Cinnamon and gunpowder by eli brown6/26/2023 Apples, the fearsome giant who loves to knit Feng and Bai, martial arts masters sworn to defend their captain and Joshua, the deaf cabin boy who becomes the son Wedgwood never had.Ĭinnamon and Gunpowder is a swashbuckling epicure’s adventure simmered over a surprisingly touching love story-with a dash of the strangest, most delightful cookbook never written. As Wedgwood begins to sense a method to Mabbot’s madness, he must rely on the bizarre crewmembers he once feared: Mr. Hunted by a deadly privateer and plagued by a saboteur hidden on her ship, she pushes her crew past exhaustion in her search for the notorious Brass Fox. Soon he’s making tea-smoked eel and brewing pineapple-banana cider.īut Mabbot-who exerts a curious draw on the chef-is under siege. His first triumph at sea is actual bread, made from a sourdough starter that he leavens in a tin under his shirt throughout a roaring battle, as men are cutlassed all around him. To appease the red-haired captain, Wedgwood gets cracking with the meager supplies on board. He will be spared, she tells him, as long as he puts exquisite food in front of her every Sunday without fail. The year is 1819, and the renowned chef Owen Wedgwood has been kidnapped by the ruthless pirate Mad Hannah Mabbot. A gripping adventure, a seaborne romance, and a twist on the tale of Scheherazade-with the best food ever served aboard a pirate’s ship Miss pettigrew lives for a day book6/26/2023 So sure is Harry that divorce would devastate Pat that he resolves, out of love, to kill her himself. (Pierce Brosnan complicates the plot as Harry’s lothario of a single friend, Richard, who also sets his sights on Kay.) In fact, Married Life is much more about the enduring relationship between husband and wife than it is about the excitement between husband and girlfriend. So it’s no stretch to see how a romantic, lonely married man like Harry Allen (Chris Cooper, wonderfully subtle), missing enough emotional intimacy with his wife, Pat (Patricia Clarkson, Cooper’s perfect match), could fall in love with Kay’s compassion - or, indeed, how Kay’s heart would open to a gentle man who needs her so sincerely. (Ira Sachs, who made the outstanding 2005 indie Forty Shades of Blue, directed, and co-wrote the script with Oren Moverman.) Playing Kay, widowed by WWII and living in an unnamed suburb, McAdams is a particularly delightful vision after her two-year intermission from the screen following The Family Stone. Of the two, Married Life has more on its mind, manifest in the arch elegance of the plot, a looped chain of infidelities and loyalties meant to comment on the mysteries of marital bonds.

The Classical Style by Charles Rosen6/24/2023 His first book, The Classical Style, is a standard reference to the study of Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn. As a writer and critic, his range has been equally varied. As a pianist, his 60-year career has been notable for a vast spread of music that has taken in the core classical and romantic repertoires while also fruitfully engaging with Bach, early 20th-century French music, Martinu, Bartók, the second Viennese school, Boulez and Elliott Carter. In the years since, Rosen has built a career as both a front-rank concert pianist and a leading writer about music. But to begin with I wrote just to keep nonsense off my record sleeves." Eventually it led to many books and articles. Before he even offered me a drink he said he would publish whatever I'd like to write. People liked them and after a while a publisher took me to lunch. So I started writing the sleeve notes myself. "I had many thoughts about the piece," he says. Rosen says he wasn't entirely happy with the recording, but he was even more disappointed with the sleeve note, which described the nocturne as "staggering drunken with the odour of flowers". It included one of the late nocturnes, opus 62 no 1, written just a year before the end of Chopin's 10-year relationship with George Sand and three years before his death, aged 39, in 1849. T he pianist Charles Rosen released his first Chopin recording in 1960. Cecil beaton princess elizabeth6/24/2023 With the portraits, he said, he wanted to create a “little piece of theater.” In an interview before the coronation, Burnand said he knew that the portraits were aimed at a global audience, but that he wanted them to feel intimate, as if viewers were “having maybe a one-to-one conversation” with the king. Burnand’s thoughts as he approached this weekend’s commission via a New York Times story. Burnand was the official wedding photographer for the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding. He also took the formal photographs at the couple’s wedding in 2005. Below is his photo of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall used on their 2017 Christmas card. The images were shot by Hugo Burnand, who is no stranger to photographing the royal family. If wondering how it compares to the famous Cecil Beaton portrait of his mother’s coronation, here you have a look. His Majesty is wearing the Robe of Estate, the Imperial State Crown, and he is holding the Sovereign’s Orb and Sovereign’s Sceptre with Cross. The first image shows King Charles III in full regalia in the Throne Room at Buckingham Palace. Four official portraits from the Coronation were released today. |
