› Find signed collectible books: 'About a Boy'Book summary:Warum Nick Hornby seinen neuen Roman About a Boy genannt hat, ist eigentlich am Ende der Lektüre nicht ganz klar, denn eigentlich beschreibt er zwei Jungs. Der eine, Will, ist zwar schon 35 Jahre alt und Marcus erst 12. Doch Will ist in seiner Art, sich vor Verantwortung zu drücken und andere für seine Zwecke zu benutzen kaum älter als Marcus. Wie die beiden sich fanden und warum sie sich wunderbar ergänzen, erzählt Nick Hornby in einer rasanten Geschichte.
Will hat es nicht nötig zu arbeiten, er kann ganz gut von den geerbten Tantiemen seines Vaters leben und mit festen Freundschaften zu Frauen oder gar die Gründung einer Familie hat er herzlich wenig am Hut. Am meisten haßt er es, wenn wieder einmal eine Beziehung tränenreich zu Ende geht. Bis er auf einen genialen Einfall kommt. Er müßte sich einfach um die schmählich vernachlässigten, alleinerziehenden Frauen kümmern. Es muß Tausende von ihnen überall in London geben, -- "alleinerziehende Mütter, intelligente, attraktive, willige Frauen", die "tollen Sex, reichlich Streicheleinheiten fürs Ego, Vaterschaft auf Zeit ohne Tränen und eine Trennung ohne Schuldgefühle -- was konnte ein Mann sich Besseres wünschen?" So beginnt Nicks Karriere als Seriensoftie.
In seiner Rolle als Will, der Erlöser, trifft er Marcus und seine Mutter. Sie gefällt ihm auf Anhieb ganz gut, doch Marcus ist ganz und gar nicht der Zwölfjährige, wie ihn sich Will vorgestellt hat. Sein Musikgeschmack ist bei Joni Mitchell stehen geblieben, von Curt Cobain hat er keine Ahnung, er trägt die völlig verkehrten Schuhe, von Turnschuhen hat er noch nicht gehört, und vor allem nicht davon, daß es darum geht, die Richtigen zu tragen. Sein Haarschnitt ist eher schlicht und von seinen Hosen ganz zu Schweigen. Für Marcus ist das Leben in seiner Klasse, wie man sich vorstellen kann, nicht ganz leicht. Und nachdem er sich auch noch in das schönste Mädchen der Schule verliebt hat, muß ihm Will schleunigst auf die Sprünge helfen. Sonst wird da nichts Vernünftiges draus.
Die Mutter von Marcus ist zwar attraktiv, doch in einer depressiven Stimmung unternimmt sie einen Selbstmordversuch. Ehe er sich versieht hat Will plötzlich, nachdem er wirklich nur an gutem Sex und etwas Unterhaltung interessiert war, eine ganz Menge Probleme am Hals, die sich nicht einfach ignorieren lassen, wenn er sich nur lange genug nicht rührt.
About A Boy handelt vom Erwachsenwerden zweier ganz unterschiedlicher Männer. Ihre Schwierigkeiten dabei schildert der Engländer Nick Hornby, der schon mit High Fidelity und Fever Pich -- Ballfieber große Erfolge gelandet hat, in einem unangestrengten, schnodderigen Ton. Er geht sein Thema locker an, doch immer wieder werden seine beiden Helden vom Ernst des Alltags eingeholt. Mitten in der schönsten Slapstick-Einlage bleibt dabei dem Leser das Lachen im Halse stecken. Gut geschriebene Unterhaltung. --Manuela Haselberger [via]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finnby Mark TwainISBN 1598184911 (1-59818-491-1)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'Book summary:A seminal work of American Literature that still commands deep praise and still elicits controversy, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is essential to the understanding of the American soul. The recent discovery of the first half of Twain's manuscript, long thought lost, made front-page news. And this unprecedented edition, which contains for the first time omitted episodes and other variations present in the first half of the handwritten manuscript, as well as facsimile reproductions of thirty manuscript pages, is indispensable to a full understanding of the novel. The changes, deletions, and additions made in the first half of the manuscript indicate that Mark Twain frequently checked his impulse to write an even darker, more confrontational book than the one he finally published.

