My Bed is an Air Balloon - Julia Copus - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

My Bed is an Air Balloon - Julia Copus - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

When night falls my bed is an air balloon.I sail through the slipsiverse, close by the moon.I float above treetops where fluttertufts are sleepingAnd flowering hills where the whifflepigs go creeping;Ponds strung with starlight that glitter like glass,A floog with her velvet nose bent to the grass. Such treasures I spy on! My bed in the treesSwings me up high, like a circus trapeze.Now the cool, night-rustling airSlips through my finger-gaps, ripples my hair; Now we glide over water, the moon’s silver lightBlown by a cloudpuff into the bight,Adrift on the sea where the dream-shapes float;When night falls my bed is a sailing boat.A beautifully presented picture book with two front covers, the text can be read from front to back and vice versa. The mirror form poem meets in the middle in a stunning centrepiece image as the two children in the story (twins, one in an air balloon, the other a sailing boat) meet in the clouds!

Wood and Stone - John Cowper Powys - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Wood and Stone - John Cowper Powys - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Wood and Stone was John Cowper Powys'' first novel published in 1915. It is no prentice-work however - the author was already in his forties. The novel is set in the area of south Somerset that John Cowper Powys grew up in. The village of Nevilton is based on Montacute where his father was vicar for many years. When he wrote it Powys was living in the USA and it is perhaps this absence that accounts for the heightened vividness of the descriptive writing. Powys deploys a large and wonderfully delineated cast of characters. They are loosely divided between ''the well-constituted'' and ''the ill-constituted''. Characteristically Powys favours the latter.

The Sacred Wood - T. S. Eliot - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Sacred Wood - T. S. Eliot - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

This seminal book, Eliot''s first collection of literary criticism, appeared in London in 1920, two years before The Waste Land . It contains some of his most influential early essays and reviews, among them ''Tradition and the Individual Talent'', ''Hamlet and his Problems'', and Eliot''s thoughts on Marlowe, Jonson and Massinger, as well as his first tribute to Dante. Many of his most famous critical pronouncements come from the pages of The Sacred Wood .Reviewing his career as a critic in 1961 Eliot wrote that ''in my earlier criticism, both in my general affirmations about poetry and in writing about authors who influenced me, I was implicitly defending the sort of poetry that I and my friends wrote. This gave my essays a kind of urgency, the warmth of appeal of the advocate, which my later, more detached and I hope more judicial essays cannot claim.'' This urgency is still apparent more than eighty years after the essays first appeared.

A Bed of Roses - William Sansom - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

A Bed of Roses - William Sansom - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

When Guy Harrowby plays a particularly mean trick on the gentle Louise, she feels that the four-year-old bond between them is well and truly broken. She goes to Spain with two friends for a holiday and finds Guy on the same ship, excercising all his actor''s charm upon the impressionable Molly, but Louise accepts it as part of the process of curing herself of him. Also on board is the young architect, Michael Clary, to whom Louise becomes engaged. The cure should now be complete; yet, Guy continues to pursue her: for all his charm, he is an armour-plated egotist, equipped with an effrontery which neither Louise''s friends nor Molly''s outraged parents can cope with. As tension mounts, the inevitable explosion comes - a quick, sudden scene shattering in its violence. The background is as brilliantly-alive as the characters: the bull-fight, the Desfila, seguidilla and flamenco, the rain and grit and everyday life of Spain, its colour, harshness, dignity, disquiet, are all woven into the moods and actions of the travellers.

Havisham - Ronald Frame - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Havisham - Ronald Frame - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

There was a delicate tracery of gold foil on the back of the dress. How strange that such a consummately made garment should be worn for this one day only. But, as every girl growing up understood, her wedding day was the most significant she would know: a woman''s crowning glory. Catherine Havisham was born into privilege. Handsome, imperious, she is the daughter of a wealthy brewer, and lives in luxury in Satis House. But she is never far from the smell of hops and the arresting letters on the brewhouse wall - HAVISHAM. A reminder of all she owes to the family name and the family business.Sent by her father to stay with the Chadwycks, Catherine discovers literature, music and masquerades - elegant pastimes to remove the taint of new money. But for all her growing sophistication Catherine is anything but worldly, and when a charismatic stranger pays her attention, everything - her heart, her future, the very Havisham name - is vulnerable.It is a masterly tribute to one of Dickens''s most celebrated and iconic characters
