Evgenii V. Anisimov ; translated by Kathleen CarolPublication Details
Book, Praeger, 2004Links
Description
The ill-fated Anna Leopoldovna (1740-41), groomed for the throne by her namesake aunt, would be Regent for her young son only briefly before a coup by her aunt Elizabeth would condemn Anna’s family to a life of imprisonment, desolation, and death in obscurity. The beautiful and shrewd Elizabeth (1741-61) would seize her father Peter’s throne, but, obsessed with her own fading beauty, she would squander resources in a relentless effort to stay young and keep her rivals at bay.

Book, Royal Academy of Arts, 2004Description
Tamara de Lempicka’s distinctive painting style was as glamorous as her subject matter-the writers, aristocrats, artists, and entertainers of Paris in the age of Art Deco. This book, published to accompany an exhibition at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, concentrates on this extraordinary artist’s most productive and recognized period, between 1922 and 1935, during which time her brand of Synthetic Cubism brilliantly captured the atmosphere of wealth and decadence for which Paris had become famous.

Description
Stretching from the tributaries of the Danube to the Urals, and from the Russian forests to the Black and Caspian Seas, the vast European steppe has for centuries played very different roles in the Russian imagination. Taming the Wild Field eloquently expresses concern with the fate of the world?s great grasslands, and the book ends at the beginning of the twentieth century with the initiation of a conservation movement in Russia by those appalled at the high environmental cost of expansion.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) After publishing her first novel in 1977 at the age of sixty-one, Penelope Fitzgerald (1916-2000) went on to become one of the most remarkable and highly acclaimed English writers of the last century.
