› Find signed collectible books: 'All That Is Solid Melts into the Air: The Experience of Modernity'Book summary:"A bubbling caldron of ideas . . . Enlightening and valuable." Mervyn Jones, New Statesman.[via]The political and social revolutions of the nineteenth century, the pivotal writings of Goethe, Marx, Dostoevsky, and others, and the creation of new environments to replace the oldall have thrust us into a modern world of contradictions and ambiguities. In this fascinating book, Marshall Berman examines the clash of classes, histories, and cultures, and ponders our prospects for coming to terms with the relationship between a liberating social and philosophical idealism and a complex, bureaucratic materialism.
From a reinterpretation of Karl Marx to an incisive consideration of the impact of Robert Moses on modern urban living, Berman charts the progress of the twentieth-century experience. He concludes that adaptation to continual flux is possible and that therein lies our hope for achieving a truly modern society.

The Arcades Projectby Walter Benjamin, Kevin McLaughlin, Howard EilandISBN 0674008022 (0-674-00802-2)
Softcover, Harvard Univ Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Arcades Project'Book summary:You could spend years trying to read Walter Benjamin's The Arcades Project--after all, he spent much of the last 13 years of his life doing the research. When he committed suicide in 1940, he destroyed his copy of the manuscript, and so for decades the work was believed lost. But another copy turned up, and Howard Eiland and Kevin McLaughlin have translated it into English. It is a complex, fragmentary work--more a series of notes for a book than a book itself--which probes the culture of the Paris arcades (a cross between covered streets and shopping malls) of the mid-19th century and the flaneur ("the man who walks long and aimlessly through the streets" in an "anamnestic intoxication [that] ... feeds on the sensory data taking shape before his eyes but often possesses itself of abstract knowledge--indeed, of dead facts--as something experienced and lived through"). The Arcades Project is, frankly, so dense a work that one hardly has enough time to glimpse fleetingly at its sections--over 100 pages of notes on Baudelaire alone!--before mentioning it to you, though one certainly looks forward to the opportunity to peruse it at leisure.

Artificial Paradises: Baudelaire's Masterpiece on Hashishby Charles Baudelaire, Stacy DiamondISBN 0806514833 (0-8065-1483-3)

› Find signed collectible books: 'Artificial Paradises: Baudelaire's Masterpiece on Hashish'Book summary:At the time of its release in 1860, Charles Baudelaire's "Artificial Paradises (Les Paradis Artificiels)" met with immediate praise. One of the most important French symbolists, Baudelaire led a debauched, violent, and ultimately tragic life, dying an opium addict in 1867. This book, a response to Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an Opium Eater, serves as a memoir of Baudelaire's last years.
In this beautifully wrought portrait of the effects of wine, opium, and hashish on the mind, Baudelaire captures the dreamlike visions he experienced during his narcotic trances. These hallucinations, sometimes exquisite, sometimes disturbing, and the delusions of grandeur that often accompanied them, constitute the Paradis Artificiels, the gorgeous yet false worlds of ecstasy that eventually led to his ruin. Contrasting the effects of hashish and opium with those of wine, Baudelaire concludes that "wine exalts the will, hashish destroys it" and makes idlers of all those who use it.
This new translation of a controversial book provides fascinating reading as well as a key to the mind of a great writer. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bad Beginning'Book summary:Make no mistake. The Bad Beginning begins badly for the three Baudelaire children, and then gets worse. Their misfortunes begin one gray day on Briny Beach when Mr. Poe tells them that their parents perished in a fire that destroyed their whole house. "It is useless for me to describe to you how terrible Violet, Klaus, and even Sunny felt in the time that followed," laments the personable (occasionally pedantic) narrator, who tells the story as if his readers are gathered around an armchair on pillows. But of course what follows is dreadful. The children thought it was bad when the well-meaning Poes bought them grotesque-colored clothing that itched. But when they are ushered to the dilapidated doorstep of the miserable, thin, unshaven, shiny-eyed, money-grubbing Count Olaf, they know that they--and their family fortune--are in real trouble. Still, they could never have anticipated how much trouble. While it's true that the events that unfold in Lemony Snicket's novels are bleak, and things never turn out as you'd hope, these delightful, funny, linguistically playful books are reminiscent of Roald Dahl (remember James and the Giant Peach and his horrid spinster aunts), Charles Dickens (the orphaned Pip in Great Expectations without the mysterious benefactor), and Edward Gorey (The Gashlycrumb Tinies). There is no question that young readers will want to read the continuing unlucky adventures of the Baudelaire children in The Reptile Room and The Wide Window.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Baroque Reason: The Aesthetics of Modernity'Book summary:In this fascinating book, Christine Buci-Glucksmann explores the condition of modernity - alienation, melancholy, nostalgia - through the works of a number of writers and philosophers, including the social and aesthetic philosophy of Walter Benjamin.
The author examines Baudelaire's haunting image of the city and its profound effect on conceptions of modernity. She goes on to consider how such influential figures as Nietzsche, Adorno, Musil, Barthes and Lacan constitute a baroque paradigm, united by their allegorical style, their conflation of aesthetics with ethics and their subject matter - death, catastrophe, sexuality, myth, the female. In her exegesis of these fundamental themes Buci-Glucksmann proposes an epistemology [via]

