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.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Dinah is a fan. From as long as she can remember she has been obsessed by ballet and is in love with its superstar, Rudolf Nureyev. Her devotion is the one thing people remember about her, because otherwise, she is small, quiet and quite unremarkable. Dinah is anonymous and so she is just the woman for Pavel - the exuberant Soviet official with a taste for silk ties and the arts, who finds himself working as an unlikely double agent in 1970s Australia. The Glass Carpet weaves recognisable tales of love and family through the real life politics and prejudices that conspire to jeopardise ordinary people's hopes and dreams. Dinah's saga moves from Ireland, to Australia, the USSR and France and is punctuated by encounters with her dancing hero which seem to have magical effects on her life and the lives of those around her. Funny, tragic and moving, The Glass Carpet ultimately reveals that everyone is remarkable, whether they realise it or not.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Walking In Your Feet traces the beginnings of Andrew's life in a narrow mountain valley in north-eastern Victoria and ends in the Austrian Alps. It follows his journey through the iron ore exploration camps of the Western Australian deserts and the cattle yards of the Northern Territory, to the Gulf of Queensland, working as a stockman, mustering bush cattle. A cowboy musician, he played music in the coffee shops and restaurants of Cairns, all the way to the chalets and schnapps bars of Italy, Austria and Switzerland.Andrew was drawn by an inner calling and a curiosity to understand both himself and the ephemeral existence around him. Enlightened by a spiritual philosophy handed to him by an old Aboriginal elder, the undeniable truth and simplicity of 'Walking In Your Feet' has sustained him his entire life. 'When I am in doubt, I look down to see where I am on this earth, and then I look up to see where I am positioned in the universe.' This is the story of the times Andrew looked down and found he wasn't where he should be, and the other times when the mobius strip of life became a clearer path.…
