Richard Stark,Dennis Lehane: The Sour Lemon Score

The Sour Lemon Score


Description

Bank robberies should run like clockwork, right? If your name s Parker, you expect nothing less. Until, that is, one of your partners gets too greedy for his own good. The four-way split following a job leaves too small a take for George Uhl, who begins to pick off his fellow hoisters, one by one. The first mistake? That he doesn t begin things by putting a bullet in Parker. That means he won t get the chance to make a second. One of the darkest novels in the series, this caper proves the adage that no one crosses Parker and lives Whatever Stark writes, I read. He s a stylist, a pro, and I thoroughly enjoy his attitude. Elmore Leonard The non-hero: the ruthless, unrepentant, single-minded operator in a humorless and amoral world. . . . No one depicts this scene with greater clarity than Richard Stark. "The New York Times""

As a portrait of a time and some of history's most dramatic and important events, these letters are Arcadia pdf invaluable. But they also give us a vivid and touching portrait of the love between a mother and son, separated by war, oceans - and the constraints of the time they lived in. "Please, darling monster, write as often as you can. It's so sad waiting for letters that don't come and are not even written. I love my darling boy. Don't treat me so badly again or I'll have your lights and liver when I get home". (19 November 1939). "I wish, I wish it was all over - Hitler defeated, the lights up again and the guns still". (2 October 1940). "Yesterday was a gallop of spirits and people and sun and fun". (26 September 1948). "I do my best but I'll always be a bum". (12 October 1948). 'All animals are equal - but some are more equal than others' When the downtrodden animals of Manor Farm overthrow their master Mr Jones and take over the farm themselves, they imagine it is the beginning of a life of freedom and equality. But gradually a cunning, ruthless elite among them, masterminded by the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, starts to take control. Soon the other animals discover that they are not all as equal as they thought, and find themselves hopelessly ensnared as one form of tyranny is replaced with another. 'It is the history of a revolution that went wrong - and of the excellent excuses that were forthcoming at every step for the perversion of the original doctrine,' wrote Orwell for the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945. Orwell wrote the novel at the end of 1943, but it almost remained unpublished; its savage attack on Stalin, at that time Britain's ally, led to the book being refused by publisher after publisher. Orwell's simple, tragic fable has since become a world-famous classic. This Penguin Modern classics edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury.
