Book Synopsis Fitzrovia, The Other Side of Oxford Street by : Dr Ann Basu
Download or read book Fitzrovia, The Other Side of Oxford Street written by Dr Ann Basu and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the other side of the story. Before the Second World War, Ann Basu's family of Jewish tailors lived where the BT Tower stands today. At that time of high migration, the women's fashion trade and the new car industry were sweeping into Fitzrovia, Russian and German anarchists argued in its clubs, Indian revolutionaries practised at the shooting range, and popular cafes such as Lyons' transformed the social lives of workers. The Jews of Fitzrovia and Soho saw each other as being on the 'other side' of Oxford Street, and this book reflects Fitzrovia's distinctive 'inbetween-ness' – at the inner edge of central London, but separate from the West End. Putting the spotlight on Fitzrovia's enterprising twentieth-century immigrant workers, this is the history of working-class and outsider voices that have previously been muted.

Book Synopsis Julian Maclaren-Ross by : Julian Maclaren-Ross
Download or read book Julian Maclaren-Ross written by Julian Maclaren-Ross and published by Dewi Lewis Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No writer has led as bizarre and eventful a life as the once celebrated Soho dandy Julian Maclaren Ross. In the course of 52 hectic years he endured homelessness, alcoholism, drug addiction and near insanity. The world of Maclaren-Ross's writing tends to be the dingy, down-at-heel world of smoked veiled bars, blacked-out streets and rented lodgings, and first-hand experience lends unmistakable literary logo. He is a truly important writer who can count Evelyn Waugh, Harold Pinter, Graham Greene and John Betjeman among his fans.

Everyone should read Saturday" —Financial Times Saturday, February 15, 2003. Henry Perowne, a successful neurosurgeon, stands at his bedroom window before dawn and watches a plane—ablaze with fire like a meteor—arcing across the London sky. Over the course of the following day, unease gathers about Perowne, as he moves among hundreds of thousands of anti-war protestors who’ve taken to the streets in the aftermath of 9/11. A minor car accident brings him into confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety, aggressive man, who to Perowne’s professional eye appears to be profoundly unwell. But it is not until Baxter makes a sudden appearance at the Perowne family home that Henry’s earlier fears seem about to be realized. . .
