Is it that combination of graciousness and grit that we revere in First Ladies Laura Bush and Lady Bird Johnson?

An unnatural fondness for Dr Pepper and queso? In her inimitable style, Sarah Bird pays tribute to the Texas Woman in all her glory and all her contradictions.

Edith Wharton's Travel Writing: The Making of a Connoisseur
ISBN: 9780312158422 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The first book-length critical analysis of its kind, Edith Wharton's Travel Writing is an engaging study of Wharton's travel writing as the embodiment of her connoisseurship. Wright reveals how Wharton enacted a new dialectic of tourism by reconstituting what Blake Nevius calls the 'aesthetic spectra' in her travel texts. Wharton abandoned the examples set by American predecessors such as Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne, who led the 'artless travelers' of her parents' day to lakes, waterfalls, mountains, and ruins echoing sentimental legends and chose to emulate John Ruskin's...

Between Heaven and Texas
ISBN: 9780292706552 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Between heaven and Texas, there's a sky that goes on forever. On cloudless mornings after a norther has blown through, the sky is such a perfect cobalt blue that you forget the "between" and know that heaven is Texas, or Texas is heaven--it doesn't really matter which. But most days there are clouds between Texas and heaven--puffy white clouds that set us dreaming on lazy summer days or roiling storm clouds that unleash lightning, tornadoes, and hail. The sky between heaven and Texas is a stage for drama more often than not, just like the lives we live below it. Perhaps that's why we're...

Edith Wharton Abroad: Selected Travel Writings, 1888-1920
ISBN: 9780312161200 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In EDITH WHARTON ABROAD, Sarah Bird Wright has carefully chosen selections from Edith Wharton's travel writing that convey the writer's control of her craft. Wharton disliked the generality of guidebooks and focused instead on the "parentheses of travel" - the undiscovered hidden corners of Europe, Morocco, and the Mediterranean. This collection spans a period of three decades and takes the reader with Wharton from France to Italy and to Greece. Included is an excerpt from her unpublished memoir, THE CRUISE OF THE VANDIS, as well as front line depictions of Lorraine and the Vosges during...
