Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Patrick OBrians Aubrey-Maturin tales are widely hailed as the greatest series of historical novels ever written. All eighteen books are to be re-issued in hardback by HarperCollins with stunning new jackets. At the opening of a voyage filled with disaster and delight, Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin are in pursuit of a privateer sailing under American colours through the Great South Sea. Stephens objective is to set the revolutionary tinder of South America ablaze to relieve the pressure on the British government which has blundered into war with the young and uncomfortably vigorous United States. The shock and barbarity of hand-to-hand fighting are sharpened by OBrians exact sense of period, his eye for landscape and his feel for a ship under sail.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Set amongst the rolling vineyards and gentle courtyards of a small seaside village in Catalonia, Patrick O'Brian's second novel is a poignant story of tumultuous love, complex faith and one man's desperate bid to reclaim his humanity. Summoned from his medical practice in China by a bevy of anxious aunts, Alain Roig returns to his Catalan hometown to discover he has been nominated by family members with vested interests in the ancestral property to prevent an impending marriage between his cold, ascetic cousin Xavier and Madeleine, a quiet, introspective village girl of unusual beauty. As Alain seeks to understand his cousin's complex motivations for wooing the unhappy girl, he is slowly drawn into Xavier's dark crisis of faith, the well-worn pattern of the sleepy Catalan days and the tight circle of village gossip that surrounds Madeleine. Throughout, Patrick O'Brian's slow, seductive narrative lures the reader into the landscapes, rhythms and passions of Catalonia, while his subtle, insightful characterisation paints a psychological portrait of a unique way of life and two very different men -- one generous and impulsive, the other desperate to revive in his soul the dying flames of affection which he senses could be his salvation. With themes and characters that in many ways prefigure his enormously successful Aubrey/Maturin series, THE CATALANS demonstrates all the insight, lyricism and psychological drama that made O'Brian one of the best storytellers of his generation.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Bound in publisher's cloth. Hardcover. No dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Small stains to some pages. Aubrey Bodine's photographic career began in 1923 when, as an office boy with the Baltimore Sun newspaper he submitted photographs of the Thomas Viaduct at Relay to the editor of the Sunday paper, and they were published. From first to last Aubrey Bodine was a newspaperman covering all sorts of stories with his camera â news events, famous people, unusual places, and curious activities. This gave him opportunities to travel throughout the mid Atlantic region and learn about it in every tide, wind, weather, and season. Out of this experience came remarkable documentary pictures of farming, oystering, hunting, soap boiling, blacksmithing, clock making, bricklaying and dozens of other occupations, student nurses, Amish children, pilots of ships and planes, country folk and city folk, wood sheds and cathedrals, wagons and railroad engines, and, in short, anything of interest. His documentary pictures are of the finest quality, often artistic in design and lighting effects beyond the usual standard of newspaper work. But Bodine's talent ran deeper than this, and so did his ambition. He submitted photographs to national and international salon competitions and consistently won top honors. Bodine believed that photography could be a creative discipline, and he studied the principles of art at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. The camera and the dark room equipment were tools to him like the painter's brush or the sculptor's chisel. Bodine was a romantic pictorialist and this shows in his choice of subjects: the old times and the old things, the beauties of nature, man as an individual, and similar ideas. The pictures are usually quiet in mood, partly because of the subdued tones and partly because of a low tension composition made of open curves and natural perspective. This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.

