Book dedicated to Oskar Kokoschka's activity as a collector, and more particularly to the pieces kept in his workshop in Villeneuve in Switzerland: antiquities, curiosities acquired by the artist during his many travels or offered by friends.
The Curiosities is the eleventh book of poems from this most inventive and celebrated of British poets. Here and there the story-telling roams and sweeps: here are tales 'for' friends and loved ones, there are tales 'after' the great poets of history.
A lively and entertaining guide to understanding and dissecting novels to make everyday reading more enriching, satisfying and fun. Understanding Novels shows how a novel's structure - point of view, narrative voice, chapter construction, character emblems create meaning and form the special literary language of the novel.
