The Sun King's Greatest Foe
Prince Eugen of Savoy was of an Italian/French background (his mother Olympia was related to Cardinal Mazarin) and raised in and around the court of that great French expansionist, Louis XIV. His decision to flee France and join the court of the Habsburgs, France's most implacable opponents, is the stuff of legend, and his epic battles against Vendome and Villars won him the status of Louis XIV's Enemy Number One. Of course, in English history, Eugen plays second-banana to his great ally, the Duke of Marlborough, and while it is true that two of his greatest victories (Blenheim and Oudernarte) were won at the Duke's side, his other exploits are equally glorious. He won a series of crushing victories against the Ottoman empire, permanently altering the balance of power in the Balkans, and conducted a Northern Italian campaign that ranks equally with those of Hannibal and Napoleon. (Indeed, it was Eugene, and not Marlborough, who made Napoleon's "greatest hit" list of famous generals.) This 1960s classic is the only English language biography of Eugen available, and the reprint is most welcome. Henderson also does an admirable job of showing us Eugen in peacetime: as his wonderful Belvedere and Winter Palace attest, he was foremost among Europe's greatest art collectors, builders and bibliophiles.

Nice miscellany of Forster articles
If you enjoyed Two Cheers for Democracy and Abinger Harvest, this is the book for you. This book contains more articles by E.M. Forster, varying from literary criticism and biographies to a description of looking to the house of Voltaire through a fence while on holiday. (And yes, the latter is a beautiful read too.) Interesting from a scholarly point of view, but certainly also for anyone with a wide range of interest: an entertaining, sometimes even moving book.

This is a wonderful, poetical, metaphysical novel.
I would like to inform You about my thesis that describes and analyses all eight novels by Roberto Pazzi ("La Dimensione del Tempo e della Storia nelle Opere di Roberto Pazzi"). This year, in August, I completed my studies Italian Language and Literature at the University of Utrecht. Maybe you would like to know more about his work or his motivs. I very much admire Pazzi's second novel; the description of Giorgio's solitude, the lack of privacy, the invention and description of his journeys as his way of escapism, his love for Elena that will never be answered openly, al these dramatic aspects are described in the beautiful words of the poet that Pazzi used to be before he started to write his novels, and still is.


The Private World of the Last Tsar: In the Photographs and Notes of General Count Alexander Grabbe

Wow.
An absolutely excellent bunch of photographs never before seen in any other book about the Last Imperial Family; they're on their yacht, at the beloved palace Livadia, at the front... everywhere. Quite a few dates are off and there are some misidentifications with Nicholas and Alexandra's daughters (rather typical, sadly enough), but it's still excellent. I recommend this to ANYONE interested in the Romanovs, even slightly. It even throws in Grabbe's views on Nicholas, Alexandra and their five children.

Darn Good
hey, cool, the author acutally came here! Well, what I liked about this book was that some of the really mean, bad people got knocked off. It was kind of funny, because I really disliked some of them. But, altogether, it was a fun book.

"Protein Sequencing ......" a must to read
Michael Kinter has presented the topic in a scientific yet enjoyable format. I found the information to be extremely interesting and beneficial in my laboratory. Lets face it folks this isn't the easiest nor most interesting topic to write about. Job well done DR. Kinter. I only have one criticism, there should have been more photos and illustrations. Get your copies quick this will no doubt be on the NewYork times best seller list before long.