For the first time there is included in a single volume: The Marte D'Arthur Complete Salome (both published and suppressed versions) Complete Rape of the Lock Complete Volpone Suppressed illustrations for Lysistrata (including one never before published publicly) All miscellaneous drawings of importance (including a large section of privately printed early work) A collection of interesting forgeries claimed to be original Beardsleys Personal reminiscence and critical evaluation by Beardsley's iriencl, Arthur Symons Complete catalog of Beardsley's work revised by Beardsley himself. The tremendous revival of interest in Aubrey Beardsley is shown by the recordbreaking attendance at recent Beardsley shows in London and New York. Women's fashions and hairstyles are imitating the bold lines and stark coloring of Beardsley's domineering and mysterious females. Popular magazines and scholarly journals have devoted huge spreads to articles about this strange eccentric artist. Beardsley is definitely "in," and we are witnessing the same kind of craze that struck London in 1895. In this book we see why Beardsley continues to exert such a powerful hold on the imagination, even today. Because the illustrations are arranged chronologically we can follow the growth of his artistic genius through youthful trial and error into artistic maturity and the "Beardsley line." Much ofthe fascination of Beardsley's work is found in the fact that he produced furiously for only five years and died at the age of twenty~six. No other book combines the very best of Beardsley's own drawings with a text essential to a thorough understanding of the artist. The essay by Arthur Symons is a collector's item, often privately printed. It offers a magnificent portrait of the "Yellow 90's" by one who was a leader in many of its most interesting facets, and who knew personally nearly all the great artists and writers of the period; THE COLLECTED DRAWINGS OF AUBREY BEARDSLEY is an important work for those interested in the origins and development of modern art, and for those fascinated by a unique and splendid talent that flourished far too briefly.

Physical description; 288 p., [16] p. of plates : ill. (some col.), ports. ; 24 cm. Summary; She is a mystery without a name. The years when she brought delight, desire and disgust to Shakespeare came after the Spanish Armada of 1588 and before the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a long, unsettled period of theatre, music, warfare and brutal death. Those years were dramatically rich. Shakespeare wrote plays including Romeo & Juliet, Twelfth Night, and King Lear. And he met the 'Dark Lady'. She was musical, alluring, married and faithless. Shakespeare never identified her. Scholars have - but for different women. She was well-born, or a slut, or a housewife, even a phantom of Shakespeare's poetical mind. She was an anchor and agony to him. His sonnets sang of her loveliness and cursed her for her infidelity. The quest to discover her name began in Elizabeth's reign, became an obsession in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and continues today. Card-sharps challenge passers by to 'find the lady' from one of the three playing-cards shown, turned upside-down and shuffled. Take your pick. Aubrey Burl's challenge also is to find her. But there is no deception. The 'Dark Lady' can be found in Shakespeare's unshuffled sonnets.Includes 40 illustrations - 8 in colour. Subjects; Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 Relations with women.

Aubrey Bodine's photographic career began in 1923 when, as an office boy with the Baltimore Sun newspaper he submitted photographs of the Thomas Viaduct at Relay to the editor of the Sunday paper, and they were published. From first to last Aubrey Bodine was a newspaperman covering all sorts of stories with his camera â news events, famous people, unusual places, and curious activities. This gave him opportunities to travel throughout the mid Atlantic region and learn about it in every tide, wind, weather, and season. Out of this experience came remarkable documentary pictures of farming, oystering, hunting, soap boiling, blacksmithing, clock making, bricklaying and dozens of other occupations, student nurses, Amish children, pilots of ships and planes, country folk and city folk, wood sheds and cathedrals, wagons and railroad engines, and, in short, anything of interest. His documentary pictures are of the finest quality, often artistic in design and lighting effects beyond the usual standard of newspaper work. But Bodine's talent ran deeper than this, and so did his ambition. He submitted photographs to national and international salon competitions and consistently won top honors. Bodine believed that photography could be a creative discipline, and he studied the principles of art at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. The camera and the dark room equipment were tools to him like the painter's brush or the sculptor's chisel. Bodine was a romantic pictorialist and this shows in his choice of subjects: the old times and the old things, the beauties of nature, man as an individual, and similar ideas. The pictures are usually quiet in mood, partly because of the subdued tones and partly because of a low tension composition made of open curves and natural perspective.

