Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand..

 

Chronicling an incredible unsolved murder, Midnight in Peking captures the aftermath of the brutal killing of a British schoolgirl in January 1937.

The mutilated body of Pamela Werner was found at the base of the Fox Tower, which, according to local superstition, is home to the maliciously seductive fox spirits.

As British detective Dennis and Chinese detective Han investigate, the mystery only deepens and, in a city on the verge of invasion, rumor and superstition run rampant.

Based on seven years of research by historian and China expert Paul French, this true crime thriller presents readers with a rare and unique portrait of the last days of colonial Peking.

Forest of Memories: Tales from the Heart of Africa

by Donald Macintosh.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand..

 

As a child, Donald MacIntosh's heroine was Mary Kingsley, a nineteenth-century traveler who successfully took on the forbidding forests and swamps of West Africa.

It was an adventure he was to follow for much of his adult life, spending thirty years as a forester in the so-called 'white man's grave'.

MacIntosh, however, more than lived to tell his tales, which he does so here with characteristic gusto and relish.

As always, they are rich with characters and humor.

Welcomed with open arms, derided as a pig-ignorant tourist and occasionally mocked mercilessly for his trouble, the author visited the last flag-flying outposts of the British Empire.

This book sets out to discover just exactly who would choose to live on islands as remote as these and more importantly, try to figure out exactly why.

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

From the author of M and A Death in Brazil comes Midnight in Sicily.

 

South of mainland Italy lies the island of Sicily, home to an ancient culture that with its stark landscapes, glorious coastlines, and extraordinary treasure troves of art and archeology, has seduced travelers for centuries.

But at the heart of the island's rare beauty is a network of violence and corruption that reaches into every corner of Sicilian life: Cosa Nostra, the Mafia.

Peter Robb lived in southern Italy for over fourteen years and recounts its sensuous pleasures, its literature, politics, art, and crimes.

Homesickness: by Murray Bail.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

The wildly funny novel, never published before in the United States, that put Murray Bail on the literary map.

 

Thirteen men and women on a package tour travel the world, visiting museums, hotels, and shops.

They are like tourists anywhere, except that wherever they go Africa, England, South America, New York, or Russia-they find nothing is as it seems.

Challenged by unexpected propositions, differences, and subtleties of life and history, Murray Bail's tourists are in turn repelled, attracted, altered.

As the Nobel laureate Patrick White put it, Homesickness, with its "tourists permanently traipsing through the museums of their own obsessions," is the work of "a visual writer with great understanding of sensual man."

It is surely one of the most distinctive, original Australian novels of recent times.

Brothers by Yu Hua, & Eileen Cheng-yin Chow.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

A bestseller in China, recently short-listed for the Man Asian Literary Prize, and a winner of France’s Prix Courrier International, Brothers is an epic and wildly unhinged black comedy of modern Chinese society running amok.

 

Here is China as we’ve never seen it, in a sweeping, Rabelaisian panorama of forty years of rough and tumble Chinese history that has already scandalized millions of readers in the author’s homeland.

Yu Hua, award winning author of To Live, gives us a surreal tale of two brothers riding the dizzying roller coaster of life in a newly capitalist world.

As comically mismatched teenagers, Baldy Li, a sex obsessed ne’er do well, and Song Gang, his bookish, sensitive stepbrother, vow that they will always be brothers, a bond they will struggle to maintain over the years as they weather the ups and downs of rivalry in love and making and losing millions in the new China.

Their tribulations play out across a richly populated backdrop that is every bit as vibrant: the rapidly changing village of Liu Town, full of such lively characters as the self important Poet Zhao, the craven dentist Yanker Yu, the virginal town beauty (turned madam) Lin Hong, and the simpering vendor Popsicle Wang.

 

With sly and biting humor, combined with an insightful and compassionate eye for the lives of ordinary people, Yu Hua shows how the madness of the Cultural Revolution has transformed into the equally rabid madness of extreme materialism.

Both tragic and absurd by turns, Brothers is a monumental spectacle and a fascinating vision of an extraordinary place and time.

