Book excerpt: "London Eyes provides paths through the city, chancing upon those stories that ultimately have the potential to change London, to see it with new eyes, casting new shadows and seeing new stories open up at many turns. This collection has at its heart a joyous fascination with the city and the texts, images and films that have contributed to our ideas about London. It was a wonderful opportunity to stumble upon some new panoramas." Film Philosophy London incessantly generates and incites cultural responses, pre-eminently in the interconnected domains of literature and film. This book demonstrates that those responses have been sustained as vital experiments and engagements in configuring the city and its inhabitants. Including essays by prominent cultural, literary and film historians this volume forms an original and incisive contribution to ongoing debates about the city's intricate cultural history and its construction through both language and image, as a crucial site of identity, desire, exile and displacement.

Book excerpt: London has provided the setting and inspiration for a host of literary works in English, from canonical masterpieces to the popular and ephemeral. Drawing upon a variety of methods and materials, the essays in this volume explore the London of Langland and the Peasants' Rebellion, of Shakespeare and the Elizabethan stage, of Pepys and the Restoration coffee house, of Dickens and Victorian wealth and poverty, of Conrad and the Empire, of Woolf and the wartime Blitz, of Naipaul and postcolonial immigration, and of contemporary globalism. Contributions from historians, art historians, theorists and media specialists as well as leading literary scholars exemplify current approaches to genre, gender studies, book history, performance studies and urban studies. In showing how the tradition of English literature is shaped by representations of London, this volume also illuminates the relationship between the literary imagination and the society of one of the world's greatest cities.

Despite their prickly relationship, they overcome their differences to follow a trail of clues across London in a desperate bid to find their cousin. And ultimately it comes down to Ted, whose brain works in its own very unique way, to find the key to the mystery. This is an unput-downable spine-tingling thriller–a race against time.

Book excerpt: They’re having one heck of a Christmas season, and she's ready for some holiday cheer ... Book 1 of an emotional duet about lust, love, family, and healing by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle. An Enemies-to-Lovers, Grumpy Sunshine Romance California When I meet London Shaw, he hits on me. Crudely and without apology. But I say no to every guy, and London is no exception. Then I find out who he is. But just because he’s a gorgeous, powerful billionaire doesn’t mean I have to like him. And I don’t. In fact, I hate him. I loathe him. Him with his perma-frown and arrogant attitude and expensive suits. We argue, we fight, and we have absolutely nothing in common. So why is my body constantly on fire whenever he’s around? It just proves that London Shaw is dangerous, and I need to stay as far away from him as possible. Except he’s my next-door neighbor. London From the moment I see her, I want her in my bed. I crave her. From her smart mouth to her sexy pout and sinful curves, California Blue drives me f*ck*ng wild. But California is not a one-night stand kind of woman. And I don’t do relationships. Not anymore. So I can’t give in to my need for her. Unless she’s willing to play by my rules… This is Book 1 of our story. Our flawed yet perfect rendezvous. Our nuclear attraction. Our one-in-a-billion kind of love.
