Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'Second Secretary' is a novel about ambiguity and uncertainty and how and why we curate our memories. Propped up in a bed in an end-of-life care facility in a suburb of Australia's capital city, Clive Livesey taps away at his laptop's keyboard. He is writing about his experiences as a diplomat in Tanzania in the early 1980s. The unvarnished narrative is part memoir and part travel guide and at its heart is Livesey's romantic involvement with Hermione Somercotes, who works in the commercial section of the British High Commission. Various confusing incidents suggest that there might be more to his lover than meets the eye but in Livesey's hazy account, which is marred by failing recall and the side-effects of medication, some possible explanations are never accepted. David Morisset is the pen name of an Australian writer who grew up in the Hawkesbury River District, northwest of Sydney. After roaming the world, first as a diplomat and later as an economist, he has published several novels as well as collections of short stories and poems. His poem, 'Persian Princess', was commended in the John Shaw Neilson Poetry Award (2009 Fellowship of Australian Writers National Literary Awards). This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Two exiled princes, one a gifted musician and the other an invincible warrior, set out from their hard-hearted father's prosperous realm. In a world of wonder outside conventional boundaries of time and place, they encounter hermits with magical powers, a capricious sea ogress, an alluring mermaid, patriotic princesses, wily astrologers, scheming courtiers, brutal pirates, and remarkable animals. Both princes are eventually presented with opportunities to become rulers of foreign lands threatened with invasion by warlike neighbouring principalities.The central storyline of 'And the Piper Played the Tune' is not a new one. It follows closely many aspects of Sunthorn Phu's epic poem about the exploits of Phra Aphai Mani - a masterpiece that occupies a prominent place in the pantheon of Thai literature. Sunthorn Phu's poem blends realistic incidents and events driven by unnatural forces, frequently in the context of hazardous sea voyages. Accordingly, the saga of Phra Aphai Mani has often been compared to Homer's Odyssey. 'And the Piper Played the Tune' is David Morisset's respectful attempt to make Sunthorn Phu's epic more widely known among English-speaking readers.David Morisset is the pen name of an Australian writer who grew up in the distinctive landscape of Sydney's semi-rural western fringe. Later, in the course of his work as a diplomat and an economist, he travelled widely in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, America and Oceania. He has published several novels as well as collections of poems and short stories. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This revised edition of 'Butchers Parade' includes some new material and minor corrections. Like the original version it adopts a perspective sometimes described as nostalgic realism. It unfolds like a series of black and white photographs depicting a patchwork past.Set in the third quarter of the twentieth century, most of the stories of 'Butchers Parade' take place in Redgate, a meatworks town in Australia's southeast. The narratives are united by the presence of Horrie, a young meatworker, who spends his spare time playing rugby league and drinking at the local pub. Horrie is conscripted to fight in Vietnam and, when he returns to Redgate, he struggles to shake off his distorted memories of war and finds himself caught up in a romance that seems hopeless.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'The New Settlement' is a dystopian fantasy set in a fictional Middle Eastern theocracy during the last years of the twenty-first century. Seven decades have gone by since a nuclear war turned parts of Shemesh's homeland into radioactive netherworlds. The narrative highlights humanity's defencelessness against religious extremism, corrupt governments, and the murderous overreach of state-sponsored brutality. Amid the toxic shambles there is a longing for the better days of a possibly imaginary past usually referred to as the times of kings and queens. David Morisset is an Australian writer and former diplomat who served in the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa. He has published several novels as well as collections of poems and short stories. His poem, 'Persian Princess', was commended in the John Shaw Neilson Poetry Award (Fellowship of Australian Writers National Literary Awards 2009). This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A beautiful Persian woman and a naive Western man are drawn together by love and desire in the rapidly changing Iran of the 1970s. But their romance is cut short when Manijeh and Ben are cruelly separated by family ties and cultural clashes. Just when all seems lost, violent revolution and political betrayal provide the incentive for them to start again, if they have the courage.In 2010 David Morisset published 'Conquest of the Persian Garden', a romantic thriller set in Iran at the time of the Islamic Revolution. 'Old Shemiran Road' is a thoroughly revised version of that novel. The central story remains loosely based on Ferdowsi's epic tale of 'Bijan and Manijeh', but various alterations have been made in the light of recent research and ongoing political ferment in the Middle East and West Asia.'Old Shemiran Road' takes the reader to revolutionary Tehran as the final months of the Shah's reign give way to a period of tumultuous upheavals while Iran's ruthless new leaders fortify the foundations for their rule of terror.
