Book Description
John le Carré is viewed by many critics as one of the best spy and espionage novel writers. His most famous works are The Spy Who Came in from the Cold; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; and The Little Drummer Girl. Peter Wolfe has produced an informative study of le Carré's works, showing how le Carré's five years in the Service (British Intelligence) helped him become a keen observer, social historian, and expert in bureaucratic politics. He has supplanted the technological flair marking much of today's spy fiction with moral complexity and psychological depth. He shows us what spies are like, how they feel about spying, and how spying affects their minds and hearts.

Book Description
In this “absorbing” Edwardian mystery, an heiress turned amateur sleuth investigates murder in a “tightly knit tale with an unexpected twist” (Publishers Weekly). As heiress to her father’s international textile empire, Ursula Marlow’s fortune puts her at the top of English society. But as an Edwardian-era woman with wealth and power, Ursula is also the ultimate outsider. Her business leads her to Egypt, a trip turned sour after the mysterious wife of a wealthy Russian financier is violently killed. Days later, a young woman dies in a fire in one of Ursula’s factories. When Ursula learns the woman was already dead before the fire began, she is determined to find justice—especially after discovering a connection between the two murdered women. Ursula’s investigation reveals that someone is also trying to ruin her reputation, causing her to turn to her past lover Lord Wrotham for help. If only that were really an option for a woman as headstrong and independent as Ursula. . . . “Ursula’s second period adventure caps its romance and mystery with a shocking climax.” —Kirkus Reviews “The book sweeps from the steamy bazaars of Egypt to proper English drawing rooms as Ursula battles international intrigue and her own sensuous nature. Dorothy Sayers would be proud of her Oxford sister.” —Rhys Bowen, New York Times–bestselling author of the Molly Murphy Mysterie

Traitors and True Poles
Author: Karen Majewski
Publisher: Ohio University Press
ISBN: 0821441116
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
During Poland’s century-long partition and in the interwar period of Poland’s reemergence as a state, Polish writers on both sides of the ocean shared a preoccupation with national identity. Polish-American immigrant writers revealed their persistent, passionate engagement with these issues, as they used their work to define and consolidate an essentially transnational ethnic identity that was both tied to Poland and independent of it. By introducing these varied and forgotten works into the scholarly discussion, Traitors and True Poles recasts the literary landscape to include the immigrant community’s own competing visions of itself. The conversation between Polonia’s creative voices illustrates how immigrants manipulated often difficult economic, social, and political realities to provide a place for and a sense of themselves. What emerges is a fuller picture of American literature, one vital to the creation of an ethnic consciousness. This is the first extended look at Polish-language fiction written by turn-of-the-century immigrants, a forgotten body of American ethnic literature. Addressing a blind spot in our understanding of immigrant and ethnic identity and culture, Traitors and True Poles challenges perceptions of a silent and passive Polish immigration by giving back its literary voice.
