Through the ages, libraries have not only accumulated & preserved, but shaped, inspired & obliterated knowledge. Matthew Battles takes us on a fascinating journey from Boston to Baghdad, from classical scriptoria to medieval monasteries, from the Vatican to the British Library. The library has been a battleground of competing notions of what books mean to us, from the clay-tablet collections of ancient Mesopotamia to the legendary libraries of Alexandria, from the burned scrolls of the Qing Dynasty to the book-pyres of the Hitler Youth, from the Dewey Decimal System to the Internet. Battles explores how the library has served two contradictory impulses: to exalt canons of literature, to secure & celebrate the best writing; & the desire to contain all forms of human knowledge
- to keep all the books. In its custody of books & the words they contain, the library has confronted & tamed technology, the forces of change & the power of princes time & again.

In this novel, the South looms dark & ominous in the background with its Biblical rhetoric, its conflict between a tradition of religious fundamentalism & modern scepticism, racial contrasts & the industrialisation of a rural society. But more than a novel of time & place, it is the story of a tormented family submerged in infidelity & driven by a vengeful love that is blocked, hurt & perverted. Peyton Loftis, who frantically needs a husband precisely because she loves her father; the decadent Milton, whose infidelity has made his marriage no more than a stage drama; & Helen, his wife, who loves only what she can control
- her crippled daughter Maudie, or the childish part of her husb&. This extraordinarily powerful novel is the portrait of a family who, in the words of Sir Thomas Browne in his URN BURIAL, 'all lie down in darkness'.

Lie In The Dark

Investigator Petric makes his living from the dead. Lately business has been slow, what with the siege around Sarajevo. Condoned killing has displaced the crime of passion; his services with the civil police as a homicide investigator have been less in demand. Unluckily one premeditated death does land on the detective's desk. It is no abused lover or a distant sniper's victim but a government official - the chief of the interior ministry's police - shot dead at close range.In a thriller that recalls the first excitement of Martin Cruz Smith's Moscow and the Vienna of Graham Greene's The Third Man, author Dan Fesperman brilliantly renders the fragmented society and underworld of Sarajevo at war - the freelancing gangsters, guilty bystanders, drop-in correspondents, the bureaucrats
frightened for their jobs and very lives - and he weaves through this torn cityscape one man's desperate, deadly pursuit of the wrong people in the worst places.
