Art: The Critics Choice 150 Masterpieces of Western Art Selected and Defined by the Expertsby Marina Vaizey, John RussellISBN 0823002608 (0-8230-0260-8)
Hardcover, Watson-Guptill Pubns

› Find signed collectible books: 'Art: The Critics Choice 150 Masterpieces of Western Art Selected and Defined by the Experts'Book summary:Most general surveys of the history of Western art suffer from one main problem: their author invariably encounters some (or usually many) areas of art history of which he knows relatively little. With the exception of particularly groundbreaking studies such as E.H. Gombrich's The Story of Art, this invariably provides a lopsided perspective on the development of artistic creation through the ages. Marina Vaizey's edited collection Art: The Critics' Choice provides a simple but elegant solution to the problem: a sumptuously produced history of art in 10 chapters that draws on experts in the field of every particular historical period under consideration. Stretching from "Graeco-Roman and Early Christian Art" through the Renaissance, the Baroque, and the 19th century to "The Late Twentieth Century," the collection offers "scholarly snapshots of nearly 2,000 years of Western art."
Vaizey's brief to her contributors was clear and concise, asking "experts from many different fields of art history--writers, critics, directors of art galleries, curators and academics--to choose the 15 works from their specialist period that have meant the most to them, for reasons both subjective and objective." Each chapter provides a general overview of the period before offering a close analysis of the chosen works, which are all beautifully reproduced in color. The results are surprisingly rich and varied, although at times controversial. The subjective choices of the experts are often striking in their omissions, so there is no place for the likes of Vermeer or Braque, and many paintings chosen as representative of the Old Masters appear idiosyncratic to say the least. However, the accounts of the paintings are often very persuasive and illuminating, and part of the interest of the 150 chosen works is just why one image or artist has been chosen over another. There remains an embarrassment of riches throughout this collection for even the most grudging of art historians. --Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk [via]

The Castleby David Fishelson, Max Brod, Aaron LeichterISBN 082221900X (0-8222-1900-X)
Softcover, Dramatist's Play Service
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Castle'Book summary:They are perhaps the most famous literary instructions never followed: "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread...." Thankfully, Max Brod did not honor his friend Franz Kafka's final wishes. Instead, he did everything within his power to ensure that Kafka's work would find publication--including making some sweeping changes in the original texts. Until recently, the world has known only Brod's version of Kafka, with its altered punctuation, word order, and chapter divisions. Restoring much of what had previously been expunged, as well as the fluid, oral quality of Kafka's original German, Mark Harman's new translation of The Castle is a major literary event.
One of three unfinished novels left after Kafka's death, The Castle is in many ways the writer's most enduring and influential work. In Harman's muscular translation, Kafka's text seems more modern than ever, the words tumbling over one another, the sentences separated only by commas. Harman's version also ends the same way as Kafka's original manuscript--that is, in mid-sentence: "She held out her trembling hand to K. and had him sit down beside her, she spoke with great difficulty, it was difficult to understand her, but what she said--." For anyone used to reading Kafka in his artificially complete form, the effect is extraordinary; it is as if Kafka himself had just stepped from the room, leaving behind him a work whose resolution is the more haunting for being forever out of reach.

The Flowers of Evilby Charles Baudelaire, Keith WaldropISBN 081956799X (0-8195-6799-X)
Hardcover, Wesleyan University Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Flowers of Evil'Book summary:The poetic masterpiece of the great nineteenth-century writer Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil is one of the most frequently read and studied works in the French language. In this compelling new translation of Baudelaire's most famous collection, Keith Waldrop recasts the poet's original French alexandrines and other poetic arrangements into versets, a form that hovers between poetry and prose. Maintaining Baudelaire's complex view of sound and structure, Waldrop's translation mirrors the intricacy of the original without attempting to replicate its inimitable verse. The result is a powerful new re-imagining, one that is, almost paradoxically, closer to Baudelaire's own poetry than any previous English translation. Including the six poems banned from the first edition, this Flowers of Evil preserves the complexity, eloquence, and dark humor of its author. Brought here to new life, it is hypnotic, frank, and forceful. [via]

