Jonathan Swift's classic satirical narrative was first published in 1726, seven years after Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (one of its few rivals in fame and breadth of appeal). As a parody travel-memoir it reports on extraordinary lands and societies, whose names have entered the English language: notably the minute inhabitants of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, and the Yahoos in Houyhnhnmland, where talking horses are the dominant species. It spares no vested interest from its irreverent wit, and its attack on political and financial corruption, as well as abuses in science, continue to resonate in our own ... |

Декември 1941 г. Америка е на ръба на войната, а в Хонолулу, Хаваите, полицейският детектив Джо Макгрейди получава задача да разследва убийство, което ще промени живота му завинаги. Защото дирята на убиеца ще го отведе през Тихия океан далеч от дома и жената, която обича; и макар че САЩ още не го знаят, една японска флота вече пътува към Пърл Харбър.

Обхващайки цялата Втора световна война, Дирята на убиеца е красив, майсторски написан роман, който ще ... |
