<p>Demon Copperhead is a once-in-a-generation novel that breaks and mends your heart in the way only the best fiction can. Demon&apos;s story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking &apos;like a little blue prizefighter.&apos; For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn&apos;t an idea, it&apos;s as natural as the grass grows. For a generation growing up in this world, at the heart of the modern opioid crisis, addiction isn&apos;t an abstraction, it&apos;s neighbours, parents, and friends. &apos;Family&apos; could mean love, or reluctant foster care. For Demon, born on the wrong side of luck, the affection and safety he craves is as remote as the ocean he dreams of seeing one day. The wonder is in how far he&apos;s willing to travel to try and get there. Suffused with truth, anger and compassion, Demon Copperhead is an epic tale of love, loss and everything in between.</p>

<p>John Irving, one of the world&apos;s greatest novelists, returns with his first novel in seven years - a ghost story, a love story, and a lifetime of sexual politics. In Aspen, Colorado, in 1941, Rachel Brewster is a slalom skier at the National Downhill and Slalom Championships. Little Ray, as she is called, finishes nowhere near the podium, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home, in New England, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son, Adam, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later, looking for answers, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome, where he was conceived, Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift, they aren&apos;t the first or the last ghosts he sees. John Irving has written some of the most acclaimed books of our time - among them, The World According to Garp and The Cider House Rules. A visionary voice on the subject of sexual tolerance, Irving is a bard of alternative families. In The Last Chairlift, readers will once more be in his thrall.</p>

<p><b>THE FIRST NOVEL FROM LEGENDARY FILMMAKER WERNER HERZOG<br/><br/>'Very cinematic: indeed, it feels like a film unspooling inside Herzog's head as you read' <i>Daily Telegraph</i></b><br/><br/>1944: Lubang Island, the Philippines. With Japanese troops about to withdraw, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda was given orders by his superior officer: <i>Hold the island until the Imperial army's return. You are to defend its territory by guerrilla tactics, at all costs</i>.<br/><br/>So began Onoda's long campaign. Soon weeks turned into months, months into years, and years into decades - until eventually time itself seemed to melt away. All the while Onoda continued to fight his fictitious war, at once surreal and tragic, at first with other soldiers, and then, finally, alone, a character in a novel of his own making. . .<br/><br/><b>'Herzog. . .brilliantly blends fact and fiction in this fever dream of a novel' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><br/><br/><b>'A literary jewel set to sparkle against the backdrop of his monumental career in cinema' <i>i </i></b></p>
