'I beg as soon as you get Fielding's Joseph Andrews, I fear in Ridicule of your Pamela and of Virtue in the Notion of Don Quixote's Manner, you would send it to me by the very first Coach.' (George Cheyne in a letter to Samuel Richardson, February 1742) Both Joseph Andrews (1742) and Shamela (1741) were prompted by the success of Richardson's Pamela (1740), of which Shamela is a splendidly bawdy parody. But in Shamela Fielding also demonstrates his concern for the corruption of contemporary society, politics, religion, morality, and taste. The same themes - together with a presentation of love as charity, as friendship, and in its sexual taste - are present in Joseph Andrews, Fielding'sfirst novel.It is a work of considerable literary sophistication and satirical verve, but its appeal lies also in its spirit of comic affirmation, epitomized in the celebrated character of Parson Adams. This revised and expanded edition follows the text of Joseph Andrews established by Martin C. Battestin for the definitive Wesleyan Edition of Fielding's works.The text of Shamela is based on the first edition, and two substantial appendices reprint the preliminary matter from Conyers Middleton's Life of Cicero and the second edition of Richardson's Pamela (both closely parodied in Shamela). A new introduction by Thomas Keymer situates Fielding'sworks in their critical and historical contexts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Julie Andrews is, quite simply, a phenomenon. She has probably brought more joy to more people than any other star of her generation'' - Richard Attenborough. Julie Andrews is the last of the great Hollywood musical stars - her extraordinary career spans more than forty years. Her first film, Mary Poppins, was Disney''s most successful film, and in 1965 The Sound of Music rescued Twentieth Century Fox from bankruptcy. Three years later, Star! almost put the studio back under, and the leading lady of both films fell as spectacularly as she had risen.But Julie Andrews is nothing if not a survivor; and despite many setbacks - including the tragedy of losing her singing voice in 1997 after a botched operation - she''s still a performer, recently starring in Shrek and The Princess Diaries. Richard Stirling''s deeply researched biography - based on many years of contact with Julie - is a frank but affectionate portrait of an enduring icon of stage and screen.

Kniha je vydávána k 55. výročí okupace ČSSR. Dominantní v knize je 5,5 metru vysoká plastika Jiřího Sozanského se 137 jmény obětí invaze, dále kniha obsahuje olejomalby a fotografie J. Hníka a i QR kód s originální skladbou M. Pavlíčka, texty historiků a dokumenty z roku 1968 a fotografie z vernisáže v Armádním muzeu. "Je hanba, že po 55 letech neexistuje žádný památník, který by byl naším výrazem respektu k obětem invaze v roce 1968" říká v rozhovoru malíř a sochař Jiří Sozanský, známý svými díly, která se často vztahují k temnějším stránkám české historie (Respekt 35). Umělec se proto rozhodl na vlastní náklady vytvořit 5,5 m vysoký bronzový monument, na kterém je 137 jmen lidí, kteří zahynuli v důsledku invaze do konce roku 1968. Jména obětí nesměla být za minulého režimu nejen připomínána, ale dokonce jejich pozůstalí byli šikanováni a bylo jim vyhrožováno, pokud budou hovořit o tom, jak a proč jejich nejbližší zemřeli. Plastika s názvem 137 je do konce roku 2023 spolu s obrazy Jiřího Sozanského vystavena v Armádním muzeu na Žižkově. V knize INVAZE 1968 jsou fotografie Josefa Hníka. Originální skladbu Michala Pavlíčka, jejíž premiéra byla na vernisáži 21. 8. 2023 si mohou čtenáři díky QR kódu v knize poslechnout. Publikace zřejmě poprvé slovem i obrazem provází čtenáře mnohaměsíční výrobou bronzové plastiky. Kromě rozsáhlé obrazové části obsahuje kniha také řadu textu historiků, především text Prokopa Tomka, vedoucího týmu, kterému se podařilo po mnohaletém bádání dohledat osudy všech 137 obětí i jejich rodin. Dokumentární část tvoří kopie různých dokumentů např. zvací dopis pěti soudruhů-zrádců, zaslaný L. I. Brežněvovi s žádostí o pomoc, kterým Sověti do teď legitimizují svoji invazi. Kniha je zakončena vzpomínkami spolupracovníků Jiřího Sozanského na srpen 68 a fotografiemi z vernisáže, kterou navštívil prezident Petr Pavel, představitelé vlády a armády.

