Dancing into Battle - Nicholas Foulkes - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Dancing into Battle - Nicholas Foulkes - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

The social backdrop, vividly described, to one of the greatest battles in European history, Waterloo 1815 The summer of 1815 saw the final and desperate efforts of European powers to usurp Napoleon''s reign over France. The pivotal moment was unfolding in an age where war was a social occasion; the military urgency was matched only by the soldiers and their wives'' frantic efforts to keep apace of the lavish balls which were being thrown. The intention to deny war with frivolity persevered until 15 June, when the tension broke, and troops exchanged dance partners for weapons and prepared for battle. Nick Foulkes captures the sense of what it was like to be at the very hub of events when the fate of Europe seemed to hang in the balance.

Bad Times In Buenos Aires - Miranda France - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

Bad Times In Buenos Aires - Miranda France - Bog - Orion Publishing Co - Plusbog.dk

A funny and poignant account of life in Buenos Aires, by a young prize-winning writer. In 1993 Miranda France moved to South America, drawn to Buenos Aires as the intellectual hub of the continent, with its wealth of writers and its romantic, passionate and tragic history. She found that is was all these things, but it was also a terrible place to live.The inhabitants of Buenos Aires are famously unhappy. All over South America they are known for their arrogance, their fixation of Europe and their moodiness. Very soon, Miranda France encounters'' bronca'' - the simmering and barely controllable rage that is a staple feature of life in the Argentinian capital. She finds that ''bronca'' has deep roots: the violence and racism of the first European settlers; the dictatorships, especially in the 1970s when so many ''disappeared''; even Evita Peron, for there was no rage to rival Evita''s.
