Riley Spender is a Madame to the global elite - she counts princes, presidents and pontiffs as her friends, her parties are international, infamous and invitation only. She's rich, she's successful and she has a black book the size of a medieval ledger. The press call her Spenderella - the poor girl who caught the heart of many, many princes, and has the jewellery, the lavish lifestyle and the tabloid profile to prove it. And now she wants out. She calls on Mark Barrett, an old friend and her first love, to aid her escape - together they'll make the glamorous Spenderella disappear and, in the reverse of the Cinderella fairy-tale, a thirty-something, single-mother will emerge to live quietly and anonymously in New England. But what will this meeting of old flames mean for Mark's self-image as a modern day Sir Galahad, and will past loves and old scars bear scrutiny?

The literary, political, and artistic interests of poet and cultural icon Stephen Spender are illuminated in this narrative based on his private papers, tracing his rise to success as a poet in the 1930s through his later years as cultural statesman of the twentieth century, and examining his relationships with such luminaries as Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, T. S. Eliot, and Virgina Woolf.
Stephen Spender, the son of a journalist, was born in London in 1909. He was educated at University College, Oxford, where he met, among others, W. H. Auden, Christopher Isherwood and Louis MacNeice, with whom he was to develop a poetics of engagement, writing powerfully of the confusion and alarm of 1930s Europe. He visited Spain during the Civil War, in 1937, where he assisted the Republican cause with propaganda activity. His post-war memoir World within World was recognised as one of the most illuminating literary autobiographies to have come out of the 1930s and 1940s, distilling a distinctively personal, humanistic socialism. His poetry has been praised for its exploratory candour, its personal approach to the stresses of modernity, and its exact portraiture of social and political upheaval. Grey Gowrie's new selection offers a timely and incisive revaluation of Spender's substantial poetic corpus.
Stephen Spender, along with his friends W. H. Auden, Louis MacNeice and C. Day Lewis, rose to prominence in the 1930s, writing powerfully of the fear and paranoia of a continent heading towards war. By the time of his death in 1995 he had established a distinguished reputation as a poet, critic, editor and translator. This New Collected Poems, edited by Michael Brett, gathers seven decades of verse from Poems (1933) to Dolphins (1994) and the late uncollected work. Reordering the thematic principle of the 1985 Collected Poems, this edition returns to a book-by-book chronology and allows the reader to experience, for the first time, the full development and range of his career.

"In this book I am mainly concerned with a few themes: love; poetry; politics; the life of literature....I believe obstinately that, if I am able to write with truth about what has happened to me, this can help others....In this belief I have risked being indiscreet, and I have written occasionally of experiences which seem strange to me myself, and which I have not seen discussed else-where." So begins Stephen Spender's autobiography, widely acclaimed as the twentieth century's greatest memoir.Spender was one of his generation's most celebrated poets, a writer living at the intersection of literature and politics in Europe between the two world wars. His portraits of his friends—Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, W. B. Yeats, and Christopher Isherwood—render a romantic world of literary genius. Spender uses a poet's language to create an honest and tender exploration of amity and the many possibilities of love. First published in 1951, World Within World simultaneously shocked and bedazzled the literary establishment for its frank discussion of Eros in the modern world.Out of print for several years, this Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by the critic John Bayley and an Afterword Spender wrote in 1994 describing his reaction to the charges that David Leavitt plagiarized this autobiography in a novel. "World Within World is without any question the best autobiography in English written in the twentieth century."—John Bayley, from his new Introduction"Superb...[Spender's] best writing charges us with his own best qualities: the moral earnestness, the lucid piety, the lyrical intelligence."—The New York Times Book Review

"Sauerstoff - Spender des Lebens", dieser pragnante Ausspruch von Dtto Warburg unterstreicht die Bedeutung des Sauerstoffs fUr das gesamte Leben dieser Erde. Ganz gleichgtiltig, ob es sich urn den Stoff- wechsel der einfachsten Lebewesen handelt, urn die Atmung der Pflan- zen, der Tiere oder die der Menschen: Aile sind sie in ihrer Existenz an den Lebensspender Sauerstoff gebunden. Seit der Entdeckung des Sauersioffs im Jahre 1772 wurde immer star- ker auch seine heilende Wirkung erkannt. Bei Patienten mit schweren Erkrankungen der Atmungsorgane konnten im Jahre 1900 die ersten greifbaren Erfolge erzielt werden. Daraus ergab sich eine Hille von Anwendungsmoglichkeiten, die nicht allein das Ziel hatten, eine Krank- heit zu mindern, sondern auch darauf ausgerichtet waren, das Leben zu verlangern. In der heutigen modernen Medizin ist der Sauerstoff als "Lebensspen- der" nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die haufigste Anwendungsform ist dabei die kiinstliche Beatmung im Rahmen einer Narkose, z. B. bei Operatio- nen. Von Bedeutung ist der Sauerstoff auch bei allen Krankheitszustan- den, die eine kurzzeitige Uberbriickung eines Sauerstoffmangels, wie z. B. bei einer schweren Lungenentziindung, notwendig machen. Noch wichtiger aber ist die Anwendung von Sauerstoff bei allen Lungen- und Herzerkrankungen, die eine Sauerstoff-Minderversorgung im gesamten Korper verursachen. Einzige Hilfe ist hier eine standige gleichmaBige Zufuhr von Sauerstoff. In diesen Fallen kann der Sauerstoff ein wahrer Lebensretter und auch Lebensverlangerer sein.
