1st Paperback Edition. Very good paperback copy; edges slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall. Physical description: 195 pages; 20 cm. Notes: Originally published: Great Britain: Jonathan Cape Ltd., 1986. Summary: A fighter pilot, high above the English Channel in 1941, watches the sun rise; he descends 10,000 feet and then, to his amazement, finds the sun beginning to rise again. With this haunting image Julian Barnes' novel begins.

8°, paperback edition. Condizione: Gut. 124 pages, text in English, illustrated cover, book edges slightly browned due to age and paper, good condition for its age, The Comfort of Strangers is a 1981 novel by British writer Ian McEwan. It is his second novel, and is set in an unnamed city (though the detailed description strongly suggests Venice). Mary and Colin are an English couple on holiday abroad in an unnamed city. Mary is divorced with two children; Colin is her angelically handsome lover who has been with her for seven years. Although they do not usually live together, their relationship is deep, passionate and intimate, but they seem to be bored. One evening, the couple gets lost among the canals and is befriended by a forceful native named Robert, who takes them to a bar. Later, he insists on bringing them to his house where they meet his wife Caroline. Although the guests are at first shown great hospitality, it becomes clear that the hosts have a peculiar relationship with each other Robert is the product of a sadistic upbringing and Caroline, who is disabled, has an uncomfortable masochistic view of men as being masters to whom women should yield.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. 1st Edition. This is a fantastic addition to your historical inventory. Stanley Loomis's Paris in the Terror: June 1793-July 1794 is widely considered a narrative masterpiece of popular history. First published by J.B.

First Edition.pp. xvi + 447. Black and white photographs and index, uniform toning to foredges else a very good copy. Original black cloth hardcover with gold gilt lettering in red dust wrapper with illustrated lettering. Ever since the unmasking of Burgess and MacLean, or Philby and Blunt, more and more evidence has come to light of communist agents able to penetrate into the very heart of Britain's secret services, particularly MI 5 and MI 6. The success of Soviet espionage and the extent of the damage it caused has never been fully assessed. Anthony Glees begins his balanced and authoritative historical survey with a cogent analysis of British foreign policy towards the Soviet Union and of Stalin's war ambitions once the Nazi forces were driven from Russian soil. He examines Hugh Dalton's role in the establishment of the Special Operations Executive, which was designed to ferment an anti Nazi uprising in occupied Europe, and for the first time reveals a hitherto known Soviet mole at work in its midst. The book goes on to evaluate the development of M I5 for protecting Britain security at home and the success rate of MI 6 in gathering accurate information concerning the secrets of hostile powers. The suspicion which is surrounded Sir Roger Hollis, Britain's leading expert on communist subversion, is shown in a new perspective, as indeed are the motives and conduct of those who have almost assumed a mantle of romance in the wake of Jonh le Carre's fiction and others who up to now have succeeded in retaining an enviable anonimity.…
