Description:

SUMMARY:
The world’s most powerful newspaper barons – which of them will triumph? At first glance, Richard Armstrong and Keith Townsend seemed to have little in common. One was the son of an illiterate peasant, who emerged from the most backward corner of a Europe ravaged by a bitter war. The other was raised in a mansion on the far side of the world while the war was just another piece of news. One was a hustler, a thief, ready to change even his identity, if it would gain him a momentary advantage. The other was the scion of a well-known family, groomed for a public role, a rebel who didn’t care if anyone approved of what he got up to. One craved wealth, recognition, status. The other quickly discovered that real power comes from anonymity. But they did have one thing in common. Both of them were gamblers. Both were prepared to risk everything in their battle to control the biggest newspaper empire in the world.

Description:

From Publishers Weekly
Veteran novelist and British politician Archer (Kane and Abel) is currently serving a prison sentence for perjury, so readers can perhaps forgive him if this latest effort falls short of his usual standard. The implausibly plotted novel follows fraternal twin boys separated at birth by a bizarre set of circumstances. Nat Cartwright and Fletcher Davenport are born in Hartford, Conn., in the early 1950s. A meddlesome nurse sends them home with different families. Nat is raised in a lower-middle-class household, attends the University of Connecticut, serves heroically in Vietnam and goes into banking. Fletcher, the wealthy Yalie, becomes a lawyer and a politician. The men are repeatedly thrown into competition with each other, whether for admission to college or in their professional lives, their rivalry culminating when they both run for governor of their home state. The characters are too thin, and their respective worlds too littered with clich‚s, to offer a satisfying portrait of the baby boomer generation. Contrived plot twists offer little distraction, while the dialogue sometimes reads like a set of photo captions-information without emotion. "When you think about it, they are the obvious predator," says Nat about a takeover threat. "Fairchild’s is the largest bank in the state; seventy-one branches with almost no serious rivals." Archer is usually a skillful storyteller, but he drops the ball here.

From
In Hartford, Connecticut, during the early 1950s, twin boys are separated at birth. Fletcher and Nat attend competing colleges, fall for the same girl, and have best friends who are the sons of movers and shakers. In the 1960s, Nat is drafted and becomes a hero in Vietnam, while Fletcher goes into law. By the 1990s, Nat’s an affluent banker, and Fletcher’s a politico on the rise; then, inevitably, their paths come together. Archer’s long-anticipated new novel is sure to garner loads of publicity, but much of it may have little to do with the quality of the book: the former Olympic athlete and fabulously wealthy novelist, once a member of the British House of Lords, is currently serving a four-year prison sentence for perjury. Is the novel good? It’s actually pretty standard stuff from Archer, author of such best-sellers as The Fourth Estate (1996): broad-stroke character portraits painted on a large canvas, a two-dimensional but somehow compelling saga of ambition and destiny. Fans will be quite pleased, while his critics will note all the usual deficiencies, among them a largely wooden supporting cast and dialogue that is often ludicrous. In a nutshell: a typically slick, well-written, but shallow novel that will benefit from the author’s notoriety. David Pitt

Description:

Heaven, Jeffrey Archer’s final volume in his trilogy of prison diaries, covers the period of his transfer from a medium security prison, HMP Wayland, to his eventual release on parole in July 2003. It includes a shocking account of the traumatic time he spent in the notorious Lincoln jail and the events that led to his incarceration there, and also shines a harsh light on a system that is close to its breaking point.
Told with humor, compassion, and honesty, the diary closes with a thought-provoking manifesto that will be applauded by reform advocates and the prison population alike.

From Publishers Weekly
In 2001, bestselling novelist Archer (Sons of Fortune; etc.) was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment for perjury. Volume one of his diaries detailed his first 22 days at a facility for violent offenders; volume two described his move to a place mostly populated by drug offenders and armed robbers. Volume three opens on Day 89, as Archer arrives at North Sea Camp, an "open" prison for well-behaved lifers and convicts nearing parole. As hospital orderly, Archer has certain perks-a private room with bath-and a full work schedule, essential for staving off prison’s big challenge: boredom. Being a writer helps; he fills the hours writing his diary and interviewing fellow inmates. There’s a whole lot of tedious "what I ate for breakfast"-type entries which make a strong case for how dull prison life really is. There’s no discussion anywhere of Archer’s crime and little talk of British Conservative politics; the focus stays on daily prison life. Archer’s fiction fans will read this volume just to see him home free; for prison reform advocates, the entire series may open doors to Archer’s other work.

