Figures in a Landscape: People and Places"A portrait of an optimist with curiosity and affection for humanity in all its forms."

"A portrait of an optimist with curiosity and affection for humanity in all its forms."--The New York Times Book Review "Theroux is at the top of his game with his third collection of essays, a magisterial grouping of intimate remembrances, globe-trotting adventures, and incisive literary critiques."--Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Theroux's observations are so keen and writerly skills so sharp that he butter-slices narratives with a razor-thin surgeon's scalpel, masterfully serving up both the world's dark underbelly and its gloriously uplifting sustenance of love, longing and wonder-lust." --Forbes Paul Theroux's latest collection of essays applies his signature searching curiosity to a life lived as much in reading as on the road. This writerly tour-de-force features a satisfyingly varied selection of topics. Travel essays take us to Ecuador, Zimbabwe, and Hawaii, to name a few. Gems of literary criticism reveal fascinating depth in the work of Henry David Thoreau, Muriel Spark, Joseph Conrad, and Hunter Thompson. And in a series of breathtakingly personal profiles, we take a helicopter ride with Elizabeth Taylor, go diagnosing with Oliver Sacks, eavesdrop on the day-to-day life of a Manhattan dominatrix, and explore New York with Robin Williams. An extended meditation on the craft of writing binds together this wide-ranging collection, along with Theroux's constant quest for the authentic in a person or in a place.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Value For The Money
Color: White
I needed something to present my daughter's upcoming 18th birthday gift in. It's a charm bracelet and a bunch of individual meaningful charms. None of them come in gift boxes, and I want something to present them all together in. Failing to find a gift box to fit the bill, I thought that this cute jewelry box would be a nice alternative. I am pleasantly surprised at what I received for the price. I expected a flimsy cardboard-ish box, and this is not that. It's not heirloom quality, but it is a nice sturdy box, well put together, and the interior tray and dividers are thick. Interior fabric is nicely soft and velvety. The box is larger than I expected, it will hold a good amount of jewelry, and it's pretty and of much better quality than I anticipated. Will certainly make a very nice presentation for my daughter's gift, and she'll be able to use it for many years, I'm sure.

Not your average jewelry box....
Color: Sage Green
A lovely simple yet elegant jewelry box - nicely made with a practical design. It has substantial weight and opens and closes nicely. This sage green color is muted with a matte finish making it soft in appearance. The gold closure adds just the right amount of interest. I placed a beautiful pendant inside as a surprise and together, these made the perfect gift for a 40th birthday. Would buy again!
