Dr Faustus conjuring Mephistopheles, 1928, from Christopher Marlowe's play, evokes the Elizabethan stage, fully relishing the drama but making his devil a rather sexy male nude.
There is a moment in this novel where the protagonist reads his own obituary – then cheerfully moves on. Admittedly it is a fair criticism that you do eventually come to expect the inevitable outcome of his endeavours.

Towards the end, his grand inamorata sighs that her life has been “all very boring, compared to [yours]”. It’s a wonderfully entertaining romp through the 19th century with the most engaging travelling companion you could possibly hope for. Described by one reviewer as ‘Around the World in 80 Years’, Cashel’s adventures take him across the globe to places as varied as Oxford, Venice, Zanzibar and Madras. The author combines the august and measured commentary of the distinguished art historian with a gumshoe's curiosity . Cashel’s fictional exploits are intertwined with real historical events and actual historical personages such as Lord Byron and Mary Shelley, and the explorers Richard Burton and John Speke.By the way, you’ll need to be patient for the significance of the image on the cover to be revealed.
