Paperback. Zustand: Good. Adventures and Enthusiasms by E.V. Lucas is a collection of essays that delve into various aspects of human nature, society, and the author's personal reflections. The book opens with a discussion on the qualities of a perfect guest, emphasizing the virtues of adaptability and consideration. Lucas humorously critiques the self-deception people often engage in regarding their social skills. The narrative then shifts to a series of character sketches and anecdotes, such as the charming tale of M. Pol, the Charmeur d'oiseaux, who captivates sparrows in the Tuileries Gardens, illustrating the simple joys and connections between humans and nature. Lucas also reflects on historical figures and events, such as Sir Francis Drake, whose legacy is humorously intertwined with the game of bowls on Plymouth Hoe. The author muses on the importance of tradition and memory, suggesting that tangible reminders of history, like the proposed placement of Drake's ship on St. Paul's, could enrich public consciousness. The essays further explore themes of innocence and impulse, as seen in the story of a young soldier with tattooed declarations of love, prompting reflections on the nature of youthful decisions and their lasting impact. Lucas's writing is characterized by a blend of wit, irony, and a deep appreciation for the quirks of human behavior. Through his essays, he invites readers to ponder the complexities of life, the value of possessions, and the enduring power of stories and imagination.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The movie audience respects talent but revels in charisma, and is always ready to elevate a star who is as much as character off the screen as on it. Ever since he came to the attention of the American public in the 1960s, Jack Nicholson has been the whole package. But who among us really knows the man who smiles that wicked grin from behind the darkest of shades? His generation's Mr. Hollywood, a fixture next to the Los Angeles Lakers bench, is in fact a native New Yorker: the son of a showgirl, born in the city in 1937 and raised largely by his grandmother so that Jack's mom could continue her career as a hoofer. Starting out, he appeared in B movies directed by Roger Corman, then burst through in the counter-culture classic Easy Rider. Immediately, his abilities were recognized in dramas, comedies, anything-and the awards and nominations began to pile up (he's been nominated for a dozen Academy Awards and has won three). Meantime, his rascal's persona and happily loose social life provided another kind of delicious entertainment; he has, down the decades, spent as much of his career in front of still cameras (often LIFE's) as he has on the set. If you want to know Jack, and enjoy his colorful life in all its ever-blazing glory, this latest, lavishly illustrated edition in LIFE's new Icons series is the book for you. LIFE Icons celebrates the larger-than-life figures among us, and none is larger than Jack Nicholson.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. History was made on the first three days of July 1863 at Gettysburg, Pa., where Confederate General Robert E. Lee waged a final desperate gamble to win the Civil War-and lost. Now TIME celebrates the 150th anniversary of this pivotal battle in a freshly reported, incisively written and beautifully illustrated volume. TIME has enlisted a brilliant roster of writers to offer fresh perspectives on this iconic battle. Best-selling novelist Jeff Shaara will create a fictional portrait of a Southern soldier in the ranks, and military historian David Eisenhower will examine the strategy of the battle. Noted TIME weekly writers include Richard Lacayo on photography in the war, Jeff Kluger on medicine on the battlefield, David Von Drehle on Lincoln and his generals, and critic Richard Corliss on the war on film, while veteran TIME cartographer Jackson Dykman is creating all new maps for the book. This oversized hardcover edition will offer a magnificent canvas for classic war photographs and other images from the period.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Probably the most famous combat photographs ever made were those taken on the beach in Normandy during the D-Day invasions by Robert Capa, shooting for LIFE and going in with the first wave. The saga of those images has been told before and will be again in this commemorative book: How Capa got out alive (he would later be killed while covering war in Southeast Asia), how he got his film back to London for transfer to New York, how most of his images were ruined and the 11 frames that survived had taken on a grainy quality that seemed to reflect the shaking beach under German bombardment, and even how Steven Spielberg used that look to inform the first half-hour of his classic film Saving Private Ryan. Armed with two cameras, LIFE's Capa volunteered to hit the French coast, code-named Omaha Beach, with the first wave of 1st Division soldiers, and later remembered (in the kind of first-hand testimony that will fill this book) bullets tearing holes in the water around him, and then what he saw as an idyllic shoreline becoming the ugliest beach in the world. Henry Luce, looking back, said LIFE had not been born as a war magazine in 1936, but that world events made it one-it was necessary for the people at home to see what was really happening over there. By the time 1.5 million American servicemen and women were squeezing into Southern England in advance of 1944's Operation Overlord invasions, a sizable battalion of LIFE photographers was among them. If Capa's pictures became the most famous, there were so many others by Landry, Morse, Silk and more. America looked to LIFE to tell the story 70 years ago, and will do so again in this book.…
