In this richly comic classic, first published in the 1920s, the pitfalls and vicissitudes of home building are presented in sharp and unforgettable detail, in the form of letters to and from the architect, a hapless young man named James Spin-love, who, in his valiant attempts to create the Honeywood mansion for Sir Leslie Brash, encounters a motley collection of contractors, surveyors, plumbers and town planners, to say nothing of intensely litigious lawyers, and Sir Leslie Brash himself, along with his good lady. This book follows the rich tradition of wry English humour. It also contains a great deal of valuable and still pertinent information about building a house.

The Honeywood File

What we know of Raymond Chandler is shrouded in secrets and half-truths as deceptive as anything in his magisterial novel The Long Goodbye. Now, drawing on new interviews, previously unpublished letters and archives on both sides of the Atlantic, literary gumshoe Tom Williams casts light on this most mysterious of writers. The Chandler revealed is a man troubled by loneliness and desertion from an early age - experiences that fuelled his writing as much as they scarred his life. Born in Chicago in 1888, his childhood was overshadowed by the cruel collapse of his parents' marriage and his father's alcohol-fuelled violence. After his mother fled America, Chandler was schooled in London, but felt constrained by the stuffy English class system, eventually returning to the land of his birth, where - in corruption-ridden Los Angeles - he met his one great love: Cissy Pascal, a married woman 18 years his senior. It was only during middle age, after his own alcoholism wrecked a lucrative caree

Raymond Chandler: A Life

Birds Without Wings tells of the inhabitants of a small coastal town in South West Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman empire: Iskander the Potter and fount of proverbial wisdom; Philothei, a Christian girl of legendary beauty who is courted almost from infancy by Ibrahim the Goatherd, their great love culminating in tragedy and madness; Karatavuk and Mehmet-ik, childhood friends who play in the hills above the town, Mehmet-ik teaching the illiterate Karatavuk how to write Turkish in Greek letters; the two holy men of different faiths, Father Kristoforos and Abdulhamid Hodja, who greet each other with the words 'infidel efendi'; the landlord Rustem Bey, his wife's adultery and stoning, and his journey to Istanbul in search of a Circassian mistress. It tells also of Mustafa Kemal, the man of destiny, who by virtue of military genius and sheer bloody-mindedness defeats the Franks and reshapes the whole region in his image. When jihad is declared against the Allies the young men of

Orientationsby Ronald Storrs. Nicholson and Watson, 1949. Hardback, minus dust jacket, 532 pp. Light blue cloth boards, gold lettering on spine. Map of the Middle East on the endpapers, and many black and white photographic plates between pp. 288 and 289.  Covers and endpapers slightly foxed, pages yellowing round the edges, like so many British books from the 1940s, but still a very readable copy.  Ronald Storrs was a capable and forceful colonial administrator, a friend of Lawrence of Arabia, and an exceptionally civilized and literate individual.  Lawrence said of himThe first of all of us was Ronald Storrs, Oriental Secretary of the Residency, the most brilliant Englishman in the Near East, and subtly efficient, despite his diversion of energy in love of music and letters, of sculpture, painting, of whatever was beautiful in the world's fruit . . . Storrs was always first, and the great man among us. This book very much bears out the accuracy of that estimation. Chapter epig

Collected Works of Fitz Hugh Ludlow, Volume 2 : Logosophia : 9780996639446 : 0996639446 : 26 Nov 2017 : Literary Nonfiction. THE HEART OF THE CONTINENT is an up close, gritty and personal view, via the Overland Stagecoach, of the American West on the cusp of its full settlement and exploitation. Ludlow brought back the first shocking tales of "free love" in the new Mormon Zion of Utah, and unnerving views of lynchings, Indian massacres across the lawless West."Fitz Hugh Ludlow was a remarkable and woefully under-appreciated 19th century American?a New York man of letters, a Western traveler, a progressive, a bohemian, an advocate for opium addicts and an addict himself. His breakthrough hashish memoirs are an easy Yankee match to De Quincey, but he also produced glorious nature and travel writing, as well as curious science essays and some stories marked with the weird and wonderful. Logosophia has done a great service to American literature by ushering Ludlow back in print and, hopefu

Martin Heidegger's Changing Destinies : Yale University Press : 9780300228328 : 0300228325 : 02 May 2023 : A portrait of Martin Heidegger as a man and a philosopher   In this biography of Martin Heidegger (1889?1976), now available in English, historian Guillaume Payen synthesizes the connections between the German philosopher's life and work. Critically, but without polemics, he creates a portrait of Heidegger in his time, using all available sources?lectures, letters, and the notorious ?black notebooks.?   Payen chronicles Heidegger's ?changing destinies?: after the First World War, an uncompromising Catholicism gave way to a vigorous striving for a philosophical revolution?fertile ground for National Socialism. The book reflects a life of light and shadow. Heidegger was a great philosopher and teacher who cultivated friendships and love affairs with Jews but also was an anti-Semitic nationalist who lamented the ?Judaization of German intellectual life.?

Love for Two Lifetimes : Mayfair Publishing : 9781946773197 : 1946773190 : 25 Sep 2018 : Two generations, two great loves, one devastating lie . . .   Following a trail of clues in love letters she finds after her mother's death, eighteen-year-old Izzy steps unexpectedly into a world of English aristocracy. It's a world that once forced her mother to choose between a career as a musician and the duties she'd take on by marrying a man with a title, estate, and illustrious family name. It's also a world full of secrets, masquerades, and surprises. Among these is Malcolm, the son of the man her mother loved, and in spite of his position and charm, Malcolm seems to be just as broken as Izzy feels.  Together, Izzy and Malcolm set out to investigate their parents' relationship and the devastation it left behind. The journey leads them from the English countryside to the Taj Mahal and a hospital bed in India, and they must learn to lean on each other along the way. Having seen the results of

Tales for Transformation : City Lights Books : 9780872863637 : 0872863638 : 18 Feb 1988 : In 1768, at the age of nineteen, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe began to study hermetic literature. This exploration had a huge impact on the early aesthetic education of Europe's great man of letters, the last renaissance titan. In the years that followed, Goethe immersed himself in the hermetic tradition, and even set up an alchemic laboratory and attempted to make an elixir of immortality. Although he eventually gave up his alchemical experiments, he was to believe in the validity of the Great Work for the rest of his life.  Alchemic symbolism is prominent in many of Goethe's works, and it is particularly abundant in the tales of self-mastery and transformation presented in this collection. Included here are new translations of ?Fairy Tale? (?Märchen?), Goethe's alchemical allegory; ?The Counselor? and ?The New Melusina,? stories of temptation and the tests of love; ?The Good Woman,? a curious disc
