Tales of Endearment,a companion to the popular website, is a collection of photos and stories by Natalie Joos featuring today's "who's-who" of the vintage clothing scene. The men and women that buy, collect, wear, and love vintage come from all walks of life, but share one impartial passion: each one of their "tales" reveals a motivation to celebrate the past and its many inspiring fashions. From 1970s rock and roll t-shirts to Edwardian morning jackets, mod suede skirts to one-of-a-kind accessories, every single garment in their wardrobes was handpicked with love, gratitude, and a green conscience, and has the power to inspire today's, and tomorrow's lovers of style. Tales of Endearment identifies with the notion that "everything old becomes new again," and the remarkable people who hold it dear. They are the real-deal vintage connoisseurs, historians, collectors, sellers, enthusiasts, and aficionados. Joos personally chose them from her wide and far-reaching circle of friends in different parts of the international arts and entertainment world because she feels they know how to style vintage clothes in a relevant and modern way. Traveling to photograph them at their homes-or in other inspiring locations-while wearing their favorite pieces, the result is a singular collection of men and women donning yesterday's colors, shapes, prints, and patterns that have been passed on and reinterpreted as tomorrow's cutting edge.

These early works by Guy de Maupassant were originally published in the 1880's. As a collection of short stories, this represents Maupassant's tales of love, and includes 'The Father', 'Farewell!', 'Indiscretion', 'Mademoiselle Pearl', 'A Wedding Gift', and many other titles. Guy de Maupassant was born in 1850 at the Château de Miromesnil, near Dieppe, France. He came from a prosperous family, but when Maupassant was eleven, his mother risked social disgrace by trying to secure a legal separation from her husband. After the split, Maupassant lived with his mother till he was thirteen, and inherited her love of classical literature. In 1880, Maupassant published his first - and, according to many, his best - short story, entitled 'Boule de Suif' ('Ball of Fat'). It was an instant success. He went on to be extremely prolific during the 1880s, working methodically to produce up to four volumes of short fiction every year. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions.

An Esquire Best Book About Hollywood A USA TODAY Best Book of 2021 “A lovely and loving book.”—Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club "I'm not sure I have ever read a book about movies that is as tender and open-hearted as Films of Endearment."—Mark Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Mike Nichols: A Life A poignant memoir of family, grief and resilience about a young man, his dynamic mother and the '80s movies they shared together Michael Koresky's most formative memories were simple ones. A movie rental. A mug of tea. And a few shared hours with his mother. Years later and now a successful film critic, Koresky set out on a journey with his mother to discover more about their shared cinematic past. They rewatched ten films that she first introduced to him as a child, one from every year of the '80s, each featuring women leads. Together, films as divergent as 9 to 5, Terms of Endearment, The Color Purple and Aliens form the story of an era that Koresky argues should rightly be called "The Decade of the Actress." Films of Endearment is a reappraisal of the most important and popular female-driven films of that time, a profound meditation on loss and resilience, and a celebration of the special bond between mothers and their sons.

Observers from the West, the book contends, have incorrectly projected rigid ethnocentric notions of love and marriage onto cultures around the world. Contributors look beyond each society's "official" institutions to explore expressions of love, offering new perspectives on arranged marriages and polygamy and reexaminging as well the other side of the equation: rejection and grief.
