Harpercollins Flashman in the Great Game Fraser George MacDonald

In one corner, a godless young warrior, Voltaire’s heralded ‘philosopher-king’, the It Boy of the Enlightenment. In the other, a devout if bad-tempered old composer of ‘outdated’ music, a scorned genius in his last years. The sparks from their brief conflict illuminate a turbulent age • Behind the pomp and flash, Prussia's Frederick the Great was a tormented man, son of an abusive king who forced him to watch as his best friend (probably his lover) was beheaded. In what may have been one of history's crueler practical jokes, Frederick challenged ‘old Bach’ to a musical duel, asking him to improvise a six-part fugue based on an impossibly intricate theme (possibly devised for him by Bach's own son) • Bach left the court fuming, but in a fever of composition, he used the coded, alchemical language of counterpoint to write ‘A Musical Offering’ in response

He was immediately arrested, questioned for nine hours, without a solicitor present, and pressured into signing a confession full of words he did not understand • 21 years later, local newspaper editor Don Hale was thrust into the case.

A collection of rare ghosts and horror stories by the brothers of one of the finest writers of the genre, E. F. Benson • The Benson brothers – Arthur Christopher, Edward Frederic and Robert Hugh – were one of the most extraordinary and prolific literary families, between them writing more than 150 books.

F. Benson is mentioned in the same breath as other greats such as M. R. James and H. R.
