THE STREETS OF PARIS “The Streets of Paris”, a novelette, follows the lively adventures of Francöis Villon, France’s most famous poet, in the mid-fifteenth-century court of King Charles. Will he stay true to his principles or become a spoiled courtier? SHORT STORIES Included are fourteen additional short stories combining a mixture of adventure, romance, intrigue, humor, and a candid look at everyday life. A sampling of a few follow: If an intimate affair with one’s secretary begins to get a little stale—and expensive—follow the tactics in the “End of the Affair”. An even more expensive divorce could be in the works. . . . In “A Bachelor Gets Married”, find out what really happens behind closed doors when a tough, confirmed bachelor marries a shy and tender beauty. . . . “True Experiences of a Prohibition Agent” include a touch of humor and a bloody nose. . . . Becoming an entrepreneur by reading “My Successful Career as a Handwriting Expert” could lead to easy riches or maybe not. . . . Disputes with one’s spouse or in-laws constitute a big problem in many marriages, but the overwhelming nemesis is called the budget as illustrated in “Budget—The Nemesis of Every Marriage”.. . . In “A Cavalier’s Tale”, the hero decides that he wants no part of a happily-ever-after marriage with the king’s niece after rescuing her in a vicious sword fight. . . . “The Perfect Crime” and “The Mystery Woman of Endale” each have the ingredients of a murder mystery but lack a murderer. . . . “America—1932 Style” reminds us of the devastating effects of the Great Depression.

George Orwell's vivid memoir of his time living among the desperately poor and destitute, Down and Out in Paris and London is a moving tour of the underworld of society. Written when Orwell was a struggling writer in his twenties, it documents his 'first contact with poverty'. Here, he painstakingly documents a world of unrelenting drudgery and squalor – sleeping in bug-infested hostels and doss houses of last resort, working as a dishwasher in Paris's vile 'Hôtel X', surviving on scraps and cigarette butts, living alongside tramps, a star-gazing pavement artist and a starving Russian ex-army captain. Exposing a shocking, previously-hidden world to his readers, Orwell gave a human face to the statistics of poverty for the first time – and in doing so, found his voice as a writer.

In 1913 Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase exploded through the American art world. This is the story of how he followed the painting to New York two years later, enchanted the Arensberg salon, and—almost incidentally—changed art forever. In 1915, a group of French artists fled war-torn Europe for New York. In the few months between their arrival—and America’s entry into the war in April 1917—they pushed back the boundaries of the possible, in both life and art. The vortex of this transformation was the apartment at 33 West 67th Street, owned by Walter and Louise Arensberg, where artists and poets met nightly to talk, eat, drink, discuss each others’ work, play chess, plan balls, organise magazines and exhibitions, and fall in and out of love. At the center of all this activity stood the mysterious figure of Marcel Duchamp, always approachable, always unreadable. His exhibit of a urinal, which he called Fountain, briefly shocked the New York art world before falling, like its perpetrator, into obscurity. Many people (of both sexes) were in love with Duchamp. Henri-Pierre Roché and Beatrice Wood were among them; they were also, briefly, and (for her) life-changingly, in love with each other. Both kept daily diaries, which give an intimate picture of the events of those years. Or rather two pictures—for the views they offer, including of their own love affair, are stunningly divergent. Spellbound by Marcel follows Duchamp, Roché, and Beatrice as they traverse the twentieth century. Roché became the author of Jules and Jim, made into a classic film by François Truffaut. Beatrice became a celebrated ceramicist. Duchamp fell into chess-playing obscurity until, decades later, he became famous for a second time—as Fountain was elected the twentieth century’s most influential artwork.
