See Judys Review See Richards Review Download A Sample Chapter Of Fault Line Read about the Author Exclusive Bonus Content Write a Review for Fault Line Judys Review Loved this book. An amazing thriller full of completely unexpected & clever twists consistently dramatic & unpredictable. The protagonist Jonathan is a delight. Upright moral yet imaginative enough to understand what makes people behave badly under pressure. The murderous family secrets are beautifully played out to the extent that often you dont know if a death is suspicious or not & I especially loved Jonathans teenage love affair with the beautiful Vivien who is so obviously out of his league & so damaged by what has happened to her brother. The scenes on Capri where Viviens great-uncle Francis owns a villa are dreamily beautiful. & I adored the innocent but brave way Jonathan gets involved with every new horrific twist; every nasty surprise (including a brush with the Neapolitan Mafia) that this rich toxic family throw at him. Poor Jonathan is about to lose his innocence forever. & yet in a way he never does. In 2010 as a 60-year-old he finally solves the fraudulent murderous family secrets of the Wren clan. Yet he is just as loveable & instinctively wise as he was when he was 18. Richards Review This is a terrific thriller full of astonishing twists & dramatic turns. Th"

The legend of Faust grew up in the sixteenth century a time of transition between medieval & modern culture in Germany. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) adopted the story of the wandering conjuror who accepts Mephistopheless offer of a pact selling his soul for the devils greater knowledge; over a period of 60 years he produced one of the greatest dramatic & poetic masterpieces of European literature. David Lukes recent translation specially commissioned for The Worlds Classics series has all the virtues of previous classic translations of Faust & none of their shortcomings. Cast in rhymed verse following the original it preserves the essence of Goethes meaning without sacrifice to archaism or over-modern idiom. It is as near an equivalent rendering of the German as has been achieved. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxfords commitment to scholarship providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features including expert introductions by leading authorities helpful notes to clarify the text up-to-date bibliographies for further study & much more. ...

Goethes Faust reworks the late-medieval myth of Dr Faust a brilliant scholar so disillusioned he resolves to make a contract or wager with the devil Mephistopheles. The devil will do all he asks on Earth & seek to grant him a moment in life so glorious that he will wish it to last for ever. But if Faust does bid the moment stay he falls to Mephisto & must serve him after death. In this first part of Goethes great work the embittered thinker & Mephistopheles enter into their agreement & soon Faust is living a life beyond his study & in rejuvenated form winning the love of the charming & beautiful Gretchen. But in this compelling tragedy of arrogance unfulfilled desire & self-delusion Faust served by the devil heads inexorably towards destruction. ...

In this sequel to Faust" Mephistopheles takes Faust on a journey through ancient Greek mythology conjuring for him the insurpassably beautiful Helen of Troy as well as the classical gods. Faust falls in love with & marries Helen embodying for Goethe his imaginative longing to join poetically the Romantic Medievalism of the germanic West to the classical genius of the Greeks. Further to the themes of redemption & salvation in this great drama are Goethes eerie premonitions of modern phenomena such as inflation & the creation of life by scientific synthesis." ...

Faviken is an exclusive insight into one of the worlds most interesting restaurants: Faviken Magasinet in Sweden. Narrative texts photographs & recipes explain head chef Magnus Nilssons remarkable approach to sourcing & cooking with ingredients that are farmed & hunted in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant & how he creates a seasonal cycle of menus based on them.

The small team of chefs harvests & preserves all the food for the restaurant by hand using the most natural methods possible.

The menu is the same for all the guests & each dish is served to all the guests at the same time introduced by Magnus himself. The dishes sometimes involve the use of traditional implements such as a nineteenth-century ice-cream churn or an old sourdough bread basket which is still used for proving the dough. Even though not everyone can visit Faviken Nilssons approach to working with ingredients in the most natural intuitive way possible & making the most of each season will inspire all cooks & food-lovers to think differently about the ingredients that are available to them.
