For nearly 60 years--from its uprising against British rule in the 1950s to the bloody civil war between Greek & Turkish Cypriots in the 1960s the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in the 1970s & the United Nations ongoing 30-year effort to reunite the isl&--the tiny Mediterranean nation of Cyprus has taken a disproportionate share of the international spotlight. & while it has been often in the news accurate & impartial information on the conflict has been nearly impossible to obtain. In The Cyprus Problem James Ker-Lindsay offers an incisive even-handed account of the conflict. Ker-Lindsay covers all aspects of the Cyprus problem placing it in historical context addressing the situation as it now stands & looking toward its possible resolution. The book begins with the origins of the Greek & Turkish Cypriot communities as well as the other indigenous communities on the island (Maronites Latin Armenians & Gypsies). Ker-Lindsay then examines the tensions that emerged between the Greek & Turkish Cypriots after independence in 1960 & the complex constitutional provisions & international treaties designed to safeguard the new state. He pays special attention to the Turkish invasion in 1974 & the subsequent efforts by the UN & the international community to reunite Cyprus. The books final two chapters address a host of pressing issues that divide the two Cypriot communities including key concerns over property refugee returns & the repatriation of settlers. Ker-Lindsay concludes by considering whether partition really is the best solution as many observers increasingly suggest. Written by a leading expert The Cyprus Problem brings much needed clarity & understanding to a conflict that has confounded observers & participants alike for decades. ...

Tonight When I make my sweeping bow at heavens gate One thing I shall still possess at any rate Unscathed something outlasting mortal flesh & that is.. . My panache. The first English translation of Cyrano de Bergerac in 1898 introduced the word panache into the English language. This single word summed up Rostands rejection of the social realism which dominated late nineteenth-century theatre. He wrote his heroic comedy unfashionably in verse & set it in the reign of Louis XIII & the Three Musketeers. Based on the life of a little known writer Rostands hero has become a figure of theatrical legend: Cyrano with the nose of a clown & the soul of a poet is by turns comic & sad as reckless in love as in war & never at a loss for words. Audiences immediately took him to their hearts & since the triumphant opening night in December 1897
- at the height of the Dreyfus Affair
- the play has never lost its appeal. The text is accompanied by notes & a full introduction which sets the play in its literary & historical context.
