The Thirteenth Tale Читать →Автор: Setterfield Diane The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield is a rich story about secrets, ghosts, winter, books and family. The Thirteenth Tale is a book lover's book, with much of the action taking place in libraries and book stores, and the line between fact and fiction constantly blurred. It is hard to believe this is Setterfield's debut… 73. Americana Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don A young television executive takes to the road in the 1960s with a movie camera to capture his own past in a “cinema verite” documentary.

Cosmopolis Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don From Publishers Weekly DeLillo skates through a day in the life of a brilliant and precocious New Economy billionaire in this monotone 13th novel, a study in big money and affectlessness. As one character remarks, 28-year-old Eric Packer “wants to be one civilization ahead of this one.”… 75. End Zone Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Amazon.com Review Don DeLillo's second novel, a sort of Dr. Strangelove meets North Dallas Forty, solidified his place in the American literary landscape in the early 1970s.

The book takes its title from the electrifying photograph of the man who jumped or fell from the North Tower on 9/11. It also refers to a… 77. Great Jones Street Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don The narrator of this novel is Bucky Wunderlick, a Dylan-Jagger amalgam who finds he's gone as far as he knows how. Mid tour he leaves his rock band and holes up in a dingy East Village apartment, in Great Jones Street. The plot revolves around his retreat and a drug designed to silence dissidents. 78. Jugadores Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Por primera vez en castellano, una de las novelas mГЎs emblemГЎticas del maestro de la ficciГіn norteamericana. Pammy y Lyle Wynant son una pareja atractiva, moderna, que parece tenerlo todo. Sin embargo, tras su vida 'ideal' ronda un tedio persistente y una desesperaciГіn contenida que les llevan a vivir aventuras diferentes, pero igual de letales. InsГіlitos… 79. Libra Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don For a few years, this book was everywhere-if by everywhere one means used bookstore shelves and remainder tables-a very visible reminder of what happens when the publishing industry misjudges a print run. I bought three or four copies of the book, not because I didn't remember buying it but because every six months the price… 80. Mao II Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Don DeLillo's follow-up to Libra, his brilliant fictionalization of the Kennedy assassination, Mao II is a series of elusive set-pieces built around the themes of mass psychology, individualism vs. the mob, the power of imagery and the search for meaning in a blasted, post-modern world. Bill Gray, the world's most famous reclusive novelist, has been… 81. Players Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don In Players DeLillo explores the dark side of contemporary affluence and its discontents. Pammy and Lyle Wynant are an attractive, modern couple who seem to have it all.

Running Dog Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don DeLillo's Running Dog, originally published in 1978, follows Moll Robbins, a New York city journalist trailing the activities of an influential senator. In the process she is dragged into the black market world of erotica and shady, infatuated men, where a cat-and-mouse chase for an erotic film rumored to “star” Adolph Hitler leads to trickery,… 83. The Body Artist Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Amazon.com Review Don DeLillo's reputation rests on a series of large-canvas novels, in which he's proven to be the foremost diagnostician of our national psyche. In The Body Artist, however, he sacrifices breadth for depth, narrowing his focus to a single life, a single death. The protagonist… 84. The Names Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Set against the backdrop of a lush and exotic Greece, The Names is considered the book which began to drive “sharply upward the size of his readership” (Los Angeles Times Book Review). Among the cast of DeLillo's bizarre yet fully realized characters in The Names are Kathryn, the narrator's estranged wife; their son, the six-year-old… 85. Underworld Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Amazon.com Review While Eisenstein documented the forces of totalitarianism and Stalinism upon the faces of the Russian peoples, DeLillo offers a stunning, at times overwhelming, document of the twin forces of the cold war and American culture, compelling that “swerve from evenness” in which he finds events… 86. White Noise Читать →Автор: DeLillo Don Amazon.com Review Better than any book I can think of, White Noise captures the particular strangeness of life in a time where humankind has finally learned enough to kill itself.
