Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The Rise and Fall of Great Powers will consolidate Rachman's reputation as one of the most assured and exciting young writers alive.As Tooly strolled back downtown, she glanced at other buildings. No matter how she imagined their insides - parties veering out of control, kitchens with faucets running, angry couples playing cards for real money - the truth was always more peculiar. In a vertical city, cramped dwellings were the only territory unreservedly reserved, each home an intimate fortress. Yet they were so easy to penetrate. ('Don't want to intrude, but I used to live here. Might it be possible to take a quick look? I happened to be passing and - wow, even just standing here, so many memories!') Mostly, one needed only knock, say a few lines, enter. Why limit yourself to the outside when you could walk right in, peek at their lives - maybe even leave with a handy nugget.Who is Tooly Zylberberg? How did she end up running a second-hand bookstore in Wales? The Russian emigre Humphrey teaches her to play chess, but how does he fit in? Or Sarah who turns up without warning and then disappears again? And what about Venn, the shadowy and charismatic figure who seems to be one step ahead of everybody?Spanning three decades, and taking us from Bangkok to Brooklyn to the border towns of Wales, The Rise and Fall of Great Powers is a story about how mystifying the past can be, and how the lives we lead can seem indecipherable even to us. It's a story about unexpected connections and the revelations that change everything.The Rise and Fall of Great Powers will consolidate Rachman's reputation as one of the most assured and exciting young writers alive.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Tooly Zylberberg was lured from her home as a young girl and grew up in a world of eccentric outsiders. There was the charming but tempestuous Sarah, who sowed chaos in her wake; Humphrey, the Russian emigre who taught Tooly to play chess; and the charismatic Venn, whose worldview transformed her forever. Now, Tooly has left her quiet life in a bookshop in a small Welsh village to return to New York. To make sense of her past. To find out who she really is. Spanning three decades and three continents, Tom Rachman's The Rise and Fall of Great Powers is a story about long-buried secrets and how our lives can seem indecipherable even to us, a story about unexpected connections and the revelations that change everything.
