Faber and Faber, London 2008. 454p.Sider. Paperback. Nice copy. The Collector of Worlds is a rare combination of literary achievement and popular accessibility. A bestseller in Germany, the novel is a meditation on the extraordinary life of Sir Richard Burton, one of the most flamboyant figures of the Victorian age. Burton was the first westerner to make the hajj to Mecca, and discovered the source of the Nile with Speke. His translation of the Arabian Nights is one of the great moments in the encounter between Islam and the West, a version of the Arab classic that scandalised his contemporaries with its salty eroticism. Troyanov's novel does full justice to this great, controversial mediator between cultures. The book imagines his encounter with India as a young officer, and other episodes in his life are seen through the eyes of his Indian servant; the Sharif of Mecca, who is conducting an enquiry into Burton's audacious journey and its consequences for the Ottoman Empire; and a former slave who guided Burton to the Nile.

Skrifola 1959. 130.Sider. Paperback. Udmærket eksemplar. 2 romaner i een. Forfatteren Rollo Martins rejser til Wien i begyndelsen af Den kolde krig. Normalt ernærer Martins sig af at skrive letbenede tjubang-romaner under pseudonym, men hans bedste og ældste ven Harry Lime har tilbudt ham et job. Wien er en by, der er delt mellem fire stormagter, og som stadig bærer præg af bombningerne under 2. verdenskrig. Byens politiske splittelse og det fysiske forfald sætter stemningsfuldt den scene, Martins træder ind på. Netop ankommet får han beskeden om, at hans ven Lime er blevet dræbt i en ulykke. Martin fortvivles og sørger, men kort efter Limes begravelse forstår han, at noget i forbindelse med sin vens død er gustent, hvorfor han straks begynder en privat efterforskning. Snart står det ham klart, at hans ven måske var en superskurk af værste skuffe, der blottet for moral og uden tanke for andre kun tænkte på at skrabe penge sammen til sig selv. Den tredje mand? blev oprindeligt skrevet som et manuskript til filmen (1949) af samme navn med Orson Welles i rollen som Harry Lime. Romanen er en velskrevet og underholdende retro-krimi, som med beskedne virkemidler alligevel får fortalt en stor historie om moral.
