A fiercely honest and unvarnished autobiography from Ireland's most successful and controversial living artist. Making his name as a Pop artist in the late 1960s and 70s, Robert Ballagh quickly achieved an international reputation. With little formal artistic training, he triumphed in his field despite often formidable hostility. His work was also strikingly topical and political, playing with classic images by Goya or Delacroix to express outrage about the situation in Northern Ireland. But it is his series of realistic portraits of writers, politicians and fellow artists – often searingly inquisitive and moving in equal measure – that have won him lasting fame. His subjects include Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, Samuel Beckett, James Watson, Francis Crick, Harold Pinter and Fidel Castro. And his remarkable self-portraits unsparingly document the process of his own ageing. This memoir is also a story of Ireland over the past sixty years, its violence, hypocrisy and immobility as well as its creativity and generosity.

A small boy was only eighteen months old when he became lost after being taken to the African jungle by his parents. They were members of the British Wildlife Preservation Society and thought him too young to be left at home at such a juvenile age. Being an adventurous little boy even then, he always wandered off by himself if given the opportunity to do so. That habit was to remain with him throughout his lifetime, and it was because of his adventurous manner that he fell into a crocodile-infested river, all but losing his life. The little boy was to have a young life like no other human infant ever could have and would use his human brain to his advantage without even realizing it. Being lost in a hot hostile jungle at such a young age, it was thought very doubtful if he could ever survive, but the question is . . . did he?

Newly translated into English, "The Devil's Pool" is the most popular of George Sand's novellas and her best-selling work in France today. Illustrating Sand's brevity, liveliness, and exemplary storytelling, the tale deals with many of her characteristic themes—the relations between the sexes, the plight of the underprivileged, and the role of fantasy in human life—making it an ideal introduction to her work. Also included are translations of two of Sand's most admired short stories, "Lavinia" and "The Unknown God," as well as various relevant essays and documents.

From Gettysburg to Richmond, Cornelia Hancock served in makeshift hospitals and even on the battlefield. She was called "The Florence Nightingale of America". Originally published in 1937 as SOUTH AFTER GETTYSBURG, her letters to family members are witty, unsentimental, and full of indignation about the neglect of wounded soldiers and black refugees. 6 photos.
