(P/B) THE SPIRITUAL MEADOW
"A young man arrives on a Greek island to take up a teaching position, but what follows is a surreal allegory in which the island sinks beneath the sea, he becomes a Byzantine monk, and famous figures from the past shoot it out in the school assembly hall. Written during the Colonel's dictatorship and first published in 1974, this strange novel provides a highly unorthodox lesson in Greek history." - Scotland on Sunday...

(P/B) THE GREEN FACE
"Of the volumes available to the English public, The Green Face, first published in 1916, is the most enjoyable. In an Amsterdam that very much resembles the Prague of The Golem, a stranger, Hauberisser, enters by chance a magician's shop. The name on the shop, he believes, is Chidher Green; inside, among several strange customers, he hears an old man, who says his name is Green, explain that, like the Wandering Jew, he has been on earth 'ever since the moon has been circling the heaven.' When Hauberisser catches sight of the old man's fac...

(P/B) D'ALAMBERT'S PRINCIPLE
Memory, Reason and Imagination provide the theme of Andrew Crumey's fascinating historical triptych, which evokes the richness of eighteenth century Europe. A celebrated scientist looks back on his life, the splendour of the Paris salons, and his unrequited love for the woman who spent years deceiving him. An exiled Jacobite dreams of journeying to the planets, and in a prison cell two unlikely captives discuss love, language and fate. Like the movements of an elegant musical suite, these three interlocking stories form an allegory of huma...
