Book excerpt: Updated edition of the beloved classic by the Queen of Regency romance herself, Georgette Heyer, featuring a new Foreword by New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James. Arabella's one little while lie has spread through the ton like wildfire... Arabella Tallant, modest daughter of a country clergyman, is on her way to her first London Season when her carriage breaks down outside the estate of the wealthy and bored Mr. Robert Beaumaris. Beau assumes she's simply another young lady throwing herself in his path, which goads the impetuous Arabella into pretending she's an heiress. Much to Arabella's dismay, rather than being brutally set-down, as she intended, Beaumaris is deeply amused. He counters by launching her into high society, which Arabella would enjoy very much if it wasn't for the fortune hunters. Arabella's unpredictable and innocent ways force Beaumaris to start helping others, including a stray dog, an unfortunate urchin, and eventually Arabella's reckless young brother. Along the way, Arabella and Beaumaris become more and more intrigued with each other—which neither will admit, of course, until under extreme duress. "Absolutely delicious tales of Regency heroes... Utter, immersive escapism."—SOPHIE KINSELLA "No one has ever matched Georgette Heyer for charm and wit." —LISA KLEYPAS "Utterly timeless charm... The dialogue sparkles with wit." —NORA ROBERTS, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Romance, adventure, side-splitting humor—no one writes like Georgette Heyer!" —LAUREN WILLIG, New York Times bestselling author

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabella stood thoughtfully there on that ridge of land, where the brown earth was studded with daisies and mulleins, the common children of the soil. The sky was a clear gold at the horizon, and Arabella, gazing thereon, pondered on something she had just heard. She had suddenly become an heiress. She looked down on her plain, brown frock, at her coarse shoes, and at her hands roughened by work about the house. She had been the orphan, the charity-child, and now ÑHer gaze slowly turned from the golden skies to the house, wherein she had spent her childish years. It was large, barn-like, of a dull, cheerless brown, altogether bare and uninviting. The glint of the sun shone upon the attic window of the room wherein she had been lodged. It was the one spot which she regarded with affection. It represented home. Her eyes rested there now, wistfully, with something of longing and of affection. As she stood thus, she heard a voice calling and went slowly towards the house. There was Mrs. Christie waiting for her with a new expression upon her rugged face and a look in the dull eyes as if a light had been suddenly kindled there. ÒArabella,Ó she called, Òcome in and eat your dinner. WeÕll have to go to the city this afternoon.Ó Arabella glanced at her quickly. Her breath came fast. She had never been to the city; she had always longed painfully to go, since to her it was a wonderland. Yet she felt a sudden catch in her throat. She thought, perhaps, she was going forever, and she remembered vividly, painfully, her familiar little room, bare and miserable though it was, her one friend, a woolly, brown-haired dog, and the woods and fields, whither she went in her few leisure hours. She asked, therefore, with something of a gasp in her voice ÒNot Ñ not for always?Ó

Book excerpt: “A fanciful romp through a cosmic 1812, Hugo Award–winning Levine’s first novel is a treat for steampunk fantasy fans.” —Library Journal (starred review) Born on Mars, sixteen-year-old Arabella Ashby enjoys many more freedoms than most girls her age, tramping around the desert with her older brother. But that liberty is not to last. Finding Mars much too unladylike for her daughters, Arabella’s mother takes the girls back to London, where they’re sure to find suitable husbands among the ton. Weighed down by Earth’s gravity—and her own unhappiness—Arabella dearly misses her father and their shared passion for automata. When she learns of his death, she also uncovers her cousin’s devious plot to travel to Mars, murder her brother, and claim the family inheritance for himself. To foil his dastardly plans, Arabella disguises herself as a boy to gain employment on an airship to Mars. Though she is valued by the captain for her talent with the automaton navigator he invented, she must survive French privateers, mutiny, and her own unmasking, only to reach a Mars embroiled in rebellion . . . “If Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, and Patrick O’Brien had sat down together to compose a tale to amuse Jane Austen, the result might be Arabella of Mars. So. Much. Fun!” —Madeleine Robins, author of the Sarah Tolerance Regency mystery series “A very clever and entertaining start to a memorable saga.” —Kim Stanley Robinson, New York Times–bestselling author “Arabella, a human teenager born on Mars, is catapulted into adventure in a tale that cleverly combines some of the most intriguing elements of steampunk and classic science fiction.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Download or read book Arabella Boxer s Book of English Food written by Arabella Boxer and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabella Boxer's Book of English Food describes the delicious dishes - and the social conditions in which they were prepared, cooked and eaten - in the short span between the two world wars when English cooking suddenly blossomed. The food in these wonderful recipes comes from the great country houses, where little had changed since Victorian times, the large houses in London and the south, where fashionable hostesses vied with each other to entertain the most distinguished guests at their tables, and less grand establishments, like those in Bloomsbury where the painters and writers of the day contrived to lead cultured and civilised lives on little money. Containing 200 recipes, drawn from cookery books, magazines of the period, family sources or from talking to survivors who still remember those days, Arabella Boxer's Book of English Food is a fascinating glimpse into another world, and a celebration of English cooking at its finest.

