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.

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.
