It was the usual set-up: way out of town, secretive directions to get there, and disco lights blazingMoscow, 1993. The end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union have brought unimaginable change to Russia. With this change come new freedoms: freedom to travel abroad and to befriend Westerners, freedom to make money, and even the freedom for an underground gay scene to take root.Encouraged by the new climate of openness, twenty-one-year-old Kostya ventures out of the closet and resolves to pursue his dreams: to work in the theatre and to find love as his idol Tchaikovsky never could. Those dreams, however, lead to tragedy not only for Kostya, but for his mother and for the two young men he loves, as all three face up to the ways they have betrayed him.Last Dance at the Discotheque for Deviants is both a gripping mystery and a poignant, very human tale of people beset by forces beyond their control, in a world where all the old certainties have crumbled and its far from clear what will eventually take their place. Last Dance at the Discotheque for Deviants is both a gripping thriller and a poignant, very human tale of people beset by forces beyond their control, in a world where all the old certainties have crumbled and it's far from clear what will eventually take their place.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Houses in literature have captured readers' imaginations for centuries, from Gothic castles to Georgian stately homes, Bloomsbury townhouses and high-rise penthouses. Step on to a tour of real and imagined houses that great English writers have used to reflect the themes of their novels. houses that became like characters themselves, embodiments of the social and historical currents of their time. Phyllis Richardson takes us on a journey through history to discover how authors' personal experiences in their homes helped to shape the imaginative dwellings that have become icons of English literature: Virginia Woolf's love of Talland House in Cornwall is palpable in To the Lighthouse, just as London's Bloomsbury is ever-present in Mrs Dalloway. E.M. Forster's childhood home at Rook's Nest mirrors the idyllic charm of Howards End. Evelyn Waugh plotted Charles Ryder's return to Brideshead while a guest at Madresfield. Jane Austen was no stranger to a manor house or a good ballroom. And Horace Walpole's `little Gothic castle' in Twickenham inspired him to write the first English Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto. But the English country house, from the idyllic to the unloved, is also viewed through a modern lens - Kazuo Ishiguro's Darlington Hall, Ian McEwan's Tallis House, Alan Hollinghurts's Two Acres. Using historic sources, authors' biographies, letters, news accounts, and the novels themselves, The House of Fiction presents some of the most influential houses in Britain through the stories they inspired, while offering candid glimpses of the writers who brought them to life. Houses in literature have captured readers' imaginations for centuries, from Gothic castles to Georgian stately homes, Bloomsbury townhouses and high-rise penthouses.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The fictionalised true story of one Ethiopian woman's ordeal working as a domestic servant in Beirut. A chilling novel steeped in real-life horrors. Meron Lemma couldn't know there was a fate worse than wasting away as a poor teenager in the Ethiopian slum where she was born. Desperate to create her own destiny, and drawn by the irresistible possibility of earning real dollars as a maid in Beirut, Meron leaves her devout mother and family behind to join the many other Habesha migrants searching for a better life in the Middle East. Only once there does she realise the ugly truth: instead of opportunity, she has found captivity. Instead of freedom, subordination. Trapped and mistreated by the harsh Madame, Meron lives in constant fear -- fear of the daily onslaught of Madame's vicious spite; of her cruel and callous daughters; of the sexual advances of her predatory son; and most of all, fear of losing her sense of self. her Habesha spirit. even her life. Rich in cultural detail and exposing the ongoing, under-reported horrors facing domestic workers in Lebanon today, No Lipstick in Lebanon is a harrowing account of the unremitting hell of modern slavery. Told through the escalating plight of our heroine, this is not just a fictionalised report of one maid's ordeal, but rather the uncovering of a larger issue plaguing a generation of women.

very good dust-jacket, very good black hardcover, slightly skewed by shelving, but appears essentially unused. SIGNED on title page: Tom Cox, and with rubber stamp of a small animal in lower corner of title page. COX, TOM. 21st-century yokel. London: Unbound, 2017, 1st printing number line starting with 1, 404pp., . "Explores the way we can be tied inescapably to landscape, whether we like it or not, often through our family and our past. It's not quite a nature book, not quite a humour book, not quite a family memoir, not quite folklore, not quite social history, not quite a collection of essays, but a bit of all seven. It contains owls, badgers, ponies, beavers, otters, bats, bees, scarecrows, dogs, ghosts, Tom's loud and excitable dad and, yes, even a few cats. It's full of Devon's local folklore - the ancient kind, and the everyday kind - and provincial places and small things. But what emerges from this focus on the small are themes that are broader and bigger and more definitive. The book's language is colloquial and easy and its eleven chapters are discursive and wide-ranging, rambling even. The feel of the book has a lot in common with the country walks Tom Cox was on when he composed much of it- it's bewitched by fresh air, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless, sometimes foolish, and prone to a few detours . but it always reaches its intended destination. The book is illustrated with Tom's own landscape photographs and linocuts by his mother.". ISBN 9781783524563.
