Evelyn Waugh s first book: a portrait of one of the greatest artists of the nienteenth century, from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth Biography, as books about the dead are capriciously catalogued, is still very much in the mode This is a sparkling account of Dante Gabriel Rossetti s tragic and mysterious life, telling the story behind some of the greatest poetry and painting of the nineteenth century. Shot through with charm and dry wit, and illuminated by his sense of kinship with the Pre-Raphaelite artist, Rossetti is at once a brilliant reevaluation of Rosetti s work and legacy, as well as a blast of defiance against the art establishment of Waugh s day. The youthful high spirits of the writing make this a true cultural delight New Statesman To be celebrated with fireworks, bunting and marching bands Country Life

Part of the Penguin Essentials series, discover a beautifully designed edition of Evelyn Waugh s British classic featuring cover art by Jim Tierney I knew Sebastian by sight long before I met him. That was unavoidable for, from his first week, he was the most conspicuous man of his year by reason of his beauty, which was arresting, and his eccentricities of behaviour, which seemed to know no bounds. Charles Ryder, a lonely student at Oxford, is captivated by the outrageous and exquisitely beautiful Sebastian Flyte. Invited to Brideshead, Sebastian s magnificent family home, Charles welcomes the attentions of its eccentric, aristocratic inhabitants. But he also discovers a world where duty and desire, faith and earthly happiness are in conflict; a world which threatens to destroy his beloved Sebastian.A scintillating depiction of the decadent, privileged aristocracy prior to the Second World War, Brideshead Revisited is widely regarded as Evelyn Waugh s finest work.

Evelyn Waugh s masterful depiction of World War II, with an introduction by Martin StannardWaugh s own unhappy experience of being a soldier is superbly re-enacted in this story of Guy Crouchback, a Catholic and a gentleman, commissioned into the Royal Corps of Halberdiers during the war years 1939-45. High comedy - in the company of Brigadier Ritchie-Hook or the denizens of Bellamy s Club - is only part of the shambles of Crouchback s war. When action comes in Crete and in Yugoslavia, he discovers not heroism, but humanity. Sword of Honour combines three volumes: Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional Surrender, which were originally published separately. Extensively revised by Waugh, they were published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read.

She drifts into an affair with the shallow socialite John Beaver and forsakes Tony for the Belgravia set. Brilliantly combining tragedy, comedy and savage irony, A Handful of Dust captures the irresponsible mood of the crazy and sterile generation between the wars. This breakdown of the Last marriage is a painful, comic re-working of Waugh s own divorce, and a symbol of the disintegration of society.

Between 1929 and 1935 Evelyn Waugh travelled widely and wrote four books about his experiences. In this collection he writes, with his customary wit and perception, about a cruise around the Mediterranean; a train trip from Djibouti to Abyssinia to attend Emperor Haile Selassie s coronation in 1930; his travels in Aden, Zanzibar, Kenya and the Congo, coping with unbearable heat and plagued by mosquitoes; a journey to Guyana and Brazil; and his return to Addis Ababa in 1935 to report on the war between Abyssinia and Italy. Waugh s adventures on his travels gave him the ideas for such classic novels as Scoop and Black Mischief.

Put Out More Flags shows them adjusting to the changing social pattern of the times. Some of them play a valorous part; others, like the scapegrace Basil Sea, disclose their incorrigible habit of self-preservation in all circumstances. Basil s contribution to the war effort involves the use of his peculiar talents in such spheres of opportunity as the Ministry of Information and an obscure section of Military Security - adventures which incite Evelyn Waugh to another pungent satire upon the coteries of Mayfair.

With an Introduction and Notes by Katherine McGowran.Christina Rossetti is widely regarded as the most considerable woman poet in England before the twentieth century. No reading of nineteenth century poetry can be complete without attention to this prolific and popular poet. Rosetti s inner life dominates her poetry, exploring loss and unattainable hope.Her divine poems have a freshness and toughness of thought, while many of her love poems are erotic, and as often express love for women as for men. The varied threads of Rossetti s concerns are drawn together in what is perhaps her greatest poem, the strange and ambiguous Goblin Market .