An Indian Odyssey by Martin Buckley.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

The Ramayana, the Journey of Rama is India's best loved book, an inspiration to school-children, monks and moviemakers, yet it is virtually unknown in the Western world.

The story of Rama, an exiled prince searching savage jungles for his kidnapped wife, it mixes Homer's Odyssey with Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

It is an ancient epic, at once violent, spiritual and erotic.

Yet it also lies at the heart of India's fiercest modern controversy, the Hindu / Muslim clash that has claimed 13,000 lives since 1992.

 

When Martin Buckley first encountered the Ramayana twenty five years ago, it seemed a key to unlocking the myriad mysteries of Indian life.

He dreamed of retracing the journey of the blue skinned warrior god from his birthplace in North India to the climax of his confrontation with evil in Sri Lanka.

Buckley's own physical and spiritual odyssey, a sometimes perilous passage through India by motorbike, microlight, bus and train, offers unique and passionate insights into the heart of India, ancient and modern.

nside the Kingdom by Robert Lacey.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

Saudi Arabia is a country defined by paradox: it sits atop some of the richest oil deposits in the world, and yet the country's roiling disaffection produced sixteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers.

It is a modern state, driven by contemporary technology, and yet its powerful religious establishment would have its customs and practices rolled back to match those of the Prophet Muhammad over a thousand years ago.

In a world where events in the Middle East continue to have geopolitical consequences far beyond the region's boundaries, an understanding of this complex nation is essential.

 

With Inside the Kingdom, British journalist and bestselling author Robert Lacey has given us one of the most penetrating and insightful looks at Saudi Arabia ever produced.

More than twenty years after he first moved to the country to write about the Saudis at the end of the oil boom, Lacey has returned to find out how the consequences of the boom produced a society at war with itself.

 

Filled with stories told by a broad range of Saudis, from high princes and ambassadors to men and women on the street, Inside the Kingdom is in many ways the story of the Saudis in their own words.

It was a simple idea, the kind all of us have had at one time or another.

Take a series of ships of different sizes and kinds, go where they lead and see what happens.

Inspired by great sea writers like Jack London, Herman Melville and Joseph Conrad, Gavin Young decided he would port hop to some far destination on the other side of the world.

The end of the line would be China.

The Collapse of Chaos: Discovering Simplicity in a Complex World. by Jack Cohen & Ian Stewart.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

The Collapse of Chaos is the first post chaos, post complexity book, a groundbreaking inquiry into how simplicity in nature is generated from chaos and complexity.

Rather than asking science's traditional question of how to break the world down into its simplest components, Jack Cohen and Ian Stewart ask something much more interesting: why does simplicity exist at all?

Their story combines chaos and complexity and surprisingly, derives simplicity from the interaction of the two.

The Collapse of Chaos is composed of two parts.

The first half is a witty primer, a guided tour of the islands of Truth that have been mapped out by conventional science.

This section provides a streamlined and accessible introduction to the central areas of modern science, including cosmology, quantum mechanics, the arrow of time, biological development, evolution, and consciousness.

The unorthodox and adventurous second half dives into the Oceans of Ignorance that surround what is known.

Educated by the first half to appreciate the subtler issues in the second, the reader is introduced to a novel and even heretical world where unconventional possibilities are explored through conversations with characters such as the Victorian computer scientist Augusta Ada Lovelace and for the more outlandish scenarios, the alien inhabitants of the planet Zarathustra.

Voyageur: Across the Rocky Mountains in a Birchbark Canoe

by Robert Twigger.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.'

 

Fifteen years before Lewis and Clark, Scotsman Alexander Mackenzie, looking to open up a trade route, set out from Lake Athabasca in central Northern Canada in search of the Pacific Ocean.

Mackenzie travelled by bark canoe and had a cache of rum and a crew of Canadian voyageurs, hard living backwoodsmen, for company.

Two centuries later, Robert Twigger decides to follow in Mackenzie's wake.