Hardcover. New York World's Fair Edition. 3 p., 94, [2] p. illus. 20 cm. Includes Illustrations. The author was Staff Commentator of the Richmond News Leader of Richmond, Virginia. This work was copyrighted in 1938. This work was inspired by a series of articles written by the author in 1937 for The Richmond News Leader. These were later reprinted in pamphlet form for the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce. This may be the first hardcover edition. At the New York World's Fair visitors would be able to see the processes that this book described. Machines would actually roll and pack Lucky Strikes. Dioramas would show how tobacco was grown and how it was sold at the tobacco auctions. Then the visitors were able to see a motion picture of how the tobacco was handled. From an on-line posting: "Richmond, Va., journalist and author. Oldest child of Dr. Roy Knight and Lucy Gatesby (Jones) Flannagan. Born in Charlottesville, Va., and moved with his family to Richmond in 1912. Attended John Marshall High School. Attended the University of Virginia before joining the U.S. Army Air Corps and serving as a fighter pilot during World War I. After the war, Flannagan began his newspaper career with the Richmond Virginian. In 1920, after working for a succession of small newspapers, he joined the staff of the Atlanta Journal, where he wrote for the Sunday magazine supplement. Also writing for the Journal was Gladys Victoria Iler, an Indiana native and graduate of Butler University in Indianapolis. The two were married in March 1922. The following year the couple moved to Richmond, where Flannagan began his three-decade career with the Richmond News Leader." From Wikipedia: "Lucky Strike is an American brand of cigarette owned by the British American Tobacco groups. Often referred to as "Luckies", Lucky Strike was the top selling cigarette in the United States during the 1930s. The brand was first introduced by R.A. Patterson of Richmond, Virginia, in 1871 as cut-plug chewing tobacco and later a cigarette. In 1905, the company was acquired by the American Tobacco Company (ATC). In 1917, the brand started using the slogan, "It's Toasted", to inform consumers about the manufacturing method in which the tobacco is toasted rather than sun-dried, a process touted as making the cigarettes taste more desirable. In the late 1920s, the brand was sold as a route to thinness for women. One typical ad said, "Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet." Sales of Lucky Strikes increased by more than 300% during the first year of the advertising campaign. Sales went from 14 billion cigarettes in 1925 to 40 billion sold in 1930, making Lucky Strike the leading brand nationwide. Lucky Strike's association with radio music programs began during the 1920s on NBC. By 1928, the bandleader and vaudeville producer B. A. Rolfe was performing on radio and recording as "B.A. Rolfe and his Lucky Strike Orchestra" for Edison Records. In 1935, ATC began to sponsor Your Hit Parade, featuring North Carolina tobacco auctioneer Lee Aubrey "Speed" Riggs (later, another tobacco auctioneer from Lexington, Kentucky, F.E. Boone, was added). The weekly radio show's countdown catapulted the brand's success, remaining popular for 25 years. The shows capitalized on the tobacco auction theme and each ended with the signature phrase "Sold, American." The company's advertising campaigns generally featured a theme that stressed the quality of the tobacco purchased at auction for use in making Lucky Strike cigarettes and claimed that the higher quality tobacco resulted in a cigarette with better flavor. American engaged in a series of advertisements using Hollywood actors as endorsers of Lucky Strike, including testimonials from Douglas Fairbanks, concerning the cigarette's flavor. Lucky Strike was also a sponsor of comedian Jack Benny's radio and TV show, The Jack Benny Show, which was also introduced as The Lucky Strike Program.

