` It`s only after our death that we shall really be able to hear`. The measured tone of hopeless nihilism that pervades ” The Counterfeiters” quickly shatters any image of Andre Gide as the querulous & impious Buddha to a quarter-century of intellectuals. In sharp & brilliant prose a seedy, cynical & gratuitously alarming narrative is developed, involving a wide range of otherwise harmless & mainly middle-to-upper-class Parisians. But the setting could be anywhere. From puberty through adolescence to death, ” The Counterfeiters” is a rare encyclopedia of human disorder, weakness & despair. ...

Spanning the architectural history of the country house from the disarming Elizabethan charm of South Wraxall, the classical rigour of Kinross in Scotl&, the majesty & ingenuity of Hawksmoor`s Easton Neston, the Palladian sweep of Wentworth Woodhouse, with over 300 rooms & frontage of 600 feet, the imperial exuberance of Clandeboye, through to the ebullient vitality of Lutyens` Marshcourt, the stories of these houses tell the story of our nation. All are the are buildings of the greatest architectural interest, each with a fascinating human story to tell, & all remain private homes that are closed to the public. But their owners have opened their doors & allowed Dan Cruickshank to roam the corridors & rummage in the cellars as he teases out the story of each house
- who built them, the generations who lived in them, & the families who lost them. Along the way he has uncovered tales of excess & profligacy, tragedy, comedy, power & ambition. & as these intriguing narratives take shape, Dan shows how the story of each house is inseparable from the social & economic history of Britain. Each one is built as a wave of economic development crests, or crumbles. Each one`s architecture & design is thus expressive of the aims, strengths & frailties of those who built them. Together they plot the psychological, economic & social route map of our country`s ruling class in a rich new telling of our island story.

Brazil has done much to shape football, but how has football shaped Brazil? Despite the political & social importance of the beautiful game to the country, the subject has hitherto received little attention. This book presents groundbreaking work by historians & researchers from Brazil, the United States, Britain & France, who examine the political significance, in the broadest sense, of the sport in which Brazil has long been a world leader. The authors consider questions such as the relationship between football, the workplace & working class culture; the formation of Brazilian national identity; race relations; political & social movements; & the impact of the sport on social mobility.
