Píše se rok 1864 a Lizzie Martinová odjíždí z Londýna na pobřeží jižní Anglie, aby se stala společnicí Lucy Cravenové, dospívající dívky, která žije v ústraní se svými tetami a která nedávno přišla o malou dcerku. Na cestě se Lizzie setkává s doktorem Lefebrem, jenž má namířeno stejným směrem. Záhy vyjde najevo, že Lefebre je psychiatr najatý příbuznými mladé Lucy, jehož úkolem je zjistit, zda není mladá žena šílená. Lucy Cravenová totiž nevěří, že její dcerka zemřela, naopak je pevně přesvědčená o tom, že jí bylo dítě ukradeno. Situace se komplikuje. Lizzie slýchá pozdě v noci venku hlasy, objeví se statkář, jehož vystupování připadá Lucy nezvykle povědomé, a i když se ukáže, že je mladá žena poněkud náladová, blázen rozhodně není. Napětí vrcholí, když je na zahradě nalezen ubodaný muž. Lizzie tak nyní nezbývá nic jiného než požádat o pomoc svého milého, inspektora Benjamina Rosse…

Inspektora Scotland Yardu Benjamina Rosse si zavolá do věznice Newgate muž odsouzený k smrti. Ben neočekává, že by jeho svědectví mohl věřit. Ale vyprávění o vraždě, jíž byl tento muž před šestnácti lety svědkem, je natolik věrohodné, že se inspektor Ross neubrání otázce, zda na tom, co odsouzený muž říká, přece jen není kus pravdy. Na odložení popravy odsouzence je už pozdě, ale na vyšetřování vraždy, která zůstala po celá léta neodhalena, pozdě není, třebaže přesvědčit nadřízené, aby se Ross mohl věnovat „ztracenému případu“, se ukáže jako krajně obtížné. Benjaminova manželka Lizzie ho podporuje, aby ve svém úsilí nepolevoval, i když ví, že tím oba vstupují na nebezpečné území… „Čtenáři se mohou těšit na detektivní lahůdku.

The definitive biography that unlocks the remarkable story of Vivian Maier, the nanny who lived secretly as a world-class photographer, featuring nearly 400 of her images, many never seen before, placed for the first time in the context of her life.Vivian Maier, the photographer nanny whose work was famously discovered in a Chicago storage locker, captured the imagination of the world with her masterful images and mysterious life. Before posthumously skyrocketing to global fame, she had so deeply buried her past that even the families she lived with knew little about her. No one could relay where she was born or raised, if she had parents or siblings, if she enjoyed personal relationships, why she took photographs and why she didn't share them with others. Now, in this definitive biography, Ann Marks uses her complete access to Vivian's personal records and archive of 140,000 photographs to reveal the full story of her extraordinary life.Based on meticulous investigative research, Vivian Maier Developed reveals the story of a woman who fled from a family with a hidden history of illegitimacy, bigamy, parental rejection, substance abuse, violence, and mental illness to live life on her own terms. Left with a limited ability to disclose feelings and form relationships, she expressed herself through photography, creating a secret portfolio of pictures teeming with emotion, authenticity, and humanity. With limitless resilience she knocked down every obstacle in her way, determined to improve her lot in life and that of others by tirelessly advocating for the rights of workers, women, African Americans, and Native Americans. No one knew that behind the detached veneer was a profoundly intelligent, empathetic, and inspired woman-a woman so creatively gifted that her body of work would become one of the greatest photographic discoveries of the century.

We are also introduced to Henry Morton, a young and sharp warrior, idealistic in his spirit and strong in his resolve. His belief in justice might be the end of him, as he is forced down a path where he must forsake his one true love and all those he holds dear. This tale of a nation religiously divided is richly populated with stunning and emotive characters, nail-biting narration and insatiable intrigue.

It is a masterpiece.' - SpectatorFor over 300 years, Japan closed itself to outsiders, developing a remarkable and unique culture. During its period of isolation, the inhabitants of the city of Edo, later known as Tokyo, relied on its public bells to tell the time.

A scientist builds the most accurate clock in the world, a clock that will not lose a second in five billion years. A sculptor eats his father’s ashes while the head of the house of Tokugawa reflects on the destruction of his grandfather’s city (‘A lost thing is lost. To chase it leads to darkness’).The result is a book that not only engages with the striking otherness of Japanese culture like no other, but that also marks the arrival of a dazzling new writer as she presents an absorbing and alluring meditation on life through an exploration of a great city and its people.

With an Introduction by Kathryn White. 'He saw her wounded, and bleeding to death; saw her ashy countenance, and her wasting eyes ... turned piteously on himself, as if imploring him to save her from the fate that was dragging her to the grave...'Ann Radcliffe, author of The Romance of the Forest and The Mysteries of Udolpho, is the high priestess of the gothic novel.In The Italian, first published in 1797, she creates a chilling, atmospheric concoction of thwarted lovers, ruined abbeys, imprisonment and dark passages, with an undercurrent of seething sexuality and presents us with a cunning villain in the sinister monk Schedoni. A contemporary review commented on, 'Radcliffe's uncommon talent for exhibiting, with picturesque touches of genius, the vague and horrid shapes which imagination bodies forth...'Radcliffe's work was hugely influential and H.P. Lovecraft, early twentieth century master of the uncanny, was impressed by the, 'eerie touch of setting and action contributing artistically to the impression of illimitable frightfulness which she wished to convey.' The novel remains a fascinating, engrossing and unnerving masterpiece of gothic fiction.

A radical new account of how the idea of the West has shaped our history, told through the stories of fourteen fascinating lives.We tend to imagine Western Civilisation as a golden thread stretching from classical antiquity to the countries of the modern Western world.

A fascinating journey through Europe’s old towns, exploring why we treasure them—but also what they hide about a continent’s fraught history Historic quarters in cities and towns across the middle of Europe were devastated during the Second World War—some, like those of Warsaw and Frankfurt, had to be rebuilt almost completely. They are now centers of peace and civility that attract millions of tourists, but the stories they tell about places, peoples, and nations are selective. They are never the whole story. These old towns and their turbulent histories have been key sites in Europe’s ongoing theater of politics and war. Exploring seven old towns, from Frankfurt and Prague to Vilnius in Lithuania, the acclaimed writer Marek Kohn examines how they have been used since the Second World War to conceal political tensions and reinforce certain versions of history. Uncovering hidden stories behind these old and old-seeming façades, Kohn offers us a new understanding of the politics of European history-making—showing how our visits to old towns could promote belonging over exclusion, and empathy over indifference.