Counterfeit Moneyby Jacques Derrida, Peggy KamufISBN 0226143139 (0-226-14313-9)
Hardcover, University of Chicago Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Counterfeit Money'Book summary:Is giving possible? Is it possible to give without immediately entering into a circle of exchange that turns the gift into a debt to be returned? This question leads Jacques Derrida to make out an irresolvable paradox at what seems the most fundamental level of the gift's meaning: for the gift to be received as a gift, it must not appear as such, since its mere appearance as gift puts it in the cycle of repayment and debt.[via]
Derrida reads the relation of time to gift through a number of texts: Heidegger's Time and Being, Mauss's The Gift, as well as essays by Benveniste and Levi-Strauss that assume Mauss's legacy. It is, however, a short tale by Baudelaire, "Counterfeit Money," that guides Derrida's analyses throughout. At stake in his reading of the tale, to which the second half of this book is devoted, are the conditions of gift and forgiveness as essentially bound up with the movement of dissemination, a concept that Derrida has been working out for many years.
For both readers of Baudelaire and students of literary theory, this work will prove indispensable.More editions of Counterfeit Money:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The End'Book summary:Picking up from the final pages of the Pentultimate Peril, this farewell installment to the ridiculously (and deservedly!) popular A Series of Unfortunate Events places our protagonists right where we last left them: on a large, wooden boat in the middle of the ocean, trapped with their nemesis Count Olaf, who has armed himself with a helmet-full of deadly Medusoid Mycelium.
The situation quickly and--this being the Baudelaires--predictably deteriorates. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves tossed in a storm so terrible that our beloved narrator spends four pages describing how he cannot describe it. From this point on, fans of the series' smarty-pants wordplay and acrobatic narrative can rest assured that they're in for more of the same (and how) in this 368-page finale, and Daniel Handler's deadpan Snicket continues to tutor a generation in self-referential humor (including one particularly funny bit regarding three very short men carrying a large, flat piece of wood, painted to look like a living room). Snicket notes, of course, that if you read the entire series, "your only reward will be 170 chapters of misery in your library and countless tears in your eyes."
There's one big question, though, for anyone who's made it through "the thirteenth chapter of the thirteenth volume in this sad history": is the final book a fitting end? That question is probably best-answered by one of The End's most oft-repeated phrases: It depends on how you look at it. Those looking for conclusive resolution to the series' many, many mysteries may be disappointed, although some big questions do get explicit answers. Not surprisingly for a work so deliberately labyrinthine, though, even the absence of an answer can be sort of an answer--and reaction to The End can be something of a Rorschach test for readers. Or, as Lemony Snicket says, "Perhaps you dont know yet what the end really means." --Paul Hughes [via]

