A poetic book of voices, landscapes and the passing of time, Ann Quin's finely wrought novel reflects the multiple yearnings of the very word 'passages'. Two characters move through the book: a woman in search of her brother, and her lover (a masculine reflection of herself) in search of himself. The form of the novel, reflecting the schizophrenia of the characters, is split into two sections: a narrative and a diary annotated with those thoughts that provoked the entries.

Anton Bruckner only began to compose his mature works at an age when most musical talents have already reached the height of their careers. At first his music was greeted with scorn and apathy. During the last years of his life, however, Bruckner enjoyed the beginnings of a success that only blossomed fully after his death. This volume breaks entirely new ground in giving a unique portrait of this important composer, providing an informative and comprehensive introduction to his work without lapsing into a welter of technical detail. This award-winning musical biography contains over 100 illustrations, annotated reading and listening lists, a chronological listing of all Bruckner's works and an index of people and places.

He belonged to the solemn race of men whose lives unfold too quickly to their close.?Jean Cocteau The Devil in the Flesh, one of the finest, most delicate love stories ever written, is set in Paris during the last year of the First World War. The narrator, a boy of sixteen, tells of his love affair with Martha Lacombe, a young woman whose soldier husband is away at the front. The liaison soon becomes a scadal and their friends, horrified and incredulous, refuse to accept what is happening - even when the affair reaches its tragic climax. In the film Le Diable au Corps (with Gerard Philipe and Micheline Presle), Claude Autant-Lara recreated this story of the First World War with nostalgic tenderness. His sensitive dramatization treats the affair with such delicacy that many critics consider the love scenes to be among the most beautiful ever photographed. The film won the Grand Prix and the International Critics Prize. Raymond Radiguet wrote The Devil in the Flesh between the ages of sixteen and eighteen, about his own adolescent love affair with an older woman. He died from typhoid fever at the age of twenty. His only other novel is Comte d'Orgel, also available from Marion Boyars Publishers. "...a triumph of the poetic intelligence: a masterpiece..."?New Statesman

The Investigation is a dramatic reconstruction of the Frankfurt War Crimes trials, based on the actual evidence given. This testimony, concerning Auschwitz and the atrocities which were enacted there, has been edited and extracted by Peter Weiss into a dramatic document that relies solely and completely on the facts for its effectiveness. There is no artistic license, no manipulation of facts and figures, no rearrangement of events for theatrical effect. Nameless witnesses stand and recall their appalling memories of Auschwitz, allowing us to bear witness to their painful and painstaking search for truth and, ultimately, justice. What emerges is a chastening and purging documentary of deeply moving power. Peter Weiss was born in 1916 and settled in Sweden before the outbreak of World War II. Apart from his writing, he was also well known as a painter, theatrical and operatic director, and a film maker. His magnificent play Marat/Sade, which is also available from Marion Boyars Publishers, established his reputation among English-speakling audiences as a revolutionary dramatist, and has continued to be a bestselling classic. He died in 1982.
