    A CAPTIVATING JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD FROM THE CREATOR OF JAMES BOND 
    Ian Fleming’s world travels and interests, as well as his journalism and wartime experiences, lent authority to everything he wrote. In 1959, the Sunday Times commissioned Fleming to write a series of dispatches from the world’s most beguiling locales. The result was Thrilling Cities, a masterpiece of well-observed travelogue that stands ably alongside the author’s Bond canon. 
    From Hong Kong to Honolulu, New York to Naples, he left the bright main streets for the back alleys, abandoning tourist sites in favor of underground haunts, and mingling with celebrities, gangsters and geishas. The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a mysterious, vanished world from a twentieth century Western perspective. 
    Just like his most famous fictional creation, Ian Fleming was a well-traveled man of the world who knew where to go to find excitement, adventure…and danger. In Thrilling Cities, he takes us along on a journey of international intrigue worthy of James Bond.

    What if your love story ended not in romance—but in murder? 
    The Kreutzer Sonata is Leo Tolstoy’s explosive confession of a man undone by love. On a quiet train ride, a fellow passenger shares the dark tale of his marriage—one that spiraled from desire into mistrust, jealousy, and eventually, an unthinkable crime. 
    In this modern translation, Tolstoy’s intense meditation on passion, marriage, and morality is presented with emotional depth and gripping clarity. A powerful short novel that holds nothing back. 
    What You’ll Hear in This Adaptation: 
    - A deeply personal, psychological descent into obsessive jealousy and regret 
    - A bold critique of love, marriage, and sexual hypocrisy 
    - A modern, emotionally intense rendition of Tolstoy’s rawest novella 
    - A tale of moral struggle that asks: Can love survive truth? 
    Short in length but epic in its emotional and ethical impact, The Kreutzer Sonata will challenge what you think you know about love.

    We Come with This Place is a remarkable book, as rich, varied and surprising as the vast landscape in which it is set. Debra Dank has created an extraordinary mosaic of vivid episodes that move about in time and place to tell an unforgettable story of country and people. There is great pain in these pages, and anger at injustice, but also great love, in marriage and in family, and for the land. Dank faces head on the ingrained racism, born of brutal practice and harsh legislation, that lies always under the skin of Australia, the racism that calls a little Aboriginal girl names and beats and rapes and disenfranchises the generations before hers. She describes sudden terrible violence, between races and sometimes at home. But overwhelmingly this is a book about strong, beloved parents and grandparents, guiding and teaching their children and grandchildren what country means, about joyful gatherings and the pleasures of eating food provided by the place that nourishes them, both spiritually and physically.Dank calibrates human emotions with honesty and insight, and there is plenty of dry, down-to-earth humour. You can feel and smell and see the puffs of dust under moving feet, the ever-present burning heat, the bright exuberance of a night-time campfire, the emerald flash of a flock of budgerigars, the journeying wind, the harshness of a station shanty, the welcome scent of fresh water. We Come with This Place is deeply personal, a profound tribute to family and the Gudanji Country to which Debra Dank belongs, but it is much more than that. Here is Australia as it has been for countless generations, land and people in effortless balance, and Australia as it became, but also Australia as it could and should be.
