Sinopse

Collected here, from a period of nearly five decades, are thirty-six of Norman Lewis's best articles. In each, his writing crackles with poker-faced wit and stylistic brilliance. As a witness to his times – the good, the bad and the absurd – he was unmatched, and his instinct for important events, and moments, was infallible. His range here includes Ibizan fishermen, an interview with Castro's executioner, the genocide of the South American indigenous tribes, a paean to Seville and his meeting with a tragic Ernest Hemingway. Lewis told Ian Fleming, who had commissioned him, that the meeting was 'a shattering experience of the kind likely to sabotage ambition'. Fortunately it didn't, and the articles assembled between these covers are compulsive, hilarious, tender and beautifully written, at times deeply upsetting and always unforgettable.

    Meet Ella - The Dog Who Saved My...

    When he was a child, James Middleton wanted nothing more than a dog of his own. 
     
     
     
    Struggling to connect in the classroom, James would often take off in pursuit of nature and animals—exploring the Berkshire countryside, tinkering with rusty farm machinery, caring for injured creatures, and losing himself for hours to the outdoors. 
     
     
     
    Then, finally, his pleas for a dog (made via handwritten letters to his parents) were answered. 
     
     
     
    Meet Ella traces the extraordinary bond between James and his beloved first pup, Ella. From their enchanting introduction to their many adventures, from Scottish mountain sides to royal weddings, their journey is marked by love, loyalty, and unexpected twists of fate. 
     
     
     
    But beyond the glamorous veneer of society engagements and entrepreneurial achievements lies a deeply personal account of James's battle with depression. Through unconditional love, Ella emerges as an intuitive friend, reading James's moods and offering solace, becoming the catalyst for his healing journey and helping him to see all the good in his life and future. 
     
     
     
    Meet Ella is a wonderfully heartwarming celebration of an unbreakable bond and the amazing healing potential of the human-animal connection.
