Spaniards are reputed to be amongst Europe´s most forthright people. So why have they kept silent about the terrors of their Civil War and the rule of General Franco? This apparent ´pact of forgetting´ inspired writer Giles Tremlett to embark on a journey around Spain and its history. He found the ghosts of Spain everywhere, almost always arguing. Who caused the Civil War? Why do Basque terrorists kill? Why do Catalans hate Madrid? Did the Islamist bombers who killed 190 people in 2004 dream of a return to Spain´s Moorish past? Tremlett´s curiosity led him down some strange and colourful byroads, and brought him unexpected insights into the Spanish character.

Paperback edition of the latest novel from the Costa Prize winning author of "The Secret Scripture". Spanning a whole life time, it's narrated by Lily Bere as she mourns the loss of her grandson and looks back at her early life in Dublin and her move to the new world of America. It was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize. 'A work of lyrical beauty, a big-hearted story of a woman at the end of her long and difficult life.' Amy Raphael, "The Times"

''A rich meditation: on separation, on possession, on Renaissance artists, and, inevitably, on the transformative nature of travel.'' The Times ''Written in prose that constantly reminds us what language can do.'' Times Literary Supplement ''A writer of almost electrifying intensity ... This book is a ray of intricate sunlight.'' Irish Times When Rachel Cusk decides to travel to Italy for a summer with her husband and two young children, she has no idea of the trials and wonders that lie in store. Their journey leads them to both the expected and the surprising, all seen through Cusk's sharp and humane perspective.

In this acrobatic and virtuosic collection, Paul Auster traces the compulsion to make literature. In a selection of interviews, as well as in the essay ´The Red Notebook´ itself, Auster reflects upon his own work, on the need to break down the boundary between living and writing, and on the use of certain genre conventions to penetrate matters of memory and identity. The Red Notebook both illuminates and undermines our accepted notions about literature, and guides us towards a finer understanding of the dangerously high stakes involved in writing. It also includes Paul Auster´s impassioned essay ´A Prayer for Salman Rushdie´, as well as a set of striking and bittersweet reminiscences collected under the apposite title, ´Why Write?´

Already a bestseller, this is a wonderfully entertaining collection of Alan Bennett''s prose writings. Writing Home brings together diaries, reminiscences and reviews to give us a unique and unforgettable portrait of one of England''s leading playwrights. As a memoir it covers the production of his very first play, Forty Years On, which starred John Gieldgud, as well as many other important productions. His television series ''Talking Heads'' has become a modern-day classic; as part of the 1960s revue ''Beyond the Fringe'' Bennett helped to kick-start the English satire revolution, and has since remained one of our leading dramatists, most recently with The History Boys at the National Theatre. At the heart of the book is The Lady in The Van, since adapted into a radio play featuring Dame Maggie Smith. It is the true account of Miss Mary Shepherd, a homeless tramp who took up residence in Bennett''s garden and stayed for fifteen years. This new edition also includes Bennett''s introduction to his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Madness of King George and his more recent diaries.

** AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW ** From the critically-acclaimed author of the Outline trilogy, an irresistible novel of fame, power, beauty and truth -- and a blazing renovation of the form A little while ago, I told the actor M that I was thinking of writing her autobiography. She liked the idea. She's a good sport. Would you just make it up? she said. M is a film star, and one of the most recognisable faces of our time. With such fame, her life has the appearance of freedom: people are instantly obliging, spaces are altered to accommodate her, time can be rearranged. For her, it seems, the rules of reality have melted away. Now M has agreed to let a stranger write her biography. Their project will sprawl and expand: to the olive groves and holiday beaches where M spends her days; across hotel rooms, bourgeois facades, film sets; through endless modern cities. It is hard not to feel ugly next to M, hard not to feel insignificant. But what truths - about the very experience of living - might this proximity allow the writer to briefly capture? And what in the end will M make of their work? In Life of M, Rachel Cusk has again fashioned a new kind of literature. A novel stripped of artifice, it takes our emptiness and fills it with grace. 'It is truly masterful, her best work so far. I loved it' Vincenzo Latronico '[Cusk] is a disciple of the truth, and she helps us to see' Lucy Jones, Independent 'Roll up, wave a flag and join the crowds to watch Rachel Cusk continue her relentless march through life' Irish Times

Die Leichtigkeit der gemeinsamen Sommerabende trügt: Während aus den Radios Discobeats tönen und das Glitzern der 1970er Jahre allgegenwärtig scheint, fühlt sich Ben Schneider am falschen Ort. Er weiß, dass die Träume seiner Freunde in einem kleinen Ort im Ruhrgebiet nicht seine Träume sind. Dennoch haben alle eines gemeinsam: sie wollen bald raus. Nur eben anders. Wann immer es geht, setzt er sich ans Klavier und schreibt Songs. Aber er spielt auch Beethoven und Chopin und verliebt sich in Rebecca und erkennt, welche tiefen Gräben bestehen zwischen einem, der dem Arbeitermilieu entwachsen, und einer, die aus bürgerlicher Familie stammt, wo man Brahms zum Abendessen hört. Eine Band zu gründen, um die Stumpfheit der Zeit und des Milieus zu überwinden, ist sicher keine schlechte Idee. Wird Ben der Ausstieg aus dem Alten und der Aufstieg zu etwas Neuem gelingen? Davon erzählt Andreas Heidtmann in seinem zweiten großen Roman.
