Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Bull-free recipes, from the Backyard Burger to Turbo Prawn Cocktail? Yes. Sobriety-baiting cocktails, like the New Cross Negroni and Corpse Reviver No. 69? Check. Guest recipes from a host of like-minded chefs and restaurants, including Bone Daddies and Gizzi Erskine? Indeed. Tales of drunkenness, excess and abject humiliation at the hands of megaphone-touting barmaids in bikini tops? Got it. Disquisitions on subjects as diverse as the etiquette of queuing and the benefits of beer cans over bottles, especially for dolphins? Naturally. A running treatise on aesthetics by Man Booker Prize-winning author DBC Pierre allied to the history of MEATliquor, from Peckham car park to Britain's best meat and liquor restaurants? But of course! A total and absolute disregard for the conventions of cookery-book writing? Do you really need to ask? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Good. In this, his eighth book of poetry, Mark Doty's subjects - our mortal situation, the evanescent beauty of the world, desire's transformative power and poetry's ability to give shape to human lives - echo and develop. The first poem, 'Pipistrelle', is a typically eloquent disquisition on the art of communication prompted by the flight of a bat - 'an inky signature too fast to trace' - and is followed by an extraordinary series of meditations and variations on this theme. The poet listens to cicadas, to Handel, to the calling of birds, to Juan the loquacious Mexican taxi driver; he steeps himself in the colour and incident of the streets and subways of New York City; he goes for a never-ending chi-gong massage and is visited by the shades of Berryman and Whitman. As the images accumulate and cohere, guided by Doty's unique style - both plainspoken and sophisticated, both wry and profound - we arrive at a new understanding of the way we live and the world we live in. He shows us what we love and its magnificent fragility - that 'the house of beauty is a house of flames' - and we see, once again, why he is regarded as one of America's most recognisable and most significant poets. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 31 Illustrations on Plates (illustrator). First Edition. Dust jacket unclipped in clear protective sleeve, slightly faded. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 31 Illustrations on Plates. 329 pages clean and tight. The seventy-three years separating the Wars of the Roses from the accession of Elizabeth I embrace an era well explored by historians but too often passed over by literary critics, possibly because it did not witness the creation of any really major works or the establishment of firm standards of poetic achievement. Now that the old antithesis between "medieval" and "renaissance" is becoming blurred, it may be more easily perceived from the literature of the early Tudors how classical, medieval and humanist influences worked together in the experimental climate of the time. The author has set himself to examine various aspects of a period when relations between history, particularly social history, and literature were exceptionally close, for many members of the literary "chorus" were themselves men who played significant roles in public affairs and in the several movements towards reappraisal and reform in England and Scctt'.a 1 i. As English developed into a language of description and philosophical disquisition mparable with Italian and French and fit to supplant Latin, the conditions essential for the flowering of Elizabethan letters were gradually created; just as in civil, political and ecclesiastical matters a new order of government, its power vested in the person of the sovereign, evolved out of the anarchy of the previous century. The Chorus of History (1485-1558) forms the third volume of a series on History and Literature of which the General Editor is R. W. Harris. Size: 8vo.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jared T. Williams (illustrator). US Edn. Paper covered boards, cloth spine, gilt titling. Illus d/w, NOT PRICE CLIPPED. Corners and head/tail of spine slightly bumped. Previous owners inscription on e/p, crossed out. 148 pp. Illus in black/white. Illus t/p. CLEAN TIGHT AND BRIGHT. In this beautiful account of thirty years of living with dogs, wolves, and dingoes and of the ways their lives intertwined with her own, the novelist and anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas brings us a completely new understanding of dogs by writing a sort of deeply truthful ethological poem, a loving yet absolutely unsentimental chronicle of the lives of a dozen dogs based on hundreds of thousands of hours of observation. Meet Misha, a husky who daily jumped the fence and roamed a suburban territory of 160 square miles, and Maria, his true love, who bore his first puppies and then, after he moved away with new owners, gave herself indifferently to any adequate male passerby. Meet Bingo, the anxious and asthmatic pug who risked life itself to protect what he regarded as the Thomas' territory. Watch the Thomas dogs forming themselves surreptitiously into the domestic equivalent of a wolf pack. Read this book, and you will learn more about how dogs think, and what dogs want, than you have ever suspected. What matters most to dogs? Simple: other dogs. But since dogs have been living with humans for thirty thousand years, "dogs need us more than we need them, and they know it." The Hidden Life of Dogs is a poignant, entertaining, sometimes heartbreaking little book, vividly illustrated with drawings of the ways dogs behave. This is no training manual (Thomas doesn't train her dogs, but lets them train themselves), nor an abstract disquisition on canines. But whether or not a dog is part of your life, and no matter how much you think you know already, you will learn something new about dogs here - something no other book will tell you. ; 002813; 8vo.

Paperback. Condition: Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition, some minor creasing to cover. From Publishers Weekly Conversations, most of them between an American writer living in London and his English mistress, make up what PW called "a clever comedy of manners that segues as is the author's wont into a disquisition on the distinction between literature and life." From Library Journal Philip, a successful, middle-aged, and highly opinionated Jewish-American novelist, moves to a small flat in London to work on his new book. He begins seeing a married Englishwoman in his spare time, and soon he has filled a notebook with their pre and post-coital conversations. When he publishes this document as a novel, his indignant mistress accuses him of deceiving both her and his public. The book ends with Philip's impassioned defense of self-referential fiction. The issue, however, is not self-referential fiction in general but simply Roth's own peculiar version of it, which consists mostly of unabashed editorializing through the mouthpiece of Philip. A textbook example of the novel as soapbox, Deception will appeal only to Roth's most steadfast supporters.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When the young Ishmael gets on board Captain Ahabs whaling ship, little does he suspect that the mission on which he is about to embark is the fulfilment of his masters obsessive desire for revenge on Moby Dick, a white whale who has already claimed countless human victims and destroyed many fleets. With some sinister crew members in their midst and the hazardous conditions of the sea to contend with, the expedition becomes increasingly dangerous the closer it gets to its quarry.One of the great American novels, if not the greatest, Moby Dick epically combines rip-roaring adventure, a meticulously realistic portrayal of the whaling trade and a profound philosophical disquisition on the nature of good and evil. Part of Alma Classics Evergreens series of popular classics, this edition is thoroughly edited and extensively annotated, features an insightful foreword by Jay Parini and includes pictures and a comprehensive section on Melville's life and works.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'he looked up wistfully in my face, and gravely asked - "Mamma, why are you so wicked?"' The mysterious new tenant of Wildfell Hall has a dark secret. But as the captivated Gilbert Markham will discover, it is not the story circulating among local gossips. Living under an assumed name, 'Helen Graham' is the estranged wife of a dissolute rake, desperate to protect her son from his destructive influence. Her diary entriesreveal the shocking world of debauchery and cruelty from which she has fled. Combining a sensational story of a man's physical and moral decline through alcohol, a study of marital breakdown, a disquisition on the care andupbringing of children, and a hard-hitting critique of the position of women in Victorian society, this passionate tale of betrayal is set within a stern moral framework tempered by Anne Bronte's optimistic belief in universal redemption. Drawing on her first-hand experiences with her brother Branwell, Bronte's novel scandalized contemporary readers. It still retains its power to shock. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has madeavailable the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
