| Summary |
"Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire Grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe it's Janine, Miles' soon-to-be ex-wife, who's taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it's the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town-and seems to believe that "everything" includes Miles himself. In Empire Falls Richard Russo delves deep into the blue-collar heart of America in a work that overflows with hilarity, heartache, and grace " -- Goodreads.com |

"Зачем составляют метеосводки и почему облака не падают на землю? Зачем нужен барометр и почему появляется радуга? Зачем измеряют силу ветра и почему идет снег? Зачем "заряжают" облака кристаллами йодистого серебра и почему происходит смена времен года? Зачем ежедневно во всем мире в воздух поднимаются метеорологические шары и почему в горах холоднее, чем в долинах? Все о разнообразных погодных явлениях, которые активно влияют на нашу жизнь." -- Various websites. |
