Over 70 years since his death, George Orwell - author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four, essayist and activist journalist of the left - remains one of the most significant and popular writers of the last century. Here, in a collection of recent original, entertaining and often controversial essays, Richard Lance Keeble throws new insights on Orwell - the man, his writings, his life and his first wife, Eileen O'Shaughnessy. Topics include: the politics of dress and undress, representations of fatherhood, advertisements and the political economy of the media, Orwell and Evelyn Waugh, his surprising, life-long love of D. H. Lawrence's writings, the importance and delight of the domestic diaries, Orwell and the theatre, how Eileen saved his life during 1938 flu epidemic, Eton and the 'invisible masonic network of support'.Richard Lance Keeble is one of our leading authorities on George Orwell. Everything he writes is essential reading for anyone interested in the man, his writings and his times. The essays collected in this volume are insightful, informative and often entertaining as well, a rare combination.John Newsinger, author of Hope Lies in the ProlesOnce again Prof. Keeble has come up with some fascinating insightsinto the world of George Orwell.Richard Blair, Patron of The Orwell SocietyKeeble has skilfully broadened our appreciation of Orwell's wide-ranging interests, along with delightful eccentricities, that other scholars have traditionally glossed over.Sylvia Topp, author of Eileen: The Making of George Orwell Orwell's Moustache confirms Richard Keeble's reputation as one of Orwell's most acute and knowledgeable readers, reinventing for the twenty-first century a man we think we know: the always compelling, always contradictory figure of George Orwell whose passions, obsessions, strengths and secrets here assume new meanings through analysis of everything from Orwell's dress to his father, his wife, his jokes, his diet, his fishing, and of course, his writing and politics. Kristin Bluemel, Monmouth University, NJA brilliant and consistently original assortment of responses to the always surprising complexity of Orwell's obsessions, familiar and unfamiliar - from his love of fishing, to his enduring concern with the politics of food, to the delights of recording small things in small ways in small diary entries, and much more besides. This is imaginative and in the best sense sympathetic criticism written by one of today's leading Orwell scholars.Nathan Waddell, University of Birmingham
V.S.Naipaul: The Legacy

Sir Vidiadhar Surajprasad Naipaul was born in Chagunas, Trinidad on 17 August 1927 and he died in London on 11 August 2018, leaving behind a rich, vibrant and challenging legacy of fiction and non-fiction. His novels, for example A House for Mr Biswas and A Bend in the River, have been recognised as great literature. His non-fiction, for example A Million Mutinies Now and Beyond Belief, is controversial and has managed to upset Muslims, Africans, Caribbeans and women. He was a much garlanded writer, winning the Booker Prize in 1971, receiving a knighthood in England in 1990, and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2001. John Mair, Richard Keeble and Farrukh Dhondy have edited a collection of new and previously published articles and contributions about V.S. Naipaul and his legacy. Written by some great scholars, friends, journalists, and enemies, reflecting on his legacy, this book is a timely appreciation of the man, his work and his times.
Praise for Richard Williams' Helga Williams' range, depth, and downright virtuosity are rarely matched: "how beautiful / he is she / says & / she is / a mirror / never veiled." -John Cutaia Helga is about living life as it can be, and is meant to be lived--in awareness and love, in wakefulness and dreaminess, in togetherness and autonomy. There is a sense of dwelling on the horizon, peeking over, never giving in to fear, never tumbling out of the magic and fullness of being. -David Jewell, editor of Raw Paw's Mind Maze This gentle, loving book-of moments and moment-is a layered fountain, fashioned to replenish. There is beauty in art with purity of purpose; these poems and photos cleanse and vivify us, as they invite us into a joy at once private and eternal. -Michael Fitzgerald-Clarke, Townsville, Australia If you believe poems are prayers, join Richard Williams on his knees "pulling the petals of time apart," singing "I have but one thing to do today, be in love." -James McGrath, author of At the Edgelessness of Light, Speaking with Magpies, and The Sun is a Wandering Hunter Wedded to the immediacy of a 21st century affair of the heart, Williams' short line lengths are pointillist jabs at our consciousness; qualia jell into complete thoughts and we are left with our own array of impressions to consider. -Michael Gilmore, author of Reckless Astronomy Williams says, "he loves more than what is found," and that only "I fear not being real." We are reassured, however, early on in "psalms" that "what you truly need / will never leave." -Connie L. Williams, author of Dancing Backwards in Texas

The French King, the Ottoman Sultan and a feared warlord who claims descent from the infamous Vlad 'the Impaler' all yearn to possess this priceless treasure - but no one can acquire the Holy Lance without the help of English alchemist and adventurer, Thomas Devilstone.Set during the epic Ottoman-Hapsburg Wars of the early 16th Century, the second instalment of The Devilstone Chronicles follows the outlawed knight, necromancer and soldier-of-fortune Thomas Devilstone as he battles traitors, spies and the mysterious Order of the Dragon in his quest for honour and glory. Will Thomas and the men of the Devil's Band succeed in stealing the Holy Lance? Or will they fall victim to the Order of the Dragon's sinister Grand Master, the man who calls himself Lord Dracul...

Praise for CAPITAL INSTINCTS "Thom Weisels career has been remarkable. In sequence he has built two successful investment banking and research firms. That would be enough, but he has also revitalized the U.S. Ski Team, backed and inspired the winning Tour de France cycling team, encouraged Lance Armstrong to become a world-class competitor again after his battle with cancer, financially and spiritually empowered the Empower America think tank, and assembled a world-class contemporary art collection. You cannot do all this without having exceptional energy, uncanny vision, outstanding leadership qualities and extraordinary intuition. This book tells Thoms story and includes some of his own insightful thought pieces. In Capital Instincts, you will learn a lot about management, motivation, leadership and the special qualities of humanity that are the substance of greatness." Byron R. Wien Managing Director Morgan Stanley "Serial successes are rare. Those that span Silicon Valley and Wall Street, modern art, Olympic ski racing, and the Tour de France, rarer still. No, Capital Instincts: Life as an Entrepreneur, Financier, and Athlete isnt a novel. But it is a thriller. Richard Brandt isnt Robert Ludlum, but hell have you enjoying turning pages just as much. And Thom Weisel isnt Jason Bourne, but he moves about as fast and covers more territory. A fascinating force, a remarkable blend of energy and focus, of talent and instinct for markets and people, of guts and drive, he has lit up the worlds of finance, art and sports for decades. Part biography, part business history, part Weisels own views on subjects from management, investment banking and entrepreneurship to the Internet bubble/bust and financial future, Capital Instincts is simply riveting. More than a must reada delightful read as well. And with Weisel going strong, I can hardly wait for the sequel." Michael J. Boskin T.M. Friedman Professor of Economics and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Stanford University "Thom Weisel and Richard Brandt have produced an easy reading history that should be included in every business study program. Leadership lessons in sports and finance laced with real-life experiences. I found myself remembering recent headlines as Thom tells the inside story." Harvey W.
