Vampires At Midnight

The  long awaited travel book from John Brown (remember 'Return to Oz'?) which explodes the myths held by many about the North of England. From the lush plains of Cheshire to the Yorkshire Dales and Northumberland, from Hadrian's Wall to Cumbria, Lancashire and Merseyside - John Brown skillfully picks away at the widely-held belief that all people 'North of Watford Gap' live in terraced houses, keep whippets and pigeons, and wear flat caps and clogs. Revised 2021

North Of Watford Gap

John Brown (Torrington, 9 maggio 1800 - Charles Town, 2 dicembre 1859) è stato un attivista fautore dell'Abolizionismo negli Stati Uniti d'America, dedito alla causa dell'Underground Railroad, che credeva e sosteneva l'insurrezione armata come l'unico modo per rovesciare l'istituzione della schiavitù negli Stati Uniti d'America..

Norwich Today -if you look at Norwich on a map, you would wonder, just who visits here.? To say that Norwich is  out of  the way, is  somewhat of  an understatement. It's worth remembering (as previously stated), that at one time,   Norwich   was  considered   a  serious   contender  for   the  mantle   of England's premier city. Her commerce and general levels of wealth were of such impressive  proportions, that nobody underestimated  the power held in this outpost of Norfolk. Evidence  of such in   uence is everywhere in  modern-day Norwich, from  its stunning  Cathedral,  to its  majestic  Georgian  squares and mansion  houses. Norwich today, has an easy and relaxed atmosphere, not least  because it  is very car-free.  In  factA Bookopedia Compact Travel Book

In Search Of John Brown - The Shipbuilder & The Colonialist

Ce livre, établi selon la formule du Panorama de la nouvelle Littérature française de Gaëtan Picon, comprend deux parties principales:une introduction et un choix de textes. L'introduction constitue, pour la première fois, sans doute, en France, une étude d'ensemble, méthodique et suivie, de la littérature américaine contemporaine à travers ses diverses tendances et ses différentes manifestations:le roman, la poésie, le spectacle, le mouvement des idées, etc., dans ces trente dernières années. En trois cents pages substantielles, les écrivains et leurs oeuvres principales sont analysés de façon aussi précise et complète que possible - parfois sous un éclairage nouveau pour le lecteur français, car l'auteur nous propose en général, dans ce Panorama, un certain reclassement des valeurs. La critique de John Brown n'est jamais abstraite, mais s'efforce, au contraire, de tenir compte des réalités concrètes:la vie des auteurs, leur milieu, les conditions historiques et sociales qui, aux États-Unis plus qu'en France peut-être, déterminent la création littéraire. John Brown consacre à ces facteurs d'importants développements. Ainsi, cette introduction, prolongée de 300 pages de textes (dont certains inédits en français) d'écrivains américains contemporains et illustrée de 16 hors-texte photographiques, veut être, autant qu'un essai critique, l'évocation d'une civilisation à travers une littérature.
