Softcover. Zustand: Good. 1st.ed. Rhyming slang is an integral part of the English language and has been so for the best part of 200 years. In Cockney Rabbit Ray Puxley has collected together all the old, familiar expressions, along with many new terms -- some recorded for the first time -- to create a sparkling, authoritative and highly entertaining dick'narry of this ever-popular form of speech.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Comic actor, writer, singer, broadcaster: Bill Oddie has never been sure what he is. The only thing he is definitely sure of is his passion for birds. He has literally travelled the world in their pursuit and in this book Bill recalls some of the most memorable - and often bizarre - circumstances in which he has found himself and the birds. It really doesn't matter where he is or which species it is it is the stories that matter. With his customary humor, and eye for the quaint and quirky, Bill Oddie, through his own experiences, examines many aspects of bird-watching, bird people, and birds - from the Tropics to the British Isles. He has produced a book that all birding folk (and those who enjoy good travel writing) will relish.

You would be instantly forgiven if you thought that the ability to abuse and outrage and find negative things to say about other politicians is imperative for those embarking on a British political career As author Greg Knight explains the crescendo of emotion the torrent of abuse and the flash of bad temper are the ingredients which make a good political speech truly great British politicians are only too aware that gratuitously insulting oponents and even colleagues can enliven the dullest of speeches and to celebrate the wealth of vitriol heard over the centuries Greg Knight has compiled this stinging collection of waspishness acerbity illtemper and downright rudeness Enjoy.

Softcover. Zustand: Good. New Edition. In this affectionate and probing biography - hailed widely as the definitive biography of this grand master of comedy - John McCabe has pieced together a magnificent portrait of this complex and elusive man.<br />The previously published accounts of Charlie Chaplin's life - by himself and others - differ widely, and John McCabe has endeavoured to sift out the truth behind the endless legends, misconceptions and plain errors which have surrounded Chaplin's public and private odyssey. Drawing on many personal interviews with Chaplin's friends and contemporaries - including remarkable conversations with Stan Laurel, who knew Chpaplin in his formative years on the English music-hall stage - this is a warm and richly illuminating look at a true phenomenon of our times and an enormously complicated man who turned the straightforward craft of slapstick into an artform that astonished the world.

Buch Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Illus (illustrator). First Edition. Truth is stranger than fiction and Gene Tunney's story really does read like fiction. The boy from a working-class Irish family was raised in New York's Greenwich Village then worked as a clerk until he joined the US Marine Corps and served in France until the Armistice. Tunney's fighting took place in the boxing ring and he returned home as champion of the American Expeditionary Force. His old job gone, he became a professional boxer and set his sights on Jack Dempsey, famed and feared heavyweight champion of the world. In 1928 he retired as undefeated champion and a millionaire to marry a beautiful heiress to the Carnegie steel fortune. As successful in business as boxing, Tunney became a captain of industry. His circle of friends included the President and such writers as Thornton Wilder and George Bernard Shaw. This is his amazing life story.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Here was the archetypal tale of the ugly duckling who with sheer willpower and courage of conviction transformed herself into the most beautiful of swans. Maria Calogeropoulos, the shy akward daughter of Greek immigrants, rose like a shooting star to become the greatest operatic diva this century. By applying the experiences and emotions of her own troubled life, Callas was able to climb inside the skin of each of her heroines and bring these often wretched women to life in a unique way. Yet Callas' greatest role was herself, the tempermental diva whose tantrums and walkouts were almost as sensational as her entrances, the consumate professional who had no patience with time-wasters or second-raters, the voluptuous siren whose ability to seduce brought her a series of relationships which were destined to be doomed; Oscar, the enemy soldier so cruelly wrenched from her; Rossi-Lemeni and Mangliveras, the opera stars who used her, only to find the tables turned on themselves; Meneghini, the man who fashioned her career and married her, only to dicover he could not tame the tigress; Visconti, Bernstein and Pasolini, homosexuals she attempted to 'cure', and the greatest love of her life, Aristotle Onassis, Whose death set her on a rapid downward spiral. Off and on stage, Maria Callas was the Sacred Goddess. This is her story.
