J. Alfred Prufrock measured out his life in coffee spoons; Larry Buttrose, living later in the twentieth century, adds frequent flyer miles to coffee as a measure of his life. The Blue Man is this restless writer's compelling exploration of life, love and commitment across continents and relationships.
From Ghana to Greece, from Tokyo to Timbuktu. from London to Los Angeles, Australian-born Larry roams where his work, desires and travelling companions take him. But his real journey is through the emotions of the interior world. The presence or absence of the beautiful yet elusive Kathryn is the hub around which all of his journeys, physical and mental, revolve.
With or without her, even when they are both involved with other people, it is Kathryn who haunts Larry through the cafés and restaurants of the traveller's world. With a devastating eye for detail and a poet's feeling for language, Larry probes the demands of modern relationships - and the hazards of modern travel.

In 1938 an eighteen-year-old boy signed on for the round trip from Europe to Australia in the last commercial sailing fleet to make that formidable journey. The four-masted barque Moshulu ended up as a dockside restaurant in Philadelphia; the young apprentice went on to become one of the greatest travel writers of this century. The Last Grain Race is Eric Newby's spellbinding account of his time spent on the Moshulu's last voyage in the Australian grain trade.
As always, Eric Newby's sharp eye for detail captures the hardships, danger, squabbles, companionship and sheer joy of shipboard life - bedbugs, ferocious storms, eccentric Finnish crew and all. By pure chance, Eric witnessed the passing of the era of sail, and his tale is all the more significant for being the last of its kind.

Eric Newby escapes through a hospital window to become a POW on the run in Italy in 1943. With the Nazis moving in from the north and no certain way back to England, his situation appears grim. But with the help of local farmers and villagers, who risk their lives to shelter him, he survives. Hiding in shepherds' huts and even a cave, he achieves three precious months of freedom - and meets the determined and courageous woman who would become his wife.
Love and War in the Apennines is an intimate account of the horror and surrealism of war, and of the heroism and selflessness of those caught up in its madness. Eric Newby creates an unforgettable record of the resilience of human nature in the face of despair, and forcefully remind us of the pointlessness of war.
