As managing director of the London Underground in the 1920s & the first chief executive of London Transport, Frank Pick (1878-1941), had more influence on the look of twentieth century London than any other individual. Frank Pick`s London offers a unique overview of Pick`s passionate belief in the social & civic value of applied art & design & its impact on London. Frank Pick`s London explores an extraordinary contribution to the everyday experience of modern London. Pick commissioned now familiar publicity posters from the likes of Paul Nash, Edward Bawden, Graham Sutherland & Edward Mc Knight Kauffer, iconic upholstery fabrics by Marion Dorn & architecture by Charles Holden for the extension of the Piccadilly line.

A selection of witty & provocative essays from the father of New Journalism, Gay Talese`s Frank Sinatra Has a Cold & Other Essays is published in Penguin Modern Classics. Gay Talese is the father of American New Journalism, who transformed traditional reportage with his vivid scene-setting, sharp observation & rich storytelling. His 1966 piece for Esquire, one of the most celebrated magazine articles ever published, describes a morose Frank Sinatra silently nursing a glass of bourbon, struck down with a cold & unable to sing, like ` Picasso without paint, Ferrari without fuel
- only worse`. The other writings in this selection include a description of a meeting between two legends, Fidel Castro & Muhammad Ali; a brilliantly witty dissection of the offices of Vogue magazine; an account of travelling to Ireland with hellraising actor Peter O` Toole; & a profile of fading baseball star Joe Di Maggio, which turns into a moving, immaculately-crafted meditation on celebrity. Gay Talese (b. 1932) is an American author. He wrote for The New York Times in the early 1960s & helped to define literary journalism or `new nonfiction reportage`, also known as New Journalism. His most famous articles are about Joe Di Maggio, Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra. He lives in New York with his wife, Nan Talese. If you enjoyed Frank Sinatra has a Cold, you might like George Orwell`s Essays, also published in Penguin Modern Classics.` The best American prose of the second half of the twentieth century` Atlantic Monthly` The best non-fiction writer in America` Mario Puzo, author of The Godfather`A masterful New Journalism pioneer.. . raises the magazine article to the level of an art form` Los Angeles Times

Victor Frankenstein`s story is one of ambition, murder & revenge. As a young scientist he pushed moral boundaries in order to cross the final frontier & create life. But his creation is a monster stitched together from grave-robbed body parts who has no place in the world, & his life can only lead to tragedy.

Since it was first published in 1818, Mary Shelley's seminal novel has generated countless print, stage & screen adaptations, but none has ever matched the power & philosophical resonance of the original. Composed as part of a challenge with Byron & Shelley to conjure up the most terrifying ghost story, Frankenstein narrates the chilling tale of a being created by a bright young scientist & the catastrophic consequences that ensue. Considered by many to be the first science-fiction novel, the tragic tale of Victor Frankenstein & the tortured creation he rejects is a classic fable about the pursuit of knowledge, the nature of beauty & the monstrosity inherent to man. ...
