Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It is Berlin, 1929. The inflation-hungry city is edging towards disaster, but seven-foot Jewish orphan Esther Rosenbaum is serving up a banquet for friends. They are the bohemians, artists and kabarett composers who have sampled her finest recipes in the legendary Schorns restaurant and long declared her Germany's most celebrated chef. Except it is a life built on quicksand: Schorns' proprietor is owned by a gay black marketeer, Leon Wolf, but patronised by Nazis. The revolutionaries who briefly seized power ten years earlier are distracted by personal feuds and vendettas, manipulated by one Bertolt Brecht. While Esther, once a towering presence clad in her peacock tapestry skirts, has started to dress as a man to blend into Berlin's vicious night streets.The cook capable of creating delicacies such as chocolate hearts stuffed with saffron pen nibs has stopped eating and is reducing herself to bone. Using a burlesque brand of magic realism, Penny Simpson conjures up fantastical elements to show how cookery can be an act of storytelling, and imagination itself an act of subversion and survival. The interwar cabaret scene in Munich and Berlin, seen through the eyes of a seven foot Jewish giantess. The tapestry of Jewish culture, evoked through food, theatre, clothes and custom, at the point at which it is about to unravel. This retro epic evokes Angela Carter's brand of burlesque magic realism. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Japanese Pottery Handbook, first published by Kodansha in 1979, has become a classic, beloved by anyone interested in pottery for its practical, step-by-step approach, and homespun charm. Now, thirty-five years since its publication, authors Penny Simpson and Lucy Kitto have refreshed their work, expanding and adding to the material, re-designing the pages, and re-drawing many of the delightful illustrations. The book has a cleaner, more modern look, yet retains the simple, friendly, and distinctively Japanese sensibility of the original. In addition to the new layout and drawings, the authors have tweaked the text and expanded several sections (including the discussion of underglazing and overglazing, and the Tea Ceremony and its utensils). There's also a new page showing different types of brushes; and the Information chapter has been updated to include websites and recent books.The book is a manual to the way pots are made in Japan, their forms, and their decorations.The authors give a thorough account of both traditional and modern techniques and also describe in detail tools, materials, glazes, and the setup of workshops and kilns. Lucy Kiitto's sprightly drawings infuse each page with life and clarity. Pottery terms and expressions are listed with their Japanese equivalents, and the new edition keeps the bi-lingual text, making it easier for the exchange of ideas between foreign students studying in Japan and Japanese potters. This compact reference explains the basic terms, processes, classifications, tools, materials and techniques of Japanese potters.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Two periods of Croatian history are interwoven in the stories of a sculptor and a student both seeking truths about their parents. Antun belongs to 1941, the time of the first Independent State of Croatia, and Dagmar, 1998, when a second attempt at independence was forged, following the Balkan War of 1992 - 1995. Set in Split, Zagreb and Hvar, the novel explores how a country like Croatia could implode into such violence; how history is still a living (and unspent) force for many and how might it be possible to trace out a future when so much has been broken and destroyed. Can a country torn apart by civil war ever know peace? Was the price paid for independence really worth it? In 1941, artist Antun Fiskovic experiences a sea-change in his fortunes following the revelation of the identity of his real parents, just as occupying forces take over the government of his country. Fifty years later, a young woman called Dagmar Petric begins a search for answers to the suicide of her father, a disgraced journalist in Tito's Jugoslavia. Antun and Dagmar's stories come together in 1998, in a newly independent Croatia. But what happens when the dead come to life?This is the question that haunts both protagonists, a question that is only answered when Antun breaks his silence over the bitter legacy of a wartime killing by Branko Ostojic, a childhood friend and partizani hero, as the sculptor prepares for his retrospective. Set in Split, Zagreb and Hvar in the Forties and the Nineties, sculptor Antun and student Dagmar are separately seeking truths about their parents. The novel explores how a country like Croatia could implode into violence; how history is still a living (and unspent) force for many, and how, when so much has been destroyed, may a future re-emerge.
