In the fifties, it took a lot of courage for a Catholic woman to get a divorce. That is what Julee Novak Chusack did. She divorced Stanley, the man who promised her everything. A good decent life and family. He cheated on her from the first year of their marriage. He never held a job long enough for her to feel secure that he would be able to support a family. Trying to forget the religious disgrace of being a divorced woman, Julee and her best friend, Ellen, who recently separated from a long term courtship, decided they needed to get away. What better place to forget the two poor excuses for men, than a vacation in Europe. A chance meeting with Ruby and her mother, Mrs. Romanoffski, a bona-fide gypsy, proved to be the high-light of their vacation plans. After a tea leaf reading, and two week's of fun, it was easy to change their scheduled plans. They soon found they loved Europe and the people. They also found, when their vacation time was up, it was difficult to leave. It was quite possible their new admirers could be the men in their future. They needed time to find out if the fascination was real. Long Island is a long way from Italy.

Discover contemporary interiors inspired by natural landscapes. Discover contemporary interiors inspired by natural landscapes. Modern pastoral interiors are about embracing the pared-back lifestyle of living in the country, taking nature as the main point of inspiration. Use colors, textures, and details to create a home in which to unwind—a retreat from the rest of the world. Niki Brantmark explores various takes on this simple, informal style. The graphical look is striking, reminiscent of exposed landscapes: think whitewashed ceilings, rugged stone surfaces, and striking black features, softened by cozy soft furnishings and fresh plants and flowers. Savanna style introduces warmer hues, featuring painted wood and reds, oranges, and browns in textiles, furniture, and collectibles. Nordic interiors take in the best of the Scandinavian landscape—clean white backdrops against sleek designs—while those inspired by forest and mountain streams are filled with rich, deep greens and blues, combined with traditional patterns and features, such as log burners, wood paneling, and woven rugs. The stunning photography for this book takes in locations across Scandinavia and the United States, and all evoke an ideal, rural life, adapted to modern living.

There were eccentric characters in the hotel. The Paris slums are a gathering-place for eccentric people—people who have fallen into solitary, half-mad grooves of life and given up trying to be normal or decent. Poverty frees them from ordinary standards of behaviour, just as money frees people from work. Some of the lodgers in our hotel lived lives that were curious beyond words. There were the Rougiers, for instance, an old, ragged, dwarfish couple who plied an extraordinary trade. They used to sell postcards on the Boulevard St Michel. The curious thing was that the postcards were sold in sealed packets as pornographic ones, but were actually photographs of chateaux on the Loire; the buyers did not discover this till too late, and of course never complained. The Rougiers earned about a hundred francs a week, and by strict economy managed to be always half starved and half drunk. The filth of their room was such that one could smell it on the floor below. According to Madame F., neither of the Rougiers had taken off their clothes for four years.

"Examining the themes of presence and absence, the relationship between photography and theatre, history and death, these 'reflections on photography' begin as an investigation into the nature of photographs. Then, as Barthes contemplates a photograph of his mother as a child, the book becomes an exposition of his own mind."--Alibris.
