Desperate to resurrect his career, after succumbing to the lure of Hollywood, Gideon Zadok travels to Israel, determined to find material for a new book. Once there, he finds Natasha Solomon, a survivor of the Holocaust, & her disturbed passion for him unleashes his own smouldering desires. Then, on the eve of the '56 Sinai War, he abandons her & joins the Israeli forces & is parachuted to the key junction of Mitla Pass, deep behind enemy lines.

Paganism means living in harmony with nature & respecting all that nature has to offer. It is a sustainable way of life that has existed in the British Isles for thousands of years & that has survived secretly among scattered households throughout the UK. Although it is not a religious path (true pagans do not worship deities), paganism will appeal to anyone who cares about the environment, who is interested in maintaining an organic lifestyle or who believes in respecting their roots whilst catering for the future. Paganism may be thousands of years old, but it is particularly suited to meeting our twenty-first century concerns.

In The Modern Pagan, Brian Day explains how to live in a way that honours the land & its inhabitants. There is advice on celebrating seasonal festivals, on cultivating a true pagan garden, on creating delicious food & drink from hedgerow fare, on herbal medicine, on the importance of pagan parenting & family values, on living in harmony without prejudice & discrimination & much more. The core principles of Modern Paganism will make sense to anyone who is tired of the hustle & bustle of our polluted lifestyles, & who is looking for a way to live that is in balance with our fellow human beings & the natural world.

In a bar in the Buenos Aires suburb of Villa Crespo our narrator recalls his encounters with an old man of Lithuanian descent, Samuel Warschauer, whom he came to know shortly before the man died. Among his papers, he found the script of a curious play entitled The Moldavian Pimp, performed in Yiddish in the poor, Jewish area of the city in 1927-28.
