Àííîòàöèÿ: Henry Green is a neglected master of 20th century literature who is ripe for rediscovery. These three brilliant novels span Green s career as a novelist and display his unique talents as a writer. Nothing is a tale of the merry-go-round of love, marriage and infidelity amid the ceaseless intergenerational tussle of innocence versus experience.

In Blindness, a young man is blinded in a senseless accident but thereafter discovers new imaginative powers.

But he comes to the attention of Dreuther, the director of his company, who changes Bertram—s plans for him: wedding and honeymoon in Monte Carlo, on board his private yacht. Inevitably Bertram visits the casino, and loses. But then his system starts working, and his trouble really begins.

Àííîòàöèÿ: In a poor, remote section of Southern Mexico, the paramilitary group, the Red Shirts have taken control. God has been outlawed, and the priests have been systematically hunted down and killed. Now, the last priest is on the run. Too human for heroism, too humble for martyrdom, the nameless little worldly whiskey priest is nevertheless impelled toward his squalid Calvary as much by his own compassion for humanity as by the efforts of his pursuers.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Pinkie, a boy gangster in the pre-war Brighton underworld, is a Catholic dedicated to evil and damnation. In a dark setting of double-crossing and razor slashes, his ambitions and hatreds are horribly fulfilled...until Ida determines to convinct him for murder. But Pinkie, on the run from her pursuing futy, becomes even more dangerous...

Àííîòàöèÿ: For Arthur Rowe, the trip to the charity fete was a joyful step back into adolescence, a chance to forget the nightmare of the blitz and the aching guilt of having mercifully murdered his sick wife. He was surviving alone, aside from the war, until he happened to guess both the true and the false weight of the cake. From that moment, he finds himself ruthlessly hunted, the quarry of malign and shadowy forces, from which he endeavors to escape with a mind that remains obstinately out of focus.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Once a fortnight, Fred Crawford drives his battered truck on the toughest mail run in the world - across sand dunes, salt pans and the fearsome Stony Desert - along the loneliest road in the Australian Outback. For the men and women of the remote cattle stations on the way, Fred s visit is a welcome diversion, especially when he brings a new nursing sister for the tiny mission hospital at Birdsville. But this time trouble comes along with the much needed supplies. For two vicious men have stowed away, fleeing the scene of a brutal murder. And when they hijack the truck, the entire extended community comes into jeopardy with Fred and his passengers. Alice to Nowhere, is the story of desperate men and lonely people. It is an action packed drama played out under the awesome influence of the vast emptiness of the Australian Outback.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Mankind has finally blown itself off the map. Nuclear war. The gretest single threat facing mankind. The arsenals of a man-made Armageddon await only a word...the touch of a button...a computer-glitch to reduce our cities to twisted wreckage, where survivors envy the dead.
