Condición: Wie neu. Englische Erstausgabe. First Imprint. 201 Seiten. 20,5 cm. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. Sehr guter Zustand. Very Good. - In Margriet de Moor's exquisite (and exquisitely translated) The Virtuoso, a love affair with a castrato becomes the last thing one would expect: thoroughly, almost overwhelmingly physical. A bestseller in Europe, this Dutch writer's novel overflows with the sights and smells, tastes and textures of an 18th-century Naples caught in intellectual and sensual ferment. Here, thieves take shelter in churches, carriages race through the narrow streets, and aristocrats gamble, discuss Descartes, cross-dress, and swoon over their favorite male sopranos. Into this heady milieu comes Carlotta, Duchess of Rocca d'Evandro, married at 15 and a firm believer that "your body is what you are and all knowledge begins with desire." What, then, to do with a body like Gasparo's? A native of the same village as Carlotta, at age 11 Gasparo underwent the infamous operation that would keep his soprano suitably pure. Years later, Carlotta hears him sing in the San Carlo theater and immediately falls into a fever of desire. One expects such a passion to be primarily metaphorical, and there is indeed something quixotic about her love for Gasparo, with his voice that "attests to a world beyond this world but which comes none the less from a body like every other: warm, full of obscure desires." Well, not quite like every other. A product of both prodigious natural gifts and prodigiously unnatural intervention, Gasparo is closer to a work of art than a man--but that doesn't prevent Carlotta from lusting after his bod. With some coaxing on her part, they manage to have an affair, the mechanics of which Carlotta by no means ignores in her breathless narration. De Moor writes compellingly about beauty and art, but the book's real strength lies in her almost offhand depiction of Neapolitan aristocracy--its decadence, its playfulness, and even its casual cruelty. ("Only one boy in four fails to survive" Gasparo's operation, Carlotta breezily notes.) Reading The Virtuoso is like immersing yourself in another world entirely, one in which the central love affair makes beautiful sense. History is full of mutilation in the name of art; de Moor's triumph is to make the mutilation itself a subject of desire. --Mary Park. - - Margriet de Moor (* 21. November 1941 in Noordwijk als Margaretha Maria Antonetta Neefjes) ist eine niederländische Schriftstellerin. Leben: Margriet de Moor ist eines von zehn Kindern eines Lehrerehepaares. Ihre Schwiegermutter war die Schriftstellerin Anna Margaritha Annie de Moor-Ringnalda. Sie studierte zunächst am Königlichen Konservatorium in Den Haag Klavier und Gesang. In ihrem Zweitstudium belegte sie Kunstgeschichte sowie Archäologie in Amsterdam, das sie mit Klavierunterricht finanzierte. Mit ihrem Ehemann eröffnete sie 1984 in 's-Graveland bei Hilversum einen Salon für Künstler. Für den Salon machte sie eine Reihe von Film- und Video-Portraits der ausstellenden Künstler. Nachdem die Subventionen für die Filmprojekte eingestellt worden waren, begann sie mit dem Schreiben. Ihr Debütwerk war der 1988 erschienene Erzählungsband Rückenansicht, der gute Kritiken erhielt und als am besten verkauftes literarisches Debüt mit dem Goldenen Eselsohr ausgezeichnet wurde. Für ihren ersten Roman Erst grau dann weiß dann blau (1991) erhielt sie den AKO Literatuurprijs. Dieser Roman wurde 2016 Ein Buch für die Stadt Köln und Umgebung. Margriet de Moor war mit dem Bildhauer Heppe de Moor (1938 1992) verheiratet, aus der Ehe gingen zwei Töchter hervor. De Moor spricht fließend Deutsch. Ihre Tochter Marente de Moor (* 1972) ist Slawistin, Zeitungskolumnistin und debütierte 2010 mit einem Roman. Die Schriftstellerin lebt und arbeitet in Amsterdam. . . .

Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Condición: Wie neu. 3. Auflage. 382 pages. Very Good Condition. 19,6 cm. Very Good. Sehr guter Zustand. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. When Thomas Wavery arrives in Gibralter on his way to take up his posting as HM Consul General to Abyla his passport is stolen by a barbary ape. Ignominy and shame have dogged his steps since he lost both the coveted Lisbon Embassy and his wife as a result of his infatuation with a younger woman. - Nicholas William Richmond Shakespeare (born March 3, 1957 in Worcester) is a British journalist and writer. Born to a diplomat, Shakespeare grew up in the Far East and in South America. He was educated at the Dragon School preparatory school then Winchester College and Cambridge and worked as a journalist for BBC television and then on The Times as assistant arts and literary editor. From 1988 to 1991 he was literary editor of The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph. His time in South America is represented in two novels, The Vision of Elena Silves (1989, Somerset Maugham Award, Betty Trask Award) and The Dancer Upstairs (1995, American Library Association Award). Other less well known works from this period are The Men Who Would Be King (1984), Londoners (1986) and The High Flyer (1993). In 1999, Shakespeare published his biography of Bruce Chatwin to widespread critical acclaim. This was followed by the novel Snowleg (2004, long-listed for the Booker Prize, Dublin IMPAC Award) a 'place' book, In Tasmania (2004) and Secrets of the Sea (2007). Shakespeare has also produced several extended biographies for television on Evelyn Waugh, Mario Vargas Llosa, Bruce Chatwin and on the actor Dirk Bogarde (Arena 2001, BAFTA "Best Arts Documentary Award", RTS "Best Documentary Award"). The Dancer Upstairs was made into a film in 2002 for which Shakespeare wrote the screenplay and which John Malkovich directed. Shakespeare was nominated as one of Granta's Best of British Young Novelists in 1993 and has written articles for Granta, the London Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement among others. Shakespeare's novels place ordinary people against a background of significant events, as with The Dancer Upstairs, which deals with Abimael Guzmán, leader of Peru's Sendero Luminoso; and Snowleg, set partly during the Cold War in the German Democratic Republic. In 1999, he was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. In 2009, he donated the short story The Death of Marat to Oxfam's 'Ox-Tales' project, four collections of UK stories written by 38 authors. Shakespeare's story was published in the 'Earth' collection. - wikipedia-Nicholas_Shakespeare. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 300.

When Iris is asked to model for pre-Raphaelite artist Louis Frost, she agrees on the condition that he will also teach her to paint. Suddenly her world begins to expand, to become a place of art and love. But Silas has only thought of one thing since their meeting, and his obsession is darkening . . .

Alive with the magic of Amsterdam, the enchanting new historical novel from the author of the sensational New York Times bestseller The Miniaturist , which has sold more than two million copies. In 1705 Amsterdam, Thea Brandt is coming of age, trying to grapple with her family's secrets and her own identity as a young Dutch-African woman. She's drawn to the theater and an artistic life, but with her family in serious financial decline, pressure is on Thea to marry up in society. As her father and Aunt Nella work desperately to save the family home and catastrophe threatens to engulf them, Thea seeks refuge in the arms of her secret lover, Walter, the chief set-painter at her favorite theater. But the thrill of their romance is shadowed by another secret she keeps close: Her birthday marks the day her mother, Marin, died in labor. Thea's family refuses to share the details of the story, just as they seem terrified to speak of the shadowy artist from their past whose tiny figurines seem to capture the things most carefully hidden away. Aunt Nella believes the solution to Thea's problems is to find her a husband, and an unexpected invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball seems like a golden opportunity. But when a miniature figure of Walter turns up on Thea's doorstep, it becomes clear that someone out there has another fate in mind for the family- and that perhaps the new beginning Thea seeks won't depend on a man. A feat of sweeping, magical storytelling, The House of Fortune is an unputdownable novel about love and obsession, family and loyalty, and the fantastic power of secrets.

The binding is softcover, full colour and laminated. The book is in excellent condition. ## ## A revised edition of a classic book on Love by the bestselling author of How Prousf Can Change Your Life and The Consolations of Philosophy. ## ## Essays in Love will appeal to anyone who has ever been in a relationship or is confused about Love. The book charts the progress of a relationship between a man and woman from the first kiss to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak. The work's genius lies in how it minutely analyses emotions we've all felt before but have perhaps never understood so well. It includes a chapter on the anxieties of when and how to say l love you and another on the challenges of disagreeing with someone else's taste in shoes. While gripping the reader with the talent of a great novelist, de Botton brings a philosopher's sensibility to his analyses of the emotions of Love, resulting in a genre-breaking book that is at once touching and thought-provoking. ## ## The book's success has much to do with its beautifully modelled sentences, its wry humour and its unwavering deadpan respect for its reader's intelligence full of keen observation and flashes of genuine lyricism, understanding and depth. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.
