Languishing one summer at the Foreign Office in London, Carruthers is rescued by an unexpected invitation to join Arthur Davies on the `Dulcibella` in the Baltic. A grouse-shooting party or a weekend at Cowes would have been more Carruthers`s style. More disconcerting still, soon after his arrival it emerges that Davies needs his assistance, not on a yachting holiday, but in a spot of amateur spying ... Sounding a warning of the dangers of a German sea-borne invasion, `The Riddle of the Sands` created a sensation when it appeared in 1903. Recognizably the great forerunner of the espionage novels of Graham Greene and John Le Carre, its vivid period flavour and richly detailed background of inshore sailing have made it a classic among...

In the years between the two great wars, the nations of the world, ravaged by war and depression, struggled to maintain a delicate peace. Torn between pressing social needs - record-setting unemployment and the threat of revolutions, Western Europe played for time in which to repair its economies and to strengthen its governments. No one wanted war: Britain was still healing the wounds of World War I; the Americans had retreated into isolation; the French were divided politically and the Soviet Union, an international outcast, was facing its own enormous problems. Yet, determined to win the `living space` he was convinced Germany needed, Adolf Hitler made war unavoidable, despite the pronounced reluctance of the rest of the world. Almost...

In Russia Platonov is increasingly considered the best writer of the post-revolutionary epoch yet he has not so far enjoyed the international reputation that he deserves. To a large extent, this is because he fell from favour with the Soviet authorities and suffered years of exile and labour in the gulags. Much of his finest work was suppressed for up to sixty years. Combining an almost scientific realism with a poetic vision and a strong feeling for the traditional Russian folk tale, Platonov managed to get deep under the skin of the Soviet regime, vividly presenting the dreams of the builders of socialism in all their inarticulate confusion. The ten stories in The Return present the full range of Platonov’s gifts to an...
