A harsh little war, much romanticized, much misunderstood. A ragtag flotsam in boots fight for their lives, spilling their blood against a fascist military machine. Franco struts, Mussolini boasts, Hitler and Stalin hover in the wings. The world will never be the same. ---- On the American side of the Atlantic, young men and women prepare to give their lives for a foreign cause, a "good war." At the same time, American business and religious interests collude on the side of Franco, while the U.S. government plays a game of "neutrality." ---- At the heart of this brilliant, shocking novel is a young American war correspondent, festooned with cameras. She's in love with one man and, as bullets fly, befriended by another. Mary Byrnes, Nick Cordon, Liam Casey-they are comrades sharing a passage through the fires of war. Witness to battered cities and fallen heroes, they know the tragedy and glory of death for a cause: the landscape of war. The lovers whisper secrets as bombs fall, walls crumble, men and women die. All the wealth of Spain-nine hundred million in gold-is stored in the caves of Carte gena, but it is rumored that the loot is bound for Russia in ships. ---- Mary's lightning camera records it all as the war screams to a halt amid cries of "Long live the revolution!" and in a stunning climax, this explosive novel ends. ----- Not since Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls has a novel so captured the firsthand, passionate sense of what it was like to be there in the midst of Spain's chaotic battle for existence." ------ Very good condition hardcover... ... ..

Stupakoff, Otto: RioErotico, Harper Collins USA, März 2006 ISBN: 0060594659
This collection of vibrant new photographs is a testament to the eroticism of photographer Otto Stupakoff's native country, Brazil. A blend of cultures -- African, European, and Latino -- Stupakoff's Brazil is a land of tight, tanned flesh, vivid tropical flowers, dripping fruits, and, most of all, the youthful, relaxed sexuality of the people. <P> By capturing his subjects in moments of joyful sexual abandon, Stupakoff's photos strike a refreshing balance between the erotic and the playful. A former fashion photographer for magazines such as Vogue and Elle, Stupakoff takes an unstudied, almost voyeuristic approach to his subjects here. He incorporates both the posed and the unposed: in one frame, a beautiful girl on a train stares intently at the camera, while in another a man and a woman share a wild and naked embrace atop a rocky landscape. The result is a collection of images with the lush detail of a fashion layout, the intimacy of a Nan Goldin portrait, and the impression of everyday people photographed with journalistic verve. <P> Complete with poetry taken from Brazilian literature and popular culture, this visual narrative perfectly captures the spirit and allure of Rio -- the women, the men, the sexuality, the joy, and the beauty. It is more than just a book of photographs -- it is a love letter to Brazil.<