La vida en la cárcel es dura. Pero siempre queda un rayo de esperanza si sabes que, a la salida, te espera una mujer que te ama, un amigo que te quiere, un trabajo que adoras. . .Todo eso es lo que quiere Sombra, que está a punto de salir de la cárcel. . .Pero un día le comunican que su mujer y su mejor amigo han muerto en un accidente de coche. Entonces, contratado por un extraño anciano experto en timos y estafas que responde al nombre de Wednesday, Sombra empieza un interminable viaje a lo largo y ancho de América, perseguido por el espíritu de su esposa, en el que descubre el límite entre lo humano y los divino, y que las reglas que rigen el mundo de los hombres no son las mismas con las que lose dioses conducen el mundo.
Neil Gaiman vuelve con American Gods a dar lo major de sí mismo y crea una historia en la que dioses y héroes se dan la mano, en la que el destino de la misma alma de Norteamérica está en juego. Con American Gods, Neil Gaiman se ha consagrado como uno autores de terror más importantes del panorama internacional, se ha colocado en los primeros puestos de las listas de los más vendidos de todo el mundo y ha ganado el premio Hugo a Mejor Novela de Ciencia Ficción y el premio Stoker a Mejor Novela de Terror.
Amazon.com's Best of 2001 American Gods is Neil Gaiman's best and most ambitious novel yet, a scary, strange, and hallucinogenic road-trip story wrapped around a deep examination of the American spirit. Gaiman tackles everything from the onslaught of the information age to the meaning of death, but he doesn't sacrifice the razor-sharp plotting and narrative style he's been delivering since his Sandman days.
Shadow gets out of prison early when his wife is killed in a car crash. At a loss, he takes up with a mysterious character called Wednesday, who is much more than he appears. In fact, Wednesday is an old god, once known as Odin the All-father, who is roaming America rounding up his forgotten fellows in preparation for an epic battle against the upstart deities of the Internet, credit cards, television, and all that is wired. Shadow agrees to help Wednesday, and they whirl through a psycho-spiritual storm that becomes all too real in its manifestations. For instance, Shadow's dead wife Laura keeps showing up, and not just as a ghost--the difficulty of their continuing relationship is by turns grim and darkly funny, just like the rest of the book.
Armed only with some coin tricks and a sense of purpose, Shadow travels through, around, and underneath the visible surface of things, digging up all the powerful myths Americans brought with them in their journeys to this land as well as the ones that were already here. Shadow's road story is the heart of the novel, and it's here that Gaiman offers up the details that make this such a cinematic book--the distinctly American foods and diversions, the bizarre roadside attractions, the decrepit gods reduced to shell games and prostitution. "This is a bad land for Gods," says Shadow.
More than a tourist in America, but not a native, Neil Gaiman offers an outside-in and inside-out perspective on the soul and spirituality of the country--our obsessions with money and power, our jumbled religious heritage and its societal outcomes, and the millennial decisions we face about what's real and what's not. --Therese Littleton --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Anne of Green Gables'Book summary:When Marilla Cuthbert's brother, Matthew, returns home to Green Gables with a chatty redheaded orphan girl, Marilla exclaims, "But we asked for a boy. We have no use for a girl." It's not long, though, before the Cuthberts can't imagine how they could ever do without young Anne of Green Gables--but not for the original reasons they sought an orphan. Somewhere between the time Anne "confesses" to losing Marilla's amethyst pin (which she never took) in hopes of being allowed to go to a picnic, and when Anne accidentally dyes her hated carrot-red hair green, Marilla says to Matthew, "One thing's for certain, no house that Anne's in will ever be dull." And no book that she's in will be, either. This adapted version of the classic, Anne of Green Gables, introduces younger readers to the irrepressible heroine of L.M. Montgomery's many stories. Adapter M.C. Helldorfer includes only a few of Anne's mirthful and poignant adventures, yet manages to capture the freshness of one of children's literature's spunkiest, most beloved characters. There's just enough to make beginning readers want more--luckily, there's a lot more in the originals! Illustrator Ellen Beier creates vibrant pictures to portray the beauty of the land around Green Gables and the spirited nature of Anne herself. (Ages 5 to 8) --Emilie Coulter [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Captured Dreams'Book summary:Anita Blake may be small and young, but vampires call her the Executioner. Anita is a necromancer and vampire hunter in a time when vampires are protected by law--as long as they don't get too nasty. Now someone's killing innocent vampires and Anita agrees--with a bit of vampiric arm-twisting--to help figure out who and why.
Trust is a luxury Anita can't afford when her allies aren't human. The city's most powerful vampire, Nikolaos, is 1,000 years old and looks like a 10-year-old girl. The second most powerful vampire, Jean-Claude, is interested in more than just Anita's professional talents, but the feisty necromancer isn't playing along--yet. This popular series has a wild energy and humor, and some very appealing characters--both dead and alive. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol'Book summary:Dust jacket notes: "This is the first book edition of a remarkable set of 45 lost wood engravings from 1861 by Gustave Dore, the great French illustrator. Recently discovered in an obscure old French magazine, they somehow eluded the grasp of scholars for the last 135 years. Apparently, even Charles Dickens did not know of their existence. They are by far the largest set of Victorian engravings for the story, and they include the first drawing ever made of Tiny Tim! But this beautiful Christmas gift book is much more than that. It also contains the full text of A Christmas Carol, plus all the other early sets of illustrations for the story (by Leech, Phiz, Abbey, Barnard, etc.) making a total of nearly 200 Victorian engravings! The dust jacket front cover features several of the lost engravings, colorized by artist Mike Nicastre. A scholarly introduction by Dan Malan, who discovered this set of lost engravings while writing a major reference work on Dore, explores the significance of the lost engravings and the relationship between Dickens and Dore, with lists of their illustrated editions...."

