New Releases by Charles Boyle

Since the International Labour Organisation''s Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC) came into force internationally on 20 August 2013, it has already been amended, and a further two sets of amendments have been agreed and are expected to come into force in 2019 and 2020. Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 – UK and REG Implementation sets out in detail how the UK, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man (being the members of the Red Ensign Group (REG) which are subject to the MLC) have implemented the Convention. Specific references are given to the laws, merchant shipping notices and guidance, as well as identifying the areas where implementation is permitted by way of collective agreements. As the MLC sits in the context of the wider international regulatory regime, it expressly endorses the application of other international instruments and standards, particularly those of the International Maritime Organisation. Furthermore, many of the MLC''s mandatory provisions have been incorporated into EU Directives, which are relevant to the UK and Gibraltar. These international and regional provisions are also referenced. Chapter 1 sets out an introduction to the ILO and the MLC. Chapter 2 describes the general approach of how the UK applies its legislation to UK ships and, while they are in UK waters, non-UK ships without MLC documentation, and non-UK ships with MLC documentation. Chapters 3-22 describe the UK provisions in more detail as the other REG members'' laws are influenced by those to a significant extent. The specific provisions for Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man have been set out, with detailed references to the appropriate regulatory sources in Chapters 23-26. Due to the central role of the MLC''s Title 5 on compliance and enforcement, this is set out in full (in Part VIII, Appendix 1), annotated with references to the relevant sections of the ILO''s guidelines on flag state control and port state control. The full text of the amendments to the MLC have been set out in Part VIII, Appendix 2.

In this revised, second edition of "Another Hamlet" (which includes updated versions of both his original 30-page 1993 essay and the original screenplay based upon it) Charles Boyle expands 30 additional pages, plus indexes and appendices] upon his original story of British actor Leslie Howard''s interest in the Earl of Oxford as Shakespeare, and how that may have played into both his role as an artist and propagandist in World War II, as possibly a spy for Britain during the war, and, finally, as a factor in his fate at the hands of German fighter pilots in 1943. "In "Another Hamlet" Charles Boyle has produced a riveting political thriller that explores the life and tragic death of actor and film-maker, Leslie Howard, a British patriot drawn into a deadly propaganda duel with the Germans. Deftly interweaving the behind-the-scenes politics of World War II with the decadent showbiz world of the 1930s-1940s, Boyle makes the tantalizing suggestion that it was Howard''s growing conviction that the Earl of Oxford wrote Shakespeare which sealed his doom. From Leslie Howard himself to Humphrey Bogart, Merle Oberon, Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, and Joseph Goebbels, Boyle brings to life a fascinating and often chilling cast of characters to tell the story of a maverick artist''s losing battle with the power-brokers of his age." -- Charles Beauclerk, author of "Nell Gwynn" and "Shakespeare''s Lost Kingdom." "Charles Boyle has opened a window on an amazing true story with immediate implications for our own time. His narrative essay on Leslie Howard and ''Shakespeare'' is impossible to put down and I have no doubt that his screenplay, which follows, will become a stunning and important movie. I can''t wait " -- Hank Whittemore, author of "CNN: the Inside Story" and "Your Future Self." "Fascinating take on the continued mystery surrounding the death of Leslie Howard ... It would make an interesting movie." (review on amazon.com) "I must confess that I was spellbound and could not turn the pages fast enough to see what happens next ... this screenplay is beautiful." (review on amazon.com)

The stories in The Manet Girl explore situations in which desire, cutting through the demands of daily life, blurs all rational distinctions between what is important and what is distraction.

A young whale becomes sad and lonely when playmates ridicule his oversized tail. His mother stops this abuse by leaving the pod and raising him alone. Years later, his powerful tail helps rescue his childhood tormentors from whale hunters. When the mean whales invite him back, he makes sure they learn some truths about friendship.

In Paleface, the free and subversive intelligence which has been heard to speak with growing confidence in each of Charles Boyle''s four previous collections attains full authority. With exhilarating inventiveness, the poet finds new ways, in poem after poem, of expressing both his own predicament as he confronts the confusions and enigmas of middle age, and that of the politically distressed culture in which he finds himself living. Intimations of mortality at a Sunday market, unicorns at the zoo, a miracle in west London, the customs of a not-so-faraway tribe, redundancy and love - these poems distil a sense of sometimes painful, sometimes comic displacement that rings true to the facts.

As a street beggar (Tamerlaine?) in the opening poem warns, a life is no simple narrative with a beginning, middle and end. The Very Man, Charles Boyle''s fourth Carcanet collection, is rich in unexpected digressions and conjunctions: Yuri Gagarin and a star of the silent screen, American films and the Eastern Bloc revolutions, D.H. Lawrence and deep-frozen fish, religion and a self-assembly bookshelves kit, Masai initiation rites and suburban adultery, 1812 and office afternoons. Here too are Stendhal in a Paris heat-wave, Muybridge murdering his wife''s lover and other portrait sketches that, for all their clarity and cunning, often refuse to distinguish between real and invented lives.