Born in the obscure past of dark~age Britain, Arthur created a kingdom governed by justice and generosity and protected by the most noble order of chivalric knights. This dream world of Camelot was celebrated generation after generation throughout the centuries. But Arthur's destiny was marked with tragedy. Corrupted by rivalry and betrayal, the peaceful kingdon fell to the ravages of war. Mortally wounded in battle, Arthur was taken by gentle queens to the Isle of Avalon to rest and heal until one distant day when his country would call for his return. With this promise of Arthur's return, the myth becomes a story without end, one that begs to be told again, and again. Wrapped in the mists of Avalon since the Middle Ages, the Once and Future King made his promised return in the nineteenth century. The Return of King Arthur: The Legend through Victorian Eyes celebrates the unprecedented revival of the Arthurian legend in the arts and popular culture of Victorian Britain (1837~1901). In a rich array of poetry, painting, children's stories, and plays, Arthur and his noble knights and ladies were reborn. The legend was not simply revived: the new generation reinvented the saga and its heroes in their own image, creating metaphors for their notions of monarchy, the roles of men and women in society, and the proper path for children to follow. In The Return of King Arthur, Debra N. Mancoff reveals why the legend resonated so deeply during Victoria's reign. Retold in the poetry of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, William Morris, and Sir Walter Scott, and envisioned in the paintings of the Pre~Raphaelite Brotherhood and in book illustrations by such artists as Arthur Rackham and Aubrey Beardsley, the legend of King Arthur and his compatriots in chivalry became the code for every facet of Victorian culture. Informative and entertaining, and handsomely illustrated with more than 130 evocative and heroic works of art, The Return of King Arthur captures the romance of this age~old legend and shows us how the Victorian words and images have shaped our own great interest in it today.

In the midst of the Hundred Years War, the city was gripped by famine. Bands of discharged soldiers rampaged, pillaging and raping wherever they went. People were in constant fear of being robbed or having their properties looted. Starving wolves crossed the Seine and killed Parisian babies for food. Above the mêlée Gilles de Rais ~ the original Bluebeard ~ practised his diabolical craft of child abuse and alchemy. Into this world, and in the same year as the execution of France's heroine and hope Joan of Arc, was born François Villon 1431~1463 ?). He grew up to be one of the great enigmas of French medieval history: a lyric poet of surpassing beauty and depth, he was also a murderer, pimp, thief and denizen of the seething underworld of contemporary Paris. Born into a peasant family, Villon was adopted by a priest and sent to university. Very soon he took his first steps on a life of crime when he was publicly flogged outside the home of a young woman he had slandered. In 1455 he became involved in a scuffle which ended with his killing a priest. The rest of his short life was a round of arrests, imprisonment and torture, save for a heady period at the chateau of Charles, Duc d'Orléans, one of the most civilised and artistic courts in Europe. He was finally implicated in a killing of which he was probably innocent. He fled, never to be seen again. This biographical tour de force takes apart the man and his age, seeking out the truth behind the poet's crimes, and the truth within the criminal's poetry. Scandal, iniquity, poverty and great art are here. To read it is to be transported to another world.

Dean King tells the story of a man, an artist and an intellectual, born Richard Patrick Russ, who first achieves literary recognition as an adolescent, when he publishes a series of popular adventure stories. After the Second World War, he emerges as Patrick O'Brian, a writer of dark, sometimes tortured short stories and highly literary novels. He enjoyes success as a translator, even as a biographer. Slowly, the O'Brian persona, forged in his own imagination and refined by years of rumour and speculation, takes form, until his ultimate triumphant arrival as a masterful historical novelist and chronicler of the Royal Navt during the Napoleonic wars. O'Brian's past - both real and imagined - is linked directly to his writing, as he drew deeply on the painful events of his early life. It has long been assumed that he himself was the model for the polymathic naval surgeon and intelligence agent Stephen Maturin, who, along with rough-and-tumble Captain Jack Aubrey, forms the heart of O'Brian's monumental roman-fleuve. The truth is more complex: each of these indelible characters is wholly original, yet in each we can hear deep echoes of O'Brian's own history. King's biography, the first ever in this famously secretive man, is an extraordinary achievement, a vivid, searing portrait of an intense and complex human being, whose grudges were as fiercely held as his loyalties; who was as famous for orneriness as he was for brilliant artistic creation; and whose encyclopedic knowledge of everything from ornithology to Catalan history delighted hundreds of thousands of readers and will surely enthrall generations to come.
