Love And War In The Pyrenees - Rosemary Bailey

A vivid blend of history and travel and a sweeping story of collaboration and resistance, fear and heroism, pacifism and sacrifice all set against the backdrop of the Pyrenees.''A beguiling mix of travel, memoir, history and good old-fashioned storytelling - a slice of hidden France'' Kate Mosse''Combining memoir, fact and storytelling, Bailey does an impressive job'' INDEPENDENT''A moving account of of the region during World War Two'' TIME OUTOver the fifteen years Rosemary has been living in the region, the more she realised she didn''t know about the war; about the French during the Occupation, the real role of the Resistance, the level of collaboration, the concentration camps in the Pyrenees and the treatment of Jews and other refugees. It is still very much a veiled history and most of the archives remain firmly closed.LOVE AND WAR IN THE PYRENEES is a portrait of human tragedy, heroism and cruelty that will create a picture of the period from a contemporary angle, the history linked to sights that can still be visited, and brought to life by letters, interviews and encounters with people today, including the historians currently trying to investigate what really happened.

But her desire for self-actualisation only ends up leading her into the orbit of a happily married man. A spiky, self-conscious love affair begins, complete with awful dinner dates, devastating kisses and agonising introspection. Can Arabella realise what she wants? Can she escape the trap of being sexy, good and likable?Back in print after many decades, this is an outstanding novel by an extraordinary and little-known writer, the inimitable Rosemary Tonks.''Salted with wit and peppered with clever images'' Guardian‘At their best, the novels are feats of Tonks’s earlier personality, shining and acrid in its ‘fierce hot-blooded sulkiness’… the glittering triumph of an unscathable ego’ London Review of Books‘Writing like this…is far too beautiful and accomplished to be kept off the shelf.

Painting in the 1980s - Rosemary Cohane Erpf

This book is the first to explore, in depth, major painters of the period and the factors that shaped their art. Accessible to both art novice and specialist, it is written in jargon-free, readable language, blending vignettes about the soaring art market of the eighties with illuminating interpretations of paintings by leading artists from around the world. Painting in the 1980s details where and how painting embodied the zeitgeist of the 1980s in original fusions of style and content. Erpf knows each artist’s work well, and her discussions of the individual paintings are vivid and insightful. They bring the vitality of the art world in this understudied period to the fore. The individual descriptions and discussions of paintings are lively, engaging and provocative. They infuse each chapter with the author’s passion for the subject and carry the reader along. The thematics – painting as puzzle, German history, Italian place – hold each chapter together and set the foundation for the author’s original thinking and point of view. This book explores painting by a broad swathe of artists who were at the heart of that painting resurgence. The many books that examine twentieth-century art tend to emphasize painting as part of ...

Penhaligon's The Favourite - EDP 100 ml

The Favourite od Penhaligon's je dámská květinově-dřevitá parfémová voda s pižmovými podtóny. Tato parfémová voda vzdává hold okouzlující, přitažlivé a temperamentní ženě, kterou je tato vůně inspirována - Sarah Churchillové, vévodkyni z Marlborough. Vůně se otevírá štavnatou mandarinkou a vzdušným spojením fialky a frézie. Vůni zabarvuje do zlata zářivá mimóza, jedinečnou medově hřejivou vůni přináší jasmín Sambac a kosatec a vytváří tak mlhavý, pudrový dojem. Jasný a éterický charakter základu spočívá ve spojení santalového dřeva, ambroxanu a pižma. Penhaligon's Lon­don je britský parfumérský dům založený v roce 1870 Williamem Penhaligonem. Dům Penhaligon's, který vznikl původně jako holičství, nabídl svou první vůni v roce 1872, Hammam Bouquet. Vůně byly pravidelně vydávány z původního obchodu na Jermyn Street, dokud nebyl zničen v roce 1941. Obchod zmizel, ale vůně společnosti vydržely a v roce 1956 byla Penhaligon's u­dělena cena Royal Warrant od vévody z Edinburghu. Vůni vytvořila Alienor Massenet v roce 2020.

The Favourite Game - Leonard Cohen

This warm and lyrical semi-autobiographical first novel by singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen charts the coming of age of Lawrence Breavman, the only son of a Jewish Montreal family.‘Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the world is made flesh.’Lawrence Breavman seeks two things: love and beauty. Beginning with the innocent games of delicious misadventure with first love Lisa and the absorbing wanders through Montreal with best friend Krantz, Breavman''s tale is a distant echo of ‘Catcher in the Rye’ and ‘Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ – injected with 1960s aesthetics and Cohen’s unique poetry. As Breavman grows into a young man, the emerging writer continues his quest for beauty and love, finding himself in the arms of Shell and a burgeoning realisation of his own talent for appreciating majesty in the grotesque.Semi-autobiographical, the angst and beauty of Cohen’s voice deftly channel the painful confusion of the journey into adulthood, and the friendships, wars and lovers that are our guides.

What Next for Britain in the Middle East?

As the UK enters a period of intense public introspection in the wake of Brexit, this book takes on one of the key questions emerging from the divisive process: what is Britain’s place in the world? The Middle East is one of the regions the UK has been most engaged in historically.

The Ultimate Christmas Cracker - John Julius Norwich

In 1969, John Julius Norwich, the legendary popular historian, gathered together the favourite things he''d come across in the last 365 days into one short charming pamphlet. Initially just a treat for his friends, it rapidly turned into a huge word-of-mouth success. And soon the arrival of John Julius Norwich''s latest ''Christmas Cracker'' became as essential a part of the English Christmas experience as holly and mistletoe. Norwich had a brilliant eye for a story and telling detail, and his Crackers are full of jokes, warmth and wit. Here in one bumper book is his final and 50th Christmas Cracker, alongside all the very best bits as picked out by his daughter Artemis Cooper. This is the perfect Christmas gift.
