Then the main suspect is released thanks to the testimony of selfstyled pillars of the community like the doctor who treated Richard's father on his deathbed. Richard, determined to unravel the mystery, starts to believe that something deeply sinister lurks behind the pristine facades of the labyrinthine mall, its 24hour cable TV and sports club… Fourth Estate 9780007232475 0007232470 Contributor Bio Pub Date: 9/16/2014 J.

Summary From the author of The Sunday Times bestseller Cocaine Nights the story of suburban London transformed into an exotic dreamworld.
When a light aircraft crashes into the Thames at Shepperton, the young pilot who struggles to the surface minutes later seems to have come back from the dead. Within hours everything in the dormitory suburb is surreally transformed into a reality more akin to a dreamscape. Vultures invade the rooftops, luxuriant tropical vegetation overruns the quiet avenues, and the local inhabitants are propelled by the young man's urgent visions through ecstatic sexual celebrations towards an apocalyptic climax.
In this characteristically inventive novel Ballard displays to devastating effect the extraordinary imagination that established him as one of Britain's most highly acclaimed writers.

Then he encounters Robert Vaughan, a former TV scientist turned nightmare angel of the expressway, who has gathered around him a collection of alienated crash victims and experiments with a series of autoerotic atrocities, each more sinister than the last. But Vaughan craves the ultimate crash a headon collision of blood, semen, engine coolant and iconic celebrity.

Summary Violent rebellion comes to London's middle classes in the extraordinary new novel from the author of Cocaine Nights and SuperCannes.

However as civic responsibility and the trappings of consumer society are jettisoned the movement grows steadily more bellicose and Markham is increasingly lured by the idea of revolution and terror.

Seeking his sanity, he casts himself in a number of roles: Hbomber pilot, presidential assassin, crash victim, psychopath. Finally, through the black, perverse magic of violence he transcends his psychic turmoil to find the key to a bizarre new sexuality.

Key Selling Points From Harper UK The book is already published in Spain to great acclaim.

The life of the complex, ruthless adversary of General Franco, whose life spanned much of Spain’s turbulent 20th century. Summary From 1939 to 1975, the Spanish Communist Party, effectively lead for two decades by Santiago Carrillo, was the most determined opponent of General Franco’s Nationalist regime. Admired by many on the left as a revolutionary and a pillar of the antiFranco struggle, and hated by others as a Stalinist gravedigger of the revolution, Santiago Carrillo was arguably the dictator’s most consistent leftwing enemy.For many on the right, Carrillo was a monster to be vilified as a mass murderer for his activities during the Civil War.

Summary Aristocrat, literary celebrity, 'Rose Queen', devoted wife, lesbian, recluse, iconoclast Vita Sackville West was many things, but she was never straightforward. Her life is re told here in a dazzling new biography.
In this stunning new biography of Vita SackvilleWest, Matthew Dennison traces the triumph and contradictions of Vita's extraordinary life. His narrative charts a fascinating course from Vita's lonely childhood at Knole, through her affectionate but 'open' marriage to Harold Nicolson (during which both husband and wife energetically pursued homosexual affairs, Vita most famously with Virginia Woolf), and through Vita's literary successes and disappointments, to the famous gardens the couple created at Sissinghurst.
The book tells how, from her privileged world of the aristocracy, SackvilleWest brought her penchant for costume, playacting and rebellion to the artistic vanguard of modern Britain.

Quotes Praise for 'Queen Victoria':
'Sometimes caustic about her stubbornness and passions, often admiring of her frankness and honesty, Dennison's Queen Victoria sweeps us through the monarch's long and colourful life at a collected canter. He draws on imagery of her reign, including portraits of her with John Brown, to startlingly good effect, making us see with new eyes the lone young queen, later the Widow of Windsor and, in a final role, Grandmama of Europe' Flora Fraser
'Matthew Dennison has pulled off a tremendous coup in writing a short and concise book, encapsulating Victoria's life in 152 small pages. Short books can sometimes be superficial overviews, but this one has the confidence of considerable research, well digested and well delivered… For anyone approaching Queen Victoria for the first time, this is perfect' Hugo Vickers, Times
'This illuminating book gives us Victoria in deliberately bitesized chunks … Dennison's dry wit and concise analysis bring new life to a monarch we all thought we knew' Daily Express Comp Titles No comparable titles have been specified.

Summary A magnificent and timely examination of an age of fear, subversion, suppression and espionage, Adam Zamoyski explores the attempts of the governments of Europe to police the world in a struggle against obscure forces, seemingly dedicated to the overthrow of civilisation.
The advent of the French Revolution confirmed the worst fears of the rulers of Europe they saw their states as stormtossed vessels battered by terrible waves coming from every quarter and threatened by horrific monsters from the deep. Rulers' nerves were further unsettled by the voices of the Enlightenment, envisaging improvement only through a radical transformation of existing structures, with undeniable implications for the future role of the monarchy and the Church.
Napoleon's arrival on the European stage intensified these fears, and the changes he wrought across Europe fully justified them. Yet he also brought some comfort to those rulers who managed to survive: he had tamed the revolution in France and the
hegemony he exercised over Europe was a kind of guarantee against subversion. Once William Collins Napoleon was toppled, the monarchs of Europe took over this role for themselves. 9780007282760 0007282761 Pub Date: 11/4/2014 However, the nature of their attempts to impose order were not only ineffectual, they On Sale Date: 11/4/2014 also managed to simultaneously weaken the bases of that order.

Summary A unique companion to The Lord of the Rings which relates the textual history of the Nation's Favourite Read; with a previously unpublished Guide to the Names in The Lord of the Rings, written by Tolkien himself.
In The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion internationally acclaimed scholars Wayne G. Hammond and Christina Scull examine Tolkien's masterpiece chapter by chapter, offering expert insights into its evolution, structure, and meaning. They discuss in close detail important literary and historical influences on the development of The Lord of the Rings, connections between that work and other writings by Tolkien, errors and inconsistencies, significant changes to the text during its fifty years of publication, archaic and unusual words used by Tolkien, and words and passages in his invented languages of Middleearth. Thousands of notes, keyed to standard editions of The Lord of the Rings but universally accessible, reveal the richness and complexity of one of the most popular works of fiction in our time.
In addition to their own expertise and that of other scholars and critics, Hammond and
Scull frequently draw upon comments by Tolkien himself, made in letters to family, HarperCollins friends, and enthusiasts, in draft texts of The Lord of the Rings, and in works written in 9780007556908 later years which amplify or illuminate characters and events in the story.

The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937.

Summary This sumptuous gift set contains a replica of the very rare first edition of The Hobbit, plus a book about the books's publication history and a CD of previously unreleased archive recordings featuring J.R.R. Tolkien reading from his book.
The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937 with a print run of 1,500 copies. With a beautiful cover design by the author and a coloured frontispiece painting, the book proved to be popular and was reprinted within three months, and history was already being made.
The scarcity of the first edition has resulted in copies commanding huge prices, way beyond the reach of most Tolkien fans. In addition, subsequent changes to the text particularly those to chapter five when Tolkien decided to expand the text to marry it up to events in The Lord of the Rings mean that the opportunity to read the book in its original form and format has become quite difficult.
