Aşkım Senindir

El ambicioso Jonas Cord codiciaba la fama, la fortuna e incluso a la joven y bella esposa de su padre. Cuando éste muere, Jonas se propone conseguir todo lo que ansía. Pero Rina Marlowe, la famosa estrella de cine que cautiva a millones de hombres en todo el mundo, no será presa fácil. De carácter indómito y sensualidad cautivadora, su vida privada nada tiene que ver con la imagen de cuento de hadas que ofrece desde la meca del cine. De la industria aeronáutica a los estudios de Hollywood, de Nueva York a Los Ángeles, la historia de Rina y Jonas es la historia de una pasión ardiente, de una ambición desmedida y sin freno que les llevará a construir un imperio amasado con escandalosos titulares de prensa y con la sangre de sus enemigos: sólo para demostrar que el dinero, el poder, la venganza y la fama internacional no son suficientes. Una de las mejores novelas que se ha escrito sobre el mundo del cine, el poder, la ambición humana y la autodestrucción. Un billete de ida y vuelta a la primera mitad del siglo XX de la mano de Harold Robbins, un extraordinario narrador de historias.

Los Insaciables

As a teenager, Danny Fisher had all he ever wanted -- a dog, a grown-up summer job, flirtatious relationships with older women -- and a talent for ruthless boxing that quickly made him a star in the amateur sporting world. But when Danny's family falls on hard times, moving from their comfortable home in Brooklyn to Manhattan's squalid Lower East Side, he is forced to leave his carefree childhood behind. Facing poverty and daily encounters with his violent, anti-Semitic neighbors, Danny must fight both inside and outside the ring just to survive. As his boxing becomes legendary in the city's seedy underworld, packed with wiseguys and loose women, everyone seems to want a hand in Danny's success. Robbins's colorful, fast-talking characters evoke the rough streets of Depression-era New York City. Ronnie, a prostitute ashamed of how far she's fallen and desperately in need of friendship; Sam, a slick bookie who wants to profit from Danny's boxing talent; and Nellie, a beautiful but lonely girl who refuses to believe Danny is beyond redemption -- each of whom has a different vision of Danny's future -- will help steer his rocky course. Gritty, compelling, and groundbreaking for its time, A Stone for Danny Fisher is a tale of ambition, hope, and violence set in a distinct and dangerous period of American history. A classic, sexy bestseller by Harold Robbins, reintroduced to a whole new generation of readers.

Friction. Mafia turmoil. Hollywood snakes and Wall Street vipers. That's what Jed Stephens has got.

Jed should have known better when his shady cousin insisted they take a trip down the Amazon, to see the sights and check out the local color... Jed can't say he's surprised when their scenic Amazonian vacation turns into an enormous coca leaf buy. And that's just the beginning.

The Piranhas

In the hard-hitting works of Harold Robbins, even the sacred isn't sacred. He takes aim at the world of religious revivalism. They're all over the airwaves-the televangelists-promising eternal salvation for an earthly price. The biggest of them all simply calls himself "Preacher." He begins his career in the foxholes of Vietnam, with a noble goal: spread the word of peace, love, and charity. Back home in the States, he starts "The Church," where sex and drugs are as much a part of the culture as prayers and sacraments. Preacher's following grows as he travels throughout the country, taking the faithful. In Texas, he meets up with a powerful billionaire who likes his style. Before long, Preacher is the top entertainer in the televised arena of big-top, big-time religion for profit. Somewhere deep inside Preacher, a guilty conscience burns, and he knows he must make a terrible sacrifice to expose the hypocrisy.
