Паулина Саймонс — новинки

22 июня 1941 года, когда радиоэфир взорвала весть о начале войны, Татьяна Метанова поступила скорее как легкомысленная француженка, чем рассудительная советская девушка. Надев белое с красными розами платье и радуясь летнему дню, она вышла на улицу родного Ленинграда навстречу своей судьбе. Да, такое могло случиться только с Татьяной. Из всех молодых людей ее сердце слепо выбрало поклонника сестры, а из всех русских солдат и офицеров ей приглянулся американец! И трудно было бы вообразить более беспечных, пылких и счастливых влюбленных, взахлеб читающих друг другу Пушкина, — если бы не блокада... и не сестра. «Медный всадник» — первый роман…

O minunata poveste de dragoste se infiripa in Leningradul ocupat de nemti, in timpul celui de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial.
Tatiana are doar saptesprezece ani, cand nazistii invadeaza Rusia, in 1941. Locuieste impreuna cu familia ei intr-un apartament micut din Leningrad, ducand o viata modesta, dar linistita. Razboiul n-a atins inca acest oras marturie a unei glorii apuse, unde mai exista speranta.
Fire romantica, Tania simte ca perioada copilariei a luat sfarsit cand il cunoaste pe Alexander, un locotenent din Armata Rosie de care se indragosteste la prima vedere. Dar intamplarea face ca rivala ei pentru inima ofiterului sa fie chiar Dasa, sora ei mai mare. Prinsa intre dragostea de sora si iubirea pentru Alexandru, inima Tatianei devine, si ea, un camp de batalie.
Cei doi indragostiti, Tatiana si Alexander, vor fi angrenati in iuresul evenimentelor si vor avea de dus o lupta apriga, plina de sacrificii, pentru a-si castiga libertatea si dreptul de a-si trai iubirea.

Love, passion, and friendship collide on the road trip of a lifetime in this breathtaking novel from Paullina Simons, internationally bestselling author of The Bronze Horseman and Tully.

There’s no telling where a journey will lead you…

Shelby Sloane has big plans for the summer of 1981. She’ll drive cross country in her graduation present—a classic yellow Mustang. In California, she hopes to find the mother who left her behind long ago, and then return East in time to start college. Her childhood friend Gina is desperate to reunite with her boyfriend in Bakersfield and has convinced Shelby to bring her along.

With Gina on board, Shelby’s carefully mapped-out itinerary is quickly abandoned. Soon, so is their “no hitchhikers” rule when Shelby picks up a mysterious girl named Candy Cane, who sets them all on a new and dangerous course. Streetwise beyond her years and decked out with tattoos, piercings, and spiky hair, Candy is on the run from a past darker than anything the two suburban girls have ever known. Candy draws Shelby and Gina into her terrifying world, where life as they know it is turned upside down and there is no place left to hide.

From the author of the celebrated, internationally bestselling Bronze Horseman saga comes a glimpse into the private life of its much loved author, and the real story behind the epic novels.
Paullina Simons gives us a work of non-fiction as captivating and heart-wrenching as the lives of Tatiana and Alexander. Only a few chapters into writing her first story set in Russia, her mother country, Paullina Simons travelled to Leningrad (now St Petersburg) with her beloved Papa. What began as a research trip turned into six days that forever changed her life, the course of her family, and the novel that became The Bronze Horseman.
After a quarter-century away from her native land, Paullina and her father found a world trapped in yesteryear, with crumbling stucco buildings, entire families living in seven-square-meter communal apartments, and barren fields bombed so badly that nothing would grow there even fifty years later.
And yet there were the spectacular white nights, the warm hospitality of family friends and, of course, the pelmeni and caviar. At times poignant, at times inspiring and funny, this is both a fascinating glimpse into the inspiration behind the epic saga, and a touching story of a family’s history, a father and a daughter, and the fate of a nation.

