September Selection - A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
Brimming with humor, a glittering cast of characters, and one beautifully rendered scene after another, this singular novel casts a spell as it relates the count's endeavor to gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be a man of purpose.
“In all ways a great novel, a nonstop pleasure brimming with charm, personal wisdom, and philosophic insight, this book more than fulfills the promise of Towles' stylish debut, Rules of Civility." - Kirkus Reviews (starred).
From the New York Times bestselling author of Rules of Civility comes a transporting novel about a man who is ordered to spend the rest of his life inside a luxury hotel. A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in another elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him a doorway into a much larger world of emotional discovery.
Copies of the book will be available to registered patrons for pickup at the branch of their choice.

Andrea Chénier is a verismo opera in four acts by composer Umberto Giordano, set to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica, and first performed on 28 March 1896 at La Scala, Milan.
France is on the brink of revolution as servants have become fed up with the nobility. While at a party hosted by the Countess de Coigny, the servant Carlo Gerard has reached his breaking point and he interrupts the party with other servants who force the people to leave the party. Andrea Chenier, a poet, has attended this party and has been outspoken about how he dislikes the riches treatment of the poor, and he leaves with the servants …… and the story unfolds.
With its intense themes of love, and revolution and Giordano’s wondrous score Andrea Chénier has long been one of opera’s most beloved pieces.

Upright bassist/singer, composer Morrie Louden will perform jazz standards with swing and Latin rhythms. Morrie will be accompanied by pianist Mike Eckroth.
Morrie Louden performs all over NY and elsewhere as a bandleader.

A year later he added formal acoustic bass and piano studies. By age 14, band leaders of some of the best Bay area groups, where he was born, were hiring him to play. Morrie toured the world for many years with pop icons: Engelbert Humperdinck, Barbra Streisand, The 5th Dimension, and Paul Anka, to name just a few.

Author Talk with Richard Webb - Boats Against the Current: The Honeymoon Summer of Scott and Zelda.
Documentary: “Gatsby in Connecticut: The Untold Story” - filmmakers Robert Steven Williams and Richard Webb
F. Scott Fitzgerald honeymooned in Westport, and later moved to Great Neck. Great Neck has historically been the assumed setting for Gatsby’s mansion in West Egg and Port Washington, or East Egg the location of Daisy’s house. Now, historians Richard Webb and Robert Steven Williams are suggesting that Westport, CT had the major influence on the writing of The Great Gatsby.
A new book, Boats Against the Current, written by Webb, accompanies a not-quite-released documentary produced by Webb and Williams.
Author and historian Richard “Deej” Webb grew up Westport in the shadow of what was often referred to by the couple afterward as “the gray house,” and may well be the inspiration for Nick Carroway’s cottage in Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. In fact, according to current research, Westport itself had a much greater influence on the novel than its neighbors across Long Island Sound, as presented by Webb in BOATS AGAINST THE CURRENT: The Honeymoon Summer of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.
RICHARD “DEEJ” WEBB is an author, documentary filmmaker and historian. A graduate of Vanderbilt University, he is a multiple award-winning educator who has taught at the high school and university level for more than 25 years. A featured presenter in the Connecticut Public Broadcasting Prohibition documentary Connecticut Goes Dry, Webb is co-creator and co-producer, along with Robert Williams, of Gatsby in Connecticut, an F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald documentary that is a companion piece to Boats Against the Current. Considered a local authority on Westport history, he is a consultant to the local historical society and has given talks throughout Fairfield County about the Fitzgeralds’ time in Westport.
Come hear the author and filmmakers discuss their research. See parts of the documentary in this first Long Island showing. Decide for yourself. This book has received a tremendous amount of interest in the New York Times, as well as local papers both on Long Island and in Connecticut. This will be their first Long Island book talk - bound to be a controversial afternoon.Registration suggested beginning Monday, September 17 by calling 466-8055, ext. 208/254 or register online.
Great Neck Library School District residents have priority for seating. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier or preferred seating.

Join Assemblyman Anthony D'Urso when he speaks about his connection to a Jewish family that his family helped to hide during the Holocaust.
On the eve of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Jan. 26, 2018 Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso traveled to a small synagogue in Naples, Italy, where he was reunited with the descendants of the Jewish family who he helped hide from the Nazis as a little boy. The D’Urso family protected the large Ascarelli family in their hometown of Formia, Italy, halfway between Naples and Rome, in 1944. While he was just a young child, the future assemblyman was responsible for acting as a lookout and calling out to his mother when German soldiers approached.
Since 1988, D’Urso has been trying to locate the family, hoping that his parents would be recognized as “Righteous Among the Nations” by the State of Israel and Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial. D’Urso, with the help of Michael Weinstock, an attorney from Great Neck, found the proof he needed – a diary located in the National Archives of Italy.
“I’m blessed because the diary that’s been found allows me to finally spread the word about my father’s heroism,” D’Urso said. “And I’m doubly blessed to spend time with so many people who are alive today, in part, because (my father,) a farmer who couldn’t read or write knew what was right and what was wrong.”

West Egg Book Club
October Title: Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
This rhapsodic tribute to a bygone era conjures up mesmerizing images of 1930s New York. Two worlds collide on New Year's Eve 1937, and three lives will never be the same. For Katey Kontent and Eve Ross, two working gals out on the town, a chance encounter with patrician banker Tinker Grey sets into motion a series of events causing far-reaching consequences. As Towles explores the seemingly random ways in which both choice and chance can impact the future, Katey, Eve, and Tinker each face a dark night of the soul, during which fates are twisted, reshaped, and realigned. Discerning readers will draw parallels between Towles and the ominously ironic Edith Wharton while relishing the fact that the snappy dialogue and descriptive prose are wrapped in a compelling narrative. (Booklist Reviews)
Please contact Reference early enough to obtain your copy of the book. Books may take 10 to 14 days to reach us from outside the Library.
