Julian Barnes
Flaubert`s Parrot (Picador Books)

1985 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Which of two stuffed parrots was the inspiration for one of Flaubert`s greatest stories? Why did the master keep changing the colour of Emma Bovary`s eyes? And why should it matter so much to Geoffrey Braithwaite, a retired doctor haunted by a private secret? In `Flaubert`s Parrot`, Julian Barnes spins out a multiple mystery of obsession and betrayal (both scholarly and romantic) and creates an exuberant enquiry into the ways in which art mirrors life and then turns around to shape it. `A gem: an unashamed literary novel that is also unashamed to be readable, and broadly entertaining. Bravo!` - John Irving. `Endless food for thought, beautifully written …A tour de force` - Germaine Greer. `Delightful and enriching …A book to read` - Joseph Heller. `A dazzling achievement …remarkably inventive as well as audacious` - Walter Abish. `A delight …Handsomely the best novel published in England in 1984` - John Fowles.

Mary Orr
Flaubert`s Tentation: Remapping Nineteenth-Century French Histories of Religion and Science

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the first comprehensive study in English of Flaubert`s least well-known masterpiece, the final version of his Temptation of Saint Anthony (1874) which, thanks to Foucault, has the reputation of being an arcane and erudite `fantastic library` or, thanks to genetic criticism, is a `narrative` of Flaubert`s personal aesthetic (`oeuvre de toute ma vie`). By presuming instead no prior knowledge of the text, its versions or its contexts, Mary Orr provides new readings of the seven tableaux which comprise Temptation, and new ways of interpreting the work as a whole, whether the reader is a newcomer to Flaubert or a specialist. Arguing that Flaubert was imagining his own epoch through the eyes of a visionary saint in the fourth century AD, Orr elucidates the dialogues between religion and science that are the dynamic of the work for the first time. She also insists on the meticulous accuracy and imaginative representations of the science of the work, proposing--in the `remapping`… [detailed...]

Flavors of The Mediterranean

2007 y.
Publisher: Flammarion
Description: In My Italian Sketchbook, 30-year-old artist Florine Asch follows the tradition of the 18th century Grand Tour, when writers, architects and members of European high-society embarked on long journeys around Italy, taking in key cultural sites, often sketching as they went. Asch`s sketches are full of character, light-hearted, spirited and bursting with charm.

Fleetwood Mac: 40 Years of Creative Chaos

2007 y.
Publisher: Praeger Publishers
Description: The band drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie started in 1967 has gone through more personnel changes and stylistic innovations than any other pop group in our cultural history. The story of the group began when John Mayall and Alexis Korner, the band`s mentors, launched a mid-`60s British blues revival. Ex-Mayall players Fleetwood and McVie then went on to form an incendiary band of psychedelic blues under the name Fleetwood Mac. But it was not until hearing a little-known 1973 record from Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks that Mick Fleetwood heard the future sound and true pop potential of his own group. Fleetwood Mac`s new sound, captured in the 1977 record Rumours, launched the group into the commercial stratosphere, and over the past three decades they have never looked back. All along the way their dysfunctional relationships have informed their professional success, as well as their personal downfalls. By writing and singing about their problems, Fleetwood Mac has… [detailed...]