The epic and monumental love story Paullina Simons began with her adored international bestseller The Bronze Horseman comes to a breathtaking conclusion. The Summer Garden is the third volume in Simons’s magnificent trilogy—a Russian Thorn Birds—which follows a love that survived the terrible siege of Leningrad during World War Two, a heartbreaking separation and a glorious reunion in America, only to be supremely tested by the hatred, fear, and uncertainty of the Cold War. You will never forget the lovers Tatiana and Alexander and their story of enduring love and commitment, and you will cherish every moment spent in The Summer Garden.

“This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented, and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair!” —Daily Mail (London) Paullina Simons’s internationally bestselling blockbuster The Bronze Horseman told the heart-soaring tale of a young Russian woman’s transcendent love affair with a Red Army soldier during the siege of Leningrad in the dark days of World War Two. The epic story continues in Tatiana and Alexander—a novel of the enduring power of love and commitment against the devastating forces of war and the equally dangerous forces of keeping the peace. A sweeping, intensely compelling romantic historical…

The golden skies, the translucent twilight, the white nights, all hold the promise of youth, of love, of eternal renewal. The war has not yet touched this city of fallen grandeur, or the lives of two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha Metanova, who share a single room in a cramped apartment with their brother and parents. Their world is turned upside down when Hitler's armies attack Russia and begin their unstoppable blitz to Leningrad.

Yet there is light in the darkness. Tatiana meets Alexander, a brave young officer in the Red Army. Strong and self-confident, yet guarding a mysterious and troubled past, he is drawn to Tatiana�and she to him. Starvation, desperation, and fear soon grip their city during the terrible winter of the merciless German siege. Tatiana and Alexander's impossible love threatens to tear the Metanova family apart and expose the dangerous secret Alexander so carefully protects�a secret as devastating as the war itself�as the lovers are swept up in the brutal tides that will change the world and their lives forever.

Leningrad 1941. Two sisters, Tatiana and Dasha, share the same bed, living in one room with their brother and parents. It is a hard, impoverished life, yet the Metanovs know many who are not as fortunate as they.
The family routine is shattered on 22 June 1941 when Hitler invades Russia. For the Metanovs, for Leningrad and for Tatiana, life will never be the same again. On that fateful day, Tatiana meets a brash young officer named Alexander.
The family suffers as Hitler's army advances on Leningrad, and the Russian winter closes in. With bombs falling and the city under siege, Tatiana and Alexander arc drawn to each other in an impossible love. It is a love that could tear Tatiana's family apart, a love that carries a secret that could mean death for anyone who hears it.

Tatiana is eighteen years old, pregnant and widowed when she escapes war-torn Leningrad to find a new life in America. But the ghosts of her past do not rest easily. She becomes obsessed with the belief that her husband, Red Army Major Alexander Belov, is still alive and needs her desperately... Meanwhile, oceans and continents away in the Soviet Union, Alexander, having barely escaped execution, is leading a battalion of soldiers considered expendable by Soviet high command. New recruits survive only days. Yet Alexander is determined to take them across the ruins of Europe in one last, desperate bid to escape Stalin's death machine, and…

Many years have passed since that time Tatiana made lazy cabbage for Alexander. Yet it was still vivid in her mind: her grandmother’s slightly hoarse quiet voice, the taking of the tram across the river, the waning afternoon, the ache in her limping, broken leg: but above all, the desire to make something for someone, for no other reason than to please him.

Когда в 1930 году американские коммунисты Баррингтоны приехали в Советский Союз, они и в страшном сне не могли увидеть, на какие испытания обрекают себя и своего единственного сына Александра... А юная Татьяна, которая во время блокады Ленинграда похоронила всех родных, не могла предугадать, что в кровавые годы войны найдет и потеряет свое счастье, будет вынуждена бежать в США, а потом... Захватывающая, удивительная история о дружбе и предательстве, о силе духа и трусости, о бесконечной преданности и верности и о всепобеждающей, преодолевающей любые границы и расстояния, настоящей и вечной любви.
