Paperback. Zustand: Good. English ?No living writer knows Spain as well as Mr Brenan does,? V.S. Pritchett once said, ?and none has written about Spanish life, literature and history so searchingly.? The Face of Spain, Brenan?s classic travel book, gives us both a bird?s-eye view of life in Spain under Franco in 1949 and insight…s into a Spain and its people that are timeless and eternal. He wrote it for the first-time visitor as well as for the confirmed Hispanophile, providing a blend of history, anecdotes and digressions ? on Baroque art, on the thriving black market, on his search for Lorca?s grave in Granada, on wines, waiters and churches ? that adds up to an account richly redolent with the flavours of Spain. ?The ideal travel book would combine the fresh vision of the tourist with the experience of the oldest inhabitant. Such a combination hardly ever occurs. Mr Brenan has achieved this miraculous conjunction of the old and the new eye, of familiarity and surprise? ? Harold Nicolson in the Observer.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Riding the Sheep's Back: The Rise and Fall of John McNamara & Company tells the history of this iconic family of stock and station agents, well known in Victoria in the early 20th century. From the family's origins in Ireland and John McNamara's arrival in Australia in 1841, to the early year…s of the family business and the eventual sale of John McNamara & Company to Australian Estates in the late 1940's, this is a fascinating account of both the family and the founding of what was a very successful company for many years. Riding the Sheep's Back shares both the good and the bad, the beginnings and achievements of the company and the family businesses that so many of the McNamara family were a part of. It also tells of the unexpected, and in many ways tragic, final days of a company that had enjoyed such great success since it's early days at the Newmarket Saleyards.

In den Warenkorbdj. First U.K. Edition. Octavo. 23cm. Publisher's black cloth boards titled in gilt to spine. Dustjacket. 65pp. Bumped to spine ends and corners, with a slight lean, and a small tear to the cloth at the head of the spine, bright and clean; internally clean, fore-edge untrimmed, handsome paper stock, inscribed by the author to th…e artist Augustus John on the front flyleaf; in a dustwrapper that has seen some wear with loss and creasing to the spine ends, a triangle of loss to the lower third of the spine panel, uniform fading, marginal chipping and some tape reinforcement to the verso. A very good copy by dint of solidity and association, in the scarce jacket, that has perhaps seen better days, but not recently and not in front of any reliable witnesses. The inscription reads "Augustus John, from Gerald Brenan" with the later pencilled addition of his pseudonym below. In 1922 John stayed with Brenan in his remarkable self-imposed exile in Spain, in the tiny village of Yegen, found in the Granadan Alpujarra. The stay was commemorated by, among other things, a photograph album of John, his family, Brenan, and a number of other subjects taken by John Hope-Johnstone, which now resides in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Hope-Johnstone, Brenan's life-long companion, had originally set out with him to walk to China in the last years before WW1. The intrepid duo got as far as Bosnia before having to abandon their plan, and their future adventures were curtailed by the war. Both men immediately joined up, served, and returned to England where Hope-Johnstone introduced Brenan to his rather erratic group of friends, occasional lovers, and acquaintances, who would later become known as "The Bloomsbury Group". Brenan, unable to handle the stultifying, pompous sterility of post war London, and chiefly to avoid any contact with his Kitchener-esque martinet of a father; fled to Spain where his tiny, solitary cottage became an informal vacation destination for Leonard and Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey (haemorrhoids and all), Dora Carrington (with whom Brenan had a vigorous affair), David Garnett, and just about every member of the Group who ever put pen to paper or brush to canvas. Augustus John and his boys were no exception, Duncan Grant stayed, Roger Fry visited, and Bertrand Russell made an extended holiday that, Withnail like, almost killed him when he ignored the advice of Brenan's housekeeper and wolfed down a can of rotten meat that had him delirious, hallucinating, and on the brink of death. Brenan was more noted for his passionate works on Spain, earning him the admiration of Bruce Chatwin, who made a pilgrimage to see him in the early 1970's; but this piece of satirical weirdness, based on the 18th century Partridge Almanacks, with a series of arch twists, is one of his stranger contributions to literature. Aside from his poetic output, Brenan was also known for his crippling depression and loneliness, which rather than being amplified by his solitude, was in fact triggered into being by his attempts at normal social behavior. An interesting association, springing from mutual strangeness and admiration.
