Tom Stone Knihy

Tom Stone se vydává do Řecka napsat román, ale zůstává na ostrově Pátmos dvaadvacet let. Zamiluje se do francouzské malířky Danielly, s níž prožije sedm idylických let. Po narození druhého dítěte odjíždějí na Krétu, kde Stone učí angličtinu a Daniella maluje ikony. Přestože se usadili, Stone cítí, že jeho srdce zůstalo na Pátmu. Když mu starý přítel Theológos nabídne pronájem taverny Krásná Helena, Stone se rozhodne vrátit, což jeho manželka považuje za riskantní. Po návratu zjistí, že se jeho postavení změnilo – z přítele se stal konkurentem. Rychle se učí o schopnostech Řeků v obchodování a o kletbě ďáblova oka. Práce v taverně je vyčerpávající; zavírá se ve tři ráno a znovu otevírá v sedm. Přestože se těší na zisky a návrat na Pátmos, realita ho brzy zasáhne, když zjistí, že ho Theológos okradl o tisíce dolarů. Jeho sen se rozpadá a obrací se na svou rodinu, která mu trpělivě nabízí podporu a lásku v těžkých časech.

At the height of the McCarthy era and the inception of the Cold War, the great journalist I.F. Stone released The Hidden History of the Korean War, a courageous work of investigative journalism that demolished the official story about America’s so-called “forgotten war.” As the war spiraled to its conclusion, Stone closely analyzed openly available U.S. intelligence narratives on the war’s official start, and the actions of key players like John Foster Dulles, General Douglas MacArthur, and Chiang Kai-shek. The result of his investigations was a controversial book that raised questions about the origin of the war, showed that the U.S. government had manipulated the United Nations, and gave evidence that the U.S. military and South Korean oligarchy dragged out the war by sabotaging peace talks. Stone made a strong case that there were those in the U.S. government and military who saw instability in the region as in the U.S. national interest.