He too travels the traditional way, having painstakingly built a canoe from birchbark sewn together with pine roots, and assembled a crew made up of fellow travelers, ex tree planters and a former sailor from the US Navy.

Several had tried before them but they were the first people to successfully complete Mackenzie's diabolical route over the Rockies in a birchbark canoe since 1793.

Their journey takes them to the remotest parts of the wilderness, through Native American reservations, over mountains, through rapids and across lakes, meeting descendants of Mackenzie and unhinged Canadian trappers, running out of food, getting lost and miraculously found again, disfigured for life (the ex-sailor loses his thumb), bears brown and black, docile and grizzly.

Dispatches from the Edge: A Memoir of War, Disasters, and Survival by Anderson Cooper.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.'.

 

Few people have witnessed more scenes of chaos and conflict around the world than Anderson Cooper, whose groundbreaking coverage on CNN has changed the way we watch the news.

In this gripping, candid, and remarkably powerful memoir, he offers an unstinting, up close view of the most harrowing crises of our time, and the profound impact they have had on his life.

 

After growing up on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Cooper felt a magnetic pull toward the unknown, an attraction to the far corners of the earth.

If he could keep moving, and keep exploring, he felt he could stay one step ahead of his past, including the fame surrounding his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, and the tragic early deaths of his father and older brother.

As a reporter, the frenetic pace of filing dispatches from war-torn countries, and the danger that came with it, helped him avoid having to look too closely at the pain and loss that was right in front of him.

 

But recently, during the course of one extraordinary, tumultuous year, it became impossible for him to continue to separate his work from his life, his family's troubled history from the suffering people he met all over the world.

From the tsunami in Sri Lanka to the war in Iraq to the starvation in Niger and ultimately to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and Mississippi, Cooper gives us a firsthand glimpse of the devastation that takes place, both physically and emotionally, when the normal order of things is violently ruptured on such a massive scale.

Cooper had been in his share of life-threatening situations before ducking fire on the streets of war-torn Sarajevo, traveling on his own to famine stricken Somalia, witnessing firsthand the genocide in Rwanda, but he had never seen human misery quite like this.

Writing with vivid memories of his childhood and early career as a roving correspondent, Cooper reveals for the first time how deeply affected he has been by the wars, disasters, and tragedies he has witnessed, and why he continues to be drawn to some of the most perilous places on earth.

 

Striking, heartfelt, and utterly engrossing, Dispatches from the Edge is an unforgettable memoir that takes us behind the scenes of the cataclysmic events of our age and allows us to see them through the eyes of one of America's most trusted, fearless, and pioneering reporters.

Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world.

This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids.

Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest.

No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path.

But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within.

Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

A Passage to Africa by George Alagiah.

 

Traded In pre-Songkran @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

As a five-year-old, George Alagiah emigrated with his family to Ghana, the first African country to attain independence from the British Empire.

A Passage to Africa is Alagiah's shattering catalogue of atrocities crafted into a portrait of Africa that is infused with hope, insight, and outrage.

In vivid and evocative prose and with a fine eye for detail, Alagiah's viewpoint is spiked with the freshness of the young George on his arrival in Ghana, the wonder with which he recounts his first impressions of Africa, and the affection with which he dresses his stories of his early family life.

A sense of possibility lingers, even though the book is full of uncomfortable truths.

It is a book neatly balanced on his integrity and sense of obligation in his role as a writer and reporter.

Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

Marnie Logan often feels like she's being watched: a warm breath on the back of her neck, or a shadow in the corner of her eye that vanishes when she turns her head.

 

She has reason to be frightened.

Her husband Daniel has inexplicably vanished, and the police have no leads in the case.

Without proof of death or evidence of foul play, she can't access his bank accounts or his life insurance.

Depressed and increasingly desperate, she seeks the help of clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin.

 

O'Loughlin is concerned by Marnie's reluctance to talk about the past and anxious to uncover what Marnie is withholding that could help with her treatment.