› Find signed collectible books: 'I Capture the Castle'Book summary:Seventeen-year-old Cassandra Mortmain wants to become a writer. Trouble is, she's the daughter of a once-famous author with a severe case of writer's block. Her family--beautiful sister Rose, brooding father James, ethereal stepmother Topaz--is barely scraping by in a crumbling English castle they leased when times were good. Now there's very little furniture, hardly any food, and just a few pages of notebook paper left to write on. Bravely making the best of things, Cassandra gets hold of a journal and begins her literary apprenticeship by refusing to face the facts. She writes, "I have just remarked to Rose that our situation is really rather romantic, two girls in this strange and lonely house. She replied that she saw nothing romantic about being shut up in a crumbling ruin surrounded by a sea of mud."
Rose longs for suitors and new tea dresses while Cassandra scorns romance: "I know all about the facts of life. And I don't think much of them." But romantic isolation comes to an end both for the family and for Cassandra's heart when the wealthy, adventurous Cotton family takes over the nearby estate. Cassandra is a witty, pensive, observant heroine, just the right voice for chronicling the perilous cusp of adulthood. Some people have compared I Capture the Castle to the novels of Jane Austen, and it's just as well-plotted and witty. But the Mortmains are more bohemian--as much like the Addams Family as like any of Austen's characters. Dodie Smith, author of 101 Dalmations, wrote this novel in 1948. And though the story is set in the 1930s, it still feels fresh, and well deserves its reputation as a modern classic. --Maria Dolan [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Little Prince'Book summary:Antoine de Saint-Exupéry first published The Little Prince in 1943, only a year before his Lockheed P-38 vanished over the Mediterranean during a reconnaissance mission. More than a half century later, this fable of love and loneliness has lost none of its power. The narrator is a downed pilot in the Sahara Desert, frantically trying to repair his wrecked plane. His efforts are interrupted one day by the apparition of a little, well, prince, who asks him to draw a sheep. "In the face of an overpowering mystery, you don't dare disobey," the narrator recalls. "Absurd as it seemed, a thousand miles from all inhabited regions and in danger of death, I took a scrap of paper and a pen out of my pocket." And so begins their dialogue, which stretches the narrator's imagination in all sorts of surprising, childlike directions.
The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but also such monuments of postmodern whimsy as Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities. And despite his tone of gentle bemusement, Saint-Exupéry pulls off some fine satiric touches, too. There's the king, for example, who commands the Little Prince to function as a one-man (or one-boy) judiciary:
I have good reason to believe that there is an old rat living somewhere on my planet. I hear him at night. You could judge that old rat. From time to time you will condemn him to death. That way his life will depend on your justice. But you'll pardon him each time for economy's sake. There's only one rat.
The author pokes similar fun at a businessman, a geographer, and a lamplighter, all of whom signify some futile aspect of adult existence. Yet his tale is ultimately a tender one--a heartfelt exposition of sadness and solitude, which never turns into Peter Pan-style treacle. Such delicacy of tone can present real headaches for a translator, and in her 1943 translation, Katherine Woods sometimes wandered off the mark, giving the text a slightly wooden or didactic accent. Happily, Richard Howard (who did a fine nip-and-tuck job on Stendhal's The Charterhouse of Parma in 1999) has streamlined and simplified to wonderful effect. The result is a new and improved version of an indestructible classic, which also restores the original artwork to full color. "Trying to be witty," we're told at one point, "leads to lying, more or less." But Saint-Exupéry's drawings offer a handy rebuttal: they're fresh, funny, and like the book itself, rigorously truthful. --James Marcus [via]More editions of The Little Prince:

