    Using his life experiences for much of the action in the novel, Zupan introduces us to Jakob Bergant Berk, a man lost in two places and times. Slip-sliding between occupied Slovenia in the 1940s and a Spanish resort in the 1970s, we move from harrowing wartime guerrilla fighting to Berk’s curious encounter with Joseph Bitter, a former German soldier, during vacation in Spain. In the war, Berk is an apolitical non-conformist swept along by events over which he has little control, and some thirty years later, still traumatised by his wartime experiences, he tries to make sense of his memories in discussions with his old enemy Bitter.Once rumoured that it was used by the CIA as a manual for guerrilla warfare, Minuet for Guitar is a powerful examination of war on par with Céline’s Journey to the End of the Night, a modern Slovenian classic filled with philosophical ruminations and told in Zupan’s casual, ironic and even seductive voice.War is also a dance. The war dance had begun, they say. A minuet. Accompanied by a twenty-five-shot guitar.

     In Brian Wilks’ book the sisters, their brother Branwell and their father Patrick are seen with remarkable clarity. The author paints a vivid picture from when Patrick meets his short-lived wife, Maria. Their courtship and love for each other is detailed along with their move to the village of Haworth., where Charlotte, Branwell, Emily and Anne were born. Unbeknown to them, the village of Haworth was a densely populated and highly unsanitary. The combination of this, along with living amongst the dead, was to bring the family more troubles. The author gives a vivid picture of the times, and of the Brontës’ surroundings — the reeking, unhealthy village, the bleak parsonage, and the wild and lonely moors. Shortly after Anne’s birth, Maria fell ill and died — leaving six young children in the care of their grieving father. With the help of Maria’s sister, Elizabeth Branwell, the family got through this difficult period. Elizabeth was to stay on with the Brontës for the rest of her life and support the children’s various endeavours. Patrick took it upon himself to ensure his children would be able to survive on their own in the event of his death. Following the death of the older girls, Maria and Elizabeth, he withdrew, leaving the four remaining siblings to form their own imaginations — weaving the foundations for the stories that that were to come. Governessing was a decent form of living then and the girls took it up. Branwell was moved towards becoming an artist. However, none of the siblings could stay away from home, Haworth, for too long and they missed the close companionship of their siblings. Inevitably, they returned time and time again, unable to follow their career paths. With illness surrounding Haworth, the girls, Charlotte, Emily and Anne, took to seeking comfort in their writing. Their greatest novels were written during some of the most harrowing times of their lives. When Charlotte, the last remaining Brontë child, died, Patrick was left with the greatest of grief, and alone. Yet the compassion he was well known to possess continued well up to his death at the age of eighty-five. Brian Wilks is a Lecturer in Education at the University of Leeds in Yorkshire. He is also the author of a biography of Jane Austen. “All scholars will cherish this book which is recommended for college and public libraries.” — Library Journal

    It appears as a decoration on collars and sleeves in many Tudor portraits, notably in examples by Hans Holbein, so that the double-running stitch on which it is based is often called the Holbein stitch.It is usually worked with black thread on a white background, with an occasional accent of gold or silver, and this is still effective, but embroiderers today are adapting the geometrical patterns to all kinds of color combinations for table linens, pillows, pictures, book covers and trimming on clothing. The Holbein stitch has the advantage of being the same on both sides of the work so that there is no "right" or "wrong" side.This book explains the methods and materials used in blackwork, gives 45 pattern stitches, and suggests 24 projects with complete instuctions for each one.

    In the hands of the great Haitian author known simply as Frankétienne, zombification takes on a symbolic dimension that stands as a potent commentary on a country haunted by a history of slavery. Now this dynamic new translation brings this touchstone in Haitian literature to English-language readers for the first time.Written in a provocative experimental style, with a myriad of voices and combining myth, poetry, allegory, magical realism, and social realism, Dézafi tells the tale of a plantation that is run and worked by zombies for the financial benefit of the living owner. The owner's daughter falls in love with a zombie and facilitates his transformation back into fully human form, leading to a rebellion that challenges the oppressive imbalance that had robbed the workers of their spirit. With the walking dead and bloody cockfights (the "dézafi" of the title) as cultural metaphors for Haitian existence, Frankétienne's novel is ultimately a powerful allegory of political and social liberation.

    The ensuing years of toil and disappointment nearly convinced the young composer to abandon the theater for the security of a salesman's job in the clothing industry, but the overnight success of The Garrick Gaieties in 1925 determined his career. Ultimately, Rodgers wrote the scores for over forty Broadway musicals and collaborated with two of the world's greatest lyricists, the brilliantly talented but tormented Hart, and the sturdier but equally inspired Oscar Hammerstein II. These partnerships contributed a tremendous legacy to the musical theater, including Babes in Arms, On Your Toes, Pal Joey, Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music . Musical Stages is more than the inside story behind Rodgers's prodigious successes; it is an honest, astute meditation on the influences and people who encouraged him. Filled with revealing glimpses of celebrities and packed with Broadway and Hollywood anecdotes, it also contains fascinating passages on the art of lyric writing and composing, and insights into the troubles and triumphs of collaboration. Through his songs Richard Rodgers has given pleasure to millions of people; Musical Stages is one more gift in that tradition.
