New Releases by Arthur Phillips

NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Readings In Money And Banking: Selected And Adapted This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.

A number of years ago, there was a TV show titled The Naked City. It always ended with this comment: "There are eight million stories in the Naked City; you have just seen one of them." Uncle Little Buddy is one story, not of the Naked City but of a murder that took place in 1944 near Fort Benning, Georgia. Two Negroes were court-martialed and sentenced to be hanged. A mother took the momentum task of trying to exonerate her son by praying and writing letters to congressmen and generals. In order to amplify this story, other family members were and are integral parts of the life of Uncle Little Buddy. Portions of their stories are included; after all, this was a Negro convicted of murdering a white man in Georgia in 1944.

Inghilterra, 1601. La regina Elisabetta I è in fin di vita. Non ha avuto figli: il suo è un regno privo di erede, e i potenziali successori cominciano a tramare. Il trono spetterebbe a Giacomo VI di Scozia, ma a corte si vocifera che il re nasconda qualcosa. Ha tutte le ragioni per affermare di essere protestante, ma se segretamente condivide il cattolicesimo della sua famiglia, allora quarant’anni di guerra di religione saranno stati inutili. È un rischio che il paese non può permettersi. Qual è, quindi, la vera fede di Giacomo VI? A Geoffrey Belloc, tra i più abili collaboratori della corona, viene affidato il compito di ideare un test per scoprirlo. Belloc arruola Mahmoud Ezzedine, un medico musulmano rimasto in Inghilterra dopo l’ultima visita diplomatica dell’impero ottomano, come suo agente sotto copertura. È l’uomo perfetto per il lavoro: è un outsider, bloccato da anni su quell’isola fredda, umida e primitiva. Pur di riabbracciare la moglie e il figlio è disposto a tutto. Una scrittura superba, una caratterizzazione psicologica acuta e una trama perfettamente congegnata fanno di Il re ai confini del mondo un magistrale romanzo storico e al tempo stesso un avvincente romanzo di spionaggio, in cui ogni personaggio gioca la sua partita su tavoli diversi, cercando di anticipare gli altri e scrivendo, mossa dopo mossa, il copione della Storia. «A tratti evoca Hilary Mantel, John le Carré e Graham Greene, ma la trama insidiosa che lo trascina è puro Arthur Phillips». «The Wall Street Journal» «In Il re ai confini del mondo i fan di Arthur Phillips riconosceranno – e i nuovi lettori saranno felici di scoprire – il coinvolgente mix di erudizione, brio e sentimento. Phillips è unico, e in ottima forma». Jennifer Egan «Uno dei migliori scrittori d’America». «The Washington Post» «Una nuova, grande performance... Fa pensare al magistrale Wolf Hall di Hilary Mantel, ma forse in modo ancora più evidente ai romanzi di Graham Greene... Una rara combinazione di finezza letteraria e trama avvincente, un altro trionfo di Arthur Phillips». «Kirkus Reviews» «Phillips ricostruisce un’epoca in maniera magistrale e infarcisce la narrazione di colpi di scena sorprendenti. Questo romanzo intelligente e sinuoso ricorda i drammi storici di Hilary Mantel e i thriller di John le Carré, e risuonerà nella mente dei lettori». «Publishers Weekly»

1601. Queen Elizabeth I is dying. With no heir for the kingdom, potential successors secretly maneuver to be in position when the inevitable occurs. The leading candidate is King James VI of Scotland, but there is a problem. The queen''s spymasters fear that James'' claim to be a Protestant are untrue. If he secretly shares his family''s Catholicism, then forty years of religious war will have been for nothing, and a bloodbath will ensue. It falls to Geoffrey Belloc to devise a test to discover the true nature of King James''s soul. Belloc enlists Mahmoud Ezzedine, a Muslim physician from the Ottoman Empire, as his undercover agent. -- adapted from jacket

A mix of emotions that come to ahead by not just one entity, but four. The words and feelings that come from everyday life, and even what we can''t say. Sometimes, it''s not bad to be the "BAD GUY", but it also a lot of fun. The message comes from Fear. It''s a measure of so much but, then again it''s just something we all endure as humans each day we live.