The History and Adventures of the Renowned Don Quixoteby Martin C. Battestin, Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra, O.m Brack, Tobias George SmollettISBN 0820324302 (0-8203-2430-2)
Hardcover, Univ of Georgia Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The History and Adventures of the Renowned Don Quixote'Book summary:This authoritative textual edition presents Tobias Smollett's translation of Cervantes's Don Quixote in the form most faithful to Smollett's own intentions. It includes Francis Hayman's twenty-eight illustrations engraved for the original edition, Smollett's explanatory notes, and his prefatory "Life of Cervantes."[via]Smollett's Don Quixote first appeared in 1755 and was for many years the most popular English-language version of Cervantes's masterpiece. However, soon after the start of the nineteenth century, its reputation began to suffer. Rival translators, literary hucksters, and careless scholars initiated or fed a variety of charges against Smollett--even plagiarism. For almost 130 years no publisher risked reprinting it.
Redemption began in 1986, when the distinguished Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes, in his foreword to a new (albeit flawed) edition of Smollett's translation, declared it to be "the authentic vernacular version" of Don Quixote in English. Fuentes's opinion was in accord with that of the preeminent Cervantist, Francisco Rodríguez Marín, who decades earlier had declared Smollett's Don Quixote to be his preferred English version.
Martin C. Battestin's introduction discusses the composition, publication, and controversial reception of Smollett's Don Quixote. Battestin's notes identify Smollett's sources in his "Life of Cervantes" and in his commentary, provide cross-references to his other works, and illustrate Smollett's originality or dependence on previous translations. Also included is a complete textual apparatus, a glossary of unfamiliar terms, and an appendix comparing a selection of Francis Hayman's original illustrations with the engraved renderings used in the book.

› Find signed collectible books: 'An Inspector Calls'Book summary:An Inspector Calls, first produced in 1946 when society was undergoing sweeping transformations, has recently enjoyed an enormously successful revival. While holding its audience with the gripping tension of a detective thriller, it is also a philosophical play about social conscience and the crumbling of middle class values. Time and the Conways and I Have Been Here Before belong to Priestley's 'time'plays, in which he explores the idea of precognition and pits fate against free will. The Linden Tree also challenges preconceived ideas of history when Professor Linden comes into conflict with his family about how life should be lived after the war. [via]

Notebook of a Return to the Native Landby Aime Cesaire, Clayton Eshleman, Annette SmithISBN 0819564524 (0-8195-6452-4)
Softcover, Wesleyan Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Notebook of a Return to the Native Land'Book summary:Aime Cesaire's masterpiece, Notebook of a Return to the Native Land, is a work of immense cultural significance and beauty. The long poem was the beginning of Cesaire's quest for negritude, and it became an anthem of Blacks around the world. With its emphasis on unusual juxtapositions of object and metaphor, manipulation of language into puns and neologisms, and rhythm, Cesaire considered his style a "beneficial madness" that could "break into the forbidden" and reach the powerful and overlooked aspects of black culture.
Clayton Eshleman and Annette Smith achieve a laudable adaptation of Cesaire's work to English by clarifying double meanings, stretching syntax, and finding equivalent English puns, all while remaining remarkably true to the French text. Their treatment of the poetry is marked with imagination, vigor, and accuracy that will clarify difficulties for those already familiar with French, and make the work accessible to those who are not. Andre Breton's introduction, A Great Black Poet, situates the text and provides a moving tribute to Cesaire.
Notebook of a Return to the Native Land is recommended for readers in comparative literature, post-colonial literature, African American studies, poetry, modernism, and French. [via]More editions of Notebook of a Return to the Native Land:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Prime Numbers and Computer Methods for Factorization'Book summary:In the modern age of almost universal computer usage, practically every individual in a technologically developed society has routine access to the most up-to-date cryptographic technology that exists, the so-called RSA public-key cryptosystem. A major component of this system is the factorization of large numbers into their primes. Thus an ancient number-theory concept now plays a crucial role in communication among millions of people who may have little or no knowledge of even elementary mathematics. The independent structure of each chapter of the book makes it highly readable for a wide variety of mathematicians, students of applied number theory, and others interested in both study and research in number theory and cryptography.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry'Book summary:In all Mildred D. Taylor's unforgettable novels she recounts "not only the joy of growing up in a large and supportive family, but my own feelings of being faced with segregation and bigotry." Her Newbery Medal-winning Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry tells the story of one African American family, fighting to stay together and strong in the face of brutal racist attacks, illness, poverty, and betrayal in the Deep South of the 1930s. Nine-year-old Cassie Logan, growing up protected by her loving family, has never had reason to suspect that any white person could consider her inferior or wish her harm. But during the course of one devastating year when her community begins to be ripped apart by angry night riders threatening African Americans, she and her three brothers come to understand why the land they own means so much to their Papa. "Look out there, Cassie girl. All that belongs to you. You ain't never had to live on nobody's place but your own and long as I live and the family survives, you'll never have to. That's important. You may not understand that now but one day you will. Then you'll see."
Twenty-five years after it was first published, this special anniversary edition of the classic strikes as deep and powerful a note as ever. Taylor's vivid portrayal of ugly racism and the poignancy of Cassie's bewilderment and gradual toughening against social injustice and the men and women who perpetuate it, will remain with readers forever. Two award-winning sequels, Let the Circle Be Unbroken and The Road to Memphis, and a long-awaited prequel, The Land, continue the profoundly moving tale of the Logan family. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Star Marker'Book summary:Widely regarded as one of the true classics of science fiction, Star Maker is a poetic and deeply philosophical work. The story details the mental journey of an unnamed narrator who is transported not only to other worlds but also other galaxies and parallel universes, until he eventually becomes part of the "cosmic mind." First published in 1937, Olaf Stapledon's descriptions of alien life are a political commentary on human life in the turbulent inter-war years. The book challenges preconceived notions of intelligence and awareness, and ultimately argues for a broadened perspective that would free us from culturally ingrained thought and our inevitable anthropomorphism. This is the first scholarly edition of a book that influenced such writers as C.S. Lewis and Arthur C. Clarke and which Jorge Luis Borges called "a prodigious novel." [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Two Of Them'Book summary:Irene, a rebellious product of an American 1950s upbringing, has fled from a repressive and sexist society into a life of apparent equality and adventure as part of the elite Trans-Temporal Authority's cadre of travelers. Under the tutelage of Ernst, a friend/lover and teacher/father, Irene has achieved status and dignity. Irene and Ernst are assigned to a Muslim world where they meet Zubedeyeh, a young girl whose creativity is being transformed into madness by the male chauvinistic society in which she lives. Vowing to rescue her, Irene unleashes a destructive cycle of violence. Originally published in 1978, The Two of Them is a powerful portrait of a future sexist society. This modern classic conveys its politics with rigor and complexity, in a story filled with suspense and unforgettable characters. [via]