The greatest French poet of the 19th century, Baudelaire was also the first truly modem poet, and his direct and indirect influence on the literature of our time has been immeasurable.
Flowers of Evil: A Selection contains 53 poems which the editors feel best represent the total work and which. in their opinion, have been most successfully rendered into English. The French texts as established by Yves Gérard Le Dantec for the Pléiade edition are printed en face.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Great Thoughts'Book summary:Upon its publication, George Seldes's The Great Thoughts instantly took its place as a classic--a treasure house of the seminal ideas that have shaped the intellectual history of the world down through the ages. Seldes, a pivotal figure in the history of American journalism and a tireless researcher, spent the better part of his extraordinary lifetime compiling the thoughts that rule the world, casting his net widely and wisely through the essential works of philosophy, poetry, psychology, economics, politics, memoirs, and letters from the ancient Greeks to the modern Americans.
Now Seldes's splendid and important work has been revised and updated to include the great thoughts that have changed our world in the decade since the book's first appearance. Quotations from leaders as varied as Nelson Mandela, Lech Walesa, Yitzak Rabin, Newt Gingrich, and Jesse Jackson reflect the radical shifts in the world political scene. Toni Morrison and Cornel West speak out on the enduring vitality of African-American culture. Alvin Toffler and Arthur C. Clarke give us a glimpse into the future. Gloria Steinem and Monique Wittig define the motives and the goals of late twentieth-century feminism. Rachel Carson, Aldo Leopold, and Wallace Stegner ponder the meaning of wilderness in an increasingly populated and industrialized world. These and scores of other thinkers in all major disciplines have added their voices to this new edition of The Great Thoughts.
USA Today praised the first edition of The Great Thoughts as "a browser's delight." The work of a lifetime, brought up-to-date to reflect the global upheaval of the past decade, The Great Thoughts stands alone as an enduring achievement and an invaluable resource. [via] -

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Fleurs Du Mal'Book summary:Maîtriser les connaissances et les outils nécessaires à l'étude d'une Suvre intégrale, voilà l'objectif de cette collection. L'élève doit avoir une vision synthétique de l'Suvre : connaître sa genèse et sa structure, appréhender les personnages à travers leur portrait, leur rôle et leur dimension symbolique, retenir les différents thèmes évoqués. Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage procure des informations d'ordre paratextuel qui enrichissent la culture du lecteur : détails sur la vie de l'auteur et le contexte dans lequel il s'inscrit, remarques sur son style, sur ses écrits théoriques, jugements de critiques contemporains. Enfin, le souci des auteurs est de montrer à l'élève comment ces informations peuvent être utilisées efficacement dans les exercices du bac : des études d'extraits et des sujets d'entretien sont proposés à titre d'exemples. L'intérêt de cette collection est donc de baliser chaque Suvre de sorte que l'élève dispose des éléments indispensables pour réussir l'écrit comme l'oral. L'étude n'est pas exhaustive mais elle a le mérite d'être claire et structurée. --Claire Mazurel [via]

The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerreby Dominic SmithISBN 0743271246 (0-7432-7124-6)
Softcover, Pocket Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Mercury Visions of Louis Daguerre'Book summary:When the vision came, he was in the bathtub. So begins the madness of Louis Daguerre. In 1847, after a decade of using poisonous mercury vapors to cure his daguerreotype images, his mind is plagued by delusions. Believing the world will end within one year, Daguerre creates his "Doomsday List" -- ten items he must photograph before the final day. The list includes a portrait of Isobel Le Fournier, a woman he has always loved but not spoken to in half a century.
In this luminous debut novel, Dominic Smith reinvents the life of one of photography's founding fathers. Louis Daguerre's story is set against the backdrop of a Paris prone to bohemian excess and social unrest. Poets and dandies debate art and style in the cafés while students and rebels fill the garrets with revolutionary talk and gun smoke. It is here, amid this strange and beguiling setting, that Louis Daguerre sets off to capture his doomsday subjects.
Louis enlists the help of the womanizing poet Charles Baudelaire, known to the salon set as the "Prince of Clouds," and a jaded but beautiful prostitute named Pigeon. Together they scour the Paris underworld for images worthy of Daguerre's list. But Louis is also confronted by a chance to reunite with the only woman he's ever loved. Half a lifetime ago, Isobel Le Fournier kissed Louis Daguerre in a wine cave outside of Orléans. The result was a proposal, a rejection, and a misunderstanding that outlasted three kings and an emperor. Now, in the countdown to his apocalypse, Louis wants to understand why he has carried the memory of that kiss for so long.

