Begun in the autumn of 1957 and published posthumously in 1964, Ernest Hemingway's "A Moveable Feast" captures what it meant to be young and poor and writing in Paris during the 1920s. A correspondent for the "Toronto Star, " Hemingway arrived in Paris in 1921, three years after the trauma of the Great War and at the beginning of the transformation of Europe's cultural landscape: Braque and Picasso were experimenting with cubist form; James Joyce, long living in self-imposed exile from his native Dublin, had just completed "Ulysses; " Gertrude Stein held court at 27 Rue de Fleurus, and deemed young Ernest a member of "une gneration perdue; " and T.S. Eliot was a bank clerk in London. It was during these years that the as-of-yet unpublished young writer gathered the material for his first novel "The Sun Also Rises, " and the subsequent masterpieces that followed.

Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain (USED)

Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain (USED)

$12.00
More Info
The famed and feared occultist Aleister Crowley was never in one place long. His travels took him across the globe, sometimes as a seeker, at other times staying just ahead of creditors, rivals and cast-off lovers.
In this large-format illustrated map and guide, author Gary Lachman documents key locations in the homeland to which Aleister Crowley always returned, from his birth in Royal Leamington Spa in 1875 to his death in Hastings in 1947.
The 40-plus entries include Carlisle, where a teenage Crowley slept with a hotel chambermaid and threw his tutor out of a boat; Boleskine, his house on Loch Ness, later owned by Jimmy Page; and numerous London addresses, including residences, pubs, occult shops and even the Café Royal, where he pretended to be invisible and ran out on the bill.
Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain offers insight into the life of an intriguing, complex and profoundly flawed character, whose influence reverberates long after his death.

In 1979 Hitchcock was the recipient of the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. Before presenting the award to him, Oscar winner Ingrid Bergman, who starred in three Hitchcock films-Spellbound (1945), Notorious (1946), and Under Capricorn (1949)-called him "an admirable genius."

From "Hitchcock and the Ladies"

Atlas told her that "[I'm going to] teach you boxing . . . so that you can learn how to go into dark places and not get broken down. If you can learn that bit of the discipline that fighters learn, you can take that onto the stage with you."

From "Teddy's Adventures in Trainer Land"

The trade that sent Rogers to the Rangers foreshadowed many of the idiotic trades and front office and coaching changes the Whalers made during their NHL existence.
