Modigliani
Along came Amedeo: A unique type of beauty In endless odes to the female form, Amedeo Modigliani(1884 1920) traced elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his own name into art history.

In Wartime - Stories from Ukraine
Urgent and insightful, Tim Judah's account of the human side of the conflict in Ukraine is an evocative exploration of what the second largest country in Europe feels like in wartime. Making his way from the Polish border in the west, through the capital city and the heart of the 2014 revolution, to the eastern frontline near the Russian border, seasoned war reporter Tim Judah brings a rare glimpse of the reality behind the headlines. Along the way he talks to the people living through the conflict - mothers, soldiers, businessmen, poets, politicians - whose memories of a contested past shape their attitudes, allegiances and hopes for the future. Together, their stories paint a vivid picture of a nation trapped between powerful forces, both political and historical. "Visceral, gripping, heartbreaking". (Simon Sebag Montefiore).
