Brookner, Anita
Visitors Toronto, ON, Canada Doubleday Canada, Limited 1997 0385256922 1st Edition Hardcover Fine Fine Book 8vo - over 7¾ in. - 9¾ in.Tall
The extraordinary Anita Brookner, praised by The New York Times as "one of the finest novelists of her generation," gives us a brilliant novel about age and awakening. In Visitors, Brookner explores what happens when a woman's quiet resignation to fate is challenged by the arrogance of youth. Dorothea May is most at ease in the company of strangers. When her late husband's relatives prevail on her to take in a young man for the week before an unexpected family wedding, Thea's carefully constructed, solitary world is thrown into disarray. As the wedding approaches, old family secrets surface and conflicts erupt between the generations, trapping an unwilling Thea in the middle. Confronted by the company of Steve Best, a carefree young wanderer, Thea's fragile facade of peaceful acceptance is pierced, forcing her to face in a new way both her past and her future. Exquisite writing, richly drawn characters, and penetrating prceptions about people are here combined into another superb novel by the writer about whom The New York Times Book Review has said, "If Henry James were around, the only writer he'd be reading with complete approval would be Anita Brookner." 081316

Broome, John;Broome, Jack
Letters from Dad: Lessons and Love New York, New York, U.S.A. Time Warner on Demand 1996 0446520144 First Edition Hardcover Fine Fine Book 8vo - over 7¾ in. - 9¾ in.Tall
In 1991, Broome's son Jack left for Cate, a California prep school he attended in hopes of getting into a prestigious college. Father and son had an especially close relationship, because Jack had been living with Broome for the four years since his parents' divorce. To maintain their connection, Broome wrote his son frequently, and these letters, though of limited interest, testify to his love for Jack. Much of the correspondence deals with values Broome considers important and would like to inculcate in his son, such as integrity, hard work and leadership. He also wants Jack to adhere to his conservative political opinions, and he has written several letters that strike a discordant note as nothing but diatribes against Democratic presidents, unions, communists and social welfare programs. Other letters express nagging concern about Jack's grades and Broome's apparently unfounded worry that his son will drink too much. Broome was recently injured by a drunk driver in a car crash, and included here is an essay Jack wrote about his father's accident 080415

Burrough, Bryan;Helyar, John
Barbarians at the Gate: The Fall of RJR Nabisco Scranton, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Harpercollins 1990 0060161728 Hardcover Fine Fine Book 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
Hardcover, dust jacket. Fine condition. The leveraged buyout of the RJR Nabisco Corporation for $25 billion is a landmark in American business history, a story of avarice on an epic scale. Two versions of the fierce competition for the largest buyout ever consummated are presented by skilled journalists with contrasting styles. Burrough and Helyar are clearly fascinated with the personalities of the players in the deal and with the trappings of corporate wealth. The restless, flamboyant personality of Ross Johnson, CEO of RJR Nabisco, is portrayed as the key to the events that were to unfold. The colorful description of all of the players and the events will likely have broad appeal. Lampert signals the complexity of her story by introducing her narrative with a three-page cast of characters. Her focus on the strategy of the players and on the fast-paced action provides a more concise description of a deal big enough to augment the wealth of many rich people. 083575

Burroughs, Augusten
Magical Thinking: True Stories Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A. St Martins Pr 2004 0312315945 Hardcover Fine Fine Book 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall
Hardc cover with dust jacket. Fine condition. From the number-one bestselling author of Running with Scissors and Dry comes Augusten Burroughs's most eagerly anticipated collection yet: true stories that give voice to the thoughts that we all have but dare not mention. It begins with a Tang Instant-Breakfast Drink television commercial: "Yes, you, Augusten. You were great. We want you." I can now trace my manic adult tendencies to this moment. It was the first time I felt deeply thrilled about something just a fraction of an instant after being completely crushed. I believe those three words "We want you" were enough to cause my brain to rewire itself, and from then on, I would require more than other people....- from Magical Thinking's "Commercial Break" A contest of wills with a deranged cleaning lady. The execution of a rodent carried out with military precision and utter horror. Telemarketing revenge. A different kind of "roof work." Dating an undertaker who shows up in a minivan. This is the fabric of Augusten Burroughs's life: a collection of true stories that are universal in their appeal yet unabashedly intimate, stories that shine a flashlight into both dark and hilarious places. With Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs goes where other memoirists fear to tread. 083937

LA LEGENDE DU SEIGNEUR DES LOUPS T.1 ADA 2008 2895655278 Soft cover As New Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
comme neuf condition. Couverture souple grand format texte francais, french edition.535 pages. Dans un petit village du nord de la France, la rue est devenue non seulement le théâtre de violents affrontements entre bandes rivales, mais également une menace pour les écolier la sortie du collège, un lieu de prédilection pour les délinquants qui cherchent à racketter des proies faciles. Un enfant rusé décide de faire face aux contrevenants en créant une communauté de résistants dont les techniques guerrières illustrent deux disciplines ancestrales japonaises, le combat à l'épée et le tir à l'arc. Cet enfant a l'âme d'un guerrier de lumière. D'ailleurs, une légende annonçait sa venue. Elle raconte qu'un loup qui s'était sacrifié pour sauver sa horde avait été récompensé pour cet acte de générosité suprême. Des esprits invisibles l'avaient affranchi du règne animal. Ils lui avaient permis de se réincarner dans l'enveloppe d'un enfant et d'hériter de l'esprit du Seigneur des loups. Il déplaçait en meute avec ses compagnons. Il avait, dit-on, la rage d'un loup et la combativité d'un dragon ; le feu qui coulait dans ses veines le rendait presque invulnérable au combat. Il était envoyé sur terre pour accomplir une mission : protéger les collégiens à la sortie de l'école et combattre les bandes organisées à l'aide d'une épée de bois en pratiquant les techniques ancestrales des guerriers samouraïs. 082902