Audiokniha: Znal ji celý svět, ale své tajemství si málem odnesla do hrobu… Mladou začínající novinářku Monique Grantovou zaskočí nabídka stárnoucí hollywoodské hvězdy, stranící se už celé roky veřejnosti a médií, aby napsala její knižní biografii. V životní cestě Evelyn Hugo, která byla plná skandálů i úspěchů a jejímiž milníky se stalo vedle několika oscarových nominací především sedmero hereččiných manželství, se odráží nejen proměna americké továrny na sny, ale do jisté míry též dějiny ženské emancipace ve Spojených státech. Což je trochu paradox, protože ona sama je nejlepším příkladem toho, že některé věci se zkrátka nemění – ženy stále těží ze své krásy, šoubyznys je pořád plný falše a obyčejné lidi nepřestává fascinovat svět bohatých a mocných. Není divu, že barvitý příběh filmové divy vzbuzuje v Monique plno otázek. Jedna ji ovšem trápí víc než ostatní: Proč právě ona? Nejúspěšnější z řady bestsellerů, které úspěšné americké spisovatelce získaly miliony fanoušků po celém světě. „Evelyn Hugo je okouzlující ikona, kterou budete obdivovat, ale také nezdolná bojovnice, jakou byste chtěli být. Její životní příběh vezme člověka za srdce a pohltí čtenáře až do poslední stránky.“ – Jamie Blynn, US Weekly. „Nejdřív sňatek, který uzavřela ještě jako neplnoletá a který skončil rozvodem v jejích osmnácti letech. Potom námluvy zosnované filmovým studiem a bouřlivé manželství s králem Hollywoodu Donem Adlerem. Zvěsti o tom, že ho opustila, protože ji bil. Její comeback ve snímku Francouzské nové vlny. Blesková svatba ve Vegas se zpěvákem Mickem Rivou. Oslnivé manželství s elegantním Rexem Northem, které zkrachovalo na mimomanželských avantýrách obou zúčastněných. Krásný milostný příběh jejího života s Harrym Cameronem a narození jejich dcery Connor. Srdcervoucí rozvod a Evelynina téměř okamžitá svatba s jejím dávným režisérem Maxem Girardem. Údajná aféra s o mnoho mladším kongresmanem Jackem Eastonem, která ukončila vztah s Girardem. A konečně manželství s finančníkem Robertem Jamisonem; o sňatku se šuškalo, že Evelyn k němu přinejmenším částečně ponoukla touha pomstít se své někdejší herecké kolegyni – a Robertově sestře – Celii St. James. Teď už jsou však všichni její manželé po smrti, a Evelyn je tudíž jediná, kdo má do výše zmíněných vztahů vhled.“ – ukázka z knihy.

From Newbery Medalist Meg Medina, the bittersweet story of two girls who will always be each other⠙s número uno, even though one is moving away.A big truck with its mouth wide open is parked at the curb. Already it has gobbled up Evelyn⠙s mirror with heart stickers around the edge ... and the sofa that we bounce on to get to the moon.Evelyn Del Rey is Daniela⠙s best friend. They do everything together and even live in twin apartments right across the street from each other: Daniela with her mami and hamster, and Evelyn with her mami, papi and cat. But not after today ⠓ not after Evelyn moves away. The girls play amid the moving boxes until it⠙s time to say goodbye, making promises to keep in touch, because they know that their friendship will always be special. The tenderness of Meg Medina⠙s beautifully written story about friendship and change is balanced by Sonia Sánchez⠙s colourful and vibrant depictions of the girls⠙ urban neighbourhood.

Christina Rossetti psala básně od svých dvanácti let, ve čtrnácti letech se psychicky zhroutila - trpěla silnými depresemi. Její básně se vyznačují vykreslováním kontrastů, protipólů, symbolismem, jsou velmi barvité a evokativní. V letech 1859-1870 pracovala jako dobrovolnice v domě pro bývalé prostitutky, kde se pro svou nejslavnější sbírku o hříchu a vykoupení Skřetí trh zcela jistě inspirovala. Kvůli zájmu o ženská témata je považována za průkopnici feminismu, ale těžištěm jejích alegorických textů romantického a metafyzického ladění je smrt. Co s tím? se ptáte. Já neodpovím. Ohledně smyslu, dím jen, Co já vím?

