Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A moving tribute to the spirit of survival, Arnold Zable's beloved novel Cafe Scherazade is now a Text Classic.'In Acland Street, St Kilda, there stands a cafe called Scheherazade.' Thus begins Arnold Zable's haunting meditation on displacement, and the way the effects of war linger in the minds of its survivors. In this deeply moving book we meet Avram and Masha, proprietors of the cafe, and hear the tales that they and their fellow storytellers have to offer- of Moshe stalking the streets of Shanghai and Warsaw, of Laizer imprisoned in the Soviet city of Lvov, and of Zalman marooned in Vilna and Kobe. And we learn how Avram and Masha met and fell in love and came to create their Melbourne cafe together.In this mesmerising book, at once fable and history, fiction becomes a way of remaining faithful to the stories of cities strung across the globe like pearls on a string, to the maps and narratives etched in the minds of old men talking in a cafe by the sea. A moving tribute to the spirit of survival, Arnold Zable's beloved novel Cafe Scheherazade is now a Text Classic.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Romek and Zofia are trying to rebuild a life together, liberated from the shadow of the concentration camps. Merle Shanahan tiptoes around the volatile moods of her husband Miles. Mr Giancarlo, the aging patriarch, watches over the lives of his enormous family. Mr Sommers sits in silence on his verandah, smoking his pipe and remembering the Great War. Weintraub the communist sits in the bar and drinks whisky, all the while singing the Internationale under his breath. And Josh, Romek's twelve year old son, avoids local bullies, reads Jack London and tries to understand the world around him. In the inner Melbourne suburb of Carlton in the 1950s half a dozen families are struggling to survive and begin new lives. With the same keen eye for the power of migrant stories he displayed in Cafi Scheherazade and The Fig Tree Arnold Zable recreates a lost world and traces the paths of these lives. Scraps of Heaven is a meditation on and a celebration of the tales that form us, and it affirms Arnold Zable's status as a master storyteller. It's 1958 and Australia is becoming a different place. The Melbourne working-class suburb of Carlton is now home to many immigrant families trying to begin new lives and make sense of the old. This is a stunning evocation of a changing world, where optimism is tinged with sorrow at the raw memories of war.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ithaca. I cannot recall the first time I heard the word. It has always been there like an ancient longing welling up from the sea.Xanthe is drawn to Ithaca, the birthplace of her father Manoli and her maternal grandfather Mentor. She is translating Mentor's manuscript, his story of leaving Ithaca and his life in Australia- fleeing the Kalgoorlie riots, working in Melbourne coffee houses with his compatriots, studying in the State Library, and learning to dream his way back to Ithaca and back to his lost son.Slowly she begins to understand her father's dark moods. The lure of the sea and the promise of fortune. And the ache for the sea and the island.Through Mentor's manuscript and Xanthe's memories, we meet many people and hear their stories, spanning more than a century. We follow the lives of Manoli and his brother Andreas, who, as teenagers in the 1930s, build a boat and ferry passengers and freight across the Ionian Sea. We meet Antonios Lekatsas and learn of his partnership with architect Walter Burley Griffin to design some of Melbourne's most creative buildings. And we hear the stories of the women who waited on Ithaca while their men sought fortune in Australia.Sea of Many Returns is a profound meditation on displacement, nostalgia and exile-a story that affirms the enduring resonance of the Odyssey for voyagers of all times. Arnold Zable takes us to modern-day Ithaca, to its mountains, villages and harbours, and into the houses of its people. Sea of Many Returns is a profound meditation on displacement, nostalgia and exile - a story that affirms the enduring resonance of the Odyssey for voyagers of all times.
