Elizabeth Speller Boeken

Beyond the breathtaking beauty of the Parthenon, Athens is still one of Europe’s lesser-known cities. A New Guide fully explores all the treasures of this ancient city?the bazaars and food markets of Monastiraki; tiny tucked-away Byzantine churches and rare gems of antiquity; the converted warehouses of the increasingly fashionable Psirri and Thiso; and perhaps the most beautiful metro station in the world at Syntagma, a fantasy of shimmering reflections and a showcase for recent archaeology. From its amber shops and patisseries, to one of the most outstanding museums in Europe, Athens is a true source of riches. Written for both the first-time visitor as well as the seasoned Hellenophile, this discerning guide also includes an up-to-date selection of cafés, restaurants, and hotels. Elizabeth Speller read Archeology and Classics at Cambridge, where she is currently a Visiting Scholar.

London, just after WW1, but the men and women caught up in the battle have not yet found peace * 'Covering death, poetry, a bitter regimental feud and a hidden love affair, it's set to be the new BIRDSONG - only better' INDEPENDENT

Da John Emmet kom tilbake fra Frankrike etter krigens slutt, hadde både moren og søsteren vært bekymret for hans mentale tilstand. Han lider av granatsjokk, noe som gjør ham aggressiv og voldsom. Han blir plassert på et pleiehjem, men stikker etter en stund av og blir funnet død i et skogholt i nærheten. Laurence Bertram påtar seg motstrebende rollen som detektiv og undersøker omstendighetene rundt sin venns død. Ifølge forlaget kan boken leses som en historisk kriminalroman, men den er også en interessant studie av krigens virkninger på den enkelte og deres familier. Omtalen er utarbeidet av BS.
