Paperback. Zustand: Good. After a family tragedy, Theodore De'Ath moves to Otago to live with his grandparents. He becomes fascinated by the Underworld, reading the Inferno, Paradise Lost and Faust. When war breaks out in Europe, unlike his peers, Theodore is not swept up with the fervour to enlist, but when conscription comes in 1916 he is obliged to join the New Zealand Division in France. Although expert on Hell in literature, it is not until confronted with the reality of war that he understands its true meaning. Soon he has to survive as a deserter, risking court martial and a death sentence. The Life of De'Ath draws on historical events: New Zealand military involvement at the Western front, anti-German sentiment during World War I, and the New Zealand soldiers who were shot for desertion between 1916 and 1918. At its heart, though, is the story of a young man going against the tide of social and family pressure, and struggling to express his feelings for Elizabeth Paterson before it's too late. 244 pages. …

Paperback. Zustand: Fine. After a colourful and productive career in New Zealand and Australia, Noel Ginn lived out much of his retirement in a village in Kerala, the lush southern state of India. Remembered as a conscientious objector jailed in World War II, Noel Ginn published profound poems in 1998 in his Dweller on the Threshold. Interest in his experiences and perceptions grew with Paul Millar's 2002 Spark to A Waiting Fuse, about Ginn's influential correspondence with the young poetic prodigy James K Baxter. Noel Ginn's Kerala journals are fragrant with the spice of daily life in India and rich with his reflections - sometimes passionate, often subtle - on life's transitions. Observing within and between the cultures of India and Aotearoa New Zealand, Noel Ginn writes with an acute eye, aroha and gentle humour. - back cover. 256 pages.…

Coping with a pregnant donkey in Greece, skinny-dipping in Switze rland, bashing pans on the balconies of Barcelona, narrowly escaping brigands in Mexico and learning of an unreported murder in the Czech Republic are deftly ca ptured in words and drawings.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 128 pages. What is the kernel of Jesus, and what is the husk that the millennia have wra pped around him? The relative indifference of New Zealanders to questions about Jesus is a response to the inability of Christian scholars to agree who Jesus wa s, what he did, and what his message was. Bill Cooke sees this confusion as a ch ance for the real Jesus -- Rabbi Yeshua -- to step out of the shadows of two tho usand years of theological embellishment and be heard in his own words. Perhaps he can then take his place alongside all the other great thinkers and guides of history and help us in our search for balance and perspective in our lives.…
