Описание: She has written the best travel books of her generation and her name will survive as an artist in prose. - The ObserverWritten just after the Second World War, Perseus in the Wind (named after the constellation) is perhaps the most personal, and haunting, of all Freya Starks writings. She muses on the seasons, the effect light has on a landscape at a particular time of day, the smell of the earth after rain, Muslim saints, Indian temples, war and old age. Each chapter is devoted to a particular theme: happiness (simple pleasures, like her fathers passion for the view from his cabin in Canada); education (to be able to command happiness, recognise beauty, value death, increase enjoyment); beauty (incongruous, flighty and elusive - a description of the stars, the burst of flowers in a park); death (a childhood awareness of the finality of time, the meaningfulness of the end); memory (the jewelled quality of literature, pleasure, love, an echo or a scent when aged by the passage of time).

For those who have loved her travel writing, Perseus in the Wind illuminates the motivations behind Freya Starks journeys and the woman behind the traveller.

Описание: A New York Times Notable Book - Finalist for the PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction

"Highly readable biography . . . The woman who emerges from these pages is a complex figure--heroic, driven . . . and entirely human."--Richard Bernstein, The New York Times

Passionate Nomad captures the momentous life and times of Freya Stark with precision, compassion, and marvelous detail. Hailed by The Times of London as "the last of the Romantic Travellers" upon her death in 1993, Freya Stark combined unflappable bravery, formidable charm, fearsome intellect, and ferocious ambition to become the twentieth century's best-known woman traveler. Digging beneath the mythology, Geniesse uncovers a complex, controversial, and quixotic woman whose indomitable spirit was forged by contradictions: a child of privilege, Stark grew up in near poverty; yearning for formal education, she was largely self-taught; longing for love, she consistently focused on the wrong men. Despite these hardships, Stark's astonishing career spanned more than sixty years, during which she produced twenty-two books that sealed her reputation as a consummate woman of letters.

This edition includes a new Epilogue by the author that, citing newly discovered evidence, calls into question the circumstances of Stark's birth and adds new insight into this adventurous and lively personality.

Praise for Passionate Nomad

"Passionate Nomad is a work of nonfiction that reads and sings with the drama and lilt of a fine novel. The story of Freya Stark is stunning, inspiring, sad, funny, unique, and moving. Jane Fletcher Geniesse tells it straight, but with a care for delicious detail and a sympathy for the characters that make this a truly special book."--Jim Lehrer

"Passionate Nomad supplies a fascinating individual thread in the tapestry of twentiethcentury Middle Eastern history. . . . Geniesse] has achieved, in the end, an admirable focus, at once critical and sympathetic. . . . For all Stark's unresolved contradictions, . . . her distinction as a latter-day woman of letters survives."--The New York Times Book Review

"Compulsively readable . . . Geniesse] has done a thorough job re-creating the life of a woman many consider to be the last of the great romantic travelers."--The Plain Dealer (Cleveland)

Описание: Through a comparative study of India, Germany, and the USA, Everett examines the roles of religious traditions in the development of modern federal republicanism. He argues that a better comparative grasp of political and religious dynamics is essential to our understanding of the establishment, sustenance, and development of federal republican governance in both Western and non-Western cultures.
