Peter Ackroyd
London: The Biography

2003 y.
Publisher: Anchor
Description: Novelist and biographer Ackroyd (The Plato Papers, T.S. Eliot, etc.) offers a huge, enthralling `biography` of the city of London. The reader segues through this litany of lists and anthology of anecdotes via the sketchiest of topical linkages, but no matter not a page is dull, until brief closing chapters in which Ackroyd succumbs to bathos, for which he`s instantaneously redeemed by the preceding chapters. He admits to using no original research, openly crediting his printed sources. Ackroyd examines London from its pre-history through today, artfully selecting, organizing and pacing stories, and rendering the past in witty and imaginative ways. `The opium quarter of Limehouse,` he tells readers, for example, `is now represented by a Chinese take-away.` Fast food, it seems, was always part of the London scene. When poet Thomas Southey asked a pastry cook why she kept her shop open in the worst weather, she told him that otherwise she would lose business, `so many were the persons… [detailed...]

Richard Bryant
London

2008 y.
Publisher: Rizzoli
Description: Richard Bryant`s `London` is a fitting love letter to a city with an unparalleled history and an inimitable and tangible soul. Following the path of the river, the book moves across London from the bucolic West to the postmodern East from the beautiful villas and gardens of Netting Hill through Fitzroy Square and Georgian London to the Roman ruins of the City and the post-industrial landscapes of Battersea and Greenwich. These spectacular photographs capture every aspect of London, from the distinctive beauty of the Royal parks to the formal splendor of Whitehall, and from the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament to charming Fenchurch streetscapes unchanged for centuries. Even with such a glorious past, London is a city that looks to the future, and these photographs reflect both history and progress, from the hidden remnants of forgotten buildings to spectacular details of contemporary architecture. Most of this deluxe volume showcases breathtaking panoramic photographs,… [detailed...]

London`s Grand Guignol and the Theatre of Horror

2008 y.
Publisher: University of Exeter Press
Description: London`s Grand Guignol a macabre theatre of naturalistic horror was established in the early 1920s at the Little Theatre in the West End. Taking its cue from Le Theatre du Grand Guignol in Paris, this high profile venture enjoyed as much critical controversy as popular success. On its side were some of the finest actors of the English stage, such as Sybil Thorndike and Lewis Casson, as well as a team of extremely able writers, including the legendary Noel Coward. London`s Grand Guignol and the Theatre of Horror considers the importance and influence of the Grand Guignol within its social, cultural, and historical contexts, while presenting a selection of ten remarkable Grand Guignol plays, several of which were banned by the Lord Chamberlain, the censor of the day, and have never been publicly performed including a previously unpublished work by Coward. The companion volume to Grand Guignol: The French Theatre of Horror, already in its third edition, this book is an essential… [detailed...]

Londongrad: From Russia with Cash, The Inside Story of the Oligarchs (Paperback)

— y.
Publisher: Fourth Estate
Description: The amazing true story of how London became home to the Russian super-rich - told for the first time ever. A dazzling tale of incredible wealth, ferocious disputes, beautiful women, private jets, mega-yachts, the world`s best footballers - and chauffeur-driven Range Rovers with tinted windows. A group of buccaneering Russian oligarchs made colossal fortunes after the collapse of communism - and many of them came to London to enjoy their new-found wealth. Londongrad tells for the first time the true story of their journeys from Moscow and St Petersburg to mansions in Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Surrey - and takes you into a shimmering world of audacious multi-billion pound deals, outrageous spending and rancorous feuds. But while London`s flashiest restaurants echoed to Russian laughter and Bond Street shop-owners totted up their profits, darker events also played themselves out. The killing of ex-KGB man Alexander Litvinenko in London to the death - in a helicopter crash he all but… [detailed...]

Description: Jas is in trouble. Because of who he is-an eighteen-year-old Asian living in London. Because of the gang he hangs out with. And because of the woman he fancies, Samira, who Jas shouldn`t have taken a shining to because she is, as his pals point out, not one of his own. He`s in trouble because his education, never mind his career, is going nowhere. And he`s fallen into the schemes, games and prejudices of his friends on the streets of the big western city in which he lives. But Jas`s main trouble is Jas himself, and he doesn`t even know the trouble he`s in, and try as hard as he does, he`s failing to make sense of what it is to be young, male and what you might say is Indostani in a city that professes to be a melting pot but is a city of racial and religious exclusion zones. Without his parents` aspirations to assimilate, without the gifts of his more academically accomplished contemporaries, Jas is a young man without a survival plan to get by in the big city. He`s out of touch, an… [detailed...]

Publisher: Proszynski i S-ka
Description: A more contemporary story would be impossible: the Internet, pagers, airline e-tickets, genome decoding, text messages. And it`s a classic love story. A story of love on the Internet. The ultimate love, the one of dreams. Wisniewski tells the story superbly and analytically taking his reader from near celebratory tenderness only to amaze a few lines later with daring eroticism. Loneliness on the Net is also a tribute to knowledge intertwined with a love story. It`s a story about molecules of emotions, about who discovered DNA, and what happened to Einstein`s brain. Loneliness on the Net hit all bestseller lists in Poland (over 300.000 copies sold). The novel has been translated into many languages and was brought to the Polish cinema theatres as a feature movie in 2006. [detailed...]
