Hardback. Condición: Good. A rollicking narrative history of Monte Carlo, capturing its nineteenth-century rise as the world's first modern casino-resort and its Jazz Age heyday as infamous playground of the rich. Monte Carlo has long been known as a dazzling playground for the rich and famous. Less well known are the shrewd and often ruthless strategies that went into creating such a potent symbol of luxury and cosmopolitan glamour. As historian Mark Braude reveals in his entertaining and informative>Making Monte Carlo, the world's first modern casino-resort started as an unlikely prospect--with the legalization of gambling in tiny Monaco in 1855--and eventually emerged as the most glamorous gambling destination of the Victorian era. The resort declined in the wake of WI, and was reinvented, again, to suit the styles and desires of the new Jazz Age tastemakers, such as F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Gerald and Sarah Murphy, and Coco Chanel. Along the way, we encounter a colorful cast of characters, including the fast-talking Francois Blanc (a professional gambler, stock market manipulator, and founder of Monte Carlo); Basil Zaharoff (notorious munitions dealer and possible secret owner of the casino in the 1920s); Elsa Maxwell (a brash society figure and Hollywood maven, hired as the casino's publicist); R n L on (a visionary Jewish businessman, who revitalized the resort after WI); Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, and other satellite members of Serge Diaghilev's Ballet Russes dance company; as well as Cole Porter, Ernest Hemingway and other American expats who 'colonized' the Riviera in the 1920s. A rollercoaster history of how a small, rural town grew into the prosperous resort epicenter of the late nineteenth century and rose again to greatness out of the ashes of WI, Making Monte Carlo is a classic rags-to-riches tale set in the most scenic of European settings.…

Sunny Alvarez is tired of having a man who won't commit and the urge to get away from it all is stronger than ever. In Monte Carlo, she expects rest and relaxation; instead, she finds herself caught in a web of intrigue involving a series of robberies of high-end jewelry stores. Can Sunny trust the new friends she meets in this glamorous hotel in the South of France? Plus, there's Sunny's old friend, movie star Allie Ray, who owns a vineyard in France and who comes to Sunny's aid, while at the same time sorting out the life and appearance of her old friend, Pru Hilson, with a makeover that not only changes her dowdy, overweight appearance, but changes Pru into an amateur detective. If Sunny doesn't untangle this plot, she might end up an unwitting accomplice to theft, blackmail, and even murder.
