"Meister des Eigensinns". Uber Hermann Hesse (1877-1962): In diesem Buch geht es um das Leben und Werk des meistgelesenen und meistverkauften deutschsprachigen Schriftstellers der Welt. Viele Leser:innen lesen Hermann Hesse in ihrer Jugend und dann erst wieder im Alter. Dabei konnte Hesse in jedem Lebensalter interessant sein: Hat doch der Dichter aus Schwaben, der sich in der Schweiz niederlie, die schweizerische Staatsburgerschaft annahm und im Tessin begraben liegt, zeitlebens mit Krisen und Zweifeln zu kampfen gehabt. Der Freidenker, dessen Werk facettenreich ist, schrieb dabei meistens autobiografisch; immer machte er sich furs Individuum stark: Wie kann der Einzelne den Widerstanden einer ihm feindlich gesonnenen Welt begegnen? Im Eigensinn fand er eine Kategorie, die ihm in seinem Kampf ums Uberleben half. Schon die Hippies begeisterten sich fur Hesse; fur sie wurde er zum Kultautor.Das Buch ist ein Buch fur alle, die sich fur die schillernde Biografie Hermann Hesses interessieren und neugierig auf sein umfangreiches Werk sind.

Lionel Buster Crabb was a drinker, a gambler, a womaniser and a lover of fast cars and gadgets. On top of all that, he was a spy, an acquaintance of Ian Fleming and the inspiration for James Bond.A British naval frogman and bomb disposal expert, Crabb worked directly under Fleming during the Second World War at Naval Intelligence and went on to conduct covert operations for both SIS and MI5. Elements from Crabbs dangerous missions and eccentric lifestyle were later incorporated into Flemings novels. His inventions sparked the role of Q; Miss Moneypenny was based on Crabbs aunt, Kitty Jarvis; and his underwater battle with enemy divers became a crucial scene in Thunderball. During a secret drive beneath a Russian warship in 1957, Crabb disappeared without a trace. One year later, a decapitated and handless body was found, sparking a major row between the government, the secret services and the Admiralty that still smoulders today.

Paddington Pollaky, Victorian super-sleuth, was a contradiction: a man of mystery who tried to keep out of the limelight, while at times craving recognition and publicity. He was a busybody, a meddler, yet someone whose heart was ultimately in the right place. Newspaper accounts detail his work as a private detective in London, his association with the Society for the Protection of Young Females, his foiling of those involved in sex-trafficking and of his dogged search for abducted children issues still sadly relevant today. In this first biography, author Bryan Kesselman investigates Pollakys involvement in the American Civil War, his placing of cryptic messages in the agony columns of The Times, and examines whether it was Pollaky who provided the inspiration for the literary greats Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes.

The expression femme fatale could have been coined for Barbara Skelton. She had many admirers - Peter Quennell, Feliks Topolski, Cyril Connolly, King Farouk, George Weidenfeld, Derek Jackson, the list is not exhaustive - some of whom she married. Tears Before Bedtime and Weep No More were first published separately in 1987 and 1989; they then appeared in one paperback volume in 1993. It is in this form they are being reissued in Faber Finds. As Jeremy Lewis, her literary executor, puts it these memoirs combine waspishness and wit in equal measure. She had a keen eye for the absurd, and a ruthless ability to skewer friends and foes alike with an exact and colourful turn of phrase ...Uniquely savage memoirs of rackety highbrow life ... One feels Balzac is the novelist who would best do justice to all this in fictional form. Anthony PowellProvides some of the funniest reading I can remember. Auberon Waugh, Independent The two volumes together make a memorable portrait. She deserves to have her likeness preserved and by a writer as good as herself. Frank Kermode, Guardian
