Newsweek Condensed Books Spend all Your Kisses Mr Smith The Luck of Nineveh The Bunker Sophia Living and Loving Time and Chance
Author: Jack Smith, Arnold C. Brackman, James P. O'Donnell, A. E. Hotchner, Peter Townsend

Spend all Your Kisses, Mr. Smith by Jack Smith — A popular columnist for the Los Angeles Times recalls the exact moment when middle age began for him: when his son zoomed up on his motorcycle with an intelligent, beautiful, and very French female companion, soon to be his wife. In this irresistible adventure, we follow the author through the cult... more »ural collision with a race of people who eat small birds whole, the adjustment to in-laws he can never fully understand, and the realization of his own mortality. Then his second son brings home an intelligent, beautiful and very Italian young woman. A warmhearted and winning tale.

The Luck of Nineveh by Arnold C. Brackman

Brackman unravels the story of the discovery of lost Nineveh in spellbinding detail: how Austen Henry Layard, an eccentric Englishman fascinated by the Near East, set out single-handedly to uncover the fabled Biblical civilization. His success electrified Europe. Inspired or just lucky, he went on to unearth dazzling riches and art treasures, and a library of 40,000 cuneiform tablets invaluable to scholars for centuries to come. His adventurer's life is set forth here in rich detail.

The Bunker by James P. O'Donnell

As a correspondent, he was one of the first Americans to enter Adolf Hilter's bunker after the fall of Berlin. In its underground recesses, the leaders of the most fearsome empire in modern history had awaited the end. At its center was the paranoid, drug-transformed, dream-ridden emperor, Hitler; while around him played the macabre and bloody melodrama of his courtiers. For the first time, fifty surviving eyewitnesses have told their stories, and the author has woven them into a powerful chronicle.

Sophia, Living and Loving: Her Own Story by A. E. Hotchner

Presenting Sophia Loren's richly personal story, from illegitimate slum urchin of Pozzuoli to reiging queen of the cinema world. This is Sophia, telling you not just what she wants you to know, but everything; turning herself inside out and filling the pages with her memories, pain, sorrow, joys, wisdom, frustrations, and dreams. After the author had completed his four months of daily interviews, the actress said, "My God, I feel like I've been through analysis."

Time and Chance: An Autobiography by Peter Townsend

He was a brilliant fighter pilot in the Battle of Britain, and later, an equerry in the royal household, where he won the heart of a princess. In his autobiography he vividly evokes his wartime experiences, and potrays his life with royalty with insight and wit. Above all, he describes his feelings for Princess Margaret with honesty and dignity. It is a sad, perhaps even tragic story: the love of two warmhearted individuals in conflict with the demands of their society. This is a fascinating and moving sincerity and decency shine throughg on evry page.
