Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Brookes, a British army captain, awakes after being wounded in the mountains of Italy to find himself a guest of the baron of Castelmantia in his remote castle. He can remember the ambush by Mussolini's fascists, the panic of the rebels, the bloodshed, and being struck by a bullet. And there are other things toothings he'd rather not remember. Instead, he turns his attention to the castle and its strange inhabitants, a family of four a couple, their daughter and young son who both intrigue and repel him. As winter locks them into the castle and the conflict escalates beyond their walls, Brookes finds himself drawn into the mystery at the heart of the family, determined to understand the game they seem to be playing. Who are they really? Why do they live alone in that bleak, decaying place? What do they want from him? AUTHOR: Ian Breckon lives in Bath. His second novel All the Stars Electric Bright, will be published by Old Street in late 2010.

paperback. Condizione: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A drama of love, art and divided loyalties, set against the violent background of Fascist Italy May 10th, 1930. Emilio, Arturo, and Nina, the woman they both love, speed through the Italian hills en route to a glamorous and exclusive Futuristic dinner party, at which the great Marinetti will be the guest of honour. The two men, young painters whose rivalry simmers beneath the surface of their friendship, hope the evening will launch glittering careers. Yet success in a Fascist State will force impossible choices on them both. Arturo must choose between his gnawing ambition and his love for Nina. Emilio, haunted by his last visit to his elderly uncle hospitalised after being brutally beaten up for his political views must decide whether he can live with himself if he yields to the blandishments of success. For Nina, the stakes are even higher. Her husband Amedeo disappeared a year earlier: rumours still circulate that he was involved in a plot against Mussolini. And at the party there is a mysterious guest a man highly placed within the regime, who she fears has good reason to wish her harm. Against the stunning background of the Italian Alps and an extraordinary meal that is a work of art in itself, the evening ticks inexorably towards an explosive and unpredictable climax. AUTHOR: Ian Breckon lives in Bath. His first novel, Knight of the Swords, was published by Old Street in 2009. Italy, 1930: Emilio and Arturo are two young painters whose rivalry simmers beneath the surface of their friendship. Hopeful of launching glittering careers at an exclusive dinner party, the pair will soon discover that success in a Fascist state only comes with some very difficult choices.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. A story of faith, fanaticism, and the uncanny power of the imagination. The dawn of the Victorian era: the world is changing rapidly. Poverty and the workhouse cast long shadows across rural England, and a traditional way of life is coming to an end. In the villages and fields of Kent, the discontented find an unlikely champion in John Nicholls Tom. Calling himself 'Sir William Courtenay', he appears to the local magistrates and gentry as a madman, a charlatan, or a dangerous radical. But for the labouring people he is the New Messiah, come to lead them in a revolt against the forces of oppression, and to herald the end of the world. But equality and wealth redistribution are dangerous ideas, and in May 1838 Tom's crusade ignites into bloody violence. The confrontation that follows will shock the country, and become known as the last battle ever fought on English soil. Mad Tom's Rising presents an alternative vision of early Victorian England, as a place of mystical religious faith, riot and disturbance, surveillance and insecurity, arson and uproar. Drawing on original sources, it reconstructs the strange and astonishing events of that time, and the lives and experiences of those forever marked by them. AUTHOR: Ian Breckon was born and grew up in England, and currently lives in the West Country. He has worked as a novelist, teacher, university lecturer and historical researcher. Mad Tom's Rising is his first non-fiction history book. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
