The Pornographer of Vienna by Lewis Crofts
- £7.99 Price: £7.19 Add to Basket
- This fictional account of Egon Schiele's life is impeccably researched and told in unflinching and intoxicating detail.
-
The Third Man and The Fallen Idol by Graham Greene
- £6.99 Price: £6.29 Add to Basket
- Pulp fiction writer Holly Martins arrives in post-WW2 Vienna on the promise of finding work with his elusive friend Harry Lime. Written initally by Greene purely as preparation for the screenplay that would star Orson Welles, this novella is now recognised as one of his finest, delivering his trademark fusion of atmosphere and philosophical potency. His excellent 'The Fallen Idol' is also included here.

The Piano Teacher by Elfriede Jelinek
- £7.99 Price: £7.19 Add to Basket
- A gripping and often disturbing novel that tells of Erika Kohut, a middle-aged piano teacher still living with her viciously domineering mother and finding relief only in the seedy side of 1980s Vienna. A powerful trawl through the dark side of sexuality and a great evocation of a city.
-
Mortal Mischief by Frank Tallis
- £7.99 Price: £7.19 Add to Basket
- A splendidly written mystery set in a gloriously-realised fin-de-siecle Vienna. Dr Max Liebermann is a young psychoanalyst and Freud disciple called upon to assist the investigation of the death of a beautiful young medium, in what seems at first to be supernatural circumstances. Great stuff.
