It is a novel about a whole world and a great lost people. It is a book of knowledge. It is all about the present and sometimes about the future, which is why it begins eleven hundred years ago. It is about three great (and unruly) wise men~one Christian, one Jewish, one Moslem~whose disputes about the way the world should be are never done. It's a mystery wrapped in bedazzling philosophy. It's an Arabian Nights romance wrapped in a mystery. It's several murder stories wrapped in a romance. It's an illumination wrapped in secrets. It's a wickedly teasing intellectual game and an astonishing adventure. Its most wonderful characters disappear, only to return in the most impenetrable disguises. It is visited by several devils. And vampires. And a sect of priests who pursue their opponents in their sleep, for they are Dream Hunters. It comes in two versions, one male and one female, which differ only by fifteen (crucial) lines. Readers may choose whichever edition they prefer as their passport: their journey through the world of the Khazars will be different depending on their choice. Either way, all those who yearn to lose themselves in' a novel of love and death and adventure of almost cosmic possibilities should take Mr. Pavic's Dictionary in hand and plunge in. They will be entranced. Milorad Pavic was born in Belgrade. in 1929. He is professor of literary history at the University of Belgrade and is one of Yugoslavia's most acclaimed poets. Dictionary of the Khazars is his first full~length novel. Translated from the Serbo~Croatian by Christina Pribicevic~Zoric.

Here then, from the well thumbed pages of "Black Mask" and "Dime Detective Magazine", are eight of his finest stories. Sharper than a hoodlum's switchblade, more exciting than an unexpected redhead and stronger than a double shot of whisky, they are packed full of the punchy poetry and laconic wit that makes Chandler the undisputed master of his genre.

Decorated boards, no jacket as issued. Some edge wear and rubbing to top and bottom of covers and spine, nasty dirty fingerprints and some spotting to front and back covers, page fore edges and endpapers, corners rubbed and bruised, yellowing and damp cockling to page block, no inscriptions, internally fairly clean and tight, looks as if this book has accompanied its previous owner on several journeys through the woods in wind and rain! Not a great copy, reading only. 391pp, illustrated. From the walnut tree at his Suffolk home, Roger Deakin embarks upon a quest that takes him through Britain, across Europe, to Central Asia and Australia, in search of what lies behind man's profound and enduring connection with wood and with trees. Meeting woodlanders of all kinds, he lives in shacks and cabins, builds hazel benders, and hunts bush plums with aboriginal women. At once autobiography, history, a traveller's tale and a work of natural history, Wildwood is a lyrical and fiercely intimate evocation of the spirit of trees, in nature, in our souls, in our culture, and in our lives. Roger Deakin (1943-2006), kept notebooks in which he wrote his daily thoughts, impressions, feelings and observations. Discursive, personal and often impassioned, they reveal the way he saw the world, whether it be observing the teeming ecosystem that was Walnut Tree Farm, thinking about the wider environment, walking in his fields, on Mellis Common or on his travels at home, or contemplating his past and his present life. Quite a scarce book, even in this compromised condition!.

Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, not price clipped (£16.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy. 441pp. Exiled from life elsewhere, a former writer is the narrator of Paul Theroux's first novel since KOWLOON TONG. Newly married and having recently taken over the management of a hotel in Honolulu, he is drawn into the chaotic lives of his guests and into the distinctive customs and rhythms of the distant island. As witness to the many contrasting, and often ribald, chronicles of the hotel's characters, he ultimately finds personal salvation through returning to writing once again. The result is this novel in eighty distinct episodes, a Chaucerian sequence of strange pilgrims and just as strange islanders confronting each other, and their fate, in the rooms of the seedy hotel.
