Poetry was Louis de Bernieres` first literary love & Imagining Alexandria is his debut poetry collection. Here the author of the much-loved Captain Corelli`s Mandolin returns us to the vivid Mediterranean landscape of his fiction.

Not surprisingly, his own poems about the distant past, the erotic & the philosophical owe much to the influence of the great Alexandrian poet. Beautifully illustrated with line drawings by Donald Sammut, this is a collection rich in sensuality, nostalgia, & music. ...

Imagining the Arctic explores the culture & politics of polar exploration & the making of its heroes. Leading explorers, the celebrity figures of their day, went to great lengths to convince their contemporaries of the merits of polar voyages. Much of exploration was in fact theatre: a series of performances to capture public attention & persuade governments to finance ambitious proposals.

Elegantly written & richly illustrated, Imagining the Arctic offers original insights into our understanding of exploration & its pull on the public imagination. ...
