Description:
The Bath Fuguesis Castro at hisbest, in a wonderful performance wrought from intrigue, romance, deception – and comedy.The book is composed of three interwoven novellas, the firstcentred on an ageing art forger; the second on a Portuguese poet, opiumaddict and collector; the third told by a well-connected doctor, with acabinet of venom, and an art gallery on the north Queensland coast.
Around these characters circle others, in the contrapuntal mannerof the fugue suggested by the book's title. Some are related, somefugitive, some like the essayist Montaigne, the poet Baudelaire orthe philosopher Benjamin, enter the story from the past.
Motifs recur – baths, bicycles, clocks, addiction, the counterfeit –deepening the lines of association and inheritance which bind theirlives, and giving weight to the friendships thrust upon them.
'…one of the most exacting, yetrewarding of Australian novelists,and when the mood is on him, oneof the most amusing as well.' – PETER PIERCE,The Age
'His way of working has producedstartlingly original storytelling, thesort that reminds me, with joy, againand again, that anything is possiblein literature.' – SUE BOND,Asian Review Of Books

Great Read!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Another Kazuo Umezz classic! Couldn't put in down. Pretty graphic body horror considering the time this manga was originally published.

Beautiful edition gives this classic the recognition it deserves
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I am over the moon for this Manga volume. The dimensions fit perfectly in one hand. And is perfect for casual reading. There's something about it that invokes such charm. I don't know quite how to put my finger on it.
I own other Reissues of classic manga such as Tezuka. And they often come a bit oversized. Which tends to increase the weight.
This one, like Umezz's imaginative storytelling has a particular lightness to it that is a joy. The way the cover opens is excellent. And expect no creasing. The paper quality, of course. is second to none and Umezz's art jumps off the page.
The Red color is so stylized. Vibrant and beautiful . the image of Cat-Eyed Boy on the cover has a gloss sheen to it, which makes it really stand out.
Not to mention the Story! Umezz's story is truly a creative masterwork that will intrigue and charm readers.
This manga volume is so well produced. It truly lives up to the title of "perfect edition". Looking to see more editions like this

Probably the coolest book ever!
Format: Board book
This book is so cool! I found out about this company a year ago when a family friend had one of their books and my son fell in love with it. My son loves trains so this was one of his gifts this year for Christmas. It comes with the wind-up train, as well as having 4 grooved different tracks inside the book that the train can drive along. You are also able to remove the track from the book. It’s a cool toy and an easy toy to take on the go.
