  • The Key Man Стефан Кларк
    ISBN: 978-0-241-43912-8
    Год издания: 2021
    Язык: Русский
    'Impeccably researched and sumptuous in its detail... It's a page-turner' The Economist
    'This book tells the story brilliantly... Well-paced and cleverly organised. It also draws some devastating conclusions' The Sunday Times
    'Gripping' Guardian
    In this compelling story of greed, chicanery and tarnished idealism, two Wall Street Journal reporters investigate a man who Bill Gates and Western governments entrusted with hundreds of millions of dollars to make profits and end poverty but now stands accused of masterminding one of the biggest, most brazen frauds ever.
    Arif Naqvi was charismatic, inspiring and self-made. The founder of the Dubai-based private-equity firm Abraaj, he was the Key Man to the global elite searching for impact investments to make money and do good. He persuaded politicians he could help stabilize the Middle East after 9/11 by providing jobs and guided executives to opportunities in cities they struggled to find on the map. Bill Gates helped him start a billion-dollar fund to improve health care in poor countries, and the UN and Interpol appointed him to boards. Naqvi also won the support of President Obama's administration and the chief of a British government fund compared him to Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible.
  • Почти обычная королева. Жизнь и пристрастия Елизаветы II Стефан Кларк

    Год издания: 2021

    Язык: Русский
    Какой должна быть королева Великобритании? Истинной аристократкой, снобом или ответственной и серьезной личностью с внушительным авторитетом? А может человеком с необычайным чувством юмора? Елизавета II - фигура, несомненно, культовая, яркая и неординарная. То, от чего напыщенных политиков охватывает нервная дрожь, королева делает на раз, способная ввернуть искрометную шутку в любую ситуацию и разнообразить монарший быт. Еще в 1953 году, следуя в Вестминстерское аббатство на собственную коронацию, она попросила архиепископа Кентерберийского ее подтолкнуть, чтобы она "взяла старт" в тяжеленной мантии. Дальше - еще лучше!

    Язык: Русский
    Трудно найти более ответственную и серьезную роль, чем королева Великобритании. Тем более трудно предположить, что она способна пошутить и даже сама предстать в комичном свете - ведь это именно то, от чего напыщенных политиков охватывает нервная дрожь. Но Елизавета II делала это тысячу раз, и эта книга - прекрасное подтверждение тому, что королева, в некотором роде, юмористка.

  • Merde in Europe Stephen Clarke

    Год издания: 2016

    Язык: Английский
    One Brit in Brussels. Two French Women. And a whole lot of merde.
    The hilarious new novel from Stephen Clarke, bestselling author of A Year in the Merde and A Thousand Years of Annoying the French.

    Does Brussels really want to outlaw bingo, bagpipes and smoky bacon crisps? Are eurocrats trying to rename the English Channel? And can the ink in euro notes really make men impotent?

    No. Well, not exactly.

    But it is true that the EU is a seriously flawed institution.

    And it's about to become even more so as Englishman Paul West goes to Brussels to work for a French MEP, and gets an insider's view of what really goes on in the massive madhouse that is the EU Parliament.

    As Britain prepares to vote whether it stays in or exits the EU, Paul gets the chance to influence the result of the referendum.

    He has to decide: better the devil you know? Or bring on the Brexit?

    It's a decision that could cost him a lot more than his euro paypacket . . .
  • Dirty Bertie: An English King Made in France Стефан Кларк
    ISBN: 978-0-09-957433-0
    Год издания: 2015
    Издательство: Arrow Books
    Язык: Английский
    Despite fierce opposition from his mother, Queen Victoria, Edward VII was always passionately in love with France. He had affairs with the most famous Parisian actresses, courtesans and can-can dancers. He spoke French more elegantly than English. He was the first ever guest to climb the Eiffel Tower with Gustave Eiffel, in defiance of an official English ban on his visit. He turned his French seduction skills into the diplomatic prowess that sealed the Entente Cordiale. A quintessentially English king? Pas du tout! Stephen Clarke argues that as "Dirty Bertie," Edward learned all the essentials in life from the French.

  • A History of the Criminal Law of England 3 Volume Set Стефан Кларк
    ISBN: 9781108060752
    Год издания: 2014
    Издательство: Cambridge University Press
    Язык: Английский
    Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829–94) published this three-volume account of the English criminal law's historical development in 1883, four years after his appointment as a judge of the High Court. It is a revision and expansion of the second chapter in Stephen's 1863 General View (also reissued in this series). At first sight, it is ironic that the author of this classic of legal historical scholarship was himself a Benthamite who favoured and promoted the codification of the common law and worked on codes of criminal law and procedure for India and for England. Volume 1 includes coverage of pre-Conquest English criminal law, a survey of courts exercising criminal jurisdiction, a historical account of the main elements of criminal procedure, and a history of criminal punishments. Volume 2 includes discussion of the limits of criminal jurisdiction, the history of criminal responsibility, and the different categories of criminal offence. Volume 3 includes coverage of Indian criminal law.
  • A General View of the Criminal Law of England Стефан Кларк
    ISBN: 9781108060936
    Год издания: 2014
    Издательство: Cambridge University Press
    Язык: Английский
    The jurist Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829–94) published this work in 1863 to provide the intelligent layman with a general account of the workings and principles of English criminal law. He begins with a brief sketch of the development of that law from the Anglo-Saxon period onwards. He then covers the current law on criminal responsibility and the classification and definition of specific crimes, before turning to procedure and the rules of evidence. The book helped to establish Stephen's reputation and made possible his appointment as legal member of the Indian viceroy's council in succession to Henry Maine in 1869. Work on its revision for a second edition led Stephen into producing separate and authoritative digests of the law of evidence, criminal law, and criminal procedure, as well as his three-volume History of the Criminal Law of England, published in 1883 and also reissued in this series.
