In his debut novel, Golding makes sense of the current AIDS crisis as he envisions another time and place transformed by a fatal horror. Take a journey back six centuries to a secluded island in the Venice lagoon--a wondrous place where superstition reigns and life and death are created by magical equations.

Benjamin's Gift

A richly crafted novel, here is a tale that is at once the adventure-filled story of an unusual father and son and a front-row view of the momentous events that shaped the 20th century.

This mesmerising narrative iridescent with the colours of medieval Italy, is steeped in both authentic details and magical realism. It creates a long ago place that has chilling familiarity.

From the acclaimed author of Simple Prayers, hailed by Thomas Keneally as "a work of magic (and) a journey of wonder, " comes the rich and captivating tale of an extraordinary father and son. Jean Pierre Michel Chernovsky is a paragon of the Gilded Age, a product of both Old World and New, and a collector of all things beautiful. Benjamin Chernovsky is his adopted orphan of the Depression, a boy whose remarkable beauty is flawed by a strawberry birthmark on his right cheek and throat and whose mind is blessed with a disturbing and miraculous gift. United by something more binding than blood, rivals for the affections of one indomitable and exotic woman, they will embark upon an odyssey filled with wild adventures and startling discoveries, a journey that will alter them -- and their century -- forever.

Making Out in Thai is a fun, accessible and thorough Thai phrase book and guide to the Thai language as it's really spoken. Dichan long nai tua khun! Ca phop kan iik muearai?—(I'm crazy about you! When can I see you again?) Answer this correctly in Thai and you may be going on a hot date. Incorrectly, and you could be hurting someone's feelings or getting a slap! Thai classes and textbooks tend to spend a lot of time rehearsing for the same fictitious scenarios but chances are while in Thailand you will spend a lot more time trying to make new friends or start new romances—something you may not be prepared for. If you are a student, businessman or tourist traveling to Thailand and would like to have an authentic and meaningful experience, the key is being able to speak like a local. This friendly and easy-to-use Thai phrasebook makes this possible. Making Out in Thai has been revised and redesigned to act as a guide to modern colloquial Thai for use in everyday informal interactions—giving access to the sort of catchy Thai expressions that aren't covered in traditional language materials. As well as the Romanized forms, each expression is given in authentic Thai script (akson thai), so that in the case of difficulties the book can be shown to the person the user is trying to communicate with. This Thai phrasebook includes:<ul>
<li> A guide to pronouncing Thai words correctly.</li>
<li> Explanations of basic Thai grammar, such as, word order and polite vs. impolite forms.</li>
<li> A guide to male and female usage.</li>
<li> Romanized forms of words and phrases with tonal markings.</li>
<li> Complete translations including Thai script (akson thai).</li>
<li> Useful and interesting notes on Thai language and culture.</li>
<li> Lots of colorful, fun and useful expressions not covered in other phrasebooks.</li>