Download or read book Arabella written by Durwood White and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arabella sits on a bench, her head propped on bended knee, wistfully watching the colors of fall drifting by her bedroom window. Oh, if only the man of her dreams would come before winter, she muses. The lava-red leaves remind her of colder days when she would be alone. The nights are noticeable cooler, the temperature inconveniently chilly. The falling leaves outside her window blankets the lawn in a carpet of red and gold, following a warmer than usual summer. Autumn is the languid season in the South. Oh, how she misses the spring, the buds of yellow jonquils peeping out of the moist earth. She grips both chains of the swing, and hauls her maturing body in a swinging loop of exhilarating excitement. She feels that she can fly! The world awaits Arabella. She is ready-is the world? But unknown to Arabella, her world is destined for change, and those who will not adapt are trapped in the jaws of secession. The very next morning Arabella drives her carriage into Charleston to get some supplies. She sees a man get off the train from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Immediately the image of this man is indelible in her mind. The next morning she rises early and rouses Hattie, the daughter of her mother's maid, to assist her in squeezing into that corset. She had to look her best. Finally she is dressed in a hoop dress, and rushes off to find that handsome man. As she drives into Charlotte she sees him walk into Perkin's Tavern near the Charleston Harbor. She parks her carriage, hops up on the boardwalk and peeps through the window. She can't go inside but she plans to bump into him when he exits. She waits her turn, bumps into him and is knocked off the walk into a mud puddle. The man is appallingly embarrassed, and take's her hand. He slips, and falls in atop Arabella. She has one more chance. Arabella is the only girl in Charleston who can cry real tears. Tears cascade down her muddy checks, and the man adamantly insists that he take her home. Hattie cooks a southern dinner and they sit on the back porch drinking ice tea. He is not talkative, but Arabella discovers his name, Robert Bruce Taylor, intelligence officer for Robert E. Lee. More damning than his name, he has a wife and child. The next morning Arabella gets on the train to Washington City capital to see her uncle about the plantation. The housekeepers of the house inform Arabella that her uncle has been arrested by Union soldiers. There is a man in the parlor that comes twice a year; her uncle is his lawyer. Arabella walks into the parlor and faces Nathan Bedford Forrest. He offers to take her home, and during the trip persuades Arabella to become a spy for his cavalry. Arabella is upstairs in her room preparing to meet Nathan Forrest, when Bruce's wife storms up the steps. Her tall frame stands in the door, a voodoo woman who has beguiled Bruce into marriage. She charges toward Arabella, and brutally claps her, accusing her of having an affair with her husband. On the second swing, Arabella takes her down by the hair of her head. She stands on rubbery legs vowing to haunt her from the grave. When Charleston is bombed, the wife is killed. Arabella is caught in the tempest of Secession and meets Bruce on the battlefield. Arabella is daily tormented by the ghost of Bruce's deceased wife. At the end of the war, Bruce and Arabella are eating inside a pub. The ghost appears audibly a finally time, telling Bruce their young son needs a mother.

Download or read book Deliberative Acts written by Arabella Lyon and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century is characterized by the global circulation of cultures, norms, representations, discourses, and human rights claims; the arising conflicts require innovative understandings of decision making. Deliberative Acts develops a new, cogent theory of performative deliberation. Rather than conceiving deliberation within the familiar frameworks of persuasion, identification, or procedural democracy, it privileges speech acts and bodily enactments that constitute deliberation itself, reorienting deliberative theory toward the initiating moment of recognition, a moment in which interlocutors are positioned in relationship to each other and so may begin to construct a new lifeworld. By approaching human rights not as norms or laws, but as deliberative acts, Lyon conceives rights as relationships among people and as ongoing political and historical projects developing communal norms through global and cross-cultural interactions.
