?Once in a while . . . a book comes along that is beautifully put together and effortlessly entertaining; Muriel Spark?s Territorial Rights is such a novel.? ?The New York Times Robert wants nothing more than to become a serious art historian. But his hopes for a staid academic life are put on hold when he?s driven from London to Venice to escape one lover and seek out another: the enigmatic Bulgarian refugee Lina Pancev. In Venice, Robert encounters a grand carnival of lust, lies, blackmail, cocktail parties, and regicide. As he chases Lina, his heart?s desire, the city itself provides a priceless education in love, art, and beauty.? ? Witty yet elegant, Territorial Rights is a celebration of human imperfection and complexity, with as many shifting identities, wardrobe changes, and sumptuous settings as a comic opera. ? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Muriel Spark including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author?s archive at the National Library of Scotland. ? ??
