ROSSETTI LETTER
Phillips, Christi
Fiction-History
|
|
In 17th century Venice, Alessandra Rossetti, a courtesan, becomes entangled in a dangerous political intrigue that threatens to destroy the Venetian Republic. She alone has the power to reveal a Spanish plot. But to do so would threaten the life of the one she loves.
Centuries later, postgraduate student Claire Donovan is writing her dissertation on the young courtesan. She has discovered that Alessandra wrote a secret letter to the Venetian Council exposing the Spanish conspiracy. But until now, no one knows how Alessandra learned of the plot, or what happened to her once it was revealed. Claire hopes that she will uncover the secrets of the young courtesan's life within the heart of Venice's ancient libraries and prove Alessandra deserves her place in history.
But upon arrival in Venice, Claire learns that Cambridge professor Andrew Kent is to present a paper on The Spanish Conspiracy, asserting that Alessandra was a co-conspirator of the Spanish. If he can prove his theory, all of Claire's work - and her academic career - will be ruined. She knows she must discover the facts of Alessandra's role in order to save her own future. And as she races to find the truth, the boundless beauty and romance of the old city will also bring the passion back into Claire's own life.

THE WORLD’S GREATEST 20th CENTURY BATTLEFIELDS
Snow, Peter & Dan
Non-Fiction-History
|
|
This is the story of the most intense and bitterly fought battles of the twentieth century, and their lasting impact on the world.
From Amiens in the First World War to the First Gulf War in 1990-1, each of the battles featured in this book marked a turning point in military history.
Political journalist Peter Snow and military historian Dan Snow have written a high-octane, gripping narrative, punctuated by powerful eyewitness testimony that brings to life the experience of war. They reveal that these battles were shaped not just by distant military commanders but by men fighting on the frontline, whether the apocalyptic terrain of the Western Front or the hidden guerrilla tunnels of Vietnam.
During the course of the twentieth century military warfare reached unimaginable levels of intensity, scale and cost. The World's Greatest Twentieth Century Battlefields looks back at the most violent century in history and examines the challenges facing armed forces in the future. Richly illustrated with archive photographs and over 40 detailed maps, this compelling and often shocking account recreates the landscape of warfare.

“Unquestionably the finest biography ever written about Darwin” – Stephen Jay Gould in Nature
12 February 2009 will be the 200th anniversary of the birth of the eminent English naturalist, Charles Darwin.
DARWIN is one of the best biographies of the author of On the Origin of the Species.
This biography of Charles Darwin attempts to capture the private unknown life of the real man - the gambling and gluttony at Cambridge, his gruelling trip round the globe, his intimate family life, worries about persecution and thoughts about God. Central to all of this, his pioneering efforts on the theory of evolution now that recent studies have overturned the commonplace views of Darwin that have held for more than a century.
Rights to the first edition were sold in 6 countries.

SPORT
Harris, Tim
Non-Fiction-Sport
|
|
‘When it came to sport, I thought I had an enquiring mind. But then I realised my curiosity was as nothing compared to Tim Harris’s. His book is awesome in its scope and detail. It claims, too modestly, to contain ‘almost everything you ever wanted to know’. Almost? I honestly don’t see how it can have left any question about the origins and development of sport unanswered. For compilers of sports quizzes it will prove invaluable. For me it will provide invaluable toilet-side reading for many years to come. Anyone with a love of and interest in sport should keep this book within arms reach at all times’ - Adrian Chiles. ‘A long old read this, but Harris's attempt to split the whole of 'sport' into eight themed sections means you can dip in and out without feeling as though you're doing his magnum opus an injustice’ - Sport magazine. ‘Never has a title been more apt…Harris is a good writer and his brisk style means that, before long, golf balls have given way to billiard tables and baseball bats, and the reader is hooked into his immaculately researched world…(A) fantastic book’ - Ben East, METRO. ‘this book really does explain almost everything you’ve ever wanted to know about sport…a weighty work of scholarship…a phenomenal achievement. Can anyone know more about sport than Tim Harris?’ - Ed Harris, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. It’s an epic size book but the author has agreed that publishers may cut the text back, omitting perhaps the less relevant sections for their readership. This book is the ultimate geek’s guide to the history of sport. Going back as far as the Greek games and taking in all the sporting detail that brings the reader up to present day, SPORT is the definitive handbook for all those sporty questions. It is divided thematically between sporting grounds and sports equipment, rules of sport and drug taking, and much more. It may be encyclopaedic in length, but its clear and accessible layout with well marked headings makes it so easy to dip in and out of. And with a brilliant index and bibliography you can quickly find the answer to your burning question and learn that little bit more. Since publication in October Yellow Jersey has sold an impressive 8000 copies. Finished copy is available

Young writer who is often referred to as the most talented 21st century Hungarian writer. She studied Latin, English and Finnish languages at the University of ELTE, in Budapest, later Finnish and cultural anthropology in Helsinki.

Noémi Szécsi’s second novel A Communist Monte Cristo (2006) draws the stormy decades of the Twentieth century (1919-1957) through the story of a hardcore communist, a vegetarian butcher. This time the appreciation won a European Union Literary Award.
Her latest novel, The Last Centaur (2009) describes the life of young anarchists in Budapest.
The Finnish Vampire was translated into Polish in 2005.
