This Bloody Mary - Jonathan Rendall - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

This Bloody Mary - Jonathan Rendall - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The sport of boxing is dying in a last explosion of dollars. Its beleaguered performers are reaching up for a last payday with bravery, one-liners and self-delusion. Fittingly it is in boxing''s capital, in a faded downtown Vegas casino with a hooker for company, that the author, a boxing writer and sometime boxer''s agent, reflects on his own exit from the scene. As the boxing world starts to recede, the characters he has lived with, and for, rear sharply into focus one last time: the astonishing Jack Kid Berg, and Kid Chocolate the Havana Dandy, and ''Sweet C'' McMillan. This Bloody Mary is the journey of an obsession. It started innocently enough. But as it proceeds, the arc lights begin to shift, until even the shadows in the minds of those who inhabit and surround the ring seem caught in their glare.

East End My Cradle - Willy Goldman - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

East End My Cradle - Willy Goldman - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

East End My Cradle is a classic, still as fresh, vivid and compulsively readable as when Willy Goldman first penned it seventy years ago. This remarkable book was written with first-hand knowledge of both the East End and its diverse range of impoverished and tough characters. Goldman describes the years of childhood and adolescence through to young adulthood spent around the streets and back lanes of the East End and its dance and boxing halls, tenements and alleyways, peppered with petty crime and prostitution. A truly vibrant account of a young life, in a world as joyful and boisterous as it was harsh and unforgiving.

Cape Summer and the Australians in England - Alan Ross - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Cape Summer and the Australians in England - Alan Ross - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Alan Ross (1922-2001) - distinguished poet, travel writer, and editor of London Magazine - also managed to excel in the role of cricket correspondent for the Observer , in which capacity he followed England/MCC on tours of Australia, South Africa and the West Indies. In the book-length accounts he published of these tours, his lifelong love of the game found glorious expression. Cape Summer and the Australians in England (1957) treats the 1956 Ashes series, memorable above all for the bowling performance of Jim Laker; and the following winter''s MCC tour to apartheid South Africa, where one of England''s strongest ever sides had an unexpectedly tough contest and where, as ever, Ross''s discerning eye and finessing pen were alive to dimensions of the game beyond the boundary rope.

The Bog People - Professor P.v. Glob - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Bog People - Professor P.v. Glob - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

This classic book about the remains of iron-age people preserved in peat-bogs throws fascinating light on ancient ways of life, religion and rituals. During the last two centuries, workers in bogs throughout Europe have often accidentally exposed sunken human bodies that looked to them like incarnate devils. Actually, they were being confronted with their own ancestors of two thousand and more years ago. The bog waters have kept the bodies from decay, sometimes even preserving the facial expression at the moment of death. Most of these bog people bear signs of violent ends. Are they murder victims, sacrificial victims, or executed criminals?Acting as a consultant after the discovery of one such body, Professor Glob noted that the anguished face seemed peaceful when viewed apart from the means of death: the rope still tight around the neck. Later he perceived a connection between these bodies and a fertility goddess often portrayed with neck chains. In The Bog People , Glob unravels the dark, forbidding background of their story.

F. Powys'' editor, concludes his preface in a way that would be difficult to better, ''They (the stories) should all be read slowly. Powys is not a literalist; his words convey more than their face value. These stories treat of the general and unalterable, with subtlety of thought and feeling, and with simplicity of presentation. Wisdom and humour are embedded in them. They reveal the infinite mystery, the fluid inconsistencies of life. They are delicate, wiry and human. ''God''s eyes'' are ''a-twinkle''. But the main business is the incalculable doings of that oddity Man.'' In addition to God''s Eyes A-Twinkle , Faber Finds are reissuing the following T. F. Powys books: Mr Tasker''s Gods ; Mark Only ; Fables ; Mockery Gap ; Innocent Birds .

The Press and Its Readers - Mass Observation - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

The Press and Its Readers - Mass Observation - Bog - Faber & Faber - Plusbog.dk

Mass Observation was founded by Tom Harrisson, Charles Madge and Humphrey Jennings in 1937. Its purpose was to create ''an anthropology of ourselves'' in other words, to study the everyday lives of ordinary people in Britain. Discounting an initial pamphlet, this was the seventeenth book to be published. It appears in Faber Finds as a part of an extensive reissue programme of the original Mass Observation titles. Within the initial Mass Observation titles there was a sub-series called ''Change'' reports. This is the only one, so far, Faber Finds is reissuing and it was the seventh in that sub-series, first published in 1949.In the introduction, it is made clear ''there have been successive attempts to analyse circulation by age, social class and sex'' but ''little attention has been given to the study of attitudes of readers to their newspapers.'' The Report, like so much else Mass Observation did then, was a pioneering study.Extracts from two chapters give a flavour of the book.In ''Readers Observed'' we come across, for example:A skilled working-man, aged 60. ''Wering trilby hat, gloves, blue jacket, black striped trousers. Takes up News Chronicle . First spends 2 minutes skipping through whole contents of the frontpage, only reads thoroughly columns dealing with miners. Turns to second page and straight away reads readers'' letters which are headed ''''Too Old at 47''''. This takes half a minute. Spends the next half minute glancing through ''Spotlight'' by A. J. Cummings - this article headed ''''No Iron Dukes Now''''. Reads no more. Does not even glance at pages 2 and3.And in Readers Tested:A 34-year-old Essex office-manager at the end of the day (Wednesday, July 16th, 1947) could recall, at the end of the day, reading the following:''I glanced at the front page of today''s Daily Mail when I came downstairs and saw it on the hall table. I read the News Chronicle at breakfast between 8.30 and 8.45, and again at lunch between 1.30 and 1.55. I can''t remember a word I read in the Daily Mail but in the chronicle there was: the libel action brought by E. Arnot Roberson. Arthur Deakin speaking on the direction of labour. The Queen had got something in her eye. A leader on newsprint. A leader on Strachey''s jam announcement. A small cartoon ''''How did you know I''d been abroad?'''' Bevin saying the people of all nations wanted to agree. The ''''American Ranger'''' salvage case. Meat ration announcement. The name of the cricketer who was to be substitute in the English team for the man who was ill.Observation, analysis and commentary: the minutiae of everyday life recorded - this is vintage Mass Observation
