Now reissued, "A Kitchen in Corfu" is an account of traditional life on a beautiful island, where produce grows abundantly - wild herbs, nuts and greenery in the hills; fish and shellfish in the sea; olive groves, grapevines and orchards. In Corfu, culinary influences from all over the Mediterranean have been absorbed and adapted to create a style of cooking unique in the world. This book presents a collection of 80 recipes, together with descriptions of people and places. The author details the customs surrounding the growing and preparation of food, and describes the daily round of friends and neighbours, capturing the authentic flavour of an hospitable and lively rural community.

The Cambridge Companion to Emily Dickinson

Cambridge University Press

The Cambridge Introduction to Emily Dickinson (Cambridge Introductions to Literature)

Emily Dickinson is best known as an intensely private, even reclusive writer. Yet the way she has been mythologised has meant her work is often misunderstood. This introduction delves behind the myth to present a poet who was deeply engaged with the issues of her day. In a lucid and elegant style, the book places her life and work in the historical context of the Civil War, the suffrage movement, and the rapid industrialisation of the United States. Wendy Martin explores the ways in which Dickinson's personal struggles with romantic love, religious faith, friendship and community shape her poetry. The complex publication history of her works, as well as their reception, is teased out, and a guide to further reading is included. Dickinson emerges not only as one of America's finest poets, but also as a fiercely independent intellect and an original talent writing poetry far ahead of her time.

Castle Swimmer: Volume 1

In the gorgeous first installment of the hit Webtoon series Castle Swimmer, two young mermen reject their destinies and embark on an epic adventure full of romance and danger, featuring exclusive bonus material. "Castle Swimmer hooks you from the start and doesn't let go. It's devastatingly charming with a hint of sweetly heartbreaking."--Katie Cook, author of Nothing Special From the moment Kappa tumbles into existence on the ocean floor, his life's purpose is already decided for him: He is the Beacon, a light to all sea creatures, and destined to fulfill their many prophesies. In high demand and under immense pressure, Kappa quickly realizes that fame and glory are small compensation for a life of predetermined self-sacrifice. Unable to resist the call of destiny due to a magical yellow cord that appears from his chest and pulls him inexorably to any sea creatures he swims by, Kappa ultimately finds himself drawn to the Shark kingdom, where he is immediately imprisoned. The Sharks' prophecy states that the curse maiming their people will only be lifted once their prince, Siren, kills the Beacon. But when Prince Siren decides to defy fate and help Kappa escape, Kappa realizes that there might be more to life than fulfilling endless prophesies, leading to a raucous adventure as big and unpredictable as the ocean itself--and a romance that nobody could have predicted. Episodes 1-19 of Webtoon's Castle Swimmer Season 1 is collected in this stunning graphic novel, which also includes a never-before-seen bonus chapter featuring Kappa and Siren.
