But Henry's got more important things to do than sit on the beach and eat ice cream. He has a mystery to solve!

KGeneral Lexicons and Reference Works What are Kafka's stories about? Are they dreams? Allegories? Symbols? Things that happen every day? But where and when? Countless answers have been offered, but the question still arouses feelings of acute uncertainty. Many solutions have been proposed, but the essential mystery remains intact. In this remarkable book, Roberto Calasso sets out not to dispel the mystery but to let it be illuminated by its own light. To that end, with his unique vision, imagination, and intellectual acumen, Calasso attempts to enter the flow, the tortuous movement, the physiology of the stories to discover what they are meant to signify and to delve into the most basic question along the way: Who is K.?

Distant MusicNovels Narratives Anthologies The reader finds the first Esperanca in timeless fifteenth-century Madeira. It is Portugal's finest hour: her explorers are reporting that the world is not flat; Christopher Columbus is about to discover a whole new world. And Jewish scientists, map-makers and navigators are playing their part in this great outward-looking adventure. Esperanca longs to learn to read. Can her friend, the sailor, Emmanuel, help her discover her own new world in the holy books of the Hebrew tradition? The second Esperanca is a spoiled teenager in Faro, until she converts to the faith of Emmanuel, the printer. But this is 1492, and the Jews are about to be expelled from Portugal, with terrible suffering. The third Esperanca becomes involved in a murder-mystery in Byron's Lisbon. Who is the dark stranger who kills washerwomen as they cross the aqueduct at night? But her meddling destroys her gentle bookseller friend, the learned Emmanuel - a scapegoat, like so many innocent Jews throughout history. Finally, there is Hope, living among London's expat community in the Portuguese enclave of Vauxhall. Married to Dan, she is in love with Dan's brother, Mel. Hope is desperately searching for something - but what?

Billies KissFiction and Poetry With an Edwardian twist on The Tempest, and all the surprising, earthy and magical qualities of The Vintner's Luck, Knox's irresistible new novel is set on the remote, divided Scottish island of Kissack and Killing, one half of which looks historically and geographically towards Catholic Ireland, the other towards the Protestant north and Scandinavia. In the spring of 1903 a ship explodes as it docks on the island, drowning many of the passengers and crew in the icy waters of Stolnsay harbour. Young, strawberry-blond-haired Billie Paxton is among the only survivors. Clumsy, illiterate and suddenly alone, Billie will not say why, before the explosion, she jumped from ship to shore, and so falls under the immediate suspicion of her fellow passenger, Murdo Hesketh and his cousin and employer, Lord Hallowhulme, who owns the island - and has controversial plans for improving the lives of its inhabitants. Gloriously inventive and vividly atmospheric, Billie's Kiss conjures up a way of life hurtling towards a brave new world, in an enchanting novel that combines a strange, sexy love story with an Edwardian mystery, bringing together murder and eugenics, progress, prejudice and the loss of innocence.

Welcome To The World Baby GirlFiction and Poetry Sweeping from the gentler confines of late 1940s small town America to the tough side of the New York media circus in the '70s, it mines golden seams of prejudice and despair, love and survival, in the story of a young beautiful TV interviewer and anchorwoman, Dena Nordstrom, with an ulcer, a drink problem and an emotional hole at her centre (where the mother who abandoned her as a teenager should be). Her future looks golden, her present is an emotional mess, and her past is a mystery. WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY GIRL is a funny, touching and surprising novel that keeps you guessing and turning the page up to the last. There's a mystery - the truth about her mother - which is resolved in an intriguing twist right at the end. Another sure fire winner.
