ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cavafy, C. P. / Cavafy / Keeley, Edmund, PUBLISHER: Ecco Press, Cavafy's mythical world presents us with an image of the good life--the life of exquisite sensuality, refined tastes, and mixed faiths--that more often than not carries within it the ripening prospect of its own death; yet in his work there appears to be no other life more worthy of celebration....

Literary Memoirs

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lastarria, Jose Victorino / Lastarria, Jos? Victorino / Nunn, Frederick M., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Novelist, scholar, journalist, statesman, and leading member of Chile's "Generation of "--an intellectual movement so named for the founding of the National University--Jose Victorino Lastarria () lived his life at the forefront of nineteenth-century Chilean and Spanish American culture, literature, and politics. Recuerdos Literarios (or Literary Memoirs) is his masterpiece, encompassing the candid memories of a tireless activist, both the creative and critical sensibilities of an influential Latin American early modernist, and an eyewitness account of the development of Chilean literature and historiography. An ardent, eloquent participant in every defining artistic and ideological debate in Chile during the formative mid-s, Lastarria recorded his epoch as closely as he did his own origins, education, ambitions, and career. Sometimes reminiscent of Montaigne's essays, Eca de Quieroz's journalism, or Barbusse's didactic convictions, Literary Memoirs is an engrossing account of Chile's newly ordained nationhood. This addition to Oxford's prestigious Library of Latin America series is more than a retelling of things past; it is an informed yet informal testament to the idea of chilenidad (or "Chileanness") and a detailed portrait of one of Chile's cultural architects. For this new edition of Literary Memoirs, Frederick M. Nunn's introduction presents an informative historical background and R. Kelly Washbourne's translation carefully preserves Lastarria's form and content.

Thomas Lawrence

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ashton, Geoffrey, PUBLISHER: Chaucer Press, Sir Thomas Lawrence painted some of the best known and loved images of the Regency period, Cherry Ripe, Pinkie and Master William Lambton (The Red Boy) which became some of the most famous images of Victorian and early twentieth century times. However, Lawrence's real genius was to bring to life a huge cross-section of late Georgian and Regency society. These range from the elderly and kindly Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, to the swashbuckling grandees of parliament and church. Lawrence had an uncanny ability to bring society to life, even when he was painting the Archbishop of Canterbury. Today, he is also regarded as the leading portrait painter of the whole of Europe of his time, and is best seen in the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle, where the Pope presides over the allied monarchs of Europe who defeated Napoleon. This beautifully illustrated book contains some of his finest work.
