Le Carre John Pseud. David John Moore Cornwell
A Small Town in Germany
London: Heinemann 1968 "Only the Foreign Office" a junior diplomat remarks "could have sent a bull to catch a matador." The bull is Alan Turner a rough-necked rough-mouthed lovable misfit from Foreign Office Security; the matador is Leo Harting a middle-aged Second Secretary from the British Embassy in Bonn "a sprite weightless as the dark slipping through the shadows as if they were a net". This is the man who after twenty years of apparently loyal service to the Crown has vanished taking with him official files hot enough to frustrate or indeed compromise the entire British position at the negotiating table at Brussels where a faltering British Government is making a desperate last attempt to save the national economy and get into the Common Market. In this atmosphere of approaching crisis Alan Turner therefore is despatched from London to find Harting. "Which do they want" he asks "The man or the files" Gradually it becomes clear that one is not enough without the other." Previous owner's book plate of ffep else fine. 1st UK Ed. Hard Cover.

Wolfert Paula
The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean : 215 HealthyVibrant and Inspired Recipes
New York: HarperCollins 1994 Comprehensive informed and fascinating survey of ingredients food traditions and recipes from all around the Eastern Mediterranean includes Greece & Turkey "The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean refers both Paula Wolfert's love of great food and the pioneering spirit that has inspired her to travel across the globe many times over in search of the world's best recipes. In all of her remarkable books she delves with tireless enthusiasm into her research and writing ensuring each recipe's authenticity and accessibility. In The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean she brings readers and cooks into the kitchens that produce the healthy home cooking that is the trademark of such lands as Macedonian Turkey Syria and the countries on the Black Sea. Wolfert's food dazzles the palate. Her book begins with recipes for sauces and dips including two walnut and pomegranate sauces; soups include Anatolian Sour Soup and Macedonian "Green Cream." Meat poultry and fish dishes include eleven varities of kibbeh Duck with Quinces and Skewered Swordfish. Her sumptuous recipes for vegetables and grains--stuffed eggplants pilafs and pomegranate-flavored vegetables to name a few--reflect the bounty and healthful eating patterns of the Eastern Mediterranean. Wolfert's Middle Eastern grain salads are healthy and rich with flavor. Paula travels into the kitchens of native cooks to ensure that her recipes are as genuine as they are delicious. She takes us into the home of a friend in the Republic of Georgia whose mother teaches Wolfert how to prepare Chicken Tabaka; to a mountain village in northern Greece where with a sister food writer she searches for fine cheese to complete a savory pie; and to a farm in Turkey where the country's best bread baker tells her secrets of baking unleavened flat griddle bread. These delicious authentic recipes focus on the healthy eating patterns for which the Eastern Mediterranean is increasingly being recognized. Wolfert's recipes are as delightful to read as they are to use. Armchair cooks and travelers will be moved by the descriptive geography and resonate personal stories Paula Wolfert relates along with her fabulous dishes. Wolfert's expertise is renowned among food lovers amateur and professional and her joy of discovering new ways to prepare food is infectious to her many devoted readers."429p. illus.index. 1st.US Edition.

Probert Philomen
A New Short Guide to the Accentuation of Ancient Greek
Bristol: Bristol Classical Press 2003 The original aim of this book was to provide an updated reprint of J.P. Postgate's "Short Guide to the Accentuation of Ancient Greek" 1924. It has developed considerably during the preparation still including what was most useful in Postgate but now incorporating much additional material and information based on the latest scholarship. It is intended for those who have already learned some Greek but who wish to acquaint themselves with the workings of the accent system either for the first time or by way of revision. An introductory part outlines clearly the evidence for our knowledge of Greek accentuation and quotes some of our ancient sources for the sound of the accent. The remainder of the book is designed to facilitate the learning of the accents themselves. Exercises are included throughout. Softcover. New. Bristol Classical Press unknown

Between 1492 in fact and 1912 the Jewish community was the largest of all ethnic communities living here. This thriving community set the tone of Ottoman Thessaloniki making it known as the most famous Jewish city in the world widely referred to as the Jerusalem of the Balkans. Visitors now coming for the first time to Thessaloniki encounter a basically Byzantine city because historical events such as the devastating fire that destroyed most of the Jewish monuments in 1917 and the annihilation of the Jewish community during the German occupation erased the city's Jewish character. Reconstruction after the end of World War II which reached its peak in the 1960s made the few remaining traces of the two thousand year Jewish presence in the Macedonian capital even less evident. This informative small book provides a clear image of the community's long vibrant history; has short biographies of a few of the community's leading members; and describes with pictures the major remaining buildings members of the community constructed. It enables foreign and local visitors to discover even in part the surviving traces of the Jewish and multi-cultural nature of Thessaloniki."

Nobody believes Gaia"s story that a relation wants to kill her - and neither does he. Beset by his own family troubles by his new responsibilities as Procurator of the Sacred Poultry and by the continuing search for a new partner he turns her away. Immediately he regrets it. Gaia has been selected as the new Vestal Virgin and when she disappears Falco is officially asked to investigate - closely watched by Titus Caesar whose new ladylove Berenice is under suspicion from scandalmongers and by his two ex-partners Petronius and Anacrites who both have personal reasons to hope he will slip up. Aelianus the resentful brother of Falco"s girlfriend Helena is also aiming to join the establishment. In the Sacred Grove of the Arval Brothers Aelianus stumbles on a gruesome corpse which then disappears. He too asks Falco for advice and as their delicate enquiries proceed among Rome"s most ancient and influential cults it becomes clear that the murder its obvious cover-up and the fate of the missing child may all be mysteriously linked. Finding Gaia is then a race against time ending in Falco"s most terrifying exploit yet. ". 1st UK Ed. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Century hardcover
