An American Tragedyby Theodore Dreiser, Thomas P. RiggioISBN 1931082316 (1-931082-31-6)
Hardcover, Penguin USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'An American Tragedy'Book summary:A tremendous bestseller when it was published in 1925, An American Tragedy is the culmination of Theodore Dreiser's elementally powerful fictional art. Taking as his point of departure a notorious murder case of 1910, Dreiser immersed himself in the social background of the crime to produce a book that is both a remarkable work of reportage and a monumental study of character. Few novels have undertaken to track so relentlessly the process by which an ordinary young man becomes capable of committing a ruthless murder, and the further process by which social and political forces come into play after his arrest.
In Clyde Griffiths, the impoverished, restless offspring of a family of street preachers, Dreiser created an unforgettable portrait of a man whose circumstances and dreams of self-betterment conspire to pull him toward an act of unforgivable violence. Around Clyde, Dreiser builds an extraordinarily detailed fictional portrait of early twentieth-century America, its religious and sexual hypocrisies, its economic pressures, its political corruption. The sheer prophetic amplitude of his bitter truth-telling, in idiosyncratic prose of uncanny expressive power, continues to mark Dreiser as a crucially important American writer. An American Tragedy, the great achievement of his later years, is a work of mythic force, at once brutal and heartbreaking. [via]More editions of An American Tragedy:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Bertie and the Seven Bodies'Book summary:The eldest son of Queen Victoria, Bertie will one day be King Edward VII. For the moment, though, his primary responsibility is to enjoy himself, a task at which he excels bedding society beauties, betting on sporting events, tormenting his long-suffering wife, and taking his royal bulk off to other peoples country estates, there to shoot things, eat enormous meals, and goose the occasional serving maid. It is at just such an estate that the story unfolds, though this is no ordinary shooting-party. The guest-list, of course, is glittering, featuring a famous lady explorer, a beautiful actress, and several gentlemen known to be good with guns. Unfortunately, the guest-list dwindles rapidly, as one member after another turns up dead, but Bertie greets the murders with a certain delight, as they allow him to exercise his passion for amateur sleuthing (a task at which he doesnt particularly excel). Lovesey wrote Seven Bodies as an homage to Agatha Christie, but he laced his classically structured puzzle with his own sly, irresistible wit, gleefully poking fun at the pomposities of privilege. A Prince of Wales Mystery [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Club Dumas'Book summary:Lucas Corso is a bibliophilic mercenary in the middle to two searches. He needs to prove if a manuscript of The Three Musketeers is genuine. He must also find the solution to the enigma of a diabolic book, burned with the printer in 1667, and of which only two other copies are known. The mystery leads him from the Holy Office to books condemned by the Vatican; from dusty old bookstores to the most select libraries owned by important international collectors.
Description in Spanish: Descifrar el misterio de un libro que invoca al demonio, del que sólo quedan tres ejemplares en el mundo, se convirtió para Lucas Corso, comprador de libros antiguos por encargo, en peligrosa aventura. Pero por si esto fuera poco, un capítulo manuscrito de los tres mosqueteros de Alejandro Dumas entra en escena y se entremezclan historias para dar origen a un apasionante thriller al mejor estilo de Arturo Pérez-Reverte. "El club Dumas" (1993), una de las novelas más emblemáticas del autor, constituye un modelo ejemplar de utilización de los más genuinos ingredientes de la novela de intriga, de investigación criminal, ambientación histórica y ficción culturalista, además de ser un homenaje al maestro del folletín decimonónico, Alejandro Dumas. Esta novela ha sido llevada a la gran pantalla por Roman Polanski con el título "La novena puerta". [via]

Crime and Punishmentby Fyodor DostoyevskyISBN 3829009046 (3-8290-0904-6)
Hardcover, Konemann
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Crime and Punishment'Book summary:The talented Alex Jennings creates an atmosphere of gripping psychological tension and brings a variety of characters to life in this new audio edition of a crime classic. When the student Raskolnikov puts his philosophical theory to the ultimate test of murder, a tragic tale of suffering and redemption unfolds in the dismal setting of the slums of czarist, prerevolutionary St. Petersburg. While Jennings's adept repertoire of British accents works to demonstrate the varying classes of characters, it occasionally distracts the listener from the Russian setting. However, Dostoyevsky's rendering of 18th-century Russia emerges unscathed, bringing the dark pathos (such as wretched poverty and rampant suffering) to life.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Crimen Y Castigo / Crime and Punishment'Book summary:Una visita de Balzac a San Petersburgo le sugirio al joven alferez ingeniero Fiodor Dostoievski la idea de traducir «Eugenie Grandet». La traduccion hizo mucho mas que sacarle de un apuro economico; desperto su fiebre creativa y su vocacion. Entonces, decidio solicitar la excedencia y dedicarse a la literatura.Obra realmente genial, «Crimen y castigo» es una de las mas grandes creaciones de la literatura mundial. Todo el dolor humano palpita y nos contempla desde los estremecedores cuadros de miseria, de vejacion personal, de soledad y de asfixia moral propios de una gran ciudad. Contradiciendo su propia teoria de que no existen motivos sociales para justificar el crimen, se diria que Dostoievski ha puesto en esta novela todo su afan de acumular y sacar a la luz precisamente las circunstancias sociales que, a cada paso, empujan a la persona a llegar al crimen, aunque sea para afirmar su yo y probarse a si mismo que es un hombre.

