A Curious Earth
ISBN: 9780393330977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Left with an empty house after the death of his wife, Aldous Jones is tempted to spend the whole day sitting in his chair in the kitchen. But with admirable determination he resumes old pastimes until, one day, wandering London, he is surprised to find a painting that holds him completely in its spell. Rembrandt's portrait of his housekeeper-turned-mistress, Hendrijcke Stoffels, awakens Jones's desire for a new life, a new woman, sex, and companionship. It leads him to Belgium to stay with his bohemian son, to evening language classes, and through a series of slightly misguided relationships...

August
ISBN: 9780393332711 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Little did Aldous Jones know when he careened over his bicycle handlebars back in 1955, landing next to farmer Evans s field, that it would turn into the idyllic start to a series of camping holidays in that same field. With Gerard Woodward s deadpan wit and poignant evocation, August encapsulates the portrait of the Joneses and their growing family. Strangely enough, the rural site seems to change in conjunction with their city life, creating a parallel universe instead of a getaway. The Jones family also is featured in I ll Go to Bed at Noon and A Curious Earth."

Vanishing

Towards the end of the Second World War a young British artist called Kenneth Brill is arrested for painting landscapes near the old village of Heathrow. The authorities suspect his paintings contain coded information about the new military airfield that is to be built there. Brill protests that he is merely recording a landscape that will soon disappear. Under interrogation a more complicated picture emerges as Brill tells the story of his life - of growing up among the market gardens of The Heath, of his life on the London art scene of the 1930s, and his brief spell as a master at a minor...

Gerard's Herball
ISBN: 9781906830724 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Gerards Of the Historie of Plants, better known as Gerards Herball and first published in 1597, is one of the most delightful of Elizabethan herbals. Its glorious prose, the folk-lore steeping its pages, and all its quaint conceits about the "Vertues" of herbs, are known by reputation the world over. This is partly because no book on flowers or trees can be written without quotations from his glowing pages, but mainly because the work has won an unchallenged place of honour as the most delightful, fragrant, and refreshing of all old-time herbals, as it is by far the most amusing.
