With humour, wit and insight David Carter provides an account of the trials and tribulations of the Nobel Prize in Literature, together with tongue-in-cheek guidelines for the would-be laureate. There are acclaimed writers - James Joyce, Marcel Proust, Leo Tolstoy, Mark Twain - who never won the Nobel Prize - and others, less well-known, such as Henryk Sienkiewicz, Paul Heyse and Wladyslaw Reymont, who did. What do you have to do to impress, or be snubbed by the Nobel Committee? Using the device of a set of guidelines for the would-be laureate, the book explores many of the unusual and controversial decisions made by the committee over the years. The reader can discover the many quirky considerations that hopeful writers must bear in mind. Certain factors always help, such as being a man and having your work translated into Swedish. Presenting interesting quotes from the presentation and acceptance speeches and from other sources in the writers works, David Carter provides answers to some intriguing questions, such as: Why did some writers refuse to accept the prize, and why were others rejected? Is there evidence for political, ideological and geographical bias in the selection? Why was it sometimes awarded to two writers and sometimes not at all? What does it actually take to win?

Born to Jewish parents in mid-19th-century Austria, Sigmund Freud is a controversial figure needing no introduction, yet his reputation owes as much to myth as to the facts of his life and his work. Here, David Carter uncovers the man buried beneath the mythology, tracing the life of this inimitable figure from his origins as the gifted first born of eight children, through his stellar academic career and his relationships and rifts with famous figures such as Josef Breuer. Also explored is why, despite his groundbreaking work on psychoanalytic theoriesincluding the functioning of the subconscious, the repression of trauma, and the psychological import of dreamsFreud has frequently been the subject of derision and ridicule.

As explicit in his prose as he was in his private life, the Marquis de Sade remains one of the most controversial writers of all time. This new biography, by the acclaimed translator and author David Carter, promises to shock as much as it informs. Arrested many times for sexual misdemeanors, the Marquis de Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille, where he was writing 120 Days of Sodom and The Misfortunes of Virtue at the time that it was stormed in 1789. After the French Revolution he was again imprisoned and sent to an asylum, where he wrote diaries and plays. This concise biography offersa fresh look at a relentlessly compelling figure with a fascinating life of scandal and imprisonment.

Johnny Vergette is repairing an old bike in the garage when his mother calls him into the house. Grist Vergette, his grandfather, passed away a few weeks before, and Johnnys inheritance has just arrived. Its a key. The key to Grists old garden shed down on the allotments. Johnny goes outside where he meets Seri, the German neighbours daughter, and the two of them set off in the sunshine for the allotments. They discover the shed is not like other sheds. Its bigger and better built and immaculately maintained. Inside, they discover a myriad of interesting artefacts dating back to World War II. Medals, plans, model ships, Morse code equipment, photographs, dusty TOP SECRET plans and files, convoy plotters, old money, vintage engineering magazines, wristwatches, and an old travelling clock that does not work. Johnny tosses it disdainfully to one side and continues rooting through his newly acquired treasures. Clearly, the main purpose of this shed is not gardening, but what is it? The alarm on the old clock goes off. Seri jumps. It folds back in on itself and closes with a slick click. It begins to pulse, louder and louder: VUM! VUM! VUM! Something very strange is happening. The great adventure is about to begin. David Carters Grist Vergettes Curious Clock is out now in paperback and as an Ebook. 175 pages. A compelling read! Carter, as in all his work, creates solid three-dimensional believable characters and these protagonists are no exception, as with those less attractive characters they meet during their adventure.One feels an instant empathy with their youthful curiosity yet Carter generates a fear which cleverly puts the reader one step ahead as this story moves from the seemingly benign merging with a gathering plot gaining rapid nail-biting momentum towards the end.This work has been accurately researched and presents a well documented view of the period giving substance to an unusual, very interesting perspective and makes for an exciting, entertaining tale which nicely rationalises itself back to reality.David Carter is a gifted writer who can switch genres with ease.He has the ability to create context, devise sound characters and clever plots which keep the momentum going.This story reflects all that is excellent about his work and I can highly recommend it.Margaret Henderson Smith Author of Amber and The Turn of the Tide.
