Описание: In this deftly funny travel narrative, an Anglophone couple escape to the French Riviera, encountering beauty, romance, ooh-la-la moments, and more hijinks and hilarity than they had ever bargained for. When Stephen Foey and his wife planned their trip along the C te d'Azur, they dreamt of stunning beaches, opulent hotels and gourmet food. But in their wildest dreams, they couldn't have imagined the host of oddball characters and comical situations they'd encounter there. In the tradition of Bill Bryson and Peter Mayle, Stephen Foey describes one of the world's most sought-after landscapes with a humorist's eye and self-deprecating wit. Whether our protagonist is fumbling for exactly the right - and therefore utterly wrong - French phrase, white-knuckling the autoroutes while the locals cruise by, or getting trapped in a high-tech European toilet, he never fails to entertain. His wife is a perfect foil, moving breezily through the holiday, charming and disarming everyone she meets, and keeping her husband calm and sane throughout their journey to over forty towns and villages. With vivid description of sights and attractions, cleverly interwoven with Foey's British sense of humour, Ooh-la-la Land is a must-read for anyone travelling to the south of France.
The summer of 64--the height of the Cold War You will gain a new respect (or frightening concern) for the military component of our foreign policy. Marine captain Roger Yahnke is assigned as a nuclear weapons delivery pilot aboard a US supercarrier. He is assigned his own aircraft, his own bomb, and his own target--an Eastern Bloc city that he will vaporize should the Russians launch one ballistic missile westward (or someone somewhere think they did). Standby for compelling (some mirthful, some tragic―all engaging) shipboard events. But that's nothing compared to what happens when he's ashore In each exciting port of call--though certainly not God-gifted with the flair it should take, he somehow cobbles the lan to meet newer, grander, and more exciting people; is invited to their secret haunts and becomes involved in scenarios he never dreamt existed. From the bronzed and oiled hedonism of the Cote d'Azur beaches, to bargaining with the KGB in an abandoned house in Bulgaria; from a jail cell in Istanbul where he spends the night with an international film star, to a sunny veranda on the island of Rhodes where he lunches with an exiled king, The French Riviera, Leo, June, and Big Trouble recounts Roger's baptism to another world and his desperate struggle with his own crippling dilemma. The cruise ends, but not soon enough. Roger has gotten the scent and is forever altered. Although the value of the series could well rest on the merits of the unnerving escapades, exciting venues, and intriguing characters, above all and throughout it is a compelling tale of one man's battle with an embarrassing shortcoming; an honest (and ultimately shocking) account of a uniquely driven life.

Описание: In his eighty-eighth year, John Boorman CBE uses his time in lockdown to reflect on the splendour of the surrounding nature of County Wicklow. Poetry flows from his pen as he sits chairbound among his trees and flora: sycamores, beech, oak, redwood, shrubs and flowers, birdsong and shifting skies are luminously recorded as the world falls silent.
