Discovered by a dashing young lieutenant, Raymond Kelvedon in a Normandy Chateau in 1944, she had cast her spell over his family - all artists and dealers - for fifty years.

Accompanying her is her fatally glamorous boyfriend, whose very different agenda includes an unhealthy interest in the Raphael. During a fireworks party, the painting is stolen. The hunt to retrieve it takes the reader on a thrilling journey to Vienna, Geneva, Paris, New York and London. After a nail-biting court case and a record-smashing Old Masters sale at Sotheby's, passionate love triumphs and Pandora is restored to her rightful home. ____________________ PRAISE FOR DAME JILLY COOPER 'Fun, sexy and unputdownable - a classic' Marian Keyes ‘Flawlessly entertaining’ Helen Fielding ‘Joyful and mischievous’ Jojo Moyes

I Am is a practical manual for the peaceful worldwide revolution underway. It mandates the end of corporate personhood, and the "for profit before people" Federal Reserve System. It calls for the establishment of a Federal Department of Integrity, the revamping of our foreign relations and its "foreign aid for profit" machine and doing away with the "clearly unconstitutional income tax." Bob co-founded several non-profit organizations including Colorado's San Luis Valley Solar Energy Association and Alamosa Children's School during the 1980's. As co-director of the San Luis Valley Energy Center, he traveled nationwide and internationally promoting hands-on, low-cost and no-cost do-it-yourself solar energy and energy conservation technologies. He has worked as a community development specialist in twenty countries. I Am grounds the reader in an autobiographical journey of empowerment, inspiring the reader to move beyond fear and beyond belief to undertake the great challenges of our times. Bob presents ideas for reversing global warming within a matter of months, for convoking a constitutional assembly, for retooling our factories, creating millions of jobs and creating a sustainable future for the Earth

Zarathustra was Nietzsche's masterpiece, the first comprehensive statement of his mature philosophy, and the introduction of his influential and well-known (and misunderstood) ideas including the "overman" or "superman" and the "will to power." It is also the source of Nietzsche's famous (and much misconstrued) statement that "God is dead." Though this is essentially a work of philosophy, it is also a masterpiece of literature, a cross between prose and poetry. A considerable part and parcel of Nietzsche's genius is his ability to make his language dance, and this is what becomes extraordinarily difficult to translate. It has been almost 40 years since Hollingdale's version for Penguin and almost 50 since Kaufmann's. However, anyone who appreciates the German original knows that these translations are merely adequate. While earlier translators have smoothed out the rough edges, cut corners and sometimes omitted troublesome passages outright, this one honors and respects the original as no other. Kaufmann and others are guilty of the deplorable tendency to "improve" on the original. Much is lost by this means, to say nothing of the interior rhythms, the grace notes, the not always graceful but omnipresent and striking puns and wordplays. And in not a few instances the current translation improves on Kaufmann's use of English or otherwise clarifies what Nietzsche is really saying
