Hardback. Condición: Good. John Paul Jones (1747-92) was an argumentative, highly original Scottish seaman. At sea from the age of 12 he commanded slave ships and merchant ships until, following a murder charge, he fled to America. In the War of Independence he was the only rebel to land on English soil, attempting to fire Whitehaven Harbour, off Flamborough Head. With thousands watching, he captured an English flagship. In his adventurous career he was knighted by Louis XVI, made an Admiral by Catherine the Great, awarded the Congress Gold Medal for Valour by George Washington. In America he is often regarded as the founder of the US Navy. Controversies about this, and about his difficult, pugnacious nature, are the main themes of this story of adventure, violence, disappointments and triumphs in the era of the French and American Revolutions, and the growth of Russia as a world power.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. There is no city more talked about, or written about, than London. Each district, each landmark has literary associations hardly separable from the stones themselves. Some of them are well known, even hackneyed. Here you can see suburbia through the eyes of P.G. Wodehouse, or blitzed ruins through those of Rose Macaulay, or Hampstead society through Ezra Pound's. Max Beerbohm can introduce you to the goat that used to live in Piccadilly, and Victor Hugo to Charles II's watchman, whose job was to crow like a cock. You can watch G.B. Shaw dance in Fitzroy Square, with a chorus line of policemen, and see G.K. Chesterton and Hilaire Belloc ride donkeys into the Ritz. Here you can see Dr Johnson perform a citizen's arrest, observe Marx extracting money from Engels, watch E.M. Forster help E. Nesbit set fire to models of surburban villas, and learn about Queen Victoria's liking for nudes.;This book is a delightful celebration of London in all its moods, of royal London, commercial London, criminal London, the crowds, the river, even the fog - all of them given immediacy and life by writers as diverse as Samuel Pepys and Martin Amis, Thackeray and V.S. Pritchett. 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. Condición: Very Good. Bringing together Sigmund Freud, Osip Mandelstam, Lloyd George, Bertrand Russell, Isaac Rosenberg, Siegfried Sassoon, Vera Brittain - voices famous and unknown - Peter Vansittart takes us through the course of the Great War, juxtaposing letters from the trenches with music-hall songs, and the words of poets and politicians. Linking the public and the personal, the history with the myth, his rich and unorthodox anthology forms a moving image of everything that went into the War, and culminated in its 'scalding waste of spirit'.
