Àííîòàöèÿ: This was a very well written biography of Dickens. It follows through his family history, the possible affects it had on his writings and as it goes through his life it also has the books there in timeline. I like that within the chapters it is subtitled and you can easily just look up about the book you may want more information on. A good read for Dickens fans.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Up The Line To Death: The War Poets 1914—1918 is a poetry anthology edited by Brian Gardner, and first published in 1964. It was a thematic collection of the poetry of World War I.A significant revisiting of the tradition of the war poet, writing in English, it was backed up by strong biographical research on the poets included. Those were mainly British and Irish combatants of World War I; but there are also Australian, Canadian and American poets. The poems are arranged roughly in chronological order, from the start of the war to the end. Some contemporary poems by major poets not involved in the fighting are also given. The title of the anthology comes from the Siegfried Sassoon poem Base Details.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Rudyard Kipling has remained an enigma despite his work having been read by millions worldwide. His autobiography revealed little and the "official" biography was heavily censored by his daughter. In this book, Angus Wilson has produced a searching study of Kipling's life and works, travelling through India, the country that formed the basis for so much of his work.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The penguin book of Irish verse

Àííîòàöèÿ: Angus Wilson, who has been deeply interested in Dickens and his works since childhood, here writes a sympathetic and revealing study of Dickens s world, relating the social problems and background of the age to the characters and themes of his works.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The fascinating story of football in Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Berlin Wall

Àííîòàöèÿ: Henry VIII changed the course of English life more completely than any monarch since the Conquest. In the portraits of Holbein, Henry Tudor stands proud as one of the most powerful figures in renaissance Europe. But is the portrait just a bluff? In his new book, Derek Wilson explores the myths behind the image of the Tudor Lion. He was the monarch that delivered the Reformation to England yet Luther called him 'A fool, a liar and a damnable rotten worm'. As a young man he gained a reputation as an intellectual and fair prince yet he ruled the nation like a tyrant. He treated his subjects as cruelly as he treated his wives. Based on a wealth of new material and a life time's knowledge of the subject Derek Wilson exposes a new portrait of a much misunderstood King.Praise for Derek Wilson's previous works: The Uncrowned Kings of England: 'Stimulating and authorative' - John Guy. 'Masterly. [Wilson] has a deep understanding of...characters, reaching out accross the centuries' - Sunday Times. Hans Holbein: Portrait of an Unknown Man: 'Fascinating' - Sarah Bradford, Daily Telegraph. 'Highly readable... The most accurate and vivid portrayal to date' - Alison Weir.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The MISFITS examins Charlotte Bach's controversial theory that sexual deviants may be more highly evolved than the sexually 'normal'. You will enjoy this strange book because it is very firmly about sex.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The distressing problem of infertility is one that is affecting an increasing number of women and men. The FERTILITY HANDBOOK is an essential reference book for those experiencing difficulty in conceiving a child.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This book presents an  outline of the gradual changes and developments in the preparation of foodstuffs in Britain from the days of the hunters and food gatherers until the period of the industrial revolution. This is a history book, but it is also a recipe book, so that those who have a pratical interest in historical cookery can try their hands at some of the dishes eaten by their more remote ancestors.
