Who doesn't want to quit the rat race and pack it all in to see the world? And it is not as if Sherrie and Patrick were strangers to travel. They met on Patrick's first round the world trip by motorcycle. Sherrie fell hard for the open road and the freedom of two wheels and a tent. How much harder could living on a sailboat be? Or at least that was Patrick's opinion. Sherrie is a Newfoundlander. She thought it prudent to bring up the Titanic whenever Patrick mentioned his dream of sailing around the world. And then they had babies. Which meant that dream of sticking them in a sidecar was no longer so realistic. Because putting imaginary babies in your sidecar is very different from putting breathing ones in. The desire to keep up a semi nomadic lifestyle beckoned, but could Sherrie get over her fear of living on the ocean? And just as she agrees to commit to a life afloat, heartbreak and betrayal threaten to end the trip before it even begins. Confessions of A Reluctant Sailor tells of how one family on the verge of breaking up and a woman brought to her knees with grief, went forward with fulfilling a dream and knitting themselves back together, all the while learning the very real difference between fear and danger. If you have ever dreamed of packing up and escaping the rat race, or even wondered how to move forward during a time of heartbreak and loss, get your copy today.

A beautiful hardback edition of a great Japanese classic, beautiful, lyrical and deeply ominous. A band of savage thirteen-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard this disillusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying. 'Mishima's greatest novel, and one of the greatest of the past century' The Times VINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS: Bound to be beautiful

Excerpt from Sailor and Beachcomber, Confessions of a Life at Sea, in Australia, and Amid the Islands of the Pacific The soul of all the songs I sing, Whatever sounds most true, I dedicate each wild true ring, Inspired, old chums, by you. The world grieves not that you are dead - Brave, reckless men who died, Crept from their camp-fires back to bed Along the wild hill-side. But, comrades, 'neath the hills or waves, Could one sad song of mine Reveal dead souls of far-off graves, 'Twould be a song divine. As pure and sweet as flowers that grow Where once with wild delight You sang, where bush-flowers, bursting, blow Thro' dead fire-ash to-night. And so in dreams I take your hands, In long-dead eyes I gaze, And half in tears from other lands Bring back the dear old days. In other lands 'neath greyer skies Wild rides again recall, Your songs, your laughing, manly eyes - The boy who loved you all. Lies in my sea-chest 'neath my bed The fiddle, stringless, still; Old chums, since all of you are dead, 'Neath forest steep and hill, I cannot play the songs you loved; But with tired eyes and pen I strive to tell the truth, who roved, And found you - God's best men.