The breakthrough in Marnie's therapy and Daniel's disappearance arrives when Marnie shares with O'Loughlin her discovery of the Big Red Book, a collage of pictures, interviews, and anecdotes from Marnie's friends and relatives that Daniel had been compiling as part of a surprise birthday gift.

 

Daniel's explorations into Marnie's past led him to a shocking revelation on the eve of his disappearance: Anyone who has ever gotten close to Marnie has paid an exacting price.

A cold blooded killer is eliminating the people in Marnie's life, and now that O'Laughlin is a part of it, he is next in line.

Moody: The Life and Crimes of Britain's Most Notorious Hitman

by Wensley Clarkson.

 

Traded In today @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

Moody is the gripping biography of a criminal whose career spanned more than four decades and included encounters with Jack Spot, Billy Hill, Mad Frankie Fraser, the Krays, the Richardsons and the IRA.

Jimmy Moody became the number one enforcer for the Richardsons and tasted his first 'kill' all before he'd reached 30 years of age.

In the 1970', he joined a team of criminals to form the Chainsaw Gang, who went on to become that decade's most successful armed robbers.

In 1980, Moody was in Brixton Prison awaiting trial for his pivotal role with the gang, when his life took its next dramatic twist.

One of his fellow inmates was Provisional IRA hero Gerard Tuite and the two men joined forces with a third inmate to pull off a dramatic jailbreak.

Moody was never recaptured.

While on the run, he became intrigued by Tuite's stories of brutality and torture inflicted on the Irish by the British.

Soon, Moody's murderous skills were being put to use in Northern Ireland.

His secretive freelance hits on behalf of the Provos struck so much fear into the province's security services that the Thatcher government put a three-man SAS hit squad on his tail.

Moody's victims were chillingly referred to as having been awarded an O.B.E. (One Behind the Ear).

But while security forces in Northern Ireland searched for Moody, he'd actually set himself up in a flat in South London with a new identity.

Moody believed his reputation as a hired killer would keep him one step ahead of trouble .......

Last of the Amazons by Steven Pressfield.

 

Traded In recently @ Canterbury Tales Bookshop / Book exchange / Cafe / Guesthouse, Pattaya, Thailand.

 

The author of the international bestsellers Gates of Fire and Tides of War delivers his most gripping and imaginative novel of the ancient world, a stunning epic of love and war that breathes life into the grand myth of the ferocious female warrior culture of the Amazons.

 

Steven Pressfield has gained a passionate worldwide following for his magnificent novels of ancient Greece, Gates of Fire and Tides of War.

In Last of the Amazons, Pressfield has surpassed himself, re creating a vanished world in a brilliant novel that will delight his loyal readers and bring legions more to his singular and powerful restoration of the past.

 

In the time before Homer, the legendary Theseus, King of Athens (an actual historical figure), set sail on a journey that brought him into the land of tal Kyrte, the “free people,” a nation of proud female warriors whom the Greeks called “Amazons.” The Amazons, bound to each other as lovers as well as fighters, distrusted the Greeks, with their boastful talk of “civilization.”

So when the great war Queen Antiope fell in love with Theseus and fled with the Greeks, the mighty Amazon nation rose up in rage.

 

Last of the Amazons is not merely a masterful tale of war and revenge.

Pressfield has created a cast of extraordinarily vivid characters, from the unforgettable Selene, whose surrender to the Greeks does nothing to tame her; to her lover, Damon, an Athenian warrior who grows to cherish the wild Amazon ways; to the narrator, Bones, a young girl from a noble family who was nursed by Selene from birth and secretly taught the Amazon way; to the great Theseus, the tragic king; and to Antiope, the noble Queen who betrayed tal Kyrte for the love of Theseus.

 

With astounding immediacy and extraordinary attention to military detail, Pressfield transports readers into the heat and terror of war.

Equally impressive is his creation of the Amazon nation, its people, its rituals and myths, its greatness and savagery.

Last of the Amazons is thrilling on every page, an epic tale of the clash between wildness and civilization, patriotism and love, man and woman.
