Two men. A corporate lawyer from Los Angeles to whom success has come easy and a former homeless child from the streets of Rio aching for the big money. Both are reaching for something impossible, something that has always eluded them. Success has come easily to a wealthy Los Angeles' lawyer. He is riding high on a free-running global economy that has reordered the world. He cares little for the logic of global capital that has enriched him overpowering the ancient inertia of politics.

Now he finds himself in the middle of the booming Brazilian gold rush 250 miles from Manaus down the Amazon, in a floating gold town named the Wolf's Mouth. Cut off from civilization, he is suddenly confronted with the brutal nature of law and his own failures deep in the Brazilian rainforest. Somewhere in Los Angeles he has lost his purpose, pursued by dreams in the booming gold fields of the Amazon he will find it.

Christie's Arts and Crafts Style
Christie's Arts and Crafts Style, with new knowledge and previously unseen photographs, explores one of the most important periods of late nineteenth century design when craftsmanship and beauty were under threat from the mass production of the urban factory. Beginning with the Great Exhibition of 1851, which heralded the start of the Victorian age of mass-production, the book moves on to examine the birth of the Arts and Crafts movement, explaining the fundamental principles that governed it and showing how its champion, William Morris, inspired such a strong reaction against industrialism. The movement quickly spread to both Europe and America and the work of major contributors such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Comfort Tiffany and Bugatti are discussed in subsequent chapters with case studies of their particular work. The final section of the book concentrates on the diverse range of objects, from ceramics to furniture, glass to posters, which were influenced by the movement and analyses the new production techniques that were developed by artists during the period. In this authoritative guide, illustrated with 120 full colour photographs, Michael Jeffery, a Christie's specialist

My Worst Ideas
With dissonant black humor, Michael Jeffrey Lee explores a sense of dislocation and mounting unease in this new collection of dreamlike short stories. In the final story of Michael Jeffrey Lee's MY WORST IDEAS, a disembodied voice asks the narrator to write him a story. The voice asks the narrator to include "my jingle-jangle voice, my queer way with words. My general philosophy." Strange jingle-jangle voices fill Lee's new collection, mumbling to each other as the text, full of uncanny and unsettling repetitions, builds into a fugue. Lee's characters are unable to get comfortable; they don't feel at home in their cities, their relationships, or even their bodies. With dissonant black humor,...