Summer begins with Mary Kay Andrews, in this delightful summer read about flipping houses, and finding true love."Andrews (The Newcomer) sparkles in this fast-paced tale. Andrews’s fans will eat this up." —Publishers Weekly"A fun story with twists and turns that will appeal to romantics and cold-case fans alike." —Kirkus Hattie Kavanaugh went to work restoring homes for Kavanaugh & Son Restorations at eighteen, married the boss’s son at twenty, and became a widow at twenty-five. Now, she’s passionate about her work, but that’s the only passion in her life. “Never love something that can’t love you back,” is advice her father-in-law gives her, but Hattie doesn’t follow it and falls head-over-heels for a money pit of a house. She’s determined to make it work, but disaster after disaster occurs, and Hattie’s dream might cost Kavanaugh & Son their livelihood. Hattie needs money, and fast. When a slick Hollywood producer shows up in her hometown of Savannah, Georgia, she gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: star in a beach house renovation reality show called The Homewreckers, cast against a male lead who may be a love interest, or may be the ultimate antagonist. Soon, there’s more at stake than bad pipes and dry rot: during the demolition, evidence comes to light that points to the mysterious disappearance of a young wife and mother years before.With a burned out detective investigating the case, an arsonist on the loose, two men playing with her emotions, and layers upon layers of vintage wallpaper causing havoc, it''s a question of who will flip, who will flop, and if Hattie will ever get her happily-ever-after.

Alastair Gordon (b.1978, Edinburgh), is an artist based in London. This, the first major monograph of the artist’s career, includes over 160 paintings, drawings, and documentational photographs, along with notes by Gordon himself. The book introduces this accomplished and engaging new voice in British painting.Gordon’s paintings bring the historic languages of genre painting and the quodlibet into a contemporary discourse that pushes the boundaries of realism, figuration, and illusionism to focus on everyday moments. His work often elevates seemingly ordinary objects––feathers, matchsticks, postcards––allowing them to speak to wider concerns of beauty, truth, life, and death.The documented works, produced between 2012 and 2023, include paintings made in oil or acrylic on MDF, wood, ‘found’ wood, gesso panel, paper, canvas, and occasionally linen. Each is distinctive for its style and for the recurring motifs Gordon selects such as masking tape, paper ephemera, and repeated, subtly different studies of the same subject. Gordon’s texts describe how objects found mud larking on the banks of the River Thames, shoes from the London City Mission, and rags and papers discarded from art students’ studios have been depicted in paintings, incorporating the histories and stories of each item (and each person) into his work. The book also features recent works influenced by rural landscapes and parkland.An introduction by Julia Lucero, Associate Director of Nahmad Projects, London, emphasizes the importance of nature and of meditation within Gordon’s practice. Specifically, Lucero brings out the idea of the "axis mundi, that metaphysical and mystical connecting point where heaven meets Earth". She explores the significance of quodlibet, a seventeenth-century trompe-l’oeil painting technique that Gordon favors, rendering brushstrokes invisible and affording everyday objects new significance, even "profound value". Humble objects such as a matchstick or paper airplane might be elevated to the realms of the divine.An essay by Jorella Andrews, Professor of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London, describes the influence of Gordon’s time on a research residency in the former studio of Paul Cézanne at Les Lauves on the outskirts of Aix-en-Provence. His experiences there proved pivotal to the direction of his practice, in which both the "visual misdirection" of quodlibet and the qualities of wood have become central. Andrews brings art historical texts and works of art into relation with Gordon’s paintings, making comparisons between subject, form, and approach. Andrews’ text further details the recent synthesis of two sides of Gordon’s work: precise illusionism combined with looser observations made in the natural landscape.Edited by Alastair Gordon Studio, designed by Herman Lelie, printed by EBS Verona and published in 2023 by Anomie Publishing, London, the publication has been generously supported by Howard and Roberta Ahmanson through Fieldstead and Company.
