Our Game-Perpustakaan.org
By:John Le Carré
Published on 1995 by Alfred A. Knopf
At Forty-Eight, Tim Cranmer is a secret servant in premature retirement to deepest rural England.
His Cold War is fought and won, and he is free to devote himself to his stately manor house, his vineyard, and his beautiful young mistress, Emma.
But no man can escape his past, and Tim's lives twenty miles away, in the chaotic person of Larry Pettifer: bored radical don, philanderer, and for twenty years Tim's mercurial double agent against the now vanquished Communist threat.
Between the two stands an unresolved rivalry that dates all the way back to their shared boyhood at public school.
As the story opens, Larry and Emma have disappeared.
Have they run off together? Are they lovers? Has Larry lured Emma into some dark game she cannot understand? Setting off in pursuit of them, Tim discovers that he too is being pursued, by his former masters.
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Raiding his own past like a thief, he follows Larry and Emma into the minefield - physical and emotional - of their new allegiance.
And as Tim advances across the moral wastes of post-Cold War Europe - the battered landscape of England after Thatcher, the lawless worlds of Moscow and Southern Russia - his dilemma deepens.
Finding himself deprived of both past and future, a dispossessed loyalist, he must grapple with his own leftover humanity as the values he fought to preserve fall away, and the spectre of the reinvented Russian empire begins to haunt the ruins of the Soviet dream.
Our Game is John le Carre at his incomparable best.

The traveling pants are gone, but the sisterhood lasts forever.
The Back Of The Turtle-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Thomas King
Published by Harper CollinsPublished since 2014-09-02
This is Thomas King’s first literary novel in 15 years and follows on the success of the award-winning and bestselling The Inconvenient Indian and his beloved Green Grass, Running Water and Truth and Bright Water, both of which continue to be taught in Canadian schools and universities.
Green Grass, Running Water is widely considered a contemporary Canadian classic.
In The Back of the Turtle, Gabriel returns to Smoke River, the reserve where his mother grew up and to which she returned with Gabriel’s sister.
The reserve is deserted after an environmental disaster killed the population, including Gabriel’s family, and the wildlife.
Gabriel, a brilliant scientist working for DowSanto, created GreenSweep, and indirectly led to the crisis.
Now he has come to see the damage and to kill himself in the sea.
But as he prepares to let the water take him, he sees a young girl in the waves.
Plunging in, he saves her, and soon is saving others.
Who are these people with their long black hair and almond eyes who have fallen from the sky? Filled with brilliant characters, trademark wit, wordplay and a thorough knowledge of native myth and story-telling, this novel is a masterpiece by one of our most important writers.