Caillet, Serge;Papus
Monsieur Philippe, L'ami De Dieu: Suivi Du Recueil De Papus Et D'un Journal De Seances Paris France Dervy 2000 2850768235 Soft cover Very Good Book 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall
Texte francais, French edition. 315 page. Couverture souple grand format.. Nizier Anthelme Philippe (1849-1905), fut perçu comme le "père des pauvres" par certains, un prodigieux guérisseur ou thaumaturge par d'autres, tandis que la médecine officielle échoua à le comprendre et chercha en vain à le discréditer et lui interdire d'exercer. Vénéré par ses malades qu'il recevait chaque jour par dizaines, il soigna avec succès les âmes et les corps de nombreux cas désespérés. Il a oeuvré, prié, et vécu sur terre, conscient d'être à sa façon un messager de Dieu. A ce titre, il entretenait des relations privilégiées avec certains souverains d'Europe comme Nicolas IL, ce qui inquiétait la police politique russe et le gouvernement français, incapables d'appréhender des réalités spirituelles qui les dépassaient et qui ne comprirent pas davantage le rôle particulier joué par Philippe auprès d'autres monarques. Exploitant plusieurs sources inédites Serge Gaillet retrace ici la carrière de cet homme hors du commun qui, paradoxalement, pouvait confier à un journaliste : " J'ignore tout de moi, je n'ai jamais compris ni cherché à m'expliquer mon mystère " alors qu'aux non officiels il affirmait : " Ne craignez pas de me perdre; j'ai un pied au fond de la mer, un sur la terre, une main, vers vous et l'autre vers le Ciel. Donc vous me retrouverez toujours ", ou bien encore "Je suis un avocat à la cour du Ciel et j'ai reçu le pouvoir de commander".Deux documents publiés in extenso pour la première fois viennent fort utilement illustrer cette biographie : le carnet du Dr Encausse dans lequel celui-ci a relevé et classé des propos de Monsieur Philippe et un journal anonyme de comptes rendus de séances de guérisons et d'enseignements. 082086

Tome 2. Couverture souple grand format. Texte francais, french edition. 496 pages.Vengeance ! Tel est le mot qui habite le coeur de Mary Read tandis qu'elle galope sur la route de Venise. Son mari, son grand amour, l'homme pour qui elle avait posé les armes, a été sauvagement assassiné et sa fille, la toute petite Ann, enlevée. Mais Mary est pirate, elle est combattante, elle ne se résigne pas devant le malheur. De nouveau vêtue en homme, la rage au ventre, elle se lance sur les traces de celle qui a brisé sa vie, la diabolique Emma de Mortefontaine.

Plus fougueuse que jamais, rendue plus forte par les épreuves, Mary entre donc dans la folie de Venise, ville de toutes les mascarades et de toutes les intrigues. Dorénavant, sa vie sera faite d'errance, de combats et d'abordages, sur toutes les mers du globe.

Calof, Rachel
Rachel Calof's Story: Jewish Homesteader on the Northern Plains Bloomington, Indiana, U.S.A. Indiana Univ Pr 1995 0253209862 Soft cover Very Good Book 8vo - over 7¾ in. - 9¾ in.Tall
NO markings on text.. Calof's story] has the 'electricity' one occasionally finds in primary sources. It is powerful, shocking, and primitive, with the kind of appeal primary sources often attain without effort.... it is a strong addition to the literature of women's experience on the frontier. Lillian Schlissel asking for approval to use quote] In 1894, eighteen-year-old Rachel Bella Kahn travelled from Russia to the United States for an arranged marriage to Abraham Calof, an immigrant homesteader in North Dakota. Rachel Calof's Story combines her memoir of a hard pioneering life on the prairie with scholarly essays that provide historical and cultural background and show her narrative to be both unique and are presentative western tale. Her narrative is riveting and candid, laced with humor and irony. The memoir, written by Rachel Bella Calof in 1936, recounts aspects of her childhood and teenage years in a Jewish community, (shtetl)in Russia, but focuses largely on her life between 1894 and 1904, when she and her husband carved out a life as homesteaders. She recalls her horror at the hardships of pioneer life especially the crowding of many family members into the 12 x 14'dirt-floored shanties that were their first dewellings. Of all the privations I knew as a homesteader, says Calof, the lack of privacy was the hard to bear. Money, food, and fuel were scarce, and during bitter winters, three Calof households Abraham and Rachel with their growing children, along with his parents and a brother's family would pool resources and live together (with livestock) in one shanty. Under harsh and primitive conditions, Rachel Bella Calof bore and raised nine children. The family withstood many dangers, including hailstorms that hammered wheat to the ground and flooded their home;droughts that reduced crops to dust; blinding snowstorms of plains winters. Through it all, however, Calof drew on a humor and resolve that is everywhere apparent in her narrative. Always striving to improve her living conditions, she made lamps fromdried mud, scraps of rag, and butter; plastered the cracked wood walls of her home with clay; supplemented meagre supplies with prairie forage wild mushrooms and garlic for a special supper, dry grass for a hot fire to bake bread. Never sentimental, Caolf's memoir is a vital historical and persona l record. J. Sanford Rikoon elaborates on the history of Jewish settlement in the rural heartland and the great tide of immigration from the Russian Pale of Settlement and Eastern Europe from 1880--1910. Jewish Elizabeth Jameson examine show Calof writes from the interior spaces of private life, and from that vantage point, reconfigures more familiar versions of the American West.Jameson also discusses how the Calofs adapted Jewish practices to the new contingencies of North Dakota, maintaining customs that represented the core of their Jewish identity, reconstructing their . 080695
