FIRST WE RECEIVED THE WARNING, NOW AMERICA MUST FACE THE
ULTIMATUM...
Eighteen months ago, Buddy Korda warned the nation that an
economic disaster was on the horizon. Now families across the
country are living out the grim reality of the second depression of
the twentieth century. Some say it was just a coincidence. Others
say he caused the crisis by frightening investors out of the stock
market.
But Korda's warning was not a mere prediction. It was a divine
message. And now Buddy has received another message -- this time
more than a warning, an ultimatum.
God's call leads the reluctant prophet to Washington, D.C.,
where his friends -- including Linda Kee, a well-known reporter
familiar with the D.C. power structure -- coordinate the effort to
bring America face to face with its heritage and its destiny. This
historic movement threatens to transform the current political
process. And the Washington power brokers will do anything to keep
Korda from succeeding.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. 'This was the slaying of the
Minotaur, which put an end forever to the shameful tribute of seven
youths and seven maidens which was exacted from the Athenians every
nine years.' The gods, heroes and legends of Greek mythology and
their Roman interpretations are as fascinating as they are
instructive. They include the almighty Zeus and his many wives;
heroic Perseus, slayer of the snake-headed Medusa; Helen of Troy,
whose beauty caused a great war; Medea, driven mad by jealousy; and
tragic Persephone, doomed to live half of each year in the
Underworld, condemning the world above to winter. First published
in 1880, this comprehensive collection is an early modern retelling
of the characters and tales of ancient Greece and Rome; a popular
account which offers an important insight into the ancient
civilisations that it evokes, and forms a basis for our
understanding of the classical world.

War and Peace is a vast epic centred on Napoleon's war with Russia.
While it expresses Tolstoy's view that history is an inexorable
process which man cannot influence, he peoples his great novel with
a cast of over five hundred characters. Three of these, the artless
and delightful Natasha Rostov, the world-weary Prince Andrew
Bolkonsky and the idealistic Pierre Bezukhov illustrate Tolstoy's
philosophy in this novel of unquestioned mastery. This translation
is one which received Tolstoy's approval.
