Story
This novel is based on Arthur Conan Doyle's extraordinary real-life fight for justice. Arthur and George grow up worlds and miles apart in late 19th-century Britain: Arthur in shabby-genteel Edinburgh, George in the vicarage of a small Staffordshire village. Arthur becomes a doctor, and then a writer, George a solicitor in Birmingham. Arthur is to become one of the most famous men of his age; George remains in hardworking obscurity. But as the new century begins, they are brought together by a sequence of events which made sensational headlines at the time as The Great Wyrley Outrages.

Story
The adolescent Christopher and his soul mate, Toni, had sneered at the stifling ennui of Metroland, their cosy patch of suburbia on the Metropolitan line. They had longed for Life to begin - meaning Sex and Freedom - to travel and choose their own clothes. Then Chris, at 30, starts to settle comfortably into bourgeois contentment himself. Luckily, Toni is still around to challenge such backsliding.

Story
Der sowjetische Starkomponist Dmitri Dmitrijewitsch Schostakowitsch gehört zu den renommiertesten Komponisten seines Landes, als Stalin eines Abends der Aufführung einer seiner Opern beiwohnt und schon in der Pause den Saal verlässt. Schostakowitsch wartet ab diesem Abend Nacht für Nacht angezogen, auf seinen gepackten Koffern sitzend neben dem Aufzug seiner Wohnung, dass er verhaftet wird. Doch niemand kommt. Stattdessen feiert er Erfolge mit seiner Fünften Symphonie und wird wieder Liebling der Massen. Aber nun muss er sich ungewollter Privilegien erwehren, die mit der Vereinnahmung durch die Partei einhergehen.

Story
Tony Webster og hans klike var tre. Adrian Finn blev den fjerde. Skolen var en ren drengeskole. Sultne efter sex og bøger styrede de gennem gymnasietiden sammen udvekslede følelser jokes sladder og viden. Måske var Adrian mere seriøs end de andre; han var helt sikkert klogere. Men de fire lovede hinanden venskab for livet og skiltes. Studierne kalder. Tony bliver kæreste med Veronica. Vi er i tresserne. Den seksuelle revolution har ingen rigtig oplevet. Som Tony konstaterer: De fleste mennesker oplevede først tresserne i halvfjerdserne.

Story
Papegøjen i denne romans titel er en udstoppet fugl som den store franske forfatter Gustave Flaubert havde stående foran sig på sit skrivebord da han i 1870 erne skrev historien om en gammel tjenestepige. Hun lod sin højt elskede papegøje udstoppe da den var død og endte med at tro at den var Helligånden. Denne fugl spiller en afgørende rolle for romanens hovedperson. Geoffrey Braithwaite er pensioneret læge med et livsprojekt: Han vil vide alt om den store franske forfatter Gustave Flauberts liv.

Story
Året er 1936. Komponisten Dmitrij Sjostakovitj er 30 år. Han har valgt at blive i Sovjetunionen, men frygter i stigende grad for sit liv. Stalin er nemlig begyndt at interessere sig for den unge komponists værker og har udtalt sig kritisk om hans seneste opera. Sjostakovitj er overbevist om, at han vil blive sendt til Sibirien eller simpelthen skudt på stedet. Han må overveje, hvad hans muligheder er, men i stedet begynder hans egen historie at melde sig i tankerne: Hans forældre, forskellige kvinder, hans hustru, hans datter - de er nu alle i fare sammen med ham.
