Imprint: Toronto, Harlequin, 1991 Lucinda Neville had hit upon a famous idea. By proposing marriage to her childhood friend and country neighbour, she would save him from the sponging house and he would save her from the Marriage Mart. But before the betrothal could be made official, Lucinda agreed to endure one Season in Town, though she was certain it would not make one whit of difference. She had not reckoned on the fatal charms of Beau Devereux or the unexpected flurry of Cupid's arrows that left more than just one lovesick couple in their wake.. Book. Book Condition: As New.

Imprint: London, Doubleday, 2010 Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - eating, sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. And that most f the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we live. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything and everything, from architecture to electricity, from food preservation to epidemics, from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower, from crinolines to toilets; and on the brilliant, creative and often eccentric minds behind them. And he discovered that, although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives, there is a huge amount of history, interest and excitement - and even a little danger - lurking in the corners of every home..

Imprint: London, Orion, 1999 Now, the young, widowed lady-in-waiting is back, once again defending her mistress, Queen Elizabeth I--this time from a plot to overthrow the Queen and usurp her throne, a task that will test Ursula's sharp wits and investigative skills to the limits. Torn between her duties and her personal life, Ursula has asked permission from the Queen to leave the court for a time. But Queen Elizabeth will only grant that request if Ursula will first assist Sir William Cecil in his investigation of a troubling plot against Elizabeth--one that could place her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots, on the throne of England. Ursula's role will test her sharp eyes and cunning wiles. Already, one of Cecil's most trusted spies is dead. As Ursula follows directions and joins the household of her old friends Ann and Leonard Mason-now under suspicion of involvement in this Catholic plot-Ursula knows her own life may depend on her abilities to discover the truth in a dangerous web of deceit..

This volume recounts the campaigns in Greece and Crete in 1941 that were overwhelmed by the Nazi invasion of Greece "In the campaign in Greece and the battle for Crete the tale is of military failure, mainly due to the German command of the air over both land and sea. But the skill and endurance of British forces staved off utter disaster in Greece and made the Germans pay a heavy and unwelcome price for their conquest of the crisis prevailing in the Middle East in the spring of 1941 but also in relation to the whole trend of the war during those momentous months. The effort sacrifice and disappointment in Greece and Crete were by no means vain "340p.maps.index. Book. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Soft cover Stock number: 34354. ISBN: 9602260416

Imprint: Warsaw, Grupa Wydawnicza Bertelsmann Media, 2001 Perfectly documented, enriched compared to the previous edition from 2001, a unique, revealing biography of Bruno Schulz. It presents the fate of an artist who was forgotten for many years and is now considered one of the most original artists of the 20th century. It is the culmination of many years of work and painstaking research by the author, who follows the writer's fate with great insight and talks about it movingly. It covers Schulz's entire life - from his family roots, through the years of "torment", i.e. working at a junior high school, his engagement, and finally - the period of occupation, the ghetto, Nalkowska's unsuccessful attempts to save the writer and the tragic circumstances of his death.Bruno Schulz (12 July 1892 - 19 November 1942) was a Polish Jewish writer, fine artist, literary critic and art teacher.[ He is regarded as one of the great Polish-language prose stylists Several of Schulz's works were lost in the Holocaust, including short stories from the early 1940s and his final, unfinished novel The Messiah. Schulz was shot and killed by a Gestapo officer, in 1942 while walking back home toward Drohobycz Ghetto with a loaf of bread.] 236 illus. bibliography .. Book. Book Condition: New.

Imprint: New York, Discus Books/ Avon, 1970 Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), one of the indisputably great writers of the twentieth century, was born in Buenos Aires. Never having been awarded the Nobel Prize, which his readers worldwide believed he deserved, this story writer, poet, essayist, and man of letters died at age eighty-six. This anthology of interviews with him features more than a dozen conversations that cover all phases of his life and work.Conducted between 1964 and 1984, the interviews reveal Borges to be a remarkably candid, humorous man, by turns skeptical and enthusiastic, and always a singularly incisive and adventurous thinker. He discusses his blindness, his family and childhood, early travels, literary friends, and struggles to find his literary identity. In depth he examines the meanings and intentions of his own famous stories and poems, and he speaks of the writers whose works he has loved.157p,Crisp tight unmarked copy.. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Soft cover Stock number: 045236.