The Metamorphosesby OvidISBN 1853267902 (1-85326-790-2)
Softcover, Wordsworth Edition
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Metamorphoses'Book summary:Ovid's Metamorphoses, completed around AD8, shows the presence and prevalence of change in the world. Beginning with chaos and creation, Ovid embraces a vast array of mythological tales within his theme of transformation. Phaeton, Narcissus, Pyramus and Thisbe, Daedalus and Icarus are only a few of the most famous. Passing through these to the serio-comic retellings of the Trojan War, the travels of Aeneas, and the events of Roman history down to Ovid's own times, his readers find infinite variety in a work that is, by turns, funny, pathetic and violent - always unpredictable and always engrossing. John Dryden's translations are featured in this collaborative Metamorphoses, first issued in 1717, to which eighteen translators contributed under the editorship of Sir Samuel Garth. Composed in a poetic idiom well suited to the satiric and mock-heroic aspects of this work, this is the only translation that can match Ovid's wit and stylistic sophistication. [via]

A Midsummer Night's Dreamby William ShakespeareISBN 1853260304 (1-85326-030-4)
Softcover, Wordsworth Editions Ltd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'Book summary:Traditionally seen as one of Shakespeare's more romantic and enchanting plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream has more recently been seen as a darker and more sinister play than generations of schoolchildren have ever imagined. The play has usually been seen as a comical tale and confused identities and the fickleness of youthful love, as the young lovers, Lysander, Hermia, Demetrius and Helena escape parental control and the "sharp Athenian law" of their elders by eloping into the forest outside the city. Unfortunately they stumble into civil war in fairyland, where King Oberon and Queen Titania fight over possession of a beautiful young Indian "changeling" boy. The appearance of the "rude mechanicals", a group of Athenian workers, including the weaver Nick Bottom, compounds the confusion. Chaos, confusion and "shaping fantasies" reign before the final settlement of the play, but underneath all the hilarity many critics have discerned more ambivalent attitudes towards coercive parental control, bestial sexuality and the destructive power of desire. These approaches in no way detract from the exquisite lyricism of many sections of the play, but make it a more complex and effective comedy than has often been appreciated. --Jerry Brotton [via]

Northanger Abbeyby Jane AustenISBN 1596880473 (1-59688-047-3)
Softcover, Large Print Book Co

› Find signed collectible books: 'Northanger Abbey'Book summary:Though Northanger Abbey is one of Jane Austen's earliest novels, it was not published until after her death--well after she'd established her reputation with works such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. Of all her novels, this one is the most explicitly literary in that it is primarily concerned with books and with readers. In it, Austen skewers the novelistic excesses of her day made popular in such 18th-century Gothic potboilers as Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho. Decrepit castles, locked rooms, mysterious chests, cryptic notes, and tyrannical fathers all figure into Northanger Abbey, but with a decidedly satirical twist. Consider Austen's introduction of her heroine: we are told on the very first page that "no one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine." The author goes on to explain that Miss Morland's father is a clergyman with "a considerable independence, besides two good livings--and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters." Furthermore, her mother does not die giving birth to her, and Catherine herself, far from engaging in "the more heroic enjoyments of infancy, nursing a dormouse, feeding a canary-bird, or watering a rose-bush" vastly prefers playing cricket with her brothers to any girlish pastimes.
Catherine grows up to be a passably pretty girl and is invited to spend a few weeks in Bath with a family friend. While there she meets Henry Tilney and his sister Eleanor, who invite her to visit their family estate, Northanger Abbey. Once there, Austen amuses herself and us as Catherine, a great reader of Gothic romances, allows her imagination to run wild, finding dreadful portents in the most wonderfully prosaic events. But Austen is after something more than mere parody; she uses her rapier wit to mock not only the essential silliness of "horrid" novels, but to expose the even more horrid workings of polite society, for nothing Catherine imagines could possibly rival the hypocrisy she experiences at the hands of her supposed friends. In many respects Northanger Abbey is the most lighthearted of Jane Austen's novels, yet at its core is a serious, unsentimental commentary on love and marriage, 19th-century British style. --Alix Wilber [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Robinson Crusoe'Book summary:With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury From its first publication in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been printed in over 700 editions. It has inspired almost every conceivable kind of imitation and variation, and been the subject of plays, opera, cartoons, and computer games. The character of Crusoe has entered the consciousness of each succeeding generation as readers add their own interpretation to the adventures so thrillingly 'recorded' by Defoe. Praised by eminent figures such as Coleridge, Rousseau and Wordsworth, this perennially popular book was cited by Karl Marx in Das Kapital to illustrate economic theory. However it is readers of all ages over the last 280 years who have given Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of adventure. [via]

