Tuntumaid armastusromaane maailmakirjanduses üldse. Seesugust armastust kui selles teoses kohtab elus harva. «Manon Lescaut» on inspireerinud näiteks niisugused loojaid nagu Massene'd ja Puccinit.

Saatus viis nad pika aja järel uuesti kokku. Mõlemale olid möödunud aastad täis purunenud lootusi ja pettumusi, igatsust selle järele, mis kunagi päikeselistel augustipäevadel kauge Vermonti järve kaldal nende südames tärkas.Nüüd, aastaid hiljem tuleb neil riskida, et pärast kõiki katsumusi täiel rinnal tunnetada uuesti leitud armastuse ilu ja jõudu.

A doctor who obsessively cleans. Young gay lovers seeking refuge in the sanctuary cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Estranged brothers planning ten terrorist attacks to free their people from...

2001. aastal ilmus Jaan Krossi viimane romaan «Tahtamaa», mis räägib maa tagastamisest õigusjärgsele omanikule 1990. aastate alguses ja erineb Krossi teistest romaanidest selle poolest, et see ei põhine mitte ajaloolisel uurimustööl, vaid inimkogemusel. Enne «Tahtamaad» kirjutas Kross 1990. aastatel veel viis romaani: «Väljakaevamised» (1990), «Tabamatus» (1993), «Mesmeri ring» (1995) ja «Paigallend» (1998).

Dit is die jaar 1901. Die son het gesak oor ’n verskroeide landskap, en die landskap verwelkom die duister. Die doringdraad en tentrye van die konsentrasiekamp is nog net ’n swart vlek op die vlakte. En aan die rand hiervan gloei ’n tent soos ’n lantern. Diegene wat vanuit die duister na hierdie tent sou staar, sou teen die helder tentdoek die silhoeët sien van ’n man wat oor die klawerbord van ’n klavier buig. Die een wat vanuit die nag sou kyk, sou ook op die kampbed die regop gestalte van ’n...
