Photographic illustrated softcover binding. the book is second-hand, but there are no defects." "In the first volume of the sequence of six, we are introduced to young Ira Stigman and his dazzlingly invoked immigrant world of New York's Jewish Harlem. It is 1914 and use of the outbreak of war is the first of many events to impinge on Ira's life and that of his extended family. Here is a boy struggling with the racism of his peers, with the horrifying emergence of sexuality, with his raging and unpredictable father, and with the world outside -- work, camaraderie, Prohibition, the expectations of manhood. Ira's rights of passage are a reflection of those of the young country his parents have chosen for a home." Size: Trade Paperback. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1.

New York: Simon & Schuster, 2005. xv, 414 pages, illustrations, portraits; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket with light shelfwear. "In the Sin City of London in the late eighteenth century, partying, whoring and gambling were endemic. Money ruled and anything went - for men. Women, in contrast, had everything to lose, starting with their reputations. Even so, not every woman was cowed by convention. Some, like beautiful Grace Dalrymple Elliott, brazenly did whatever they wished with whomever they pleased - and flourished brilliantly as a result. My Lady Scandalous recreates the life and fast times of one of the era's most colourful characters, who went from Edinburgh schoolgirl to Europe's most sought-after courtesan. Men competed for her favours even as her society doctor husband pursued a divorce. Grace became mistress to England's notorious Lord Cholmondeley and gave birth to a daughter, Georgiana (who may in fact have been the child of the Prince of Wales). Grace's liaison with France's richest man, Phillippe, Duc d'Orleans, proved perilous as d'Orleans fell to the Revolution's guillotine, just as Grace escaped with her life. details of Grace's life, from the journal published posthumously, with excerpts from contemporary newspapers, magazines, prints and portraits. My Lady Scandalous is a captivating portrait of this darling of kings and princes, an irresistibly unconventional woman whose story cannot fail to fascinate." - Publisher. . 1st. Hardcover.
