Originally, Norwood was a venue for days out at tea gardens & it was the site of Beulah Spa. By 1854, the re-erected Crystal Palace of Joseph Paxton towered over the Norwood area, making it fashionable, & large houses adorned the attractive upper slopes, whose residents were in their turn served by those who lived in the smaller houses further down. Yet by the 1930s Norwood was a place of unlet houses, its heyday gone. Norwood now provides a welcome respite for commuting Londoners. ...

The contrasting suburbs of West, Upper, & South Norwood grew up during the nineteenth century, on the range of hills once covered by the Great North Wood. West Norwood was intended to be smart & exclusive, but that ambition was achieved instead by Upper Norwood, which enjoyed the highest ground, the freshest air & the best views. South Norwood, which developed after the arrival of the railway in 1839, was more industrial & commercial than its older sisters. All three were at their peak of prosperity late in the nineteenth century. The 200 photographs presented here for the first time, each with a detailed caption, show the district in the early twentieth century, . A selection of contemporary maps helps to set the scene, & the book features a detailed index. ...

The small Tuscan town of Castelluccio is preparing for its annual festival, a spectacular pageant in which a leading role will be taken by the self-exiled English painter Gideon Westfall. A man proudly out of step with modernity, Westfall is regarded by some as a maestro, but in Castelluccio
- as in the wider art world
- he has his enemies, & his niece
- just arrived from England
- is no great admirer either. & a local girl is missing, a disappearance that seems to implicate the artist. But the life & art of Gideon Westfall form just one strand of Nostalgia, a novel that teems with incidents & characters, from religious visionaries to folk heroes. Constantly shifting between the panoramic & the intimate, between the past & the present, Nostalgia is a fiction into which are woven the kaleidoscopic narratives of art, architecture, history, legend & much more.

More than two decades have passed since Peter Esterhazy ended his book ” Helping Verbs of the Heart” with the sentence, `I will write about all that in more detail later`. In this luminous novel, he finally makes the meaning of this literary mystery clear. ” Not Art” is the story of a mother whose defining communication with the world is in the language of football, a vocabulary that eclipses not only her son, but everything else. Football, in the author`s next to the last book a stage & a medium for private historiography, now acts as a filter through which the world is seen, & is the root of his relationship to his mother & his mother tongue: a mother`s language complex. Readers will discover `family stories`, subtly written & rounded, filled with irony, beauty, history, the Magnificent Magyars, father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, mother, life & death. There is emotion-platonic love, marital love, & a son`s love for his parents. & there is the Esterhazyesque auto-reflexive textual world (Where does the author begin & end?). Old world glamour meets fractured post-war reality in a tale that touches on many aspects of life & philosophy relevant to us today
- while centering on a son`s relationship to his mother & the game of football that they love. The author received the following international awards: Vilenica Prize, Slovenia (1988, 1998) Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, France (1992, 1994, 2003) Prize of the Literary Festival in Rome, Italy (1993) Bjornson Prize, Norway (1995) Austrian State Prize, Austria (1999) Herder Prize, Austria (2002) Peace Prize of the German Book Trade at Frankfurt Book Fair (2004). He has also received nearly 20 awards in his native country.
