Filled with heartbreak and betrayal, triumph and fulfillment, The
Right Time by Danielle Steel is an intimate, richly rewarding novel
about pursuing one's passion and succeeding beyond one's wildest
dreams by Danielle Steel. Abandoned by her mother at age seven,
Alexandra Winslow takes solace in the mysteries she reads with her
devoted father and soon she is writing them herself, slowly
graduating to dark, complex crime stories that reflect skill,
imagination and talent far beyond her years. After her father's
untimely death, at fourteen Alex is taken in by the nuns of a local
convent, where she finds twenty-six mothers to take the place of
the one she lost, and the time and encouragement to pursue her
gift. Alex writes in every spare moment, gripped by the plots,
themes and characters that fill her mind. Midway through college,
she has finished a novel - and manages to find an agent, then a
publisher. But as Alexandra Winslow climbs the ladder of publishing
success, she resolutely adheres to her father's caution: men only
read crime thrillers written by men. Consequently she publishes
under the pseudonym Alexander Green, her true identity known only
to those closest to her, creating an isolating double life. Her
secret life as the mysterious and brilliantly successful Alexander
Green - and her own life as a talented young woman - exposes her to
the envious, the arrogant, and the Hollywood players who have no
idea who she really is. The right time to open up always seems just
out of reach, and would cost her dearly. Once her double life and
fame are established, the price of the truth is always too high.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
