Underwords

"London has always been a chameleon figure, revealing itself in a multitude of different guises, each as individual as the dreams and aspirations of its many inhabitants. The theme of this collection is the hidden city, and each of the fourteen stories vividly expresses a different mood and aspect of the city, and the undercurrents of emotion that surge through the capital - the irrepressible mixture of excitement or tension, fear or freedom."--BOOK JACKET.

Doctor Gavrilov

It is 1992. The Soviet Union has broken up, and a Russian nuclear scientist is trying to start a new life in London. But he finds that he cannot throw off his past so easily. The secret knowledge possessed by Dmitry Gavrilov attracts those wanting to develop clandestine nuclear weapons, as well as the intelligence agencies trying to prevent them. And a British journalist is also on the case, trying to expose him. As the pressure on him tightens, Dr Gavrilov finds himself drawn into a complex plot which will threaten not only his own life, but also that of his wife and children.'Like the very best Le Carre... gripped me more than anything I have read for a long time. People have been making serious claims for thrillers: this is one of the very few that justify them because it is one of the very few where you believe in the main characters as real and really begin to care what happens to them.' Julian Rathbone, author of 'King Fisher Lives' and 'Joseph,' both shortlisted for the Booker Prize'Mesmerising.' Mary Flanagan, author of 'Bad Girls', 'Trust' and 'Adele'

God, Mystery, and Mystification

In God, Mystery, and Mystification, Denys Turner presents eight essays covering the major issues of philosophical and practical theology that he has focused on over the fifty years of his academic career. While a somewhat heterogeneous collection, the chapters are loosely linked by a focus on the mystery of God and on distinguishing that mystery from merely idolatrous mystifications. The book covers three main fields: theological epistemology, medieval and early modern mystical theologies, and the relation of Christian belief to natural science and politics. Turner develops the implications of a moderate realist account of theological knowledge as distinct from a fashionable, postmodernist e...

Poetry For Dummies

Demystify and appreciate the pleasures of poetry Sometimes it seems like there are as many definitions of poetry as there are poems. Coleridge defined poetry as “the best words in the best order.” St. Augustine called it “the Devil’s wine.” For Shelley, poetry was “the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.” But no matter how you define it, poetry has exercised a hold upon the hearts and minds of people for more than five millennia. That’s because for the attentive reader, poetry has the power to send chills shooting down the spine and lightning bolts flashing in the brain — to throw open the doors of perception and hone our sensibilities to...

The Perfect Capital

“Like a Gill inscription itself: controlled, full of sexual tension, human, sensitive and with all this, rather wild and a bit unsettling.” - Lida Lopes Cardozo Kindersley Maud is dedicated to the art of lettercutting. Whilst observing a century-old inscription carved by Eric Gill into the outside wall of a London church, she is mistaken by Edward for a prostitute. She accepts his offer. Why does a woman seeking the precision and discipline of perfect letterforms abandon herself so recklessly to the undisciplined and all too imperfect world of Edward? What does rich, hedonistic city banker Edward see in the purposeful and unmaterialistic woman who is at least ten years older than his normal bedmates... and one still pining for her husband from whom she is separated? Lettercutting becomes not just a background, but an analogy for the search for perfection in an imperfect world. Can such shallow beginnings lead to a relationship that carves itself into their souls? The answer comes as a surprising end to this powerful and witty debut novel.
