Imprint: St. Martin's Griffin, 2005 A clever and cunning modern day retelling of the adored Jane Austen novel "Tall, dark, and arrogantly handsome --not to mention distinguished, powerful, and rolling in money. Mr. Darcy? No, that's just the woman director of Pride and Prejudice," reports Nicholas Llewellyn Bevan, impoverished novelist and occasional (reluctant) journalist, when a TV production company trundles into his sleepy North Yorkshire valley. Amusedly he watches these glamorous invaders combine the filming of Jane Austen's romantic classic with the much less modest pursuit, off-camera, of real-life romances with the locals. Under his very nose, his bashful handsome neighbor John is plucked out of a village dance by the famously gorgeous (and wealthy) leading actress, Candia Bingham, with whom he at once falls completely in love. Our would-be hero manages only to trip over the black-booted foot of the intimidating and imperious director, Mary Dance. So he's amazed---and a little bit alarmed -when her steely eye seems to be straying his way. A witty and entertaining update on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Austen fans old and new will adore Vanity and Vexation's modern take on her sublime blueprint of the romance game complete with sex, money, and power. With an assured and respectful hand, in the context of the contemporary world, Kate Fenton has penned a riveting story with a hilarious twist.. Book. Book Condition: As New.

The unpleasant discovery leads Neville and Priscilla to think twice about their plan to celebrate the happiest day of their lives with their family and dearest friends in such a lonely place. Can the talk of a centuries-old curse upon the Hathaways possibly be true? An unquiet spirit is stirring up all kinds of trouble, and timid Aunt Cordelia begs Priscilla to leave with the children and never return. But Priscilla vows to remain by Neville's side, come what may. No mere ghost could be stronger than their love...though this one is beginning to sound all too real.... Book.

Imprint: London, John Murray, 2010 Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011) was a war hero whose exploits in Crete are legendary, and above all he is widely acclaimed as the greatest travel writer of our times, notably for his books about his walk across pre-war Europe, A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water; he was a self-educated polymath, a lover of Greece and the best company in the world. Artemis Cooper has drawn on years of interviews and conversations with Paddy and his closest friends as well as having complete access to his archives. Her beautifully crafted biography portrays a man of extraordinary gifts - no one wore their learning so playfully, nor inspired such passionate friendship. 448 pp.. Book. Book Condition: New.

Here, among people as fiercely independent as those of the Mani peninsula, the remarkable Patrick Fermor lived the life of the people, joining the wedding guests, journeying to the cloud-high monasteries, learning the tricks of the professional beggars. Recalling this remote and ardent world, Mr. Fermor explores the very heart of the Greek temperament.with the unfailing gaiety, sympathy, and curiosity which make him one of the best travel writers of our time." 248p.map.Index.

Imprint: London, John Murray, 2013 In the winter of 1933 eighteen-year-old Patrick Leigh Fermor set out to walk across Europe, starting in Holland and ending in Constantinople, a trip that took him the better part of a year. Decades later, when he was well over fifty, Leigh Fermor told the story of that life-changing journey in A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water, two works now celebrated as among the most vivid, absorbing, delightful, and beautifully-written travel books of all time.The Broken Road is the long and avidly awaited account of the final leg of his youthful adventure that Leigh Fermor promised but was unable to finish before his death in 2011. Assembled from Leigh Fermor's manuscripts by his prize-winning biographer Artemis Cooper and the travel writer Colin Thubron, this is perhaps the most personal of all Leigh Fermor's books, catching up with young Paddy in the fall of 1934 and following him through Bulgaria and Romania to the coast of the Black Sea. Days and nights on the road, spectacular landscapes and uncanny cities, friendships lost and found, leading the high life in Bucharest or camping out with fishermen and shepherds: in the The Broken Road such incidents and escapades are described with all the linguistic bravura, odd and astonishing learning, and overflowing exuberance that Leigh Fermor is famous for, but also with a melancholy awareness of the passage of time, especially when he meditates on the scarred history of the Balkans or on his troubled relations with his father. The book ends, perfectly, with Paddy's diary from the winter of 1934, when he had reached Greece, the country he would fall in love with and fight for. Across the space of three quarters of century we can still hear the ringing voice of an irrepressible young man embarking on a life of adventure. 384p. Paper age toned. else as new.

Imprint: London, John Murray, 2014 A Time of Gifts and Between the Woods and the Water were the first two volumes in a projected trilogy that would describe the walk that Patrick Leigh Fermor undertook at the age of eighteen from the Hook of Holland to Constantinople. 'When are you going to finish Vol. III ' was the cry from his fans; but although he wished he could, the words refused to come. The curious thing was that he had not only written an early draft of the last part of the walk, but that it predated the other two. It remains unfinished but The Broken Road - edited and introduced by Colin Thubron and Artemis Cooper - completes an extraordinary journey.362p.. Illustr.: Edited Colin Thubron & Artemis Cooper.

Imprint: Sao Paolo, Magno Fernandes, 2000 Suspense beginning in the last days of World War II with the involvement of the dictator of a Caribbean country and an American soldier, for the opening of a Bank in the United States of America, with the purpose of being the destination of fortunes plundered in the war and in countries governed by dictators and corrupt politicians, the main financiers of this enterprise. It continues with mysterious murders and disappearances of young women in the year 1996. In that same year, the death of Ava M. Stempton, a young doctor and fiancé of the New York billionaire Peter Mc'Ireland, intensified. It follows a financial crime, characterized by the transfer of $ 600,000,000 from a Bank of New York to a tax haven, and by the action of fanatic followers of ancient Greek sects, worshiping their gods with rituals involving human sacrifices . Like pieces of a puzzle, these strange happenings will fit together and weave an intricate plot, forcing Peter out of his conventional world and into another, unknown and uncertain parallel where violence, despair and dread would be the only signs to indicate it's the way to try to unravel its unexpected and mysterious drama.
