Paperback. Condición: Fair. How can food-loving visitors to New Orleans find real deal cuisine in a city that offers them the choice of several thousand restaurants? Before becoming a full-time local in 2014, food critic and novelist Steven Wells Hicks spent forty years as an increasingly frequent visitor in search of the stories, people and dishes that make New Orleans one of America's legendary culinary playgrounds. Here he tells you about twenty-five of the more memorable places he's uncovered, from white tablecloth temples of cuisine to a lunchroom where boiled crawfish are served on yesterday's newspaper from a paper bag. You'll discover an old Mafia roadhouse in the boondocks, a fried chicken joint in an iffy part of town and even a greasy spoon where the main course is attitude. And that's just for starters. Plus, because Man cannot live by French bread alone, Hicks point you toward a dozen of the city's both famous and infamous watering holes. Unlike most conventional guidebooks featuring single-paragraph hype pieces singing the praises of every restaurant in the city, Hicks takes a novelist's approach to reviewing restaurants, opting instead for write leisurely pieces that not only tell you what's on a restaurant's plate, but also in a city's culinary heartbeat. Says Hicks in the book's preface, Ultimately this book is a valentine, sometimes left-handed but hopefully right-minded, to a city and the people of an industry that have simultaneously provided me with a lifetime of sensuous fulfillment while wreaking untold havoc with my waistline and the balance on my American Express card. Pulling no punches and pouring on the literary hot sauce when called for, Hicks has written a book that has become required reading for serious food fanciers planning their first or fifty-first pilgrimage to the undisputed Food Mecca on the Mighty Mississippi.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Winner of the 2011 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for political writing. One of the country's most distinguished writers and publishers returns to her roots to explore the consequences of democracy in the former Hapsburg lands. In 1989 the Berlin Wall was dismantled. Communism gave way to democracy. Since that time the former borderlands of the long defunct Hapsburg Empire and the more recently dispersed Soviet Empire have been trying to invent their own versions of democracy and market-driven economics. But these experiments have led to a widening gap between rich and poor. The worldwide economic crisis has severely tested Central Europe's determination to live peaceably, and there are many disquieting signs of old hatreds and racial tensions returning. Author Anna Porter travels through the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia to speak with leading intellectuals, politicians, former dissidents and the champions of aggrieved memories. She interviews great figures of the revolution (V�clav Havel, Adam Michnik, George Konr�d) and its new custodians, among them Radek Sikorski and Ferenc Gyurcs�ny, and also examines the younger generation with little or no experience of Communism and no interest in its aftermath. She visits Poland's Institute of National Remembrance, Prague's Jewish Museum and Hungary's House of Terror, each an attempt to reckon with dark episodes of history. The Ghosts of Europe is an exploration of power, nationalism, racism and denial in nations with a tumultuous history and an uncertain future.…
