 | Houses & Palaces of Andalucia by Caroline Phipps, Francesco Venturi, Patricia Espinosa De Los Montero
With riches from New World conquests pouring into Seville in the 16th to 18th centuries, the Spanish nobility of Andalucia built exquisite houses and palaces. This book chronicles the finest of these treasures, traces the development of a distinctive regional style of architecture and decoration -- the beautiful tiles, dramatic staircases and doorways, columns, and arches, and the cool exterior patios that are so integral to Spanish building. Many of these homes are miraculously preserved with their authentic interiors intact, and a fascinating text tells the stories of the families that built and lived in them.

 | Acting in Restoration Comedy by Maria Aitken, Simon Callow
ACTING IN RESTORATION COMEDY, the buoyant, bawdy romps which celebrated the reopening of the English theatres after Cromwell`s dour reign, is the subject of Callow`s bold investigation. There is cause again to celebrate as Callow, one of Britain`s foremost actors, aims to restore the form to all its original voluptuous vigor. Callow shows the way to attain clarity and hilarity in some of the most delightful roles ever conceived for the theatre. Callow`s lively speculations do not follow the familiar route of lace-trimmed interpretations and gratuitous pageantry. He rejects camp for camp`s sake, and embraces instead the magnificently perverse language as the primarily seductive force in Restoration Comedy. With the text as his inspiration, he shapes an actor`s sensibility, coaching his performance in the conventions of the age, including the politics and manners of props, the choreography of asides, the truth and burlesque of emotion, the flamboyant egotism of the age, the life of the costume, and the audience in performance.
