What Is That White Stuff?

MY REGENCY WALK, LONDON THIS SUMMER AND GENTLEMAN PIRATE

8 to 14 August 2009 I was on holiday in London.

was not the first time in the past but I never stopped to walk with the eye "regency" , not having yet read Georgette Heyer and not knowing all the historical romance genre, of which this writer was the main inspiration.

So on my recent trip I went back to look at places I had already known, having fun to imagine how they could appear in the first decades of the 800, also taking inspiration from the prints and paintings that can be found wandering for the web.

Here then are some of my pictures from London streets we encounter frequently in the pages of novels regency setting.

HATCHARDS , the oldest bookshop in London, has existed since 1797.

E 'is the only library among all those that I attended, when I noticed a section devoted to erotic romances are published by publishing houses specializing in America. The shelves are a bit 'hidden under an arch between two departments, but the fact that in the famous library and haughty Piccadilly Street there are those publications bold made me smile.

Jermyn Street is the street located in the upscale neighborhood of ST. JAMES'S , in which there are antique shops exclusive gentlemen, the famous Cavendish Hotel, where I stayed in the past, the luxury emporium of gourmet and specialty Fortnum & Mason , with adjoining restaurant and tea room in which the label required to come up with a dress code.

course could not miss the BURLINGTON ARCADE and PICCADILLY to ST. JAMES'S STREET short step and obligations.

The famous gentlemen's clubs, now used for other purposes, such as WHITE'S and the Boodle'S.

After a detour into superextralussuosa OLD BOND STREET, I looked out again in Piccadilly, to peek at the building housing the bachelors of the day: THE ALBANY. built around 1770 by Viscount Melbourne, was transformed in 1802 into a residence with 69 apartments and among its famous residents there were Lord Byron and, more recently, the same Georgette Heyer.

course, being street, I have repeatedly refugee my tired limbs in the superstore of books that looks out from a side on Piccadilly Street and the other on Jermyn Street, or WATERSTONE'S , a place that I highly recommend visiting. How, moreover, other libraries in London, most of which are located in Charing Cross Road. But I'm going off topic.

E 'for end, a regency romance reader, to enter HYDE PARK, pass the Rotten Row and watch the boats on SERPENTINE .

say that it is far less poetic than we imagine. Hordes of pigeons, fed by many tourists and hordes of varied humanity, who basks in the deck chairs on the pedals or it is ridiculous style Coast.

The others, those of the place, rushing on their mountain bikes along the bike path or jog sweating like animals. Be careful to put your feet in the right place or you will be hit by a cyclist for the furious improvident invasion of the track!

Okay, we're not looking at the nit ...

The experience is always wonderful, so go to London and tornateci, if you can! I account to do so, as always.

("For the love of a pirate" - 2006) by EDITH LAYTON

Bed (purtroppo. ..) in reducing published by Mondadori No Novels 859 - April 2009 - Liliana Schwammenthal Trad.

Warning: spoilers.

The official blog de Novels Mondadori readers leave comments on the covers, very bad, made-up this series from newsstands. Leaving aside, however, to discuss and complain about a problem far more sensational: some horrendous and rambling translations who rape the original work of good writers of romance novels as Edith Layton. died recently, this sophisticated and precise regency author did not deserve that Mondadori gave to the press FOR THE LOVE OF A PIRATE so so sloppy (perhaps the name of the translator illuminates us on his meager opportunity to make a decent Italian translation ...).

The novel is a delicate, ironic, elegant, but will lose the rhythm because dell'incespicare constant between "you" and "you" that appear without a logical thread in the same period, crippled the meaning and 'essence of the relationship between the two protagonists. We can not tolerate these carelessness! It 'an insult to the intelligence of the reader. And this is just an example of what irritated me more and more, while I was trying to proceed with the pages.

The hero of the story is Lord Constantine Wylde passing, against his will, to a regular life and sober and staid gentleman rod, the discovery of being the grandson of a pirate and the son of a street robber died in the first, awkward attempt to make the booty to keep his wife and infant in swaddling clothes. This revelation is made by the captain's traumatic Bigod, an elderly man, but handsome, which has been enriched by trading on the seas and who shows up at the house of Constantine ordered him to live up to the promise made by his father. The parent of reckless Costy (so they call their closest friends) had pledged to marry him, once adult, the daughter of Jeremy Bigod, his companion in adventure and now that Jeremy is dead and buried for years, His father claims the ancient promise in behalf of the girl.

Captain upsets, frightens and intrigues the poor Constantine, which, among other things, has just become engaged to the icy and blameless Miss Winchester and convinces him to visit the places where these incredible events have been held. It 's so that Lord Wylde is catapulted into the wild and picturesque Cornwall, a land of smugglers and a landing time of plundering pirates, where a picturesque people are ready to welcome him as a hero as heir, physically very similar, the great adventurer "Captain Smart, ruthless enemies, but generous with his people. The fact is that, while his great-grandfather was a similar character, his grandfather was a severe man, who had never forgiven the antics of the father of Constantine, and had driven home, the underdog. Constantine did not remember anything and was reared by an uncle pastor that he was unable to express any extrovert side of his personality.

The icing on the cake is the object of contention: the lovely and irrepressible Lisabeth Bigod. The education of the girl was the opposite of that of Constantine: the free and uninhibited, totally free of the ties that govern the conventions of polite society in London.

difficult to resume the command of Constantine himself. In fact, from here on, his feelings and his behavior is erratic and confused. Neither meat nor fish, no longer wrapped, though always charming gentleman of the first, nor the bold pirate had ignited the fantasies of Lisabeth when as a child dreamed of in front of portraits of the great-grandfather and the father of the unaware Constantine. But the spark to occur between the two equally, at least from the physical point of view. Lisabeth includes love this Lord Wylde soon as it is, as he struggles to become aware of himself again and takes a little 'more than you have to decide what he wants to do when you grow. It also makes it a bit 'ridiculous, here and there, maybe a bit' too much. But so are the plots of classic novels regency: sugar, comic situations and gradually towards a happy ending.

****

are strongly advised to avoid this unhappy Italian translation.

pity for the poor job proofreading translated into Italian, which is typeset with errors assemblies and a bit 'ruffled. In some places, at first, it is hard to understand his train of thought.

But the novel is enjoyable and its mainly because, having been written twenty years ago, brings us back to a more rustic style of the genus to which it belongs, in which the libertines are impetuous womanizer with a heart of gold and the mature I lose my mind for young girls very stubborn and often in danger because of the bad guy ready to snatch them.

As I have already had occasion to state for the first episode of the saga Malory, atmospheres "woodiwissiane" hover in the interweaving and tone used by Johanna Lindsey, but it also makes extensive use of irony and sparkling dialogue. The result is a hilarious comedy the whole rhythm and bickering that is read with pleasure.

My grandfather advised her to marry a rake, believing that a man already full of experiences, and redeems himself when he falls in love at last for the first time in life is to always remain faithful to the woman he has chosen. Not Roslynn , agrees with this theory, but fate, circumstances and the seductive insistence of Anthony Malory, in which he runs in London at a reception, led her to marry him right.

Roslynn is Anthony beautiful and feels attracted to her as it had never happened in many years of constant exercise of his amatory skills. The lively and strong character of the girl and prods an irresistible challenge rogue like Anthony, who soon will taste the taste of bittersweet romantic mishaps. Roslynn will test the patience and tactics of our hero, showing that the intuition of her Scottish grandfather had come to the right.
