Bertie Wooster looks pretty stylish in his new Tyrolean hat - or so he thinks: others, notably Jeeves, disagree. But when Bertie embarks on an errand of mercy to Totleigh Towers, things get quickly out of control and he`s going to need all the help Jeeves can provide. There are good eggs present, such as Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Rev. "Stinker" Pinker. But also there is Sir Watkyn Bassett , enemy to everything the Woosters hold dear, to say nothing of his daughter Madeline and Roderick Spode, now raised to the peerage. And Major Brabazon Plank, the peppery explorer, who wants to lay Bertie out cold. Thank goodness for the intervention of Chief Inspector Witherspoon of Scotland Yard - but is this gentleman all he seems?

Setting up a still life may take no more than gathering a few objects on a table, but infusing its depiction with depth, texture, feeling, and even beauty takes great skill. The origins of the still life can be traced back at least to classical antiquity (such wall paintings have been found in the ruins of Pompeii) but the genre`s name wasn`t coined until the 17th century in Holland, a few centuries after it was re-popularized during the Renaissance. This book explores a stimulating selection of still lifes from the 15th century to the modern day, revealing the historical importance and creative possibilities of this genre.

With Stolen Air, Christian Wiman, editor of POETRY, America`s oldest and most prestigious magazine of verse, offers a new selection and translation of Mandelstam`s poetry - from his hard-edged and highly formal early poems to his almost savagely musical later works - for a new generation to be moved by, marvel at, and appreciate.
