His attempts to earn an honest living are cut short by the pressing attentions of his huge, lusty landlady, and he falls under the spell of Manny Wagstaff, gay, fast-talking and irremediably bent. The incongruous pair embark on a life of petty crime: robberies from pubs, a bank fraud, a jewel raid and a cleverly planned burglary. But soon Manny's ambitions begin to outstrip Shay's; their criminal exploits become more daring and inevitably begin to go wrong. Shay tries to wriggle out from Manny's dominance, only to find himself further enmeshed in a tangled world of espionage, homosexual intrigue in high places, adultery and finally, back in Ireland, the IRA'. ***'Sean Treacy is the landlord of the Queen's Elm, the famous London pub. Fast-moving, entertaining and outrageously funny throughout.' ***'Very funny, touching and filmable.' [Guy Hamilton - director of Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, You Only Live Twice, The Man With the Golden Gun and Funeral in Berlin).

First Edition. Original bright red cloth with the slightly rubbed dust jacket, unclipped, designed by artist and graphic designer Keith Cunningham. Small stain at foot of rear pastedown by join with spine. Association presentation copy from the author to local Chelsea resident and noted bohemian, Mary Swan. There is no doubt the two were well known to each apart from the obvious fact he signed the book for her; both Irish, and both stalwarts of the Finch's (Kings Arms) and Queens Elm in Chelsea. Indeed Treacy was the landlord at both of these legendary bohemian hangouts, and Mary would have often been the other side of the bar with the boozy clientele of artists, actors, losers and boozers.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Sword and the Steppe: A Complete History of the Magyar PeopleFrom the frozen rivers of the Siberian taiga to the sunlit plains of Central Europe, the Magyar people made one of history's most extraordinary journeys, and then did something even more remarkable: they stayed. The Sword and the Steppe traces the full arc of the Magyar story across three millennia, from the Proto-Uralic hunter-gatherers of the boreal forest to the Christian kingdom that became the eastern bastion of European civilisation, and on to the living nation of fourteen million people whose language still carries the sonic memory of that ancient world.Drawing on the latest advances in archaeogenetics, comparative linguistics, and medieval history, this book reconstructs the Magyar transformation in all its complexity, the adoption of the horse and the composite bow on the Pontic steppe, the sophisticated political architecture of the tribal confederation, the devastating raids that terrorised a continent, and the extraordinary decision to reinvent the entire basis of Magyar political life through Christian conversion. It explores the language that survived a millennium of imperial pressure, the folk music that preserved the pentatonic scales of Central Asia in Hungarian village kitchens, the cuisine shaped by nomadic necessity and Ottoman conquest, and the scattered diaspora communities from Moldavia to Nubia that carry the Magyar heritage in forms their founders could never have imagined. This is the complete story of a people who refused, against every historical precedent, to disappear.…
