206 pp.; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. "The national bestseller: A medieval murder mystery full of the wonders of the time - and lessons for our own time - by a master storyteller. The time is the fourteenth century. The place is a small town in rural England, and the setting a snow-laden winter. A small troupe of actors accompanied by Nicholas Barber, a young renegade priest, prepare to play the drama of their lives. Breaking the longstanding tradition of only performing religious plays, the groups leader, Martin, wants them to enact the murder that is foremost in the townspeoples minds. A young boy has been found dead, and a mute-and-deaf girl has been arrested and stands to be hanged for the murder. As members of the troupe delve deeper into the circumstances of the murder, they find themselves entering a political and class feud that may undo them. Intriguing and suspenseful, Morality Play is an exquisite work that captivates by its power, while opening up the distant past as new to the reader. / Barry Unsworth is the author of the Booker Prize-winning Sacred Hunger, the Booker-nominated Morality Play, and many other novels." - Publisher.

Sacred Hunger
New York and London W. W. Norton & Company, Inc. 1993 0393311147 / 9780393311143 4th printing Trade Paperback Very Good
629 pp.; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light edgewear to wraps. Winner of the Booker Prize. "Winner of the 1992 Booker Prize for Fiction. 'Possibly the best novel I've read in the last decade.' - David Halberstam. Sacred Hunger is a stunning and engrossing exploration of power, domination, and greed. Filled with the 'sacred hunger' to expand its empire and its profits, England entered full into the slave trade and spread the trade throughout its colonies. In this Booker Prize-winning work, Barry Unsworth follows the failing fortunes of William Kemp, a merchant pinning his last chance to a slave ship; his son who needs a fortune because he is in love with an upper-class woman; and his nephew who sails on the ship as its doctor because he has lost all he has loved. The voyage meets its demise when disease spreads among the slaves and the captain's drastic response provokes a mutiny. Joining together, the sailors and the slaves set up a secret, utopian society in the wilderness of Florida, only to await the vengeance of the single-minded, young Kemp. / Barry Unsworth is the author of the Booker Prize-winning Sacred Hunger, the Booker-nominated Morality Play, and many other novels." - Publisher.

Raikes finds himself losing all moral grounding as his love for statue and woman intertwine in lust and murder. / Barry Unsworth, who won the Booker Prize for Sacred Hunger, was a Booker Prize finalist for Morality Play and was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize for The Ruby in Her Navel. He lives in Italy." - Publisher.
