Tango! by Simon Collier

Tango! by Simon Collier

An account of how the tango, born in the slums of 19th-century Buenos Aires and performed by pimps and prostitutes, captured the popular imagination for over 100 years, to become an international cult at the end of the 20th century.

Artemis Cooper is the author of several books, including Cairo in the War, 1939-1945; the authorized biography of Elizabeth David, Writing at the Kitchen Table; and with her husband, the historian Antony Beevor, Paris After the Liberation, 1944-1949. Among the volumes she has edited are Patrick Leigh Fermor's Words of Mercury and the correspondence between Evelyn Waugh and Cooper's famous grandmother, Lady Diana Cooper.

Six books by Patrick Leigh Fermor are published by NYRB Classics: A Time of Gifts; Between the Woods and the Water; A Time to Keep Silence; Mani; Roumeli; and The Traveller's Tree. Also, NYRB is the publisher of In Tearing Haste: Letters Between Deborah Devonshire and Patrick Leigh Fermor.