Description:

Szokująca i mrocznie zabawna relacja o rzeczywistości brytyjskich więzień.

Gdzie za puszkę tuńczyka można kupić czyste ubrania? Który brytyjski system edukacji zmaga się z 50% analfabetyzmem? Gdzie muzułmańscy abstynenci uczęszczają na spotkania AA? Gdzie łatwiej jest dostać "spice" niż paracetamol? Gdzie samookaleczenie ledwie wzbudza zainteresowanie?

Witamy w Służbie Więziennej Jej Królewskiej Mości, w skrzypiącym i surrealistycznym świecie, który przez dekady gnił w cieniu ułożonego społeczeństwa. Jak większość ludzi, dokumentalista Chris Atkins nie spędzał zbyt wiele czasu myśląc o więzieniach. Jednak po tym, jak został wplątany w podejrzaną intrygę mającą na celu sfinansowanie jego ostatniego filmu, został skazany na pięć lat. Jego nowym domem był HMP Wandsworth, jedno z najstarszych, największych i najbardziej dysfunkcyjnych więzień w Europie.

To przerażający, wzruszający i mrocznie zabawny obraz, który tam zastał, przedstawiony bez żadnego upiększania. Cała gama typów i typków, od przebiegłych dilerów narkotyków, przez skorumpowanych klawiszy, po wysokich rangą urzędników, próbujących przeprowadzić niekończącą się (i bezowocną) reformę – oto rzeczywistość za zamkniętymi drzwiami. Pełna niesamowitych i zabawnych historii książka "A Bit of a Stretch" ujawnia prawdziwą skalę brytyjskiego kryzysu więziennego i odpowiada na pytanie, dlaczego wszyscy ponosimy tego koszty.

Description:

‘The sun is shining through the bars of my window on what must be a glorious summer day. I’ve been incarcerated in a cell five paces by three for twelve and a half hours, and will not be let out again until midday; eighteen and a half hours of solitary confinement. There is a child of seventeen in the cell below me who has been charged with shoplifting – his first offence, not even convicted – and he is being locked up for eighteen and a half hours, unable to speak to anyone. This is Great Britain in the twenty-first century, not Turkey, not Nigeria, not Kosovo, but Britain.’ On Thursday 19 July 2001, after a perjury trial lasting seven weeks, Jeffrey Archer was sentenced to four years in jail. He was to spend the first twenty-two days and fourteen hours in HMP Belmarsh, a double A-Category high-security prison in South London, which houses some of Britain’s most violent criminals. This is the author’s daily record of the time he spent there.

Review
"They’ve now supplied me with a Bic razor…I consider cutting my throat, but the thought of failure and having to return to that awful hospital wing is enough to put anyone off."

From Publishers Weekly
A real-life mountaineering mystery serves as the springboard for bestseller Archer’s abysmal latest. The plot begins promisingly with the body of mountaineer George Mallory discovered on the slopes of Mt. Everest in 1999, possibly having been the first man to have reached the summit. But hopes of an adventurous yarn are soon dashed as the novel becomes a long flashback, offering stock vignettes of Mallory’s childhood, Cambridge days and mountaineering adventures. These passages are hampered by phoned-in writing, clumsy attempts at verisimilitude and a notable lack of psychological depth. Along the way, Mallory marries, becomes a father, serves in WWI and finds himself pitted against Australian mountaineer George Finch as a potential leader of Britain’s push to conquer Everest. Archer does eventually offer his opinion as to whether Mallory summited Everest, but by that point all but his most devoted fans will have fled the icy crags of this lifeless novel. (Mar.)

Description:

The "Clifton Chronicles" is Jeffrey Archer’s most ambitious work in four decades as an international bestselling author. The epic tale of Harry Clifton’s life begins in 1920, with the chilling words, ‘I was told that my father was killed in the war’. But it will be another twenty years before Harry discovers how his father really died, which will only lead him to question: who was his father? Is he the son of Arthur Clifton, a stevedore who worked in Bristol docks, or the first born son of a scion of West Country society, whose family owns a shipping line? "Only Time Will Tell" covers the years from 1920 to 1940, and includes a cast of memorable characters that "The Times" has compared to "The Forsyte Saga". Volume one takes us from the ravages of the Great War to the outbreak of the Second World War, when Harry must decide whether to take up a place at Oxford, or join the navy and go to war with Hitler’s Germany. In Jeffrey Archer’s masterful hands, the reader is taken on a journey that they won’t want to end, and when you turn the last page of this unforgettable yarn, you will be faced with a dilemma that neither you, nor Harry Clifton could have anticipated.
