Shake Hands For Ever
£6.29
Most people would have screamed. Mrs Hathall made no sound. She had seen death many times before, but she had never before seen a death by violence. Heavily, she plodded across the room & descended the stairs to where her son waited. ' There's been an accident, ' she said. ' Your wife's dead.' Chief Inspector Wexford could discover no motive, no reason, no suspect
- al he had were his own intuitive suspicions. Probably he was reading meaning where there was none; probably Angela Hathall really had picked up a stranger, & that stranger had killed her. But why such doubt? Was Wexford becoming cynical & untrusting
- or was this simply one of the most ingenious crimes he had ever tackled?

Shake Hands With The
Devil: The Failure Of
Humanity In Rwanda
£9.89
When Lt. General Rom-o Dallaire received the call to serve as force commander of the UN mission to Rwanda, he thought he was heading off to Africa to help two warring parties achieve a peace both sides wanted. Instead, he & members of his small international force were caught up in a vortex of civil war & genocide. Dallaire left Rwanda a broken man, disillusioned, suicidal, & determined to tell his story. An award-winning international sensation, Shake Hands with the Devil is a landmark contribution to the literature of war: a remarkable tale of a soldier's courage & an unforgettable portrait of modern war. It is also a stinging indictment of the petty bureaucrats who refused to give Dallaire the men & the operational freedom he needed to stop the killing. 'I know there is a God, ' Dallaire writes, 'because in Rwanda I shook hands with the devil. I have seen him, I have smelled him & I have touched him. I know the devil exists & therefore I know there is a God.' ...

Shakespeare
£8.99
Among Shakespear's many biographers none brings to his subject more passion & feeling for the creative act than Anthony Burgess. He breathes life into Shakespear the man & invigorates his times. His portrait of the age builds upon an almost personal tenderness for Shakespear & his contemporaries (especially Ben Jonson), & on a profound sense of literary & theatrical history. Anthony Burgess's well-known delight in language infuses his own writing about Shakespear's works. & in the verve of his biography he conveys the energy of the Elizabethan age. ...

Shakespeare: The
Biography
£7.49
Peter Ackroyd's method is to position Shakespeare in the close context of his world. In this way, Ackroyd not only richly conjures up the texture of Shakespeare's life, but also imparts an amazing amount of vivid, interesting material about place, period & background. The book is packed with gems
- & the reader turns the pages eagerly, keen to absorb the next nugget of information.
Peter Ackroyd walks with the reader though 16th-century Stratford & 16-century London like a native of that century. He is enthralled by the theatrical world, as if he were sitting with the Elizabethan audience & seeing the plays at the instant of their first performance. He writes about Shakespeare the actor, playwright & poet, & also about his circle of patrons & managers, actors & fellow writers, & about their 'unity of feeling'.
This book is neither academic nor didactic; it is an attempt at immediate & intimate communion with Shakespeare himself. It will be a bestseller to rival LONDON: THE BIOGRAPHY.
