of blood.

Powerful and savagely beautiful, it has emerged as one of the most important works in American fiction of the last century. A truly mesmerizing classic.
