Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Victor Neuburg on June 11 1936 with the poet he discovered, Dylan Thomas. They embark on a quest whose object is Neuburg's old master, the Great Beast 666; settings, the Surrealist Exhibition, and pubs and clubs of bohemian London; characters, Augustus John, Nina Hamnett and Tom Driberg. Neuburg confronts his demons; Crowley does too. They also meet something far more menacing: MI5's plot to avert the Abdication.Extract : Dylan was standing by the bookcase squinting at the titles. He had grown a little plumper in the year since Vicky had seen him but was still cherubic, his nest of curls tousled, though not by wind, for it was one of those temperate days in early June when London flings off its overcoat and apes Marseilles. Instead, his unshaven chin, bloodshot eyes and rumpled blue check suit, with the telltale bulge in the right-hand pocket, spoke of a night of it. Nevertheless, something in his look seemed haunted by more than drink.'Do you think a man can read another's mind, Vicky ' he demanded, without preamble, in that singsong voice in which only the lilt was Welsh. 'I was in the Swiss last night, in cahoots with this Polish girl I'd met at Pop Kleinfield's. We had put back a few, and she was laying into me something chronic. I had heard that sort of guff before, so I just stood there doodling on the bar. I noticed a man sitting in the gloom. He was staring up at me. Large fellow, thickset, looked like a stockbroker, apart from his head, which was shaven, oh, and the hands, which were very dainty. In one, he was miffing a brandy; with the other, deliberately, as though he wanted me to notice, he took a pen from his jacket and began drawing on a napkin. The cheeky bugger's mimicking me, I thought.''Shaven head, you say' said Vicky, trying unsuccessfully to conceal his excitement.'Apart that is from a little horn of hair, which I noticed when he lumbered over like an eclipse and tried to hypnotise me with the pin on his swaying tie. It was a large ebony brooch, bearing the head of a stork-like bird with a long bill curved like a boomerang. Moreover, did he stink! There was this cloying scent like cheap perfume. 'I think we artists should compare productions,' he wheezed, and waved his drawing under my nose. Bugger me black if he hadn't drawn the same as me!'--------------------------------------Praise for: 'McNeff's novel is so different from anything else you'd normally find on a bookshelf that it should perhaps be a compulsory purchase.'Independent On SundayTo use Aleister Crowley in a work of 'faction' is brave indeed. Just his name casts a spell over the page Richard McNeff has faced up to the task with aplomb and realistically recreates him in all his bizarre, mesmerizing complexity.'Martin Booth, author of Aleister Crowley: A LifeFrom Snoo Wilson: 'Full of fascinating nuggets.Neuburg's crisis of identity with AC is very well observed.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On 21 May 1941, Ian Fleming of Naval Intelligence lunches with Aleister Crowley in Mayfair. Crowley has offered to interview Rudolf Hess, who has been captured near Dungavel, the Duke of Hamilton's Scottish estate, eleven days before. Their shared affinity for the occult will enable the Beast to draw out the German's secrets. Fleming agrees and gives the Beast the 1939-41 diary of Albrecht Haushofer, Hess's principal adviser. This gives the background to the deputy führer's flight and describes the involvement of Karl Ernst Krafft, a Swiss astrologer, who has an uncanny knack of making accurate predictions.On 1 February 1945, Crowley moves to Netherwood, a boarding house in Hastings. Will, the teenage handyman, intends to become a Catholic priest but is distracted by a maid called Maria. Crowley tutors him in Latin. Left alone in Crowley's room, Will stumbles on a file that describes the Beast's wartime encounter with Hess. It is called the 'Z' File, 'Z' being Hess's codename. Crowley has capitalised on his resemblance to Churchill and deceived Hess into believing he is the prime minister. Hess reveals the date of the attack on Russia.Several visitors come to Netherwood to see the Beast: Dion Fortune; Frieda Lady Harris, creator of the Thoth Tarot paintings; a female Oxford professor researching a book on the characteristics of a magician; John Symonds, his future biographer; and a pupil of Crowley called Maxwell Knight. Knight is, in fact, the spymaster 'M' who runs a division of MI5.A Hungarian professor and his wife come to stay at Netherwood. They are Soviet agents hunting the 'Z' File as Stalin believes it proves collusion between British Intelligence, Churchill, and Hess. Will is the victim of a honeytrap and agrees to fetch it. He discloses the plot to 'M'. At the handover on the coast, commandos ambush and kill the Hungarian couple. In disgust, Will renounces the idea of becoming a priest.Crowley dies at Netherwood on 1 December 1947. Will finds a silk handkerchief under his deathbed inscribed with a map of Dungavel and Hess's alias. Will learns from 'M' that Crowley has sent the 'Z' File to Jack Parsons, an American disciple and rocket scientist. Will visits him and his wife Cameron in Pasadena in 1952. He and Jack perform an Enochian ritual in the desert. Ten days later Parsons blows himself up before he can give Will the file as promised.In May Knight invites Will to his suburban house. Will goes intending to use the silk map to challenge Knight's assertion the 'Z' File is a fake. While there, Will accidentally comes across a photo taken at Dungavel on the night Hess was supposed to arrive. Reluctantly, 'M' reveals what really happened and the true identities of Hess's reception committee.…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
