A classic novel about the golden age of film.It is based on Isherwood's experience of co-writing the 1934 Berthold Viertel film Little Friend.With one impatient phone call, a young Christopher Isherwood is drawn into the film industry.On the other end of the line is temperamental Austrian director Friedrich Bergmann. Christopher’s job is to rescue the script of an idiotic love story set in nineteenth-century Vienna, a film called Prater Violet. Meanwhile, in the real Vienna of 1934, the Austrian right crushes a socialist uprising. Bergmann is distraught; his prophecy of a coming war goes unheeded. As tensions on set grow, studio intrigues and competing egos threaten to derail the whole project, and Hitler’s shadow lengthens over Europe.‘A masterly novella’ Guardian‘A deliberate historical parable. Prater Violet resembles episodes in Goodbye to Berlin and keeps up the same high level of excellence’ New Yorker

One of Latin America’s most influential political leaders, this book follows Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s extraordinary career as the three-time president of Brazil.In October 2022, Lula was once again elected President of Brazil, replacing the far-right strongman Bolsonaro, sparking an insurrection, and exiling the fallen demagogue to Trump-friendly circles in the US. He won by promising to save the Amazon (and, therefore, the world) and, as ever, to give power back to the Brazilian people. This has long been the dream of Latin American left-wing movements—many of which have ended in corruption, disaster and death. Lula has survived at least three curtain calls.Imprisoned for corruption in the notorious “Car Wash” scandal, voted out, bullied and beaten, Lula continues to draw huge crowds of workers wherever he goes. He speaks of revolution and comes from the streets of São Paulo, and yet he is enmeshed in hidden bank accounts and lobbying scandals. When Barack Obama met Lula during his
