Feeling jittery about her writing career, Sylvia Townsend Warner spots a modest workman’s cottage for sale on the Dorset coast. 1941. Rosamond Lehmann settles in a Berkshire village, seeking a lovers’ retreat, a refuge from war, and a means of becoming ‘a writer again’.

" Ce n'est que bien plus tard que je découvris l'effet le plus surprenant de ma nouvelle vie scolaire : ma famille, ma chère famille, n'était plus le centre de mon existence. " Annoncé comme " à paraître " dès la sortie du Temps des secrets, Le Temps des amours sera différé par Pagnol pris par d'autres projets et qui, peut-être, retardait le moment de quitter les héros de son enfance. Personne n'y croyait plus lorsque, trois ans après la mort de l'écrivain, ses proches trouvèrent dans ses dossiers un certain nombre de chapitres achevés qui, mis bout à bout, constituaient ce Temps des amours.

Language of War is about what happens when your world changes overnight. When you wake up to the sound of helicopters and the smell of gunpowder. When your home is hit by shells or broken into by gunmen, and you spend another night in a basement-turned-bomb shelter. When, even though you’ve never held a weapon before, you realise the only choice is to fight back. It is about things one can never forget, or forgive.

Story
Straight Acting is a surprising portrait of Shakespeare's queer lives - his own and those in his plays and poems. It is a journey back in time and through Shakespeare's England, revealing a culture that both endorsed and supressed same-sex desire. It is a call to stop making Shakespeare act straight and to recognise how queerness powerfully shaped the life and career of the world's most famous playwright.

In his first autobiographical work, Jack Kerouac reveals exhilarating stories of the years he spent traveling, while writing his acclaimed novels. His journeys took him from California deserts crisscrossed by train tracks to the bullfights of Mexico to the Beat nightlife of New York City and across the Atlantic to Paris, Morocco, and London. He also writes about relationship, jobs, and the nature of life on the road. Here are echoes of landscapes that appear in some of his novels, including The Dharma Bums and Desolation Angels.
