Death at Blenheim Palace
￥32.62
The eleventh title in The Victorian Mysteries series sure to delight fans of Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie. The marriage between the Duke of Marlborough and 17-year-old Consuelo Vanderbilt, the American railroad heiress, was the talk of two nations when it occurred in 1895. By 1903, the Duchess had produced the requisite heir-and-a-spare, and the Duke had taken a lover, the exotic, erotic Gladys Deacon. Kate and Charles are introduced to this uncomfortable menage-a-trois when they come to Blenheim Palace: Kate to work on a book about King Henry II and Fair Rosamund, said to have been poisoned there by Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Charles to follow the trail of a team of jewelry thieves. But the visit takes a disturbing turn when the hosts unwittingly begin to relive the legend...

The Classic Fairytales: Retold for the Stage
￥40.79
Three timeless tales retold for the stage by one of the UK’s most renowned writers of plays for children, Charles Way. Winner of the Writers Guild Best Children’s Play Award, his plays appeal to audiences of all ages and are translated into several languages and performed internationally. Each of the three plays explores the journey from childhood to adulthood, but each takes a specific angle. Sleeping Beauty is driven by the notion of duality. Everyone and everything in the play has a complimentary aspect; King and Queen, Castle and forest, bright witch and dark witch, etc. Gryff, half-dragon, half-human is the physical embodiment of the idea of duality and is at war with himself. This is both dramatic, since it provides the conflict needed for the drama, and thematically rich, since it explores what all of us, but more precisely children, feel as they grow up. Cinderella is a play about a journey from darkness to light, from sickness to health. Everyone in the play is under the influence of some kind of loss, and the play explores these feelings and the sometimes painful route one must take to accommodate them and move on in life. It’s a moving and beautiful play, that also manages to be tremendously funny and the introduction of Mozart as a character, whose music charts the whole journey toward light and joy, is a theatrical coup. Where Cinderella has music at its core, Beauty and the Beast has dance. This is a play about overcoming fear, and the subconscious world is represented through imagery and movement. The play begins with a startling dream sequence and then segues into the drawing-room world of a Jane Austen novel, before moving to the wilds of Dartmoor. Throughout this journey one is never sure if the play is in dreamtime or not, and Way connects this feeling to the very act of theatre itself. As ever, the themes are explored through dramatic action, and the result in Beauty and the Beast is a script of rare brevity that allows actors and directors room to explore the profound nature of the story.
The Scream
￥40.79
The story of a solitary soul living at the end of the world, continuing his daily routine of going to work in a toll booth on the highway. A terrible, mysterious sound that seems to come from nowhere is wiping out the population, and every day fewer and fewer people come by in their cars. But not everyone can hear the sound, and very soon the only survivors will be those few ‘silent ones’ left unharmed. What peculiar power does a stolen painting of Munch's The Scream exert? Why does reality become stranger and indeed crueller than fiction? The Scream begins in the twilight zone of science fiction, taking the reader on a hallucinatory road trip like no other.? Reviews "...?one of his most successful books.?It must be approached like the other books of Graff: do not ask too many question at first reading, be content with being carried away by the style and adventures of the protagonist.?In the end, you will discover that the depth of the book is inversely proportional to its number of pages.?As usual." ***** Goodreads “There is no doubt about it, the writer of?The Scream?is an extravagant and profound story teller.” -- Le Monde des Livres "Laurent Graff's books are crazy, weird, outlandish, which makes them totally indispensable." --www.event.fr "...blends together reality with fiction... what the narrator is really looking for is himself." -- Le Progres ABOUT THE AUTHOR Laurent Graff?is highly-acclaimed French author who ‘cultivates discretion and self-effacement’ and hopes to live as long as he can. His novel?Happy Days?has been translated into 15 languages and Johnny Depp has been trying (and failing) to make it into a film for many years.
