Venice for Lovers

Author: Anka Muhlstein
Louis Begley
Publishing date: 2009
Venice for Lovers is a memorable collaboration by two fine stylists who have fashioned their own personal homages to Venice, one with a novella, the other with a personal essay. Every year for all the thirty they have been married, Begley and Muhlstein have escaped to Venice to write. In her contribution to the book, Muhlstein charmingly describes how she and her husband dine at the same restaurant every night for years on end, and how becoming friends with restaurateurs has been an unsurpassed means of getting to know the city and its inhabitants, far from the tourists in San Marco Square. In his short novella, Begley writes a story of falling in love with and in Venice. His twenty-year-old protagonist, enamored with an older, far worldlier woman of twenty-seven, is

View from the Fence

Author: Neill Lochery
Publishing date: 2005
"View from the Fence" has been shortlisted for this year's Jewish Quarterly Wingate Literary Prizes for fiction and non-fiction. Dr. Neill Lochery has worked as an advisor to Middle Eastern politicians on both sides of the political divide as well as elsewhere in the Middle East and is a leading specialist in the politics and history of the area. As neither an Arab nor a Jew, he is able to go beyond the traditional narratives employed by partisan writers who dominate much of the current literature on the Middle East. Lochery's ability to see all sides drives the argument in this book about the possibilities for peace in the future. The Arab-Israeli conflict has for too long been seen as a simple tale of right versus wrong, good versus evil or, since the 1967 War, the

Village Newcomers

Publishing date: 2010
Ford and Mercedes Barclay have decided to spend their twilight years in the lovely village of Turnham Malpas - but will these two newcomers be made welcome?

Olivier Goursac
Publishing date: 2005
Visions of Mars offers a visual tour of the main geographic features of Mars as they have been recorded by twenty years of remote-sensing missions, ranging from the Viking orbiter/lander of the late 1970s through the Pathfinder orbiter/rover of the mid-1990s and up to the twin rover missions of today. The survey is driven by images, many of which have never been seen before, which introduce the reader to the plains, volcanoes, chasms, lake beds, and polar regions of the red planet.

Walker Evans

Author: Aaron Betsky
James Crump
Publishing date: 2010
Walker Evans (1903 - 1975) gilt unangefochten als einer der einflussreichsten amerikanischen Fotografen. Sein Werk veränderte das Bewusstsein seines Landes, viele seiner Arbeiten sind fester Bestandteil des kollektiven Bildgedächtnisses. Seine kompromisslose Dokumentationen der Armut während der Wirtschaftskrise der 1930er-Jahren sind Ikonen der Fotografiegeschichte, doch häufig finden seine nicht minder wegweisenden Werke aus den folgenden Jahrzehnten weniger Beachtung. Diese Monografie widmet sich seinem Gesamtwerk und stellt mit Bedacht auch viele Fotografien vor, die nur selten gezeigt werden - darunter etwa auch die Polaroids, die Evans als letzte Arbeiten in den späten 1970er-Jahren schoss. Der stetig wachsende Einfluss seines Oeuvre in diesen Jahren sowie seine

Walking the Shadows

Author: Donald James
Publishing date: 2003
His past was a lie - his present a mystery. There is a drowned village in the South of France called St Juste, a village where secrets were buried in the Second World War; a village swiftly coming back into the light of day as a summer drought empties the reservoir that hides it. Tom Chapel comes to St Juste to discover why a local man, Marcel Coultard, has left his 28 million dollar fortune to his daughter Romilly, and why shortly after his bequest, Romilly was abducted and attacked, and left in a life-threatening coma. The local police are not forthcoming: there is a code of silence about Romilly and another dead girl, a silence which suggests a deeper and abiding mystery that Tom must uncover. His search takes him back to when this part of France was ruled by the

War Games The Story of Aid and War

Author: Linda Polman
Publishing date: 2010
From Rwanda to Afghanistan, from Sudan to Iraq, this brilliantly written and at times blackly funny work of reportage shows how the humanitarian aid industry, the media and warmongers the world over are locked in a cycle of mutual support. Drawing on her decades of first-hand experience, Linda Polman's gripping narrative introduces us to the key players in this twisted game, to the aid-workers and the warlords themselves. Among many others, there is the Bible-bashing one-man NGO who rescued two Sierra Leonean girls from life in an amputee camp - only to change his mind and try to send them back again; the director of the World Bank in Kabul who estimates that 35-40 per cent of all aid in Afghanistan is looted or lost; and, the rebel soldier who explains that war does

War Years Life in Britain During 1939-1945

Author: Janice Anderson
Publishing date: 2007
After months of the German blitz, London was still very much London. Damage had certainly been done. Churches, hospitals, historic buildings and the homes of ordinary people had been destroyed, but London's heart was still beating strongly. Tall buildings still rose in the sky, people and traffic still crowded the pavements and roads of the greatest city in the world. Then the Americans arrived...The US War Department said this when they came to Britain in 1942: 'British women have proved themselves in this war. They have stuck to their posts near burning ammunition dumps, delivered messages on foot after their motor-cycles have been blasted from under them. There isn't a single record of any British woman in uniformed service quitting her post, or failing in her duty.

Warlord's Legacy

Author: Ari Marmell
Publishing date: 2011
Corvis Rebaine is no hero. In his trademark suit of black armour and skull-like helm, armed with a demon-forged axe and with allies that include a bloodthirsty ogre, Rebaine has twice brought death and destruction to Imphallion in pursuit of a better, more equitable and just society. If he had to kill countless innocents in order to achieve that dream, so be it. At least that was the old Rebaine. Before he slew the mad warlord Audriss. Before he banished the demon Khanda. Before he lost his wife and children, who could neither forgive nor forget his violent crimes. Now, years later, Rebaine lives in a distant city, under a false name. He's a member of one of the Guilds he despises and trying to achieve change nonviolently, from within the power structure. But just
