Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Discovered after his death, in 2003, Bolano left this novel complete as a typewritten manuscript - meticulously corrected by hand - it is published in English translation for the first time. Udo Berger, aspiring writer and wargames champion of Stuttgart, decides it is time to take his new love, Ingeborg, on holiday to the Costa Brava. He brings along his new game, The Third Reich, which he plans to practice for the upcoming wargames tournament in Paris, where he will finally meet the sleek American champion, Rex Douglas. However, things take a sinister turn when some shady locals arrive on the scene and one of Udo's friends disappears. Pursued by a shadowy detective who visits his nightmares in quest for the truth; the surrealistic landscape of the Costa Brava and his increasingly feverish dreams draw him further into delirium. Finally, he finds himself locked in mortal combat when he engages in a game of Third Reich with the enigmatic and disfigured El Quemado - a foreginer who lives in a Kafkaesque burrow on the beach. Unpublished in any language during Bolano's lifetime, this story of one man's journey into nightmare will make a welcome addition to this author's already astonishing oevre.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Rife with political corruption, sex, jealousy and frustrated passion, The Skating Rink is a darkly atmospheric chronicle of one summer season in the seaside town of Z, on the Costa Brava, north of Barcelona. The story revolves around the beautiful figure skating champion Nuria Marti. When she is suddenly dropped from the Olympic team a besotted admirer builds a secret ice rink for her in the ruins of an old mansion on the outskirts of town. What he doesn't tell her is that he paid for it using embezzled public funds; but such a betrayal is only the beginning and the skating rink soon becomes a crime scene .Told in short suspenseful chapters by three alternating male narrators -- a corrupt and pompous civil servant, a beleaguered, yet still romantic, itinerant poet, and a duplicitous local entrepreneur -- The Skating Rink is a wholly engrossing tale of murder and its motives. 'This short exquisite novel .manages to honor genre conventions while simultaneously exploding them, creating a work of intense and unrealized longing.' New York Times 'Bolano writes with such elegance, verve and style and is immensely readable' Guardian 'His fiction was hallucinatory, haunting and experimental' Times Literary Supplement 'Bolano has come close to re-imagining the novel' Independent 'His work is as vital, thrilling and life-enhancing as anything in modern fiction' Sunday Times 'Bolano has proved [literature] can do anything' Scotsman '[Bolano] made each book more ambitious so that it will take us many years to come to terms with his vast achievement' Colm Toibin 'He has the natural storyteller's gift -- but more important, he has the power to lend an extraordinary glamour to the activities of making love and making poetry' Edmund White 'Bolano was one of those rare writers who write for a future time, and we, especially we in the Anglophone world, have only begun to appreciate his strange, oblique genius' John Banville 'Readers who have snacked on a writer such as Haruki Murakami will feast on Roberto Bolano' Sunday Times 'It's no exaggeration to call Bolano a genius' Washington Post 'Bolano makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of vision on the world' Guardian.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Written with burning intensity in the last years of Roberto Bolano's life, 2666 has been hailed across the world as the great writer's masterpiece, surpassing everything in imagination, beauty and scope. It is a novel on an astonishing scale from a passionate visionary.Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border: an urban sprawl that draws lost souls to it like a vortex.

As in the real town of Juarez, on which Santa Teresa is based, girls and women are disappearing at an alarming rate . . .
