THE LIE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Helen Dunmore | 304 pages | 05 Aug 2014 | Cornerstone | 9780099559283 | English | London, United Kingdom 'The Lie', el decepcionante drama Blumhouse para Amazon Prime Video Tell faith it's fled the city; Tell how the country erreth; Tell manhood shakes off pity And virtue least preferreth: And if they do reply, Spare not to give the lie. So when thou hast, as I Commanded thee, done blabbing-- Although to give the lie Deserves no less than stabbing-- Stab at thee he that will, No stab the soul can kill. Raleigh begins with an energetic determination to expose the truth, especially in the socially elite, although he knows his doing so will not be well received. From there the poem moves quickly through a variety of scenes and situations of falsehood and corruption, all of which Raleigh condemns. The second and third stanzas accuse the court of being arrogant and yet wholly rotten, the church of being inactive and apathetic despite its teachings, and those in government of favoritism and greed, respecting only those in large numbers. This is one of Raleigh's most anthologized poems. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page.

Petra Hammesfahr is new to me. Unfortunately I found only two of her books translated in English. One The Sinner, I'm not going to read because I saw the series which was very good and which made me read the second one that is this one, The Lie. The story is great, fast paced and interesting, kept me glued to the book. So why the 3 stars. I cannot say if that is because of the translation or because of the writing. My English version has rather dull writing. I really do not know if lots of things Petra Hammesfahr is new to me. I really do not know if lots of things were lost in translation. I'd have to find a reader who read this in German but wrote an English review to see if this question can be answered. Or else I would have to get my friend Lena to read it in German and tell me what she thinks :D View all 7 comments. Dec 03, marymurtz rated it liked it. Susanne gets off an elevator at a building where she is to have a job interview and walking down the hall is a woman who could be her identical twin. They look exactly alike, other than different hair styles and different clothes and grooming. In the weeks to follow, Susanne is approached by Nadia, the woman who looks so much like her. Nadia has a proposal. Be her double, take her place at home while she runs off for an occasional weekend with a man with whom she's having an affair. Nadia and her husband don't get along very well so their interaction should be brief, if at all. It's just to provide Nadia with an alibi, and Susanne with desperately needed money, as she's been unemployed. Things go smoothly at first, then become more and more bizarre, especially when Susanne develops feelings for Nadia's husband, and then when it turns out that there's more to Nadia's weekends away than first appeared. Soon, Susanne finds herself involved in a terrible case of more than just mistaken identity - there is embezzlement, fraud, extortion and blackmail, and then Susanne's very life is in danger. This book had a great premise and parts of it really drew me in. But there were so many extra characters toward the end, I got lost and the story hit a weird and clumsy tone toward the end. Either way, it was a fascinating read, decently written translated from German and a good distraction on a grey winter weekend. May 19, Monica Carter rated it liked it Shelves: international-thrillers. It was unreal. In Nadia's clothes, with Nadia's rings on her finger and the bag under her arm containing everything that proved Nadia's identity. A little more lipstick, eye shadow and mascara, her hair freshly died and cut by an expert, Nadia's stud earrings in her ears - and the illusion would have been perfect. A best seller in Germany, The Lie is one of those novels that despite its adherence to the confines of the genre and its many flaws, I still liked it enough for me to include amongst It was unreal. A best seller in Germany, The Lie is one of those novels that despite its adherence to the confines of the genre and its many flaws, I still liked it enough for me to include amongst the other titles of International Thrillers. It's one of those novels that for all its obvious shortcomings, it shouldn't work. But the implausibility of so many of the twists and turns is excused by the ingenuity of those very twists and turns and the Hammesfahr's obvious strength with pacing and tension. There are autobahn chases, sex, cyber spying, identity theft and a few thugs which is more than enough to make this book a muddled but entertaining literary escapade. The plot itself is a hard sell. Two women, Susanne Lasko and Nadia Trenkler, who are not related but look identical, end up meeting coincidentally. Of course, wink wink, it's not really happenstance. Susanne Lasko is down and out - out of job, mom in the old folks home, divorced, no love prospects in the future, childless and lives in a tenement where she is constantly harassed by an alcoholic ex-con. She had been married to a famous reporter, Deiter, with whom she supported during most of their marriage. He makes it big and leaves her. She was doing well as a business woman who worked in a bank, but of all the rotten luck, the bank is held-up and she is taken as a hostage and left abused and abandoned for two days by her captors. Since this incident, she can't seem to walk into a bank again. Her skill set is limited to bank work and the jobs she does try to get require either language or computer skills, which she has neither. It's difficult to believe that someone of her professional experience is computer illiterate, but Susanne is not necessarily the type to keep up with modern technology.
