Author : John Le Carré
Published by Alfred A. KnopfPublished since 1995
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.

Orley Farm. By: Anthony Trollope-Perpustakaan.org
Author : Anthony Trollope
Published by Createspace Independent Publishing PlatformPublished since 2017-02
Orley Farm is a novel written in the realist mode by Anthony Trollope (1815-82), and illustrated by the Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais (1829-96).
It was first published in monthly shilling parts by the London publisher Chapman and Hall.
Although this novel appeared to have undersold (possibly because the shilling part was being overshadowed by magazines, such as The Cornhill, that offered a variety of stories and poems in each issue), Orley Farm became Trollope's personal favourite.
George Orwell said the book contained "one of the most brilliant descriptions of a lawsuit in English fiction." The house in the book was based on a farm in Harrow once owned by the Trollope family.
The real-life farm became a school, which was originally supposed to be the feeder school to Harrow School.
It was renamed Orley Farm School after the novel, with Trollope's permission.
Plot: When Joseph Mason of Groby Park, Yorkshire, died, he left his estate to his family.
A codicil to his will, however, left Orley Farm (near London) to his much younger second wife and infant son.
The will and the codicil were in her handwriting, and there were three witnesses, one of whom was no longer alive.
A bitterly fought court case confirmed the codicil.
Twenty years pass.
Lady Mason lives at Orley Farm with her adult son, Lucius.
Samuel Dockwrath, a tenant, is asked to leave by Lucius, who wants to try new intensive farming methods.
Aggrieved, and knowing of the original case (John Kenneby, one of the codicil witnesses, had been an unsuccessful suitor of his wife Miriam Usbech), Dockwrath investigates and finds a second deed signed by the same witnesses on the same date, though they can remember signing only one.
He travels to Groby Park in Yorkshire, where Joseph Mason the younger lives with his comically parsimonious wife, and persuades Mason to have Lady Mason prosecuted for forgery.
The prosecution fails, but Lady Mason later confesses privately that she committed the forgery, and is prompted by conscience to give up the estate.
There are various subplots.
The main one deals with a slowly unfolding romance between Felix Graham (a young and relatively poor barrister without family) and Madeline Staveley, daughter of Judge Stavely of Noningsby.
Graham has a long-standing engagement to the penniless Mary Snow, whom he supports and educates while she is being "moulded" to be his wife.
Between the Staveleys at Alston and Orley Farm at Hamworth lies the Cleve, where Sir Peregrine Orme lives with his daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Orme, and grandson, Peregrine.
Sir Peregrine falls in love with Lady Mason and is briefly engaged to her, but she calls off the match when she realises the seriousness of the court case.
Meanwhile, Mr.
Furnival, another barrister, befriends Lady Mason, arousing the jealousy of his wife.
His daughter, Sophia, has a brief relationship with Augustus Stavely and a brief engagement to Lucius Mason.
Eventually Furnival and his wife are reconciled, and Sophia's engagement is dropped.
Sophia is portrayed as an intelligent woman who writes comically skilful letters....
Anthony Trollope ( 24 April 1815 - 6 December 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era.

** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! ** The Tonight Show Summer Reads Winner ** A New York Times Notable Book of 2021 ** "Insanely readable." —Stephen King Hailed as "breathtakingly suspenseful," Jean Hanff Korelitz’s The Plot is a propulsive read about a story too good not to steal, and the writer who steals it.
Jacob Finch Bonner was once a promising young novelist with a respectably published first book.
Today, he’s teaching in a third-rate MFA program and struggling to maintain what’s left of his self-respect; he hasn’t written—let alone published—anything decent in years.
When Evan Parker, his most arrogant student, announces he doesn’t need Jake’s help because the plot of his book in progress is a sure thing, Jake is prepared to dismiss the boast as typical amateur narcissism.
But then .
.
.
he hears the plot.
Jake returns to the downward trajectory of his own career and braces himself for the supernova publication of Evan Parker’s first novel: but it never comes.
When he discovers that his former student has died, presumably without ever completing his book, Jake does what any self-respecting writer would do with a story like that—a story that absolutely needs to be told.
In a few short years, all of Evan Parker’s predictions have come true, but Jake is the author enjoying the wave.
He is wealthy, famous, praised and read all over the world.
But at the height of his glorious new life, an e-mail arrives, the first salvo in a terrifying, anonymous campaign: You are a thief, it says.
As Jake struggles to understand his antagonist and hide the truth from his readers and his publishers, he begins to learn more about his late student, and what he discovers both amazes and terrifies him.
Who was Evan Parker, and how did he get the idea for his “sure thing” of a novel? What is the real story behind the plot, and who stole it from whom?
