From the bestselling author of Fatherland and Imperium comes The Ghost Writer, an extraordinarily auspicious thriller of power, politics, corruption, and murder—now a major motion picture starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan. The role of a ghostwriter is to make his client look good, not to uncover the truth. But what happens when the client is a major political figure, and the truth could change the course of history? Adam Lang, the controversial former prime minister of Britain, is writing his memoirs. But his first ghostwriter dies under shocking circumstances, and his replacement—whose experience lies in portraying aging rock stars and film idols—knows little about Lang’s inner circle. Flown to join Lang in a secure house on the remote shores of Martha’s Vineyard in the depths of winter, cut off from everyone and everything he knows, he comes to realize he should never have taken the job. It’s not just his predecessor’s mysterious death that haunts him, but Adam Lang himself. Deep in Lang’s past are buried shocking secrets. Secrets with the power to alter world politics. Secrets with the power to kill.

Ghost stories tap into our most primal emotions as they encourage us to confront the timeless question: What comes after death? Here, in tales that are by turn scary, funny, philosophic, and touching, you’ll find that question sharpened, split, reconsidered—and met with a multitude of answers. A spirit who is fated to spend eternity reliving the exact moment she lost her chance at love, ghostly trees that haunt the occupant of a wooden house, specters that snatch anyone who steps into the shadows, and parakeets that serve as mouthpieces for the dead: these are just a few of the characters in this extraordinary compendium of one hundred ghost stories. Kevin Brockmeier’s fiction has always explored the space between the fantastical and the everyday with profundity and poignancy. As in his previous books, The Ghost Variations discovers new ways of looking at who we are and what matters to us, exploring how mysterious, sad, strange, and comical it is to be alive—or, as it happens, not to be.

Of all the many forms which natural religion has assumed none probably has exerted so deep and far-reaching an influence on human life as the belief in immortality and the worship of the dead. This first volume of Frazer's book comprises the Gifford Lectures he gave at the University of St. Andrews in the years 1911 and 1912, and deals with the belief in immortality and the worship of the dead, as these are found among the aborigines of Australia, the Torres Straits Islands, New Guinea, and Melanesia. In the second volume, the author describes the corresponding belief and worship among the Polynesians, a people related to their neighbors the Melanesians by language, if not by blood._x000D_ Contents:_x000D_ Introduction_x000D_ The Savage Conception of Death_x000D_ Myths of the Origin of Death_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Aborigines of Central Australia_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the other Aborigines of Australia_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of the Torres Straits Islands_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of British New Guinea_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of German New Guinea_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of German and Dutch New Guinea_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Southern Melanesia (New Caledonia)_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Central Melanesia_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Northern and Eastern Melanesia_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Natives of Eastern Melanesia (Fiji)_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Maoris_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Tongans_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Samoans_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Hervey Islanders_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Society Islanders_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Marquesans_x000D_ The Belief in Immortality among the Hawaiians
