Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the 1982 Nobel Prize for Literature and author of One Hundred Years of Solitude, started his literary career with the publication of The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor . . . 'On February 22 we were told that we would be returning to Columbia' In 1955 eight crew members of Caldas, a Colombian destroyer, were swept overboard. Velasco alone survived, drifting on a raft for ten days without food or water. Marquez retells the survivor's amazing tale of endurance, from his loneliness and thirst to his determination to survive. The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor was Marquez's first major work, published in a Colombian newspaper, El Espectador, in 1955 and then in book form in 1970. 'The story of Velasco on his raft, his battle with sharks over a succulent fish, his hallucinations, his capture of a seagull which he was unable to eat, his subsequent droll rescue, has all the grip of archetypal myth. Reads like an epic' Independent 'A master storyteller' Daily Mail 'Garcia Marquez is a retailer of wonders' Sunday Times

This story is based on one found on a papyrus scroll of hieroglyphs from the nineteenth century B.C., Egypt. It tells the tale of a voyage on the Red Sea to a mysterious and enchanted land of riches located south of Egypt. On his way to the King's gold mines, a sailor is shipwrecked on a magic island, the Island of the Soul. Not long after he arrives, a gigantic serpent with scales of gold appears and reveals to the sailor that he is the Prince of Punt, and is also a lone survivor. The two become good friends, but one day a ship comes to rescue the sailor. Bearing gifts from the Prince, the sailor returns to Egypt with full hands, and a full heart. This is a tale of the surprising (and fortuitous) bonds that unite us, and of the good that comes to us when we least expect it. Tamara Bower's lush illustrations are rendered in Egyptian style, and phrases from the story appear in hieroglyphs with their literal translations.

An act of treason reverberates from Indonesia to the British Embassy in this thriller of political espionage from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Alive. After an appalling act of sedition results in the mass slaughter of Indonesian guerillas in the jungles of Borneo, suspicion of treason falls on charismatic Cambridge graduate Willy Ludley. A brilliant junior diplomat at the British Embassy in Jakarta, Ludley has disappeared to the South of France. Simon Milson, an old friend, is enlisted to find him and extract a confession. Not a formal investigation, he reasons. Perhaps more like a game. But when Milson arrives at Ludley’s villa in Nice, he’s startled to find more players than he anticipated, each with an unknowable agenda: Ludley’s tormented but devoted wife; a closeted gay friend from Cambridge and his grossly flirtatious new American fiancée; and a teenage runaway who has mysteriously attached herself to all of them. Over the next couple of days, as loyalties shift, sexual temptations become a weapon, and betrayals are exposed, the truth behind a treasonous act will be just one more revelation at the Villa Golitsyn. “As if a story dreamed up by Eugene O’Neill had been dramatized by John le Carré,” The Villa Golitsyn is part espionage novel, part thriller, and part tale of political and sexual intrigue (TheNew York Times). It delivers, above all, “a tightly woven story of jealousy that holds the attention to the very end” (The Sunday Times).
