1.AudenAuden
from Vintage

Customer Review:
This is splendid literature in it's own right. Davenport has gotten deeply into Auden's life and argues for it's unrelenting energy and pervasive sense of purpose. This might be missed in a life story which sometimes seems almost wearing in it's social and intellectual complexity. It is deeply and... more info

from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $12.71

Customer Review:
Nearing the end of the disastrous Bush administration, it's easy to forget that one of the biggest problems faced by Americans is the War on Drugs.

The late Hugh Trevor-Roper (1914-2003; later Baron Dacre of Glanton) was everything you want in an Oxford don: deeply learned; possessed of a wicked sense of humor; extremely clever (in the British sense of the term); sporting a period of service in the Secret Intelligence Service during the war... more info

from North Point Press

5.[no image]Vice: An Anthology
from Viking Adult

Customer Review:
A wonderful anthology, with selections that cover virtually every "vice" attached to man. Each one is celebrated in its way, and you are taken from the forbidden lust/love of adultery, and the guilty pleasure of voyeurism. A must have for any library.

from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
The pretext for this chatty meditation on Proust's final year was a 1922 dinner at the Hotel Majestic in Paris to celebrate a new production at the Ballets Russe. Hosted by an English couple who knew the players, it put Proust, Diaghilev, Picasso, Stravinsky, and Joyce in one place at one time--to... more info
