It was one of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the Troubles in Northern Ireland: the construction, during the war`s most savage phase, of a factory in West Belfast to make a luxury sports car with gull-wing doors. Huge subsidies were provided by the British government. The first car rolled off the line during the appalling hunger strikes of 1981. The prime mover & central character of this intelligent, witty & moving novel was John De Lorean, brilliant engineer, charismatic entrepreneur & world-class conman. He comes to energetic, seductive life through the eyes of his fixer in Belfast, a traumatised Vietnam veteran, & of a woman who takes a job in the factory against the wishes of her husb&. Each of them has secrets & desires they dare not share with anyone they know. A great American hustler brought to vivid life in the most unlikely setting imaginable. ...

This new book from popular TV personality & journalist John Carter, presenter of ITV`s Wish You Were Here.? from 1987 to 1997 & the BBC`s Holiday from 1969 to 1987, lifts the lid on the stories that never made it to screen or press, sometimes because they had no bearing on the article or destination report he was compiling, but often because they could not be told for fear of the consequences, from behind-the-scenes mishaps to hilarious encounters with famous names. Having travelled the world for over half a century on behalf of newspapers & magazines, radio & television programmes
- &, occasionally, just for the fun of it
- John Carter has a vast store of tales to tell. Now he has put a selection of those stories down on paper. Of necessity, names have occasionally had to be changed not only to protect the innocent, but to save the blushes of the guilty. As well as those & other true stories, this book is laced with `factions`: tales that are based on real incidents & encounters-on cruise ships, as it happens
- but which have been `tweaked` to provide the neat ending that real life usually neglects. Though, as this collection proves, real life is far more unlikely than the strangest of fiction. ” During my work on television, people would often say they liked what I did because I seemed to be genuinely enjoying myself, ” he says. ” The most frequent comment was that they hoped to get as much from their holiday as I did. Which is why I have finally set down my own rather unbelievable experiences.” Whether evading Italian film companies in Yugoslavia
- & accidentally encountering Sophia Loren
- getting thrown out of a Royal reception in Morocco or being press-ganged into acting as a tour guide on his very first trip to the USA, John Carter has enjoyed his travels & revels in the unexpected situations that he has faced along the way.

Shipwrecked on an unknown isl&, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself surrounded by its six-inch natives, the Lilliputians. But this is only the first in a long line of wonderful discoveries, as his adventures take him to other far-off lands such as Brobdingnag, populated by a race of giants, Luggnagg, home to the eternally ageing Struldbrugs, & the country of the Houyhnhnms, inhabited by benevolent talking horses. Parodying the immensely popular travel novels of its time, Gulliver's Travels is not only a tour de force in imaginative & comical writing, which has thrilled readers of all ages for almost three centuries, but also a masterly, merciless satire on western society & human nature. ...

Jonathan Swift's classic satirical narrative was first published in 1726, seven years after Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (one of its few rivals in fame & breadth of appeal). As a parody travel-memoir it reports on extraordinary lands & societies, whose names have entered the English language: notably the minute inhabitants of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, & the Yahoos in Houyhnhnml&, where talking horses are the dominant species. It spares no vested interest from its irreverent wit, & its attack on political & financial corruption, as well as abuses in science, continue to resonate in our own times. ...

Spineless Publishing offers you the unique display for Gulliver's Travels on one sheet to hang on the wall. A scorching satire of politics & human nature, Jonathan Swift's fantastical tale is not just an imaginative children's story but a work of deep (and deeply sarcastic) insight. Inspired by Gulliver's stay in Brobdingrag (or perhaps Lilliput; it's up to interpretation) this design contains the full text of the book. The font, although inevitably small, up close, is perfectly legible. All Spineless Classics are printed on heavyweight paper in sharp, lightfast ink which will not fade. Frame you favourite classic & transform it into a beautiful work of art. Please note the frame is not included. ...

Swift`s classic tale in a gorgeous clothbound edition. Shipwrecked & cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion & fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters
- with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms & brutish Yahoos
- give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift`s savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified & finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.
