Gemini
Author: Dorothy Dunnett
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307762335
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1123
Book Description
Scotland, 1477: Nicholas de Fleury, former banker and merchant, has re-appeared in the land that, four years earlier, he had brought very close to ruin in the course of an intense commercial and personal war with secret enemies—and, indeed, with his clever wife Gelis. Now the opportunity for redemption is at hand, but Nicholas soon finds himself pursuing his objectives amid a complex, corrosive power struggle centering on the Scottish royal family but closely involving the powerful merchants of Edinburgh, the gentry, the clergy, the English (ever seeking an excuse to pounce on their neighbor to the north), the French, the Burgundians. His presence soon draws Gelis and their son Jodi to Scotland, as well as Nicholas's companions and subordinates in many a past endeavor—Dr. Tobias and his wife Clémence, Mick Crackbene, John le Grant, and Andro Wodman among them. Here, too, Nicholas meets again with others who have had an influence, for good or evil, in his life: King James III of Scotland and his rebellious siblings; the St. Pols: Jordan, Simon, and young Henry; Mistress Bel of Cuthilgurdy and David de Salmeton; Anselm Adorne and Kathi his niece. Caught up in, and sometimes molding, the course of great events, Nicholas exhibits by turns the fierce silence with which he masks his secrets, and the explosive, willful gaiety that binds men, women, and children to him. And as the secrets of his birth and heritage come to light, Nicholas has to decide whether he desires to establish a future in Scotland for himself and his family, and a home for his descendants. Gemini brings to a dazzling conclusion Dorothy Dunnett's House of Niccolò series (synopsized in this volume), in which this peerless novelist has vividly re-created the dramatic, flamboyant world of the early Renaissance in historical writing of scrupulous authenticity and in the entrancing portrait of her visionary hero. Now, in a book infused with wit and poetry, emotion and humor, action and mystery, she brings Nicholas de Fleury at last to choose his heart's home, where he can exercise all his skills as an advisor to kings and statesmen, as a husband, a father, and a leader of men—and where, perhaps, we will discern a connection between him and that other remarkable personality, Francis Crawford, whose exploits Lady Dunnett recorded so memorably in The Lymond Chronicles.

Love at the Five and Dime
Author: Brian T. Atkinson
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1648432395
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
Nanci Griffith (1953–2021) remains, despite her untimely death, a “living, breathing, ever-present entity and inspiration.” According to author Brian T. Atkinson, reflections on Griffith’s omnipresent influence often cause people to shift “from past tense to present tense in mid-sentence.” She remains one of the most well-loved of Texas’ singer-songwriters with hits still popular today, such as “Gulf Coast Highway,” “Trouble in the Fields,” and “Love at the Five and Dime.” Atkinson has interviewed a host of songwriters and other artists from across the spectrum: from Lyle Lovett, Steve Earle, and Robert Earl Keen to Counting Crows’ Adam Duritz, “American Pie” songwriter Don McLean, and the London Symphony Orchestra’s Tom Norris. Gathering the recollections of those who performed with, listened to, and were impacted by the artistry of Nanci Griffith, Atkinson balances these with his own comments and reflections on Griffith’s legacy—including the demons she wrestled with that ultimately overcame her. Love at the Five and Dime: The Songwriting Legacy of Nanci Griffith promises to be, as one reviewer has described it, “an indispensable source for anyone wanting to learn more about all things Nanci.” This book adds deep value to our understanding of the life and work of a vital Texas artist.