NEPŘÍTEL ZA BRANAMIKdysi mocné království Gilneas se ocitá v obležení zvenčí i zevnitř. Zatímco se podél jeho mohutné zdi shromažďují armády Opuštěných, dojde v hlavním městě k řadě brutálních vražd, které naznačují, že se mezi obyvateli skrývá daleko zlověstnější hrozba.Na scénu přichází Halford Ramsey, proslulý královský vyšetřovatel, který se nezastaví před ničím, aby nepolapitelného vraha dopadl. Při rozkrývání případu se Halford ocitá v ohnisku zájmu skutečných pachatelů vražd: worgenů, prokletých vlčích lidí, známých pouze z legend, a tajuplného „Vlčího kultu“, který je uctívá. Ramsey je záhy zatažen do deset tisíc let starého eposu, ve kterém nechybí láska, tragédie ani zrada, a který se točí kolem války prastarých nočních elfů proti démonické Plamenné legii. Halford, postižen kletbou worgenů, musí zkrotit zvíře zuřící v jeho nitru, a jednou provždy učinit přítrž ďábelskému spiknutí, jež hrozí zničením celého Gilneasu.Příběh plný záhad a bortících se říší vypráví Micky Neilson a James Waugh, s ilustracemi od Ludo Lullabiho a Tonyho Washingtona.

A hilariously funny and bonkers book which I thoroughly enjoyed ANNE GLENCONNER A witty, waspy, parody that hits its targets - hilarious HELEN LEDERERThe next in Daisy Waugh s hilarious Tode Hall series: a gloriously witty tale of toffs, terror and old school ties . . .The Todes are heading to Italy - and taking murder and mayhem with them. Close to Rome, set among ancient ruins and freshwater springs, languishes the magnificent Villa Rospo, a jewel in the Tode family portfolio, and one they had virtually forgotten - until Sir Ecgbert and Alice decide it s the perfect place for their honeymoon. Now suddenly everyone wants a piece.Sir Ecgbert s brother Esmé sees it as an opportunity to restore his lost fortunes by turning it into a luxury eco wellness hub. His business partner Charlie Tysedale only wants it to escape from his dreaded bestselling-author wife. India Tode sees in it the ideal holiday home, while Sir Ecgbert envisages a yoga retreat. Professional freeloader and everyone s old school chum, Piers Slayer-Wilson-Tite, has his eye on making it his personal love-nest. Meanwhile, some of the locals have excellent reasons for keeping it just the way it is. When the body of Piers s wife, Elizabetta, is discovered floating among grapefruits in the spring at the bottom of Villa Rospo s famous gardens, there s only one thing everyone agrees on . . . that there s absolutely no need to call the police.

Téma outsiderstva, človeka na okraji spoločnosti v kontraste so svetom etablovaných a úspešných patrí medzi zásadné témy najnovšej literatúry. Autorka vo svojom ostatnom románovom opuse rozohráva veľmi pútavý príbeh, práve takéhoto outsidera, ktorý sa stal outsiderom z vlastného rozhodnutia. Snaha okolia, priateľov žijúcich v iných svetoch pomôcť mu musí, celkom prirodzene viesť ku krachu. Autorka v tomto románe nemoralizuje, nepokúša sa, aspoň nie prvoplánovo vysielať akési posolstvá, napriek tomu jej dielo má skrytú hĺbku a chce povedať oveľa viac než sa na prvý pohľad môže zdať. Autorka dokázala, že aj napriek záľahe anglofónnej literatúry, je tu aj neprávom obchádzaná literatúra písaná v nemeckom jazyku, ktorá je nezaslúžene v tieni dominantnej angličtiny a dokáže svojim čitateľom prinášať skutočné literárne skvosty. Dielo Evelyn Grill nesporne patrí medzi to najlepšie, čo v poslednom čase vzniklo minimálne v európskom kontexte.