Softcover, Phaidon Inc Ltd

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Painter of Modern Life and Other Essays'Book summary:Charles Baudelaire (1821-67) was a leading poet and novelist in nineteenth who also devoted a considerable amount of his time to criticism. Indeed it was with a Salon review that he made his literary debut: and it is significant that even at this early stage - in 1845 - he was already articulating the need for a painter who could depict the heroism of modern life. This he was to find in Constantin Guys, whom he later celebrated in the famous essay which provides the title-piece for this collection. Other material in this volume includes important and extended studies of three of Baudelaire's contemporary heroes - Delacroix, Poe and Wagner - and some more general articles, such as those on the theory and practice of caricature, and on what Baudelaire, with intentional scorn, called philosophic art. This last article develops views only touched on in Baudelaire's other writings. This volume is extensively illustrated with reproductions of works referred to in the text and otherwise relevant to it. It provides a survey of some of the most important ideas and individuals in the critical world of the great poet who has been called the father of modern art criticism. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Paris Spleen'Book summary:One of the founding texts of literary modernism.
Set in a modern, urban Paris, the prose pieces in this volume constitute a further exploration of the terrain Baudelaire had covered in his verse masterpiece, The Flowers of Evil: the city and its squalor and inequalities, the pressures of time and mortality, and the liberation provided by the sensual delights of intoxication, art, and women. Published posthumously in 1869, Paris Spleen was a landmark publication in the development of the genre of prose poetrya format which Baudelaire saw as particularly suited for expressing the feelings of uncertainty, flux, and freedom of his ageand one of the founding texts of literary modernism.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Parisian Prowler'Book summary:From Edouard Manet to T. S. Eliot to Jim Morrison, the reach of Charles Baudelaire's influence is beyond estimation. In this prize-winning translation of his no-longer-neglected masterpiece, Baudelaire offers a singular view of 1850s Paris. Evoking a mélange of reactions, these fifty "fables of modern life" take us on various tours led by a flâneur, an incognito stroller.[via]Through day and night, in gleaming cafés and filthy side streets, this alienated yet compassionate esthete muses on the bizarre in the commonplace, the sublime in the mundane. As the work reveals a teeming metropolis on the eve of great change, we see a Paris as contradictory, surprising, and ultimately unknowable as our guide himself. Superbly complemented by twenty-one period illustrations by Delacroix, Callot, Manet, Whistler, Baudelaire himself, and others, The Parisian Prowler is an essential companion to Les Fleurs du Mal and other works by the father of modern poetry. In the preface to this edition, translator Edward K. Kaplan explains how the volume's illustrations act as a graphic subtext to the narrator's observations.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Reptile Room'Book summary:The Reptile Room begins where Lemony Snicket's The Bad Beginning ends... on the road with the three orphaned Baudelaire children as they are whisked away from the evil Count Olaf to face "an unknown fate with some unknown relative." But who is this Dr. Montgomery, their late father's cousin's wife's brother? "Would Dr. Montgomery be a kind person? they wondered. Would he at least be better than Count Olaf? Could he possibly be worse?" He certainly is not worse, and in fact when the Baudelaire children discover that he makes coconut cream cakes, circles the globe looking for snakes to study, and even plans to take them with him on his scientific expedition to Peru, the kids can't believe their luck. And, if you have read the first book in this Series of Unfortunate Events, you won't believe their luck either. Despite the misadventures that befall these interesting, intelligent, resourceful orphans, you can trust that the engaging narrator will make their story--suspenseful and alarming as it is--a true delight. The Wide Window is next, and more are on their way. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson [via]

