Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before unification, Germany was a loose collection of variously sovereign principalities, nurtured on deep thought, fine music and hard rye bread. It was known across Europe for the plentiful supply of consorts to be found among its abundant royalty, but the language and culture was largely incomprehensible to those outside its lands. In the long eighteenth and nineteenth centuries- between the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648 and unification under Bismarck in 1871 - Germany became the land of philosophers, poets, writers and composers. This particularly German cultural movement was able to survive the avalanche of Napoleonic conquest and exploitation and its impact was gradually felt far beyond Germany's borders. In this book, Roderick Cavaliero provides a fascinating overview of Germany's cultural zenith in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He considers the work of Germany's own artistic exports - the literature of Goethe and Grimm, the music of Wagner, Schumann, Mendelssohn and Bach and the philosophy of Schiller and Kant - as well as the impact of Germany on foreign visitors from Coleridge to Thackeray and from Byron to Disraeli. Providing a comprehensive and highly-readable account of Germany's cultural life from Frederick the Great to Bismarck, 'Genius, Power and Magic' is fascinating reading for anyone interested in European history and cultural history.

Book excerpt: Leslie Edwards never expected to field the question-and-answer column "Dear Granny" in the Goosebury Gazette. Her Bible-based advice yields mixed responses, and the problems resulting are bigger than she'd ever imagined. In addition, to maintain the illusion of "Granny," she must keep her job hidden from the man who wants to know her best. More than anything, shy Blaine Cartell would like to pursue his neighbor Leslie, but the isolated nature of Goosebury, Vermont, extends to the personalities and practices of its citizens. A letter to "Dear Granny" for advice seems the most natural answer. After all, the wizened woman is all anyone talks about anymore. When tragedy strikes and the truth is revealed, can trust and romance be restored?

Book excerpt: By turns hilarious and alarming, American Mischief is an ambitious attempt to define the disorders of American culture. Originally published in 1970, the novel takes on sexual anarchy, political madness, the collapse of monogamy, and above all the high cost of extreme behavior. These aspects of American culture are richly illustrated by the novel's two protagonists: Professor Bernard Kovell, a supreme and comical narcissist who dotes on lofty analogies while performing very low acts, and Lenny Pincus, a young radical fishing for more trouble than he can handle.

A spectacular read.’ Christine McCarthy ‘Tremendous depth…akin to Tolstoy … the author has the story, the people, the world, entirely in hand.’ Warwick Adeney ‘A truly fine story and an enthralling read. Very much recommended!’ Regina Doman ‘Descriptive panache, engaging pace and memorable characters … clearly written by a musician, a kind of polyphonic saga, with the interweaving themes of war, history, suffering and the search for truth.’ Wanda Skowronska
