As pirates stalk the seas, Giovanna dares to join Soranzo at the forbidding island fortress he commands. Swept into a storm by the arrival of an old friend, fate unleashes a terrible reckoning none could foresee.   Bringing this long forgotten jewel of early nineteenth century historical fiction to English readers for the first time in more than a century, Lynne Forest’s vivid new translation restores a tale of passion, intrigue, and conflict that pulses with the energy of a glittering Venice that was once at the centre of the world.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490368758133,"sku":"9781911501282","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781911501282.jpg?v=1786442265"},{"product_id":"agamemnon","title":"Agamemnon","description":null,"brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57490375213429,"sku":"9781872868011","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781872868011.jpg?v=1786442275"},{"product_id":"marching-for-fausa","title":"Marching for Fausa","description":"Set in the fictional Federal Republic of Songhai in West Africa, exploring political corruption.

A real musical revolution began at the beginning of the 1960s, led by the Beatles, further ignited by the Rolling Stones and many others. The incredible rise of rock music continued until the end of the 1970s, when Punk arrived and launched a new wave of DIY rebellion.   In photographs which capture the spirit of the times, [re]discover the optimism of the Beatles; the Stones' dark rhythm'n'blues; the energy of The Who; the innovation of prog rock with Pink Floyd and Genesis, as well as the explosive heavy metal of Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. The 70s gave us the glam rock of T Rex and the gritty pub rock of Dr Feelgood, without forgetting the rock giants: Led Zeppelin, Queen, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and the unclassifiable David Bowie.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492167623029,"sku":"9781913641269","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781913641269.jpg?v=1786528992"},{"product_id":"encounters-with-james-baldwin","title":"Encounters with James Baldwin","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrating the centenary of the birth of the trailblazing African American author,\u003cem\u003e Encounters with James Baldwin\u003c\/em\u003e is a wide-ranging volume of short essays, reflections, interviews and poetry.
