COCKERELS AND VULTURES
(NO EXCLUSIONS)
While fighting on the Western Front in 1917 this artillery officer’s volume of war poetry, Les Coqs et les Vautours (Cockerels and Vultures), had just been published in Paris. It was singled out for praise by the Académie Française in 1918 before falling, unaccountably, into obscurity. For almost 90 years this outstanding French poet of the First World War was unknown in his own country. The chance finding of a slim and musty little volume of his poetry at a jumble sale in France in 2008 was a revelation to the finder and Granier was republished and astonished French readers. Though he is stylistically very different, some compare Granier with Guillaume Apollinaire. He also stands comparison with the best of British war poets. Now English-speaking readers can encounter this remarkable talent through Ian Higgins’ impressive translation.

HOW TO BE HAPPY

This is the fascinating account of how, in 1958, Nina Rootes virtually fell into the movie biz in Rome. Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Marcello Mastroianni were huge stars and the biggest star of all at the box office was Alberto Sordi, for whom Nina unexpectedly found herself working. She also played leading roles in the dubbing of foreign films into English. She met stars like David Niven, Peter Ustinov and Jack Palance. She writes like a dream, so that you are right there with her, and gain an insight into the golden age of European films in the sixties and seventies.

SONOMA WINE & THE STORY OF BUENA VISTA
(EXCLUDING: LATIN AMERICA (EXCEPT MEXICO)
The beginning of history for California wine starts with 17th century Jesuits and the Mission Grape. But the industry, the commercial powerhouse that commands 60% of the US market, was birthed 200 years later, the product of a Hungarian aristocrat, European grapes and the Sonoma Valley. Wine historian Charles L Sullivan gives the deep and detailed history of Sonoma wine viewed through the foreground of the turbulent story of California’s first commercial winery, Buena Vista, from its founding by brilliant but quixotic Agoston Haraszthy, through phyloxera plague and the dry years of prohibition to its present-day market prominence. Sonoma Wine and the Story of Buena Vista is a scholarly study of two centuries of California wine history, told in a riveting narrative that will engage and delight.

Their relationship was formalised when Shelley’s wife committed suicide, but Mary and Shelley continued to be social outcasts because of their unconventional domestic life and Shelley’s unforgivable atheism.

FANNY ELSSLER: THE PAGAN BALLERINA
Fanny Elssler was one of the most brilliant stars of the Romantic ballet. The accepted rival of Taglioni, she represented the passionate expression of the dance. Her style found its true expression in her famous Spanish character dance: the Cachucha, but even more, it was her dramatic genius that conquered the audiences before whom she appeared. In Ivor Guest's biography her performances come vividly to life through eye-witness accounts, and the story of her life is told with a wealth of detail, much of it hitherto unpublished. Based on wide research, this is a definitive study of one of the greatest figures in the history of ballet.

THE DANCE THEATRE OF JEAN COCTEAU
In an artistic career spanning five decades, and for which he was best known as poet, artist, dramatist, designer and film-maker, Jean Cocteau was also involved directly, and indirectly, with nearly twenty ballets. His creations, in collaboration with composers, and choreographers, were fully integrated theatre pieces. Frank Ries researched all of Cocteau's ballets and, using interviews, Cocteau's own writings, reviews and critiques – some of which have never previously been translated – presents this survey and analysis of Cocteau's involvement in the world of dance.

THE ROMANTIC BALLET IN ENGLAND
In the development of ballet the Romantic period was a golden age which has passed into theatrical legend. Of the many centres of ballet activity in those fruitful years, London made a unique contribution of exceptional importance. In the 1840s, Jules Perrot produced an incredible series of masterpieces in which an unprecedented galaxy of ballerinas were featured dancing alongside one another. This, the most glorious achievement of the Romantic ballet, provides the highlight of Ivor Guest’s classic study which also describes the developments which led up to it and the sad decline that shortly afterwards overtook ballet with almost dramatic
suddenness. AUTHOR: IVOR GUEST ISBN: 978 1 85273 170 0 24 BLACK & WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS

Mart Laar’s book “The Power of Freedom” offers an unprecedentedly compact overview of the history of Central and Eastern Europe since 1945.

Additionally, Mart Laar’s role at the epicentre of economic reforms as the Prime Minister of Estonia, provides a basis for particularly insightful analyses on post-communist reforms and European integration. "The Power of Freedom" describes a gripping journey through the history of Central and Eastern Europe divided by an iron curtain, mapping the anticommunist resistance and the changes of 1989. It offers a detailed analysis of alternative models of post-communist transition, and successful integration of Central and Eastern European countries into the Euro–Atlantic structures.
