Barnes and Noble hosted a book signing for S.P. Grogan’s new novel Lafayette: Courtier to Crown Fugitive https://histriabooks.com/s-p-grogan-booksigning-at-barnes-and-noble/ https://histriabooks.com/s-p-grogan-booksigning-at-barnes-and-noble/#respond Wed, 29 Jan 2020 23:02:14 +0000 https://histriabooks.com/?p=2406 Barnes and Noble invited author S.P. Grogan to sign copies of his new book, Lafayette: Courtier to Crown Fugitive at their Summerlin location in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, February 23, 2020. Numerous fans, admirers, and book lovers turned out to talk about the Lafayette and his future writing projects with the best-selling author, as well as to take home a signed copy of the book.

In Lafayette: Courtier to Crown Fugitive, 1757-1777, S.P. Grogan writes a fascinating fictional narrative about Gilbert Lafayette and his coming-of-age in the mid-1770s amidst the decadence of Queen Marie Antoinette’s French court. The story begins with young Gilbert sworn to avenge his military father’s death at the hands of the British. The reader will track how a country boy of Auvergne became the richest orphan in France, and how forces behind the throne, trying to gain control over his fortune, seek to marry him off to a twelve-year-old girl to support one of the most powerful military castes in France.

Lafayette – Courtier to Crown Fugitive is an ‘action’ story of highway robbers, spies, and court intrigues. The reader can see the developing psychological make-up of Lafayette: his search for a father-figure, his need for supportive love, and his blind passion for glory and fame. What is revealed is a young boy in the throes of transformation under the influences of Queen Marie Antoinette’s lifestyle of spoiled privilege, his attitude toward his young wife in a forced marriage, the secrets of the Masonic fraternity, the writings of Voltaire, the Encyclopédistes, and the voice of the anti-slavery Abbot Raynal. All come together to transform his mindset, as Gilbert, blinded by class liberté idealism, seeks to run away to join the American revolutionary army. In doing so, he becomes a fugitive from the King’s edicts, and his ensuing flight and pursuit climax in a showdown on the beaches of Spain.

This outstanding novel has been nominated for the Benjamin Franklin Award for best historical fiction. This beautiful hardcover edition is available at HistriaBooks.com and at all major book retailers: Lafayette: Courtier to Crown Fugitive, 370 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211-031-5. The book will be released in paperback and ebook formats on May 15, 2020. Titles published by Histria Books are distributed worldwide by the Casemate Group.

Histria Books announces donation drive to aid victims of the devastating earthquake in Albania https://histriabooks.com/histria-books-announces-donation-drive-to-aid-victims-of-the-devastating-earthquake-in-albania/ https://histriabooks.com/histria-books-announces-donation-drive-to-aid-victims-of-the-devastating-earthquake-in-albania/#respond Thu, 12 Dec 2019 07:32:59 +0000 https://histriabooks.com/?p=2340 Histria Books is pleased to announce that it will donate $10 for each copy of Scanderbeg: George Castiota and the Albanian Resistance to Islamic Expansion sold on its website HistriaBooks.com in the month of December to aid victims of the devastating earthquake in Albania. The book is published by Vita Histria an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to outstanding academic works.

Scanderbeg tells the story of the Albanian national hero George Castriota Scanderbeg and his efforts to defend Europe against the assault of the Ottoman Turks. For a quarter of a century, from 1443 until his death in 1468, he used his military prowess to thwart the efforts of the most powerful Empire in the world at the time to subdue his tiny country. George Castriota defended Europe for a quarter of a century and, it can rightly be said, helped to save Western civilization from being overrun by Islam and suffering the same fate as the once mighty Byzantine Empire. This book examines the genius and remarkable achievements of Scanderbeg who helped shape the identity of the Albanian people, revealing the important contribution this small but proud nation has made to European civilization.

Histria Books also encourages you to donate online directly to help the victims of the recent earthquake on the official site established by the Albanian government: Donate to the Albanian Earthquake Relief Fund

Histria Books Announces the Release of Revealing the Inner Contours of Human Emotion: Preserving the Ballets of Anthony Tudor https://histriabooks.com/histria-books-announces-the-release-of-revealing-the-inner-contours-of-human-emotion-preserving-the-ballets-of-anthony-tudor/ https://histriabooks.com/histria-books-announces-the-release-of-revealing-the-inner-contours-of-human-emotion-preserving-the-ballets-of-anthony-tudor/#respond Fri, 01 Nov 2019 15:16:17 +0000 https://histriabooks.com/?p=2309 Histria Books is pleased to announce the release today, November 1, 2019, of Revealing the Inner Contours of Human Emotion: Preserving the Ballets of Antony Tudor by Christine Knoblauch-O’Neal. The book is published by Vita Histria, an imprint of Histria Books dedicated to academic books on a wide range of subjects.

Antony Tudor stands as one of the pillars of twentieth-century ballet choreography. An English born choreographer who found a home in the United States, Tudor gained renown as the most innovative choreographer of his day. A modernist who used movement sparingly, the Tudor Ballets and their characters were mutually definitive and contextual. The Tudor stories unfolded through the shape of a hand or a foot, or through the tilt of a hat, or the form of a skirt. Within seconds of the curtain rising on a Tudor ballet, the audience understood the backstory of each character.

Based on a series of interviews with the curators of the Tudor legacy: Sally Bliss, Trustee of the Antony Tudor Ballet Trust, and four of the Répétiteurs, the professionals tasked with restaging the Tudor ballets, this book discusses the legacy of Antony Tudor and the restaging of his ballets to preserve their unique qualities that make them Tudor ballets.

The author, Christine Knoblauch-O’Neal, is Director of the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Dance Program in the Performing Arts Department at Washington University in St. Louis. Before beginning her academic career, Christine performed for twenty years as a dancer with companies such as the American Ballet Theater (where she worked with Antony Tudor), the National Ballet, and the Cincinnati Ballet.

The book is available at HistriaBooks.com and at all major book retailers. Titles published by Histria Books are distributed worldwide by the Casemate Group. For information on publishing with Histria Books please visit HistriaBooks.com or contact us at info@histriabooks.com

This new edition of poems and prose by Mihai Eminescu includes a selection of the best English-language renditions of poems and prose by this remarkable cultural figure of the nineteenth century, whom the British writer George Bernard Shaw once referred to as “the Moldavian who raised the XVIII-XIX fin de siècle from its grave.” It is undeniable that to have an appreciation of Romanian culture one must become acquainted with the works of Mihai Eminescu. The leading cultural figure of nineteenth century Romania, Eminescu (1850-1889) was not only a poet, but also a philosopher, prose writer, translator, and journalist. He is best seen as a man who embodied the national culture and, therefore, through his work, helped to give it shape.

The selections in this volume include English language versions of some of Eminescu’s best-known poems such as Doina, Lacul, Și dacă, Luceafărul, Odă (în metru antic), Mai am un singur dor, Scrisoarea III, and many others. It also includes English versions of his most important prose writings — Făt Frumos din lacrimi, Sărmanul Dionis, Geniu pustiu, and Cezara. This beautiful, deluxe casebound volume also includes an introduction on the life and work of Eminescu by A.K. Brackob, and original artwork by Ioana Lupușoru. It is dedicated to the memory of Irina Andone, a remarkable Romanian translator and scholar responsible for many of the translations that appear in this volume.

The book is available at HistriaBooks.com and at all major book retailers. Titles published by Histria Books are distributed worldwide by the Casemate Group. For information on publishing with Histria Books please visit HistriaBooks.com or contact us at info@histriabooks.com
