Eden Renewed
by Peter Levi
Here in Eden Renewed, the renowned poet and biographer of Edward Lear and Alfred Tennyson, Oxford University professor Peter Levi, presents readers with an extraordinary portrait of John Milton (1608-1674). In this compelling and detailed work, Levi traces Milton's life from the young man who wrote the lyrical poem Lycidas, to his political writings and pamphlets, to the vision of the blind old man, composing Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. In doing so, Levi gives us a full picture of the great poet that shows his roots in Shakespearean England and his growth through the Revolution, Civil War, and the Restoration. Eden Renewed includes valuable new translations of Milton's Latin verse, as well as all new interpretations of his most important prose works.
Thanks for the Memories, Mr. President
by Baine Kerr
In a natural follow-up to her national bestseller Front Row at the White House, the dean of the White House press corps presents a vivid and personal chronicle of the American presidency. Currently a columnist for Hearst and a former White House bureau chief for UPI, Helen Thomas has covered an astounding nine presidential administrations -- from Kennedy through George W. Bush -- endearing herself with her trademark "Thank you, Mr. President" at the conclusion of White House press conferences. Here, in a riveting chapter for each administration she has covered, Thomas delights, informs, spins yarns, and offers opinions on the commanders in chief and their families. She tells about Kennedy's love of sparring with the press, the memorable invitation LBJ extended to Hubert Humphrey to become his running mate, and Reagan's down-home ways of avoiding the press's tougher questions. As entertaining and compelling as Helen Thomas herself, Thanks for the Memories, Mr. President is a unique glimpse into presidential history.
