The brilliant new novel from Lawrence Osborne - "a modern Graham Greene" (Sunday Times) - author of The Forgiven and The Ballad of a Small Player'A modern Graham Greene' Sunday TimesRobert Grieve - pushing thirty and eager to side-step a life of quiet desperation as a small-town teacher - decides to go missing.As he crosses the border from Thailand to Cambodia, he tests the threshold of a new future. And on that first night, a small windfall precipitates a chain of events involving a bag of 'jinxed' money, a suave American, a corrupt policeman and a rich doctor's daughter, in which Robert's life is changed forever.Alive with malice and grace, this is a taut tale reminiscent of the nightmares of Patricia Highsmith- a story of double identities, and innocence in the midst of evil, from a master of atmosphere and observation.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 'This voyage into culinary myth-making is essential reading. I couldn't love it more!' - Nigella Lawson'Enchanting, fascinating and humorous' - Claudia Roden'Reads like an engrossing unputdownable novel about the perpetual soup of humanity. And it made me think so much!' - Olia HerculesIn National Dish, award-winning food writer Anya von Bremzen sets out to investigate the eternal cliche that "we are what we eat". Her journey takes her from Paris to Tokyo, from Seville, Oaxaca and Naples to Istanbul. She probes the decline of France's pot-au-feu in the age of globalisation, the stratospheric rise of ramen, the legend of pizza, the postcolonial paradoxes of Mexico's mole, the community essence of tapas, and the complex legacy of multiculturalism in a meze feast. Finally she returns to her home in Queens, New York, for a bowl of Ukrainian borscht -a dish which has never felt more loaded, or more precious.As each nation's social and political identity is explored, so too is its palate. Rich in research, colourful? characters and lively wit, National Dish peels back the layers of myth and misunderstanding around world cuisines, reassessing the pivotal role of food in our cultural heritage and identity.Featuring an epilogue on Ukrainian borscht, recently granted World Heritage status by UNESCOFURTHER PRAISE FOR NATIONAL DISH'Anya is your perfect guide to the profound subjects of nationalism, food and identity.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -A veteran British journalist living in Hong Kong investigates the disappearance of a student protestor amidst the pro-democracy demonstrations in this unsettling new novel from the acclaimed author of The ForgivenThere came a sound of rubber bullets being fired along Java Road and the sad crowing of sirens as if to herald a future even more unpleasant than the present . . .After twenty years as a down-at-heel reporter in Hong Kong, ex-pat Englishman Adrian Gyle has very little to show for it. Evenings are whiled away with soupy dumplings and tea at Fung Shing, the restaurant downstairs from his home on Java Road, that 'most melancholy street in the city, the street where the dead congregated.' It is through these jaded eyes that Gyle watches the city around him - once overflowing with wine dinners and private members' clubs - erupt in violence as pro-democracy demonstrations threaten old certainties and hit ever closer to home.But just as Gyle prepares to turn his back on Hong Kong, he finds one last intrigue: the alluring Rebecca, the new girlfriend of one of his oldest friends, and a student involved in the protests. When her body mysteriously turns up in the local morgue, Gyle unearths that old familiar urge to investigate.As he pieces together Rebecca's final days and hours, Gyle must tread carefully through a volatile world of truth and betrayal. On Java Road is a search for a missing woman in a vanishing city, and a man between cultures, old worlds and new dawns. 240 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'Brilliant' SUNDAY TIMES'Compelling and unnerving' SPECTATORThis first collection of stories by Lawrence Osborne perfectly showcases his talent for tension, atmosphere - and characters out of their depthA naïve young linguist sent to the forests of Irian Jaya is manipulated into betraying her mission by a ruthless and disturbed pastor. A deaf girl hired as a maid by a wealthy New York couple turns the tables on her obliviously abusive employers and answers blackmail with blackmail. A psychiatrist treating a girl in rural England becomes ensnared in a love affair that threatens to destroy her career; while a young couple on holiday in Oman accidentally witness a killing, which leads to their being hunted as well. An entomologist at a remote hotel in the Andamans survives a tsunami and uses a dead body to further her study of ants.Collected here for the first time, Lawrence Osborne's stories, like his novels - 'elaborate and intricately plotted dances macabres' (The Times) - feel like nightmares set against calmly and meticulously observed backgrounds. With their nods to Daphne du Maurier and Roald Dahl, these nine long-form stories explore characters lost in the shadowed borders between the mundane, the fantastical and the violence of the natural world. 342 pp. Englisch.
