''Living with him was like living at the centre of the universe. It was electrifying and humbling, blissful and destructive, all at the same time.''Paris, 1936. When Dora Maar, a talented French photographer, painter and poet, is introduced to Pablo Picasso, she is mesmerized by his dark and intense stare. Drawn to his volcanic creativity, it isn''t long before she embarks on a passionate relationship with the Spanish artist that sometimes includes sadism and masochism, and ultimately pushes her to the edge.The Paris Muse is the fictionalized retelling of this disturbing love story, as we follow Dora on her journey of self-discovery and expression. Set in Paris and the French Riviera, where Dora and Pablo spent their holidays with their glamorous artist friends, it provides a fascinating insight into how Picasso was a genius who side-stepped the rules in his human relationships as he did in his art. Much to Dora''s torment, he refused to divorce his wife and conducted affairs with Dora''s friends. The Spanish Civil War made him depressed and violent, an angst that culminated in his acclaimed painting ''Guernica'', which Dora documented as he painted.As the encroaching darkness suffocates their relationship - a darkness that escalates once ...

A portable cockney kit, a pocket glossary of rhyming cockney slang, intended for quick and easy reference.Conventionally, a cockney is anyone born ''within the sound of Bow Bells'' - St Mary-le-Bow church, in London - but rather than fixating on Dirty Den from Eastenders, Dickensian villains or Pearly Kings and Queens, perhaps we should focus rather on comedian Arthur Smith''s definition, which may be nearer the mark: a cockney is simply a ''non-posh Londoner''.This pocket glossary is intended for quick and easy reference; it''s a portable cockney kit. Supposedly rhyming cockney slang was originally invented to outwit authority and eavesdroppers. Whether that''s true or not, it remains a closed language to the uninitiated. But its humour is too good to be missed, which is, in large part, the rationale for this compact, entertaining volume.Very rarely does a true cockney use his or her ''loaf of bread'' (head); a cockney uses simply their ''loaf''. Where slang is abbreviated in this way, examples are given. Of course, rhyming cockney slang is constantly evolving and being added to, so this pocket guide cannot be the last word, but it offers a dependably solid foundation.Gemini PocketsFrom little guides to soothe your soul to all-access ...

''Respectable people... What bastards!''Unjustly deported to Devil''s Island following Louis-Napoleon''s coup-d''état in December 1851, Florent Quenu escapes and returns to Paris. He finds the city changed beyond recognition. The old Marché des Innocents has been knocked down as part of Haussmann''s grand programme of urban reconstruction to make way for Les Halles, the spectacular new food markets. Disgusted by a bourgeois society whose devotion to food is inseparable from its devotion to the Government, Florent attempts an insurrection. Les Halles, apocalyptic and destructive, play an active role in Zola''s picture of a world in which food and the injustice of society are inextricably linked.The Belly of Paris (Le Ventre de Paris) is the third volume in Zola''s famous cycle of twenty novels, Les Rougon-Macquart. It introduces the painter Claude Lantier and in its satirical representation of the bourgeoisie and capitalism complements Zola''s other great novels of social conflict and urban poverty.

George Orwell is a difficult author to summarize. He was a would-be revolutionary who went to Eton, a political writer who abhorred dogma, a socialist who thrived on his image as a loner, and a member of the Imperial Indian Police who chronicled the iniquities of imperialism. Both the books in this volume were published in the 1930s, a \"a low, dishonest decade,\" as his coeval W.H. Auden described it. Orwell's subjects in Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier are the political and social upheavals of his time. He focusses on the sense of profound injustice, incipient violence, and malign betrayal that were ubiquitous in Europe in the 1930s. Orwell's honesty, courage, and sense of decency are inextricably bound up with the quasi-colloquial style that imbues his work with its extraordinary power. His descriptions of working in the slums of Paris, living the life of a tramp in England, and digging for coal with miners in the North make for a thoughtful, riveting account of the lives of the working poor and of one man's search for the truth.Our edition includes the following essays: Marrakech; How the Poor Die; Antisemitism in Britain; Notes ...
