This extensively revised and updated second edition of "The
Neoplatonists" provides an introduction to the thought of the four
central Neoplatonic philosophers, Plotinus, Porphyry, Proclus and
Iamblichus. John Gregory presents translations of a selection of
key passages from their writings together with concise explanatory
essays, commentary and notes. It also contains an introduction that
puts in context the Neoplatonist writings and an epilogue detailing
the legacy and influence of Neoplatonist thought.
If you're looking for a quick, tasty meal after work but feel like
you've lost your cooking mojo, or fancy hosting dinner but don't
know where to start, Fast Feasts is just the book for you. John
Gregory-Smith shares over 60 recipes that are big on taste yet
simple to whip up, all featuring his signature Middle Eastern
twist. Cooking should be fun, and sharing a meal with friends or
family is one of life's simple pleasures. In Fast Feasts, you'll
discover that the secret to effortless culinary magic is a few
punchy store-cupboard staples – a teaspoon of smoked paprika
here, a drizzle of tahini there, and suddenly your Tuesday night
traybake is transformed into a wicked meal. If you're tired of
toast, have a vibrant hummus bowl the next time you're working from
home. Or try John's insanely good lamb and halloumi burgers,
perfect for Friday night dinner with friends. John also includes
cheats on how to make simple meals sing, including ideas for
jazzed-up mayos, quick salad dressings and zingy spice mixes, as
well as menu plans that make entertaining a cinch. Fast Feasts is a
fresh and unintimidating take on Middle Eastern food, featuring
ingredients that can be found at your local store, and recipes that
are as easy to prepare as a meal subscription box. So, whether
you're after killer comfort food, a banging brunch or dinner in
front of the TV, look no further. Amazon #1 bestseller and featured
on This Morning and Sunday Brunch.
In 1967, John Gregory Dunne asked for unlimited access to the inner workings of Twentieth Century Fox. Miraculously, he got it. For one year Dunne went everywhere there was to go and talked to everyone worth talking to within the studio. He tracked every step of the creation of pictures like "Dr. Dolittle," "Planet of the Apes," and "The Boston Strangler." The result is a work of reportage that, thirty years later, may still be our most minutely observed and therefore most uproariously funny portrait of the motion picture business.
Whether he is recounting a showdown between Fox's studio head and two suave shark-like agents, watching a producer's girlfriend steal a silver plate from a restaurant, or shielding his eyes against the glare of a Hollywood premiere where the guests include a chimp in a white tie and tails, Dunne captures his subject in all its showmanship, savvy, vulgarity, and hype. Not since F. Scott Fitzgerald and Nathanael West has anyone done Hollywood better.
"Reads as racily as a novel...(Dunne) has a novelist's ear for speech and eye for revealing detail...Anyone who has tiptoed along those corridors of power is bound to say that Dunne's impressionism rings true."--Los Angeles Times