Selected Poems Baudelaireby Charles Pierre BaudelaireISBN 0140421882 (0-14-042188-2)
Softcover, Penguin USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Selected Poems Baudelaire'Book summary:The poems of Charles Baudelaire are filled with explicit and unsettling imagery, depicting with intensity every day subjects ignored by French literary conventions of his time. 'Tableaux parisiens' portrays the brutal life of Paris's thieves, drunkards and prostitutes amid the debris of factories and poorhouses. In love poems such as 'Le Beau Navire', flights of lyricism entwine with languorous eroticism, while prose poems such as 'La Chambre Double' deal with the agonies of artistic creation and mortality. With their startling combination of harsh reality and sublime beauty, formal ingenuity and revolutionary poetic language, these poems, including a generous selection from Les Fleurs du Mal, show Baudelaire as one of the most influential poets of the nineteenth century.

› Find signed collectible books: 'El Esplin De Paris: Pequenos Poemas En Prosa'Book summary:Con el poema en prosa, CHARLES BAUDELAIRE (1821-1867) quiso explorar una nuevo forma poetica que, alejandose del corse metrico, fuera asimismo capaz de acomodarse a los movimientos liricos del alma, a las ondulaciones del ensueno, a los sobresaltos de la conciencia. Redactadas entre 1852 y 1867, las cincuenta piezas que configuran EL ESPLIN DE PARIS son la cara complementaria, el reverso en prosa de Las flores del mal (L 5534), pues en definitiva ambas obras manan, como apunta en su introduccion Francisco Torres Monreal -responsable asimismo de la traduccion-, de una misma sensibilidad poetica en la que el tedio, la soledad, la colera, la angustia existencial, el demonio, la muerte, se entremezclan indisolublemente con el luminoso Ideal.

L'élève doit avoir une vision synthétique de l'Suvre : connaître sa genèse et sa structure, appréhender les personnages à travers leur portrait, leur rôle et leur dimension symbolique, retenir les différents thèmes évoqués. Par ailleurs, l'ouvrage procure des informations d'ordre paratextuel qui enrichissent la culture du lecteur : détails sur la vie de l'auteur et le contexte dans lequel il s'inscrit, remarques sur son style, sur ses écrits théoriques, jugements de critiques contemporains. Enfin, le souci des auteurs est de montrer à l'élève comment ces informations peuvent être utilisées efficacement dans les exercices du bac : des études d'extraits et des sujets d'entretien sont proposés à titre d'exemples. L'intérêt de cette collection est donc de baliser chaque Suvre de sorte que l'élève dispose des éléments indispensables pour réussir l'écrit comme l'oral. L'étude n'est pas exhaustive mais elle a le mérite d'être claire et structurée. --Claire Mazurel [via]

Les Baudelaire, ce sont trois orphelins: Violette, 14 ans, à l'intelligence scientifique; Klaus, 12 ans, lecteur insatiable; et Prunille, la petite dernière qui mord tout ce qui se passe. A la suite de la mort de leurs parents dans un incendie, ils se retrouvent à la tête d'une immense fortune mais ne pourront en jouir qu'à la majorité de Violette. M. Poe, l'exécuteur testamentaire, banquier austère, se charge de les placer chez divers membres de la famille. C'est ainsi que les trois orphelins vont parcourir le monde avec, sans cesse à leurs trousses, l'odieux et cupide Comte Olaf, qui n'a plus qu'une obsession en tête: mettre la main sur le magot des orphelins Baudelaire. Une saga en 13 tomes plébiscitée dès le premier volume par les lecteurs américains (3 millions d'exemplaires vendus depuis la parution du premier tome aux Etats-Unis en 1999). Dans ce pastiche tragi-comique des mélos anglo-saxons du XIX° siècle, les malheurs succèdent aux malheurs. Le ton reste cependant celui de l'aventure, du suspense et de l'humour en toutes circonstances. Car l'auteur cultive l'ironie et un humour pince-sans-rire à l'anglaise: un jeu auquel se prend le lecteur. [via]
