Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. THE TOP TEN SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERAmorys first memory is of her father doing a handstand. She has memories of him returning on leave during the First World War. But his absences, both actual and emotional, are what she chiefly remembers. It is her photographer uncle Greville who supplies the em…otional bond she needs, and, when he gives her a camera and some rudimentary lessons in photography, unleashes a passion that will irrevocably shape her future. A spell at boarding school ends abruptly and Amory begins an apprenticeship with Greville in London, living in his flat in Kensington, earning two pounds a week photographing socialites for fashionable magazines. But Amory is hungry for more and her search for life, love and artistic expression will take her to the demi monde of Berlin of the late 1920s, to New York of the 1930s, to the Blackshirt riots in London and to France in the Second World War where she becomes one of the first women war photographers. Her desire for experience will lead Amory to further wars, to lovers, husbands and children as she continues to pursue her dreams and battle her demons. In this enthralling story of a life fully lived, William Boyd has created a sweeping panorama of some of the most defining moments of modern history, told through the camera lens of one unforgettable woman, Amory Clay. It is his greatest achievement to date. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Sitting in the waiting room he is anxiously pondering the particularly intimate nature of his…neurosis when a young woman enters. She is clearly in distress, but Lysander is immediately drawn to her strange, hazel eyes and her unusual, intense beauty.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The infamous literary prank that fooled a legion of art critics in the 1990sArtist Nathwell Tate was born in 1928 in Union Beach, New Jersey. On January 8 1960 he contrived to round up and burn almost his entire output of Abstract Expressionism. Four days later he killed himself. This book offer…s an account of Tate's life and work.--- When William Boyd published his biography of New York modern artist Nat Tate, a huge reception of critics and artists arrived for the launch party, hosted by David Bowie, to toast the late artist's life. Little did they know that the painter Nat Tate, a depressive genius who burned almost all his output before his suicide, never existed. The book was a hoax, and the art world had fallen for it. Nat Tate is a work of art unto itself - an investigation of the blurry line between the invented and the authentic, and a thoughtful tour through the spirited and occasionally ludicrous American art scene of the 1950s. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Rústica. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Nuevo. 01. La amenaza de quienes viven día a día atisbando a un perseguidor persistente e implacable. En 1939 una joven de origen ruso era reclutada por los Servicios Secretos Británicos. Treinta y siete años después esta misma mujer le hace entrega a su hija Ruth del primer ca…pítulo de su historia secreta. La vida de Eva Delectorskaya es un relato de espionaje y contraespionaje que revela un oscuro episodio de las relaciones entre Inglaterra y Estados Unidos. Ruth irá descubriendo que su madre ha vivido por y para el engaño y que, años después, aquella joven que jugó un papel decisivo en la historia europea sigue existiendo dentro de ella, tan alerta y recelosa como siempre. Sin respiro es una tensa, minuciosa y deslumbrante novela de espionaje en la que William Boyd nos sumerge en la naturaleza del miedo, de la mentira y la traición, en un mundo que ofrece como única alternativa la desconfianza. La ficción británica contiene la rica tradición del thriller literario, desde Wilkie Collins, pasando por Graham Greene hasta John Le Carré, y William Boyd, con su nueva novela Sin respiro se asienta firmemente en ella. Times Literary Supplement Boyd ha escrito un muy buen relato. Con su voz característica -sobria y elegante- explora la verdadera idea del espionaje. Boyd es sin duda uno de los más importantes novelistas británicos contemporáneos. San Francisco Chronicle . Un thriller de espionaje elegantemente escrito sobre un fascinante y en gran parte oculto episodio de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos e Inglaterra. The Washington Post William Boyd busca, de la forma más directa y clara posible, conectar con ese tipo de lector que añora ciertos tiempos en que los narradores se dedicaban a contar y visualizar, a divertir y entretener.
