Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This is is a bitter-sweet comedy about a group of old people who decide to live together for company. Things don't go according to plan. The house they live in, The Graylings, belongs to Bernard, who suddenly dies, leaving everything to his daughter Sarah. Sarah is likely to evict the residents, so they decide to conceal the death. This sets off a train of disasters as they resort to increasingly desperate measures to prevent Sarah from discovering the facts. There is blackmail, violence, rage and sexual rivalry. The mafia get involved. The climax is macabre. 'The Commune' is a brilliant and hilarious exploration of the dark side of growing old, and a cautionary tale for those who, in the process, grow no wiser.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Realise, then," said the hog, "your unfathomableness with everything - your organic unfathomableness." With that, the sty fell silent. So begins this capering odyssey for hog and human, weaving a way through different dimensions on a mysterious quest. Leading to cell-like empyreans, the enigmatic I'-lak, Consumer Megamagnet, and otherworldly others, the journey could at first seem a wanton jungle of metaphor. Yet as the tale unfolds, readers may be led to 'unfoldings' of their own - to find themselves on a uniquely personal ride at the crux of the universal. This cosmic Gulliver's Travels or impish Book of the Dead is funny and unpredictable, with a challenging narrative that supports integral learning. Subtly potent, riddled with reflections of the psychological, quantal and ecological, the book variously explores the dynamics of the 'wirings' under the worldly boards. To the rooter for truth, through whatever domains one might be navigating, the hog may prove itself an invaluable companion. Ultimately it is up to the reader. Whatever way you take The Hog's Wholey Wash - spoof or multi-level cryptograph; annoyance, bracer or salve - there are always other ways it can be taken.It's time to find your inner 'trotter' and take a journey through the known and unknown. "Realise then," said the hog, "your unfathomableness with everything - your organic unfathomableness". With that, the sty fell silent. So begins this capering odyssey for hog and human (along with a cast of most unusual life-forms) on a phenomenal and phenomenological ride through the cosmos.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Dr Leo Springfield is a disillusioned Labour MP facing a world of trouble both personally and professionally. With his seat (and the government itself) under threat in a looming election, he faces the wrath of his own party and that of the media when 2 million pounds go missing from a charity of which he is a trustee. Springfield endeavours to track down a vanished co-trustee - a fellow MP - to recover the money and his quest takes him to Italy where matters do not turn out as anticipated. Along the way he must navigate between choleric Whips, a randy policewoman, a nosy journalist, a crooked property magnate, an eccentric Italian private eye and a sometimes wilful Golden retriever, Boothroyd. 'Missing Member' is a shrewd farce of politics, the media, sexual attraction, fraud and grievous bodily harm; and of those in and around the mother of Parliaments. Comic novel about modern political life set in London and Pisa. MP Leo Springfield endeavours to recover GBP2 million stolen from a charity of which he is an Trustee. A fellow Trustee and MP has gone missing. His quest is dogged by intrusive media types, a crooked property developer, an amorous policewoman and the obstinacy of the missing member.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. First published in 1941 to considerable acclaim, this is a classic account of the last days of peace in Europe before the outbreak of the Second World War. William Russell was a young American diplomat working at the US Embassy, in Hermann Goering Strasse, during the grim days of 1939 just prior to and after Germany's invasion of Poland. He had studied in Germany before joining his country's diplomatic corps, so both his knowledge of history and considerable linguistic skills would enable him to gain a unique experience of one of the most momentous periods in world history. And he does not miss any opportunity to write a totally absorbing account of both the horror and the farce which so often accompanies such epic times. This quite remarkable account deserves to find a whole new readership, revealing as it does, in intimate detail, a time when American diplomacy was forced to handle a Europe fast falling into an abyss of nightmares.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In March 2012, eccentric antiques dealer Raymond Scott was found dead in his prison cell, apparently after having cut his own throat. It was the final tragic act in one of the most bizarre criminal cases ever held in England. The story begins in 1998 after a rare copy of a Shakespeare First Folio was stolen from Durham University just 10 miles from where Scott lived. For a decade the authorities had been stumped as to what had happened to it until Raymond Scott strolled into the famous Folger Library in Washington DC to have it authenticated for sale. Printed in 1623, the First Folio is widely regarded as the most important non-secular printed book in the English language and one in pristine condition (like the Durham copy had been when stolen) could be worth millions. The flamboyantly-attired Scott had a taste for Ferraris and Lamborghinis yet had spent most of his time living with his aged mother, Hannah, on social security payments in a modest home in Washington, Tyne on Wear. Scott, 55 when he died, wanted the money from selling the First Folio to live the high life with his beautiful 21-year-old Cuban dancer girlfriend he met during frequent trips to Havana.In one of the many strange twists, he claimed he obtained the book from a friend in Cuba who was a former bodyguard to President Fidel Castro. Scott, who never took the stand, was eventually jailed for eight years for handling stolen goods but was cleared of stealing the First Folio. For 18 months, from just after his arrest to his death, Scott conducted a series of interviews with reporter Mike Kelly during which never heard before evidence was revealed including the naming of an alleged second suspect. Even after Scott was jailed they kept in touch via frequent correspondence. Shakespeare & Love reveals the true story behind the theft of the Durham Shakespeare First Folio and uncovers for the first time the man dubbed by the press as 'Bling Lear'. In March 2012, eccentric antiques dealer Raymond Scott was found dead in his prison cell, apparently after having cut his own throat. It was the final tragic act in one of the most bizarre criminal cases ever held in England - concerning the theft of a Shakespeare First Folio.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. 'I am writing this for you Saleem. I am writing about us, about how I loved you, and how I killed you.' As Avi Goldberg, the son of a Jewish pioneer, sits at a desk in a dark cell in a military prison in the Negev desert, he fills the long nights writing about his friend Saleem, an Israeli Arab he befriended on a beach one scorching July day, and the story of Saleem's family, whose loss of their Ancestral home in 1948 cast a long shadow over their lives. Avi and Saleem understand about the past: they believe it can be buried, reduced to nothing. But then September 2000 comes and war breaks out - endless, unforgiving and filled with loss. And in the midst of the Intifada, which rips their peoples apart, they both learn that war devours everything, that even seemingly insignificant, utterly mundane, things get lost in war and that, sometimes, if you do not speak of these things, they are lost to you forever. Set amongst the white chalk Galilee Mountains and the hostile desert terrain of the Negev Desert, the inbetween people is a story of longing that deals with hatred, forgiveness, and the search for redemption.The haunting poetic tone is not unlike that of Ben Okri's 'The Famished Road', whilst the themes examined are similar to those dealt with by Pat Barker in 'The Ghost Road'. The simplicity of the tone is unflinching throughout, and depicts the eternal search for a home and a sense of place. As Avi Goldberg sits at a desk in a dark cell in a military prison in the Negev desert, he fills the long nights writing about his friend Saleem, an Israeli Arab,and the story of Saleem's family, whose loss of their Ancestral home in 1948 cast a long shadow over their Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Originally published in 1960 by Peter Owen, The Hooligan is a masterful psychological exploration of the making of a Nazi. Andreas Febler, the Head Clerk of the Town Council struggles with his own inadequacies and guilt. He is seduced by the beyond-good-and-evil preachings of the Lumpenhunde (lower-class ruffians) and eventually becomes the deputy commandant of a concentration camp. Rich in symbolism and written in a unique English style, the novel challenges and compels the reader to profoundly experience the phantasmagorical psyche of Andreas Febler. The Hooligan details the physical and psychological construction of a concentration camp, but, in a literary masterstroke, omits the war years to plum the bitter harvest of the immediate post-war period.
