The gold war;: The story of the world's monetary crisis

Weil. Gordon L. and Ian Davidson

Secker Warburg

A totally filthy novel to put the literary world in spasms - but sure to make a shameful pile of money in America. Frensic, a literary agent with a 'nose for a bestseller' (as well as port and snuff), places this hot property with Hutchmeyer - who is the least respected publisher in the world. And a gullible author is despatched across the Atlantic for a chaotic publicity tour.

After years teaching Romantic poetry at the Technical University of Cape Town, David Lurie, middle-aged and twice divorced, has an impulsive affair with a student. The affair sours; he is denounced and summoned before a committee of inquiry. Willing to admit his guilt, but refusing to yield to pressure to repent publicly, he resigns and retreats to his daughter Lucy's isolated smallholding. For a time, his daughter's influence and the natural rhythms of the farm promise to harmonise his discordant life. But the balance of power in the country is shifting. He and Lucy become victims of a savage and disturbing attack which brings into relief all the faultlines in their relationship.

The World of Bede

Peter Hunter Blair

Dust Jacket Notes: "Pedro Martinez is a Mexican peasant, now over seventy [born in 1889]. This is the story of his life and of the lives of his wife and children, told in his own words and, from time to time, in theirs. Like Professor Lewis' earlier book, The Children of Sanchez, Pedro Martinez is at once an anthropological study of great force and subtlety and a literary masterpiece; a book in which the details and structure of the lives of peasants are accurately and minutely reported, but a book too in which these lives present themselves with the immediate reality of a work of art...."