Surtout quand de surcroît cette mère végétarienne n'écoute que des tubes des années soixante-dix, vous attife de vêtements ringards et que les durs de l'école ne jurent que par le hip-hop. Quant à Will, la trentaine, branché, riche, oisif et fier collectionneur d'amours épisodiques, il a du mal à trouver sa place dans la société. Malgré leur méfiance réciproque, l'homme et l'enfant que tout oppose vont finir par se trouver et s'épauler pour affronter l'adolescence et des liens sociaux distendus. Cette rencontre paradoxale entre un mâle solitaire prototype de l'homme moderne ! et un gosse tendre et marginal est magistralement orchestrée par Nick Hornby. Une histoire de parents célibataires, d'enfants solitaires, de fringues, de foot et de musique. Après les succès de Haute fidélité et Carton jaune, l'auteur signe là son livre le plus accompli. Le ton est sarcastique et drôle, les situations d'un réalisme désarmant et les émotions sincères. C'est enfin un regard d'une grande lucidité sur les désordres amoureux de cette fin de siècle. --Stellio Paris [via]

Tout ce monde est entassé dans deux pièces seulement car la famille de Charlie est très pauvre. Lorsque son papa perd son travail, la situation devient dramatique, ils meurent presque de faim. Mais dans la ville où ils demeurent, il y a une mystérieuse chocolaterie : nul n'y entre ni n'en sort jamais. Son propriétaire, Mr Wonka, lance un grand concours : les cinq gagnants pourront visiter l'usine et gagner des sucreries pour toute leur vie. Mais les enfants mal élevés doivent se méfier : ils seront punis par où ils auront péché.
C'est à une merveilleuse exploration que nous convie Roald Dahl, à l'intérieur d'une usine fabuleuse qui recèle absolument tout ce dont n'importe quel gourmand peut rêver et aussi d'autres choses qu'il n'aurait pas osé imaginer : des machines qui fabriquent des bonbons inusables ou des chewing-gums-repas, des cascades de chocolat, des caramels qui font pousser les cheveux... Ce roman fantastique plein de saveurs est à déguster comme un bonbon. C'est en même temps un conte moral où les méchants sont punis et l'injustice réparée.

L'Alchimiste est le récit d'une quête, celle de Santiago, un jeune berger andalou parti à la recherche d'un trésor enfoui au pied des Pyramides. Dans le désert, initié par l'Alchimiste, il apprendra à écouter son coeur, à lire les signes du destin et, par-dessus tout, à aller au bout de son rêve. Destiné à l'enfant que chaque être cache en soi, L'Alchimiste est un merveilleux conte philosophique, que l'on compare souvent au Petit Prince, de Saint-Exupéry, et à Jonathan Livingston le Goéland, de Richard Bach. Le levant s'était mis à souffler. Il amenait les Maures sans doute, mais il apportait aussi l'odeur du désert. Il apportait la sueur et les songes des hommes qui étaient partis en quête de l'Inconnu, en quête d'or, d'aventures, et de pyramides. Alors le jeune berger andalou se prit à envier la liberté du vent et comprit qu'il pourrait, comme lui, traverser les pays et trouver sa Légende personnelle. Destiné à l'enfant que chaque être cache en lui, L'Alchimiste est un merveilleux conte philosophique qui nous guide sur la voie d'un trésor oublié. Et des terres noires andalouses aux mystères de l'Egypte, déchiffrant les augures du ciel, le lecteur trouvera lui aussi le secret de l'Alchimie. [via]
