It is a novel about a whole world and a great lost people. It is a book of knowledge. It is all about the present and sometimes about the future, which is why it begins eleven hundred years ago. It is about three great (and unruly) wise men~one Christian, one Jewish, one Moslem~whose disputes about the way the world should be are never done. It's a mystery wrapped in bedazzling philosophy. It's an Arabian Nights romance wrapped in a mystery. It's several murder stories wrapped in a romance. It's an illumination wrapped in secrets. It's a wickedly teasing intellectual game and an astonishing adventure. Its most wonderful characters disappear, only to return in the most impenetrable disguises. It is visited by several devils. And vampires. And a sect of priests who pursue their opponents in their sleep, for they are Dream Hunters. It comes in two versions, one male and one female, which differ only by fifteen (crucial) lines. Readers may choose whichever edition they prefer as their passport: their journey through the world of the Khazars will be different depending on their choice. Either way, all those who yearn to lose themselves in' a novel of love and death and adventure of almost cosmic possibilities should take Mr. Pavic's Dictionary in hand and plunge in. They will be entranced. Milorad Pavic was born in Belgrade. in 1929. He is professor of literary history at the University of Belgrade and is one of Yugoslavia's most acclaimed poets. Dictionary of the Khazars is his first full~length novel. Translated from the Serbo~Croatian by Christina Pribicevic~Zoric.

Here then, from the well thumbed pages of "Black Mask" and "Dime Detective Magazine", are eight of his finest stories. Sharper than a hoodlum's switchblade, more exciting than an unexpected redhead and stronger than a double shot of whisky, they are packed full of the punchy poetry and laconic wit that makes Chandler the undisputed master of his genre.

Helena Drysdale was leaving for Madagascar when family papers revealed that her ancestors traded there during the 19th century. There were hints of piracy and slave trading. Madagascar was not their only haunt. There was also Zanzibar with its plump sultans and the Comoros Islands. Helena and her photographer husband, Richard Pomeroy, set off to follow in their wake and find any lingering family connections. Their four month journey takes them from old colonial Mombasa to the labyrinthine alleys of Zanzibar, from Muslim ceremonies of 'second marriage' in the Comoros Islands to ancestor worship in Madagascar and annual exhumations of the dead. They are travellers in a traveller's world: everyone comes by sea from somewhere else; everyone shares ancestral dreams of leaving and arriving. The story is an exploration not only of the wilder parts of these Indian Ocean Islands, of their culture and history, but also of our relationship with our ancestors. Quite scarce signed.

Newly married and having recently taken over the management of a hotel in Honolulu, he is drawn into the chaotic lives of his guests and into the distinctive customs and rhythms of the distant island. As witness to the many contrasting, and often ribald, chronicles of the hotel's characters, he ultimately finds personal salvation through returning to writing once again. The result is this novel in eighty distinct episodes, a Chaucerian sequence of strange pilgrims and just as strange islanders confronting each other, and their fate, in the rooms of the seedy hotel.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket by Gray318 (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 385pp. The story goes that in 1841, the poet John Clare escaped from High Beach Asylum in Epping Forest and, heading towards his home in Northborough, covered eighty miles over three and a half days. On foot and alone, he was searching for his lost love, Mary Joyce, a woman already three years dead. In Iain Sinclair's hands, the bare facts of John Clare's story turn both strange and elliptical. Armed with curiosity and a sense that his work has from the first been haunted by Clare, Sinclair together with fellow diviners and other stragglers of the road sets out to recreate Clare's walk away from madness and to explore his own obsession with the poet. Keats, De Quincey, Blake, Pepys, Shelley, Joyce, Beckett, artist Brian Catling and magus Alan Moore, along with Sinclair's wife Anna, who shares a connection with Clare, are his fellow travellers on a journey that becomes an exercise in memory and erasure encompassing parents, grandparents and other ancestral ghosts. The mad, wonderful, hallucinatory and physical prose of Clare finds new expression in Sinclair's deep digging fiction of biography where memoir, history, travel, mystery and dream story combine in a magnificent eulogy to madness and to sanity, along the borders of which may lie the poet's muse. Quite a scarce book (unsurprisingly!).
