London Stories (Everyman's Library Pocket Classics Series)

Product Information

White's astute editing allows the stories to blend seamlessly, creating a cohesive narrative that unfolds through different eras and neighborhoods. This book for the first time makes it possible to learn all one needs to know about the world's great painters and painting.

This, together with a cross-cultural desire and need to be accepted, leads to a re-evaluation of sometimes deeply held beliefs and values and, ultimately, to the resolution or mitigation of the unique set of problems affecting each of the families.From Here to Here is a vibrant exploration of a place rich in stories and history, and teeming with plots and characters. The postbox is one of London's most iconic sights and is now a way for people to share their own stories far and wide. His in-depth photo essays explore social issues relating to identity, environment and human transition. Discover the quirky hidden history of three former stations that formed the most remote and easterly portion of the London Underground network.

Its 700 pages, crammed as they are with information and interspersed with over 300 reproductions of world-famous works of art, will be read as quickly and with as much absorption as any modern thriller, so fascinating are both style and matter. Other books I feel the same way about, especially anthologies which are a mix and match of genres and approaches.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Reaching back to the golden eras we get something from Defoe, from De Quincey and Thackeray, from Dickens and a nicely atmospheric Conan Doyle, { The Adventure Of The Blue Carbuncle}. The entire series of Everyman's Pocket Classics is a new discovery for me - I started with London Stories but I've already added New York Stories to my collection.
