Super translation into English by Chris Turner of Jean Baudrillard's provocative classic 'Amérique'. A magnificent account of a journey through the only really primitive society left on the planet - viz. the USA. A nice bit of travel writing with some juicy philosophy thrown in for good measure. _

Truly engaging novel by Jan Morris, originally published in 1985, but enlarged and republished last year. Featured in hidden europe e-news in March 2007. _

Deliciously eclectic series of essays on the literary and historical traditions that have shaped modern Europe. Often perceptive, sometimes funny and always superbly written. _
