Stars and Bars
ISBN: 9780141046921 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) All Henderson Dores dreams of is fitting in. But America, land of the loony millionaire and the subway poet, down-home Bible-basher and sharp-suited hood, of paralysing personal frankness and surreally fantasized facilities, is hard enough for an Englishman to fit in to. Henderson could never shed enough inhibitions to become just another weirdo. Or could he? This hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy, which Boyd also adapted for screen for the 1980s film starring Daniel Day Lewis, was described in the Guardian as, 'Splittingly shrewd and engaging ... with an extra and uneasy little something...

ISBN: 9780141044187 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Lorimer Black - young, good-looking, but with a somewhat troubled expression - does not understand why his world is being torn apart, though he does know that for the most part it is made up of bluster and hypocrisy. His business, trying to keep insurance companies from paying out the money they've promised, is a con game run with the protection of the law. One winter's morning, Lorimer goes to keep a perfectly routine business appointment and finds a hanged man. A bad start to the day, by any standards, and an ominous portent of things to come.

Morgan Leafy isn't overburdened with worldly success. Actually, he is refreshingly free from it. But then, as a representative of Her Britannic Majesty in tropical Kinjanja, it was not very constructive of him to get involved in wholesale bribery. Nor was it exactly oiling his way up the ladder to hunt down the improbably pointed breasts of his boss's daughter when officially banned from horizontal delights by a nasty dose ... Falling back on his deep-laid reserves of misanthropy and guile, Morgan has to fight off the sea of humiliation,...

Unser Mann in Afrika
ISBN: 9783311150947 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der Brite Morgan Leafy ist Botschaftssekretär Ihrer Majestät im westafrikanischen Kinjanja. Er soll die kulturelle Souveränität der ehemaligen Kolonialherren repräsentieren, ist allerdings nicht gerade ein diplomatisches Naturtalent. Seine Schwäche für schöne Frauen, übermäßiger Alkoholkonsum und die Abneigung dem Land gegenüber erschweren ihm den Job. Hoffnungslos verfängt er sich in den Fallstricken der korrupten Lokalpolitik, und die zarte Romanze mit Priscilla, der Tochter seines Chefs, endet, bevor sie angefangen hat. Als dann noch eine Leiche auftaucht, die er partout nicht...
