Title: New Republic

Author: Lionel Shriver

Narrator: Edoardo Ballerini

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:16:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-04-12

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Summary:

A scalpel sharp political satire from the Orange Prize winning writer of We Need to Talk about Kevin.

Edgar Kellogg has always yearned to be popular. Leaving his lucrative career as a lawyer for the sexier world of journalism, hes thrilled to be offered the post of foreign correspondent in a Portuguese backwater with a home-grown terrorist movement. Barrington Saddler, the disappeared larger-than-life reporter hes been sent to replace, is exactly the outsize character Edgar longs to emulate.

The Daring Soldiers of Barba have been blowing up the rest of the world for years in order to win independence for Barba, a province so dismal, backward and windblown that you couldnt give the rat hole away. So why, with Barrington vanished, do the terrorist incidents suddenly dry up?

A droll, playful novel, The New Republic addresses weighty issues like terrorism with the deft, tongue-in-cheek touch that is vintage Shriver. It also presses the more intimate question: What makes particular people so magnetic, while the rest of us inspire a shrug? Whats their secret? And in the end, who has the better life the admired, or the admirer?

Summary:

The first in an epic new series, introducing a splendid hero, against the background of Europe in the Hundred Years War.

In the fourteenth century the English were just beginning to discover their national identity, and one of the strongest elements of this was the overwhelming success in battle of the English bowmen.

Englands archers crossed the Channel to lay a country to waste. Thomas of Hookton was one of those archers. When his village is sacked by French raiders, he escapes from his fathers ambition to become a wild youth who delights in the opportunities which war offers for fighting, for revenge and for friendship.

But Thomas is hounded by his conscience. He has made a promise to God to retrieve a relic stolen in the raid from Hooktons church. The search for the relic leads him into a world where lovers become enemies, enemies become friends and always, somewhere beyond the horizon that is smeared with the smoke of fires set by the rampaging English army, a terrible enemy awaits him.

That enemy would harness the power of Christendoms greatest relic the grail itself. In this, the first book of a new series, Thomas begins the quest that will lead him through the fields of France, until at last the two armies face each other on a hillside near the village of Crecy.