But with the murder of the commune's leaders, the rumor-mill goes into overdrive. It's the most exciting thing to happen in Compton Dando since three boys burned down the bus shelter. In trying to solve those murders, Chief Inspector Barnaby is less excited than exasperated. The residents of the Windhorse commune may have been seeking the simple life, but they re all concealing complicated pasts - or past lives. As in Death of a Hollow Man, Graham is at her most gleeful when skewering the eccentricities of a closed community, and no one survives unscathed. [via]

Quand pour lui sonne le glas, ses trois ex-femmes et ses six enfants se frottent les mains... Mais le vieillard a déshérité tout ce beau monde au profit d'une septième enfant adultérine, Rachel. Problème : celle qui devient potentiellement une des femmes les plus riches du monde est en mission humanitaire au Pantanal, Brésil, une des régions les plus reculées du globe. Nate O'Riley, un avocat alcoolique et suicidaire est envoyé à sa recherche.
Sur le thème "l'argent rend fou, l'alcool aussi", John Grisham livre un nouveau best-seller. A mi-chemin entre le roman d'aventures et ses habituels thrillers inspirés de son expérience d'avocat, l'auteur de L'affaire Pélican tisse la toile d'un récit passionnant, marqué par les délires des familles légitimes et surtout par les personnalités de l'avocat alcoolique et de l'héritière, la seule justement à être désintéressée ! La description du Pantanal est hallucinante. --Bruno Ménard [via]

Hardcover, Kodansha Amer Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Out'Book summary:OUT was awarded the Grand Prix of the Mystery Writers of Japan in 1997-the Asian equivalent of an Edgar.
It is a dynamic example of the work of a new breed of Asian women writers excelling in the smart, hard-nosed, well-written, and realistically plotted mystery novel. Kirino' crime story can stand comparison with the work of other top-notch Western women writers in this genre, like Sarah Paretsky and Ruth Rendell.
The story-though a bare summary makes it seem merely brutal and bloodthirsty, when it is much more than that-focuses on four women who work together in a lunch-box factory in the suburbs of Tokyo. One of them suffers from spouse abuse and, unable to take it any longer, murders her husband and appeals to her co-workers to help her dispose of the corpse. One of these friends---the brain behind the coverup-after cutting up the body in the bathroom of her house, has the other two dump it as garbage. The money from the man's life insurance is then divided among them. But this is only the beginning. The successful, unpremeditated crime and the rewards it brings are the seed of other, premeditated schemes, escalating from one localized use of violence to a rash of similar deeds, with unpredictable outcomes for the women behind them.
As a study in the psychology of domestic repression and the dynamics of violent crime, OUT works on several levels, gripping the reader from its smoldering beginning to the fireburst of its finale.
In hardcover in its original language it sold over 300,000 copies, and a movie version will have its premiere in Tokyo at the end of 2002, with international distribution under discussion. [via]More editions of Out:

Hardcover, Koenemann Verlagsgesellschaft
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'Book summary:A lush, cautionary tale of a life of vileness and deception or a loving portrait of the aesthetic impulse run rampant? Why not both? After Basil Hallward paints a beautiful, young man's portrait, his subject's frivolous wish that the picture change and he remain the same comes true. Dorian Gray's picture grows aged and corrupt while he continues to appear fresh and innocent. After he kills a young woman, "as surely as if I had cut her little throat with a knife", Dorian Gray is surprised to find no difference in his vision or surroundings. "The roses are not less lovely for all that. The birds sing just as happily in my garden."
As Hallward tries to make sense of his creation, his epigram-happy friend Lord Henry Wotton encourages Dorian in his sensual quest with any number of Wildean paradoxes, including the delightful "When we are happy we are always good, but when we are good we are not always happy." But despite its many languorous pleasures, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an imperfect work. Compared to the two (voyeuristic) older men, Dorian is a bore, and his search for ever new sensations far less fun than the novel's drawing-room discussions. Even more oddly, the moral message of the novel contradicts many of Wilde's supposed aims, not least "no artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style." Nonetheless, the glamour boy gets his just deserts. And Wilde, defending Dorian Gray, had it both ways: "All excess, as well as all renunciation, brings its own punishment." [via]

He needs to prove if a manuscript of The Three Musketeers is genuine. He must also find the solution to the enigma of a diabolic book, burned at the printers in 1667 by the Holy office and condemned by the Vatican; only two other copies are known.

