Can you imagine a new chemical compound, a non-addictive designer drug that heightens your assertiveness, opens the door to your primal self, giving you an edge wherever you compete? Whether on the street or the football field, in a classroom or a boardroom. Wouldn’t you be tempted to try it . . . just once? What happens if it releases uncontrollable rage and makes you a killer?

Former U.S. Senator Quintrell is dead. His son, New Mexico's governor, is preparing his run for the highest political office in the land. And dark family secrets are about to explode with the devastating force of a Southwestern earthquake. An eccentric Quintrell aunt has invited genealogist Carolina "Carly" May to their Taos compound to compile a record of the illustrious family. But digging into the past is raising troubling questions about a would-be president's private life . . . and the grisly street crime that left his drug-addicted sister dead. As a dark world of twisted passions and depravity slowly opens up before Carly, there is no one whom she dares trust -- perhaps least of all Dan Duran, a dangerous, haunted enigma who's tied to the Quintrells' history. But she will need an ally to survive the terrible mysteries a father carried to the grave -- because following the bloodlines of the powerful can be a bloody business. And some dead secrets can kill.

Быть может, иные читатели усмотрят на этих страницах нечто вроде апологии нехристианских верований. Но не следует забывать, что сфера религиозная - совершенно особая сфера. Без проникновения в самый дух вероучений, без частичного отождествления себя с их исповедниками невозможно ничего понять в сущности религий. Только путь внутреннего сопереживания, когда мы будем искать истину вместе с анимистом, буддистом или греческим мыслителем, поможет нам уловить подлинную динамику религий, подготовивших мир к явлению Богочеловека. Движение к этому центру, или высшей точке, представляет собой поистине захватывающее зрелище; следя за ним, мы сможем глубже понять и смысл самого христианства. То, что было поисками Пути, Истины и Жизни, дает возможность по-новому взглянуть на Евангелие, увидеть его в широкой мировой перспективе.
It was a deadly mistake. Joseph Malik, editor of a radical magazine, had snooped into rumors about an ancient secret society that was still alive and kicking. Now his offices have been bombed, he's missing, and the case has landed in the lap of a tough, cynical, streetwise New York detective. Saul Goodman knows he's stumbled onto something big—but even he can't guess how far into the pinnacles of power this conspiracy of evil has penetrated. Filled with sex and violence—in and out of time and space—the three books of The Illuminatus! Trilogy are only partly works of the imagination. They tackle all the cover-ups of our time—from who really shot the Kennedys to why there's a pyramid on a one-dollar bill—and suggest a mind-blowing truth.
„Опыты" Мишеля Монтеня — один из замечательных памятников французской общественно-политической мысли XVI в. Написанные в 70-х годах XVI в. „Опыты" Монтеня представляют собой произведение особого рода, не имеющее ничего общего со специальным философским трактатом или сочинением на определенную социально-политическую тему. Избранный Монтенем жанр являлся литературным новшеством и давал Монтеню возможность совершенно свободно и непринужденно излагать свои мысли по любому поводу. Монтень задумал написать свои „Опыты" как своего рода автохарактеристику, считая ее предназначенной для ограниченного круга читателей, способных заинтересоваться результатами его самонаблюдения и самоанализа. А вместо этого получилась книга, резюмирующая самые передовые устремления мысли той эпохи, мастерское и оригинальнейшее произведение французской и вообще мировой литературы, не утратившее интереса до настоящего времени и по сей день привлекающее к себе внимание многочисленных читателей.
