Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Almustafa, the chosen and the beloved, who was a dawn unto his own
day, had waited twelve years in the city of Orphalese for his ship
that was to return and bear him back to the isle of his birth. And
in the twelfth year, on the seventh day of Ielool, the month of
reaping, he climbed the hill without the city walls and looked
seaward; and he beheld his ship coming with the mist. Then the
gates of his heart were flung open, and his joy flew far over the
sea. And he closed his eyes and prayed in the silences of his soul.
So begins The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran's transcendant verse cycle in
which the prophet Almustafa boards a ship bearing him homeward and
discusses with those whom he meets on board life, love, and and all
aspects of the human condition. Never out of print since its first
publication in 1923, Gibran's collection of prose poems is one of
the best-loved volumes in world literature.
With the customary wit, charm and invention, Alex Quick walks the
reader through 102 autumn activities, ranging from the simple to
the more challenging; the familiar to the exotic.
First published in 1920, How to Dine in Style opens a window onto
the golden age of elegant dining, where the basic function of
ingesting nourishment was elevated to a high social art, attended
by intricate details and elaborate ritual. Starched linens,
candles, white gloves, aperitifs, ball suppers, French menus and
garden-parties - this is the world of the decadent classes who came
to prominence in the post-war period. Published in an age where
achieving a reputation for throwing recherche dinner parties was a
route to international celebrity, this is a book about food as
performance art. In it we catch tantalizing glimpses of astonishing
excess such as the craze for eccentric venues for dinner parties,
including the roof of a Chicago home (for amateur mountaineers), a
lion's den, and a gondola in the Savoy. An engaging blend of
practical advice and a catalogue of eccentricity, this book
contains everything you need to know, from the fine art of
composing a menu to the practicalities of the correct order and
temperatures for serving wines.
