Softcover. Condition: used. New Ed. M is the name of an enigma. In his short and violent life, Michaelangelo Merisi, from Caravaggio, changed art for ever. In the process, he laid bare his own sexual longing and the brutal realities of his life with shocking frankness. Like no painter before him and few since, M the man appears in his art. As a book about art and life and how they connect, there has never been anything quite like it. "A great read; it grabs, it kicks, it lives. Feel the force of Caravaggio's cutting edge" - "Guardian". "Written in a vehemently passionate and colloquial style, M is an abrasive, flawed, idiosyncratic book, but it is full of energy. Peter Robb's Caravaggio may not be entirely believable, but he is thoroughly alive, a being as full of mystery and contradictions as the painter once seemed to his contemporaries" - "Daily Telegraph". 1150.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Common Reader Edition. The late James Lees-Milne (19081998) was among the most celebrated of modern diarists; his published entries (which span the years 1942 through 1974) offer an unparalleled social and cultural portrait of modern and because of the authors decades in the service of The National Trust historic Britain. Another Self narrates the authors early life, before his diaries begin: childhood in Worcestershire under the mismatched wings of a ighty mother and an obdurate father; studies at Eton and Oxford; holidays (of remarkable hilarity) in Portugal and bandit-ridden Corsica; army service (remarkably, of equal hilarity) at the start of World War II. What distinguishes this civilized and extraordinarily humorous autobiography is the way Lees-Milnes memories are made to cohere into shapely comedies; each chapter is a set piece of deft characterization, outrageous anecdote, and climactic surprise.