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Reina del Sur'Book summary:Derived from factual evidence, Pérez-Reverte brings us a surprising novel with an interesting twist. This time, the hero is a woman named Teresa Mendoza who is nicknamed by journalists as "The Queen of the South" and "The Mexican" by the authorities of three continents.
Teresa narrates her story as it unfolds in Mexico over twelve years ago when she was the girlfriend of a pilot employed by drug lords. She did not know how to read nor write, however, after her boyfriend is murdered, she began creating an empire from nothing in the male-dominated world of drug trafficking. Henceforth, the journey begins as she grows her business by conducting deals with the mafias from Spain, France, Italy and Russia.
Descripción en Español:
La más esperada novela de Arturo Pérez-Reverte podría no haber llegado nunca a las librerías. La apasionante historia con la que ratifica sus innegables dotes literarias y un magistral dominio de las técnicas narrativas quizá pudiera haberse resumido en tres minutos de música y palabras. Entonces se habría convertido en uno de los muchos corridos que cantan las "gestas" de los narcotraficantes mexicanos. Pero el escritor español más aclamado dentro y fuera de las fronteras españolas decidió alumbrar una obra inolvidable y original: un corrido de papel impreso y quinientas páginas donde relata las aventuras de una mujer legendaria: Teresa Mendoza, apodada la Reina del Sur por los periodistas y la Mejicana por los cuerpos de seguridad de tres continentes.
Al ritmo de esta peculiar canción, los lectores se van a embarcar en un viaje de ida y vuelta que dura doce años y que comienza en Culiacán, ciudad del estado mexicano de Sinaloa donde morir con violencia es morir de muerte natural, cuando la hasta entonces insignificante novia de un piloto a sueldo del cártel de Juárez se entera de que han asesinado a su hombre. Antes de saldar viejas cuentas, esta mujer va a emprender una arriesgada y fulgurante ascensión: levantará un imperio clandestino que convertirá el Estrecho de Gibraltar en la gran puerta de entrada de cocaína para el sur de Europa.
Para seguir los pasos de Teresa Mendoza y, sobre todo, para averiguar los misterios que la rodean, Arturo Pérez-Reverte ha trazado dos sendas narrativas que se alternan y convergen.
En una de ellas, se relata cronológicamente la peligrosa y fascinante vida de la protagonista; para conseguirlo, Arturo Pérez-Reverte ha superado dos retos: adoptar el punto de vista narrativo de una mujer y dotarla de una voz única, ya que Teresa Mendoza al principio apenas sabe leer y además se expresa en argot sinaloense.
En la otra, un escritor cuyo nombre nunca sabremos aunque revele: "Ya no soy reportero. Ahora me lo invento todo y no bajo de las cuatrocientas páginas" sigue a lo largo de ocho meses las huellas dejadas en doce años por Teresa Mendoza en México, el Norte de África y el Sur de España. Ese narrador, tras hablar con quienes la conocieron, odiaron y quisieron, es quien asegura que ha escrito un corrido.
Esta estructura narrativa, dividida en 17 capítulos encabezados por un título de canción, en modo alguno es gratuita. Al contrario, permite que el lector quede atrapado por el innegable interés que tienen las aventuras del personaje retratado Teresa Mendoza es una heroína tan poco convencional como atractiva y por las eficaces pesquisas que efectúa el narrador para retratarlo.
Gracias a esta doble perspectiva y a una ingente y precisa labor de documentación, Arturo Pérez-Reverte nos sumerge en un mundo que gira según reglas propias e impenetrables, donde hay traidores y corruptos a los dos márgenes de la justicia y donde la única ley que no se viola es la de la oferta y la demanda: el mundo de los narcotraficantes. Y, eso sí, sin caer en la tentación de caer en meras descripciones, sino poniendo al servicio de la trama, de una acción en muchos casos trepidante, sus conocimientos sobre los mercaderes de droga.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Schnee, Der Auf Zedern Fallt'Book summary:David Guterson ist ein junger amerikanischer Autor, der gleich mit seinem ersten Roman einen Volltreffer gelandet hat. Schauplatz der Handlung ist eine kleine Insel im Puget Sound, an der Nordwestküste der USA. Ganz nebenbei bemerkt, auch David Guterson lebt dort mit seiner Familie.
Den Rahmen des Romans bildet eine Gerichtsverhandlung. Es ist das Jahr 1954 und der Lachsfischer Kabuo, japanischer Abstammung, ist des Mordes angeklagt. Er soll seinen früheren Freund Carl Heine umgebracht haben. Der Journalist Ishmael Chambers ist Beobachter und Berichterstatter des Prozeßverlaufs. Er kennt die beiden Hauptpersonen schon sein ganzes Leben.
Mit der heutigen Frau des Angeklagten verbindet ihn eine Jugendliebe, doch der Zweite Weltkrieg hat die ehemaligen Freunde auseinandergerissen. Die Japaner auf der Insel, die sich als Amerikaner fühlten und auf der Seite der Amerikaner in den Krieg ziehen wollten, wurden von diesen zurückgewiesen und in Internierungslager gebracht. Auch neun Jahre nach Kriegsende sind die damals geschlagenen Wunden noch nicht vernarbt.
David Guterson beschreibt das schwierige Verhältnis zwischen Amerikanern und Japanern mit sehr leisen Tönen, bedächtig, behutsam und informativ. Der Roman ist kein Reißer und verlangt das Zuhören, das genaue Hinhören. Das Erzähltempo gleicht den Schneeflocken, die langsam auf die Zedern außerhalb des Gerichtssaals herabgleiten. --Manuela Haselberger [via]
