Lawrenson, Deborah.
The Art of Falling ++ FIRST EDITION ++
UK. Stamp Publishing. 2003 0954487915 / 9780954487911 First edition. First printing. Softcover. As new. Very fine.
This novel was republished by Random House UK in 2005 under the Arrow imprint, making this self-published edition highly collectable. Some reviewers are saying that this book is as good as De Berniere's Captain Correlli's Mandolin or Faulks's Birdsong. Will this be one of the greatest novels of the 21st century?SYNOPSIS - A woman falls from a balcony in Pisa. When Isabel travels to Petriano for a ceremony to honour her war hero father Tom, she discovers that she is caught up in the tragic consequences of the accident. In the burnt and unstable landscapes of Umbria, Isabel finds echoes of Tom's past in her present that lead to the truth about his disappearance twenty years ago. As she finds a trail through his obsession with the famous leaning tower, she falls in love with a man who shares that passion - and comes to understand the flaws that tip the balance in all their lives, from the dark events of 1945, to a love affair that cannot be forgotten.

Roberto Bolano
2666 UK First Edition + Promotional Bookmark
United Kingdom Picador 2009 0330447424 / 9780330447423 First edition, first printing Hardcover New, fine New, fine Un-signed
First edition, first printing with full numberline 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Only weeks after it's release, this epic was already into its 5th printing with firsts becoming increasingly hard to find.
Also included is a 2666 promotional bookmark.
Synopsis
Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border, is an urban sprawl that draws in lost souls. Among them are three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; and a police detective in love with an elusive older woman. But there is darker side still to the town. It is an emblem of corruption, violence and decadence, and one from which, over the course of a decade, hundreds of women have mysteriously, often brutally, disappeared.Told in five parts, "2666" is the epic novel that defines one of Latin America's greatest writers and his unique vision of the modern world. Conceived on an astonishing scale, and - in the last years of Roberto Bolano's life - with burning, visionary commitment, it has been greeted across Europe and Latin America as his masterpiece, surpassing even his previous work in inventiveness, imagination, beauty and scope. 'A tour de force - though the phrase seems hardly adequate to describe the novel's narrative velocity, polyphonic range, inventiveness, and bravery' - "New York Review of Books". 'One of the giants of the post-Marquez era' - "Sunday Telegraph". 'One of the greatest and most influential modern writers' - James Wood.
