Two for the Devil (Small Worlds)
Author: Allen Hoffman
Publisher: WW Norton
ISBN: 0789260069
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
It is Rosh Hashanah — the Jewish New Year and Day of Judgment — in Moscow during the Stalinist purges of 1936. In the Lubyanka secret police prison, senior investigator Grisha Shwartzman masterfully pursues the rigorous logic and obsessive legalism of the Soviet witch-hunt. Facing an extraordinary prisoner, Grisha realizes that the Soviet system he has faithfully served is murderously corrupt and that he himself will be the next victim — but not an innocent one. In despair, he flees to his home, where his deranged wife and an unexpected Rosh Hashanah letter from his father-in-law, the enigmatic Krimsker Rebbe in America, await him. The Day of Judgment proves to be a startling experience as Grisha, the once idealistic radical, judges himself, accepts his responsibilities, and is guided to sublime passion and possible redemption by his mad wife, who for twenty years has been patiently awaiting him in a closed wardrobe. In 1942 a train of imprisoned Jews leaves the Warsaw ghetto for "resettlement in the East." It is Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement and the holiest day of the Jewish year. In a crowded cattle car stands a lonely, defeated individual who is ashamed that he cannot even remember his own name. During the tortuous journey Yechiel Katzman will overhear a talmudic debate and meet a dull-witted giant who turns out to be none other than Itzik Dribble, also from Krimsk. As they arrive in the death camp of Treblinka, Yechiel remembers not only his name but also the Krimsker Rebbe's prophetic curse that exiled him from Krimsk forty years earlier. Yet as death approaches, that curse will prove a blessing. Stalin and Hitler decree certain death, but Grisha and Yechiel discover Jewish fates. The devil incites loneliness, degradation, despair, and even complicity; through memory, the victims elicit community, dignity, and the awareness of sanctity. Grisha's "Soviet" Rosh Hashanah and Yechiel's "Nazi" Yom Kippur are truly "Days of Awe." Even when death is certain, life can be lived.

An ex-magician returns to Vegas to confront his sordid past in one final, decadent showdown—but he may not make it out of Sin City alive . . . When a mysterious box containing a greeting card, a sheet of textbook paper, three human teeth, and an adult index finger severed just above the knuckle arrives unannounced on Rusty “The Raven” Diamond’s doorstep, he realizes he can no longer hide on the beaches of Maryland. Someone wants Rusty to pay for what he did years before, and if Rusty is going to survive, he’ll need to take the fight to Vegas. Rusty was once the hottest act on the strip, an illusionist who commanded sellout crowds for his death-defying act. But with bigger risks come bigger enemies, and it seems Rusty has made one of the most sizable enemies the Nevada desert has to offer. A mobster-turned-politician with every resource available aims not only to close the curtain on Rusty, but to make sure he pays dearly beforehand. Rusty’s final reckoning with his past will draw him into a trap that, even at his most Houdini-esque, he may not be able to escape, in this gripping crime thriller by the author of The Platinum Loop, praised by Publishers Weekly as “pulp fun at its best.”

Pages : 12917
Book Description
The 'Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection: 170+ Space Adventures, Dystopian Novels & Lost World Classics' stands as a testament to the vast and varied universe of science fiction, encapsulating the ingenuity and diversity of thought from the 19th to the early 20th centuries. This anthology spans a range of literary styles from the exploratory whims of Jules Verne to the dark, introspective narratives of H.P. Lovecraft, and the socio-political commentaries of H.G. Wells and George Orwell offering a broad view of the thematic concerns and stylistic evolutions within the genre. Notably, it includes landmark pieces that have defined and expanded the boundaries of speculative fiction, exploring themes of dystopia, utopia, cosmic horror, and science as both salvation and doom, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the genre's development and its reflection of societal anxieties and aspirations. The contributing authors and editors, each distinguished by their own unique contributions to literature and thought, bring a rich tapestry of background, perspective, and cultural context to the anthology. From the pioneering speculative visions of Mary Shelley, whose 'Frankenstein' laid the groundwork for scientific fiction as a critical mirror to society, to the sophisticated social critiques embedded in the works of Aldous Huxley and Sinclair Lewis, the collection is a convergence of voices that have not only defined but also challenged their contemporary sociopolitical paradigms. By aligning with various historical, cultural, and literary movements, these authors collectively amplify the anthology's exploration of human nature, progress, and the infinitely expanding boundaries of the unknown. 'Readers seeking not just entertainment but also a deep cultural and philosophical engagement with science fiction as a genre will find the 'Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection' an invaluable resource.
