Historical

(41 items, 1 shopping guides)

I recently finished reading this. If you like Historical Romances, I'd definitely recommend it. The author has a Scottish background and visits Scotland every year. She writes what she knows and turns it into a tantalizing tale. I enjoyed this book from start to finish.

Leni Riefenstahl. Africa

1 recommendation

"I'd picked up "The Last of the Nuba", a heavy volume of Leni Riefenstahl's photographs Nubian, Dinka, Shilluk, and Masai while in art school. Each image was so beautiful, powerful, and overwhelming that I could only study one image during each sitting. Before "The Last of the Nuba" I found it impossible to find any books which presented photographs of African customs, environment, and adornment wh..."

"To quote the friend who lent me this book: "Give it 75 pages or so..." And I would completely agree. The story starts off slow and you really start to wonder where it could possibly go and why in heaven you would continue to read for 600 pages. Seriously, who can't tell a story in less than 600 pages? But then it turns and all of a sudden you're completely entranced. I don't remember when it h..."

"I have read almost all of Philippa Gregory's historical fiction novels and have 110% loved every single one of them. I wish I had thought to read them in chronological order to save myself a bit of confusion over the timing and intricacies of Tudor England but I have now developed a slight obsession with the era and will read just about anything this woman writes. In case you'd like to read them i..."

"Bought this book by chance the day after my wedding before leaving for our honeymoon, largely because my maiden name is Stone and the title caught my eye as I was starting to grieve my previous name :-). It turned out to be a wonderful random pick- could be considered hokey that all the stories weave together but I find it a beautiful notion, that there are things connecting every one of us to ..."

The Lion in Winter

1 recommendation

"A stunning period piece, about the original odd couple, King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. These two go at each other like Bogie and Bacall, but with tarnished love rather than seething lust as the undercurrent. A beautiful movie and a stunning screenplay. Katherine Hepburn and Peter O'Toole are an army to be reckoned with."

Adamson House

1 recommendation

"Like a sample book sprung to three-dimensional and very colorful life, the Adamson House, a historic property on the beach in Malibu, California, demonstrates the wonders that can be worked with tile, specifically tile made by the Malibu Potteries (1926–1932). And every bit as rich as the tile work, and perfectly in keeping with the Spanish Colonial Revival style of the house, is the ironwork. A..."

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

"an interesting look at a great historical figure, this book uses 'diary' entries and narraration to illustrate the interesting world of the 1800's south. Little known to many humans, is the existance of vampires; luckily, Abraham Lincoln has his trusty axe and Martyr (a bunch of early matches) to keep his loved ones and friends safe. Great book, suspenseful, awesome read"
