War on any scale was outlawed, along with boom-and-bust economic cycles, and prudery -- but no change was more startling than the face of New York, where the Empire State Building has become the Tower of Zeus In this altered world, William Forrester is an acolyte of Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, and therefore a teacher in this case of a totally altered history . . . but the fate that awaits him is a thing even more fantastic than the circumstances we've described

Author Bob Hunt's first book, Randall Fighting Knives in Wartime, provided him the opportunity for further study on this subject. It was apparent before publication of the first book, that the subject matter could not be exhausted. In his second book, Hunt continues the process of identifying, describing and dating fighting knives produced in the dramatic early days of the Randall experience. This new volume provides a vast amount of material, carefully organized and presented to enable the reader to further his own research in the areas most interesting to him.

This is the third book in a collector's series on Randall Made Knives, by Robert Hunt. These publications reflect the author's interest in the historical role that knives have played and he has documented their use during the wars of the 20th Century. This volume introduces the rare, unique and experimental knives of W.D. Randall, many either made or designed by him. The initial section explores knives from the Randall Museum, where over 50 images reflect the commitment to design innovation, which was and is still today, a hallmark of Randall Made Knives. The second section contains knives from a private collection, which was uncovered by the author. Interestingly enough, the knives in this grouping have roots in some of the "museum" examples and various designs can be found in Randall early "experiments" displayed in the museum cases

Randall: or The Painted Grape

Randall: or The Painted Grape

Jonathan Gibbs

Tivoli Books
2025
nidottu
Originally published in Britain, Randall is quite simply one of the shrewdest and most outrageous art-world novels in the English language. The eponymous artist at the book's center is a provocateur, a manipulator and a vandal-but also quite possibly a genius. Seen through the eyes of Vincent, his finance bro friend, admirer and rival in love, Randall is an artist for whom art is less an aesthetic challenge than a marketing problem, an act of aggression and a spoof (if also a consuming passion). Readers will be fascinated and appalled, but also faced with profound questions about art, commerce, and our debts to one another. As Vincent eventually discovers after his friend's death, there is a lot more to Randall than showmanship, and a lot more to his art than the funhouse mirror he holds up to the vanities around him. British reviewers raved. Now Americans can see what all the fuss was about."Writing about the visual arts is usually as risky as sharing needles . . . But Gibbs has produced the sort of novel you pray for as a reviewer."Tibor Fischer, The Guardian"An extremely funny satire of the dirty business of art curation, archiving, buying and selling . . . Slowly reveals itself as a moving account of friendship, love and loss . . . relayed in Gibbs' charming voice, rich in depth and confidence and as knowingly precise as the deftest of brush strokes."Lee Rourke, The New Humanist"Gibbs's novel is more than mischief: as with all the best lampoons, it dissects things that really matter and have gone awry - in this case the relegation of artistic innovation to banal shock value . . . The characterisation is disarmingly sympathetic and the prose fluid and inventive, right up to the final, playful revelation."Toby Lichtig, The Telegraph"Gibbs has worked a double shift, disguising a well-turned tale of family secrecy as an acerbic essay on recent cultural history without short-changing the demands of either." Anthony Cummins, The Observer"Long awaited and worth the wait." Geoff Dyer

When Randall Jarrell died in 1965, he left behind a critically acclaimed body of poetry, fiction and literary criticism that has earned him a permanent place in American literature. In these seven essays, his widow writes lovingly and knowingly about the wellsprings and character of his poetry, particularly his work on his last and best book, The Lost World; the creation of his celebrated children's books, The Bat-Poet and The Animal Family; his lifelong friendship with short-story writer Peter Taylor; his dedicated commitment during the last eight years of his life to completing his translation of Goethe's Faust, Part One; and their remarkable and joyous marriage.

As the American Colonies whisper of liberty and freedom, a young slave boy listens and dreams.When war with Britain finally comes, John seizes his chance to escape and joins the Red Coats. The British Army, in return for his service, promise him freedom. After the English concede defeat in 1783, John once again faces enslavement in the newly independent United States of America. He escapes to England, only to have his new-found freedom give way to a life of poverty and petty crime in the grey slums of industrial Manchester. Convicted of theft, John survives for months in a rotting prison hulk on the Thames, before being sent in a fleet of 11 ships to a new penal colony on the other side of the world - a vast, unknown land later to be called Australia. He is one of 11 Africans, including his friends Caesar and John Martin to step ashore in Sydney Cove.Supported by his friend, Lieutenant Johnston, John is given a rifle and sent to hunt to keep the fledging, starving colony alive. Though he is eventually granted land, finds love with the vibrant Mary Butler and, once again, is granted his freedom - he must face fire, famine, and the loss of his firstborn child to survive. But can a man so brutalized by war, grief, trauma and racism ever really be free? Jo Braithwaite, a direct descendant of John Randall, explores this question in what is an evocative and moving reimagining of an extraordinary life. Black Randall tells the previously untold story of one the few Black convicts brought to the penal colony of New South Wales on the First Fleet, putting a lie to the notion that Australia was 'settled' by only white people.

In 1965 Dudley F. Randall founded the Broadside Press, a company devoted to publishing, distributing and promoting the works of black poets and writers. In so doing, he became a major player in the civil rights movement. Hundreds of black writers were given an outlet for their work and for their calls for equality and black identity. Though Broadside was established on a minimal budget, Randall's unique skills made the press successful. He was trained as a librarian and had spent decades studying and writing poetry; most importantly, Randall was totally committed to the advancement of black literature. The famous and relatively unknown sought out Broadside, including such writers as Gwendolyn Brooks, Margaret Walker, Mae Jackson, Lance Jeffers, Etheridge Knight, Sonia Sanchez, Nikki Giovanni, Audre Lorde and Sterling D. Plumpp. His story is one of battling to promote black identity and equality through literature, and thus lifting the cultural lives of all Americans.