Egyptoloog Ralph Trilipush is geobsedeerd door de apocriefe koning Atum-hadu, tevens dichter van erotische kwatrijnen. Het duistere labyrint opent zich in 1922 in de woestijn van Egypte, waar Pushy op zoek gaat naar de graftombe, en slingert zich dan een weg door Australische sloppenwijken, ballrooms in Boston, en via Oxford en de slagvelden van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, naar een koninklijk hof in verval. Ondertussen begint een Australische detective aan de zaak van zijn leven: hij moet een moordenaar opsporen. En nog één. En misschien zelfs nog één. Zijn zoektocht voert hem de wereld over en eindigt in Egypte. Daar worden de beide verhalen in een explosieve climax samengesmeed. Het resultaat is een briljante expeditie vol literaire bravoure.

The Tragedy of Arthur is an emotional and elaborately constructed tour de force from “one of the best writers in America” (The Washington Post). Its doomed hero is Arthur Phillips, a young novelist struggling with a con artist father who works wonders of deception. Imprisoned for decades and nearing the end of his life, Arthur’s father reveals a treasure he’s kept secret for half a century: The Tragedy of Arthur, a previously unknown play by William Shakespeare. Arthur and his twin sister inherit their father’s mission: to see the manuscript published and acknowledged as the Bard’s last great gift to humanity . . . unless it’s their father’s last great con. By turns hilarious and haunting, this virtuosic novel, which includes Shakespeare’s (?) lost play in its entirety, brilliantly subverts our notions of truth, fiction, genius, and identity, as the two Arthurs—the novelist and the ancient king—play out their strangely intertwined fates.

Each song on Julian’s iPod, “that greatest of all human inventions,” is a touchstone. There are songs for the girls from when he was single, there’s the one for the day he met his wife-to-be, there’s one for the day his son was born. But when Julian’s family falls apart, even music loses its hold on him. Until one snowy night in Brooklyn, when his life’s soundtrack—and life itself—start to play again. Julian stumbles into a bar and sees Cait O’Dwyer, a flame-haired Irish rock singer, performing with her band, and a strange and unlikely love affair is ignited. Over the next few months, Julian and Cait’s passion plays out, though they never meet. What follows is a heartbreaking dark comedy, the tenderest of love stories, and a perfectly observed tale of the way we live now.

Obsesionado por la tumba de un supuesto faraón, el arqueólogo Trilipush se juega su reputación y su fortuna. Al otro extremo del mundo, un detective se enfrenta a su más importante caso. Dos tramas laberínticas que arrastran al lector hacia un final demoledor.

From the bestselling author of Prague comes a witty, inventive, brilliantly constructed novel about an Egyptologist obsessed with finding the tomb of an apocryphal king. This darkly comic labyrinth of a story opens on the desert plains of Egypt in 1922, then winds its way from the slums of Australia to the ballrooms of Boston by way of Oxford, the battlefields of the First World War, and a royal court in turmoil. Just as Howard Carter unveils the tomb of Tutankhamun, making the most dazzling find in the history of archaeology, Oxford-educated Egyptologist Ralph Trilipush is digging himself into trouble, having staked his professional reputation and his fiancée’s fortune on a scrap of hieroglyphic pornography. Meanwhile, a relentless Australian detective sets off on the case of his career, spanning the globe in search of a murderer. And another murderer. And possibly another murderer. The confluence of these seemingly separate stories results in an explosive ending, at once inevitable and utterly unpredictable. Arthur Phillips leads this expedition to its unforgettable climax with all the wit and narrative bravado that made Prague one of the most critically acclaimed novels of 2002. Exploring issues of class, greed, ambition, and the very human hunger for eternal life, this staggering second novel gives us a glimpse of Phillips’s range and maturity–and is sure to earn him further acclaim as one of the most exciting authors of his generation.

A novel of startling scope and ambition, Prague depicts an intentionally lost Lost Generation as it follows five American expats who come to Budapest in the early 1990s to seek their fortune. They harbor the vague suspicion that their counterparts in Prague have it better, but still they hope to find adventure, inspiration, a gold rush, or history in the making.
