What did Arthur Haley do so popular that it makes millions of people return to his works again and again?
Everything is simple: in all his books, he, as if under a microscope, studied the most diverse professional communities of people.
… Bank, hotel, airport, newspaper edition, hospital, plane, police station – Haley forces the reader to become one of the employees, one of the vehicles of the car that makes up a single whole.
His novels can be read for the sake of a fascinating acute plot – but the main thing is always people in them. People in the place of which each of us could be. Their reactions. Their passions, intrigues, their love and hatred, their egoism, courage are the will to life.
And each time, sitting down in the aircraft chair, registering or simply waiting for landing on a flight, we freely or involuntarily recall “on the verge of a disaster” and “airport” – two standard novels Haley.
