Hailed everywhere as a masterpiece of suspense, John le Carre`s return to Africa is the story of Bruno Salvador (aka Salvo), the 25-year-old orphaned love child of an Irish missionary and a Congolese woman. Quickly rising to the top of his profession as an interpreter, Salvo is dispatched by British Intelligence to a top-secret meeting between Western financiers and East Congolese warlords, where he hears things not intended for his ears - and is forced to interpret matters never intended for his reawoken African conscience. By turns thriller, love story, and comic allegory of our times, "The Mission Song" recounts Salvo`s heroically naive journey out of the dark of Western hypocrisy and into the heart of lightness.

None of the great Victorian novels is more vivid and readable than `The Mayor of Casterbridge`. Set in the heart of Hardy`s Wessex, the `partly real, partly dream country` he founded on his native Dorset, it charts the rise and self-induced downfall of asingle `man of character`. The fast-moving and ingeniously contrived narrative is Shakespearian in its tragic force, and features some of the author`s most striking episodes and brilliant passages of description.
