On a sweltering ocean-liner travelling from India to Europe a passenger tells his story: the tale of a doctor in the Dutch East Indies torn between his duty & the pull of his emotions; a tale of power & desire, pride & shame & a headlong flight into folly. This is one the most intense & incisive of the novellas which brought Stefan Zweig to worldwide fame. ...

An adventure story of real risk-taking & the heroic age of travel. Ten years ago, at the age of 53, Shelby Tucker set out to cross Burma on foot from China to India when land access to Burma was forbidden. Tucker had a rucksack, a diary & some inaccurate maps. He recruited a 6ft 4in Swede, Mats, whom he had met on the train to Beijing. Near the beginning of their walk through the jungle they encountered a group of naked boys bathing -- they realized too late that their Chinese Army uniforms were on the banks. With typical sangfroid, Tucker leapt in to join them, shouting incomprehensible English greetings! Before long they were in the hands of the Kachin Independence Army & managed to survive many near misses with the Burmese Army. Despite pain & constant danger, Tucker recorded each day the vivid beauty of the country, & the courtesy & hospitality of the Kachins (the most important of Burma`s hidden colonies, about whom very little has been written). Among Insurgents was Colin Thubron`s Book of the Year, The Guardian`s number 1 travel hardback & the Sunday Times` number 2. It recevied warm acclaim from Anthony Sattin (`packed with insights into tribal identity & the opium trade`), Robert Carver (`outstandingly well written in the insouciant Peter Fleming tradition`), Sara Wheeler (`a thrilling book`) & it must surely be shortlised for the Thomas Cook Award. ...

Amnesia

When Gaby Bailleux released the Angel Worm into Australia`s prison system, allowing hundreds of asylum seekers to walk free, she also let the cat out of the bag. The Americans ran the prisons, like so many parts of her country, and so the doors of some 5000 American places of incarceration also opened. Both countries` secrets threatened to pour out. Was this a mistake, or had Gaby declared cyberwar on the US? Felix Moore - known to himself as `Australia`s last serving left wing journalist` - has no doubt. Her act was part of the covert conflict between Australia and America. That conflict dates back to the largely forgotten Battle of Brisbane in 1943, stretches forward to America`s security interests in Pine Gap and commercial interests everywhere, and has as its most outrageous act
the coup of 1975. Funded by his property-developer mate Woody Townes, Felix is going to write Gaby`s biography, to save her, and himself, and maybe his country. But how to get Gaby to co-operate? What role does her film-star mother have to play? And what, after all, does Woody really want?
