…Софи живет в сказочной стране, где ведьмы и русалки, семимильные сапоги и говорящие собаки - обычное дело.

Dear Reader,

I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.

In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.

It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.

With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Впервые на русском - удивительный бестселлер Стивена Чбоски, трогательный роман взросления (""Над пропастью во ржи" для новых времен", по выражению критиков), разошедшийся тиражом свыше миллиона экземпляров и экранизированный самим автором, причем одну из главных ролей в фильме исполнила Эмма Уотсон - она же Гермиона Грейнджер из фильмов о Гарри Поттере. Чарли переходит в старшую школу. Опасаясь того, что его там ждет после недавнего нервного срыва, он начинает писать письма кому-то, кого никогда в жизни не видел, но кто, он уверен, должен хорошо его понять. Чарли не любит ходить на танцы, поскольку ему обычно нравятся те песни, под которые не потанцуешь. Каждая новая книга, прочитанная им по совету Билла, учителя литературы, тут же становится у Чарли самой любимой: "Убить пересмешника", "Питер Пэн", "Великий Гэтсби", "Над пропастью во ржи", "В дороге", "Голый завтрак"... Билл советует Чарли "быть не губкой, а фильтром", и тот честно пытается. Еще Чарли пытается не вспомнить крепко забытые детские травмы и разобраться в своих чувствах к старшекласснице Сэм, сестре его друга Патрика по кличке Никак...
"Эта книга стала немедленной сенсацией и по праву приобрела культовый статус".

Balram Halwai is the White Tiger - the smartest boy in his village. His family is too poor for him to afford for him to finish school and he has to work in a teashop, breaking coals and wiping tables. But Balram gets his break when a rich man hires him as a chauffeur, and takes him to live in Delhi. The city is a revelation. As he drives his master to shopping malls and call centres, Balram becomes increasingly aware of immense wealth and opportunity all around him, while knowing that he will never be able to gain access to that world. As Balram broods over his situation, he realizes that there is only one way he can become part of this glamorous new India - by murdering his master."The White Tiger" presents a raw and unromanticised India, both thrilling and shocking - from the desperate, almost lawless villages along the Ganges, to the booming Wild South of Bangalore and its technology and outsourcing centres. The first-person confession of a murderer, "The White Tiger" is as compelling for its subject matter as for the voice of its narrator - amoral, cynical, unrepentant, yet deeply endearing.