The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A Dual-Text Critical Editionby Shawn St. JeanISBN 0821416545 (0-8214-1654-5)
Softcover, Ohio Univ Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A Dual-Text Critical Edition'Book summary:Scholars have argued for decades over which constitutes the best possible version of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's much-anthologized story The Yellow Wall-Paper. Most editions have been based on the1892 New England Magazine publication rather than the handwritten manuscript at Radcliffe College. Publication of the unedited manuscript in 1994 sparked controversy over which of the two was definitive. Since then, scholars have discovered half a dozen parent texts for later twentieth-century printings, including William Dean Howells' version from 1920 and the 1933 Golden Book version. While traditional critical editions gather evidence and make an argument for adopting one text as preferable to others, "This volume offers both Gilman scholars and scholars of textual studies a unique and helpful means of engaging with a work that exists in multiple forms, and includes some insightful new readings of this much-analyzed story," saus Charlotte Rich, editor of the Charlotte Perkins Gilman Newsletter. Shawn St. Jean's The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman: A Dual-Text Critical Edition offers instead both manuscript and magazine, critically edited and printed in parallel for the first time. When viewed as part of a process beginning with writing and ending with bibliographic coding, new significance appears in such facets as the magazine's accompanying illustrations, its lineation and paragraphing, Gilman's choice of minor pronouns, and her original handwritten ending. This critical edition of The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman includes a full and nontraditional apparatus for ease of use by students and scholars to study the more than 400 variants between the two. Four new essays, written especially for this volume, explore the implications of this multitext model. Shawn St.Jean, an independent scholar in Brockport, New York, has previously published on Charlotte Perkins Gilman in Studies in Bibliography, Feminist Studies, and Studies in Short Fiction. He is the author of Pagan Dreiser: Songs from American Mythology. [via]

You Have Seen Their Facesby Margaret Bourke-White, Caldwell, Erskine&Bourke-White, MargaretISBN 082031692X (0-8203-1692-X)
Softcover, Univ of Georgia Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'You Have Seen Their Faces'Book summary:In the middle years of the Great Depression, Erskine Caldwell and photographer Margaret Bourke-White spent eighteen months traveling across the back roads of the Deep South--from South Carolina to Arkansas--to document the living conditions of the sharecropper. Their collaboration resulted in You Have Seen Their Faces, a graphic portrayal of America's desperately poor rural underclass. First published in 1937, it is a classic comparable to Jacob Riis's How the Other Half Lives, and James Agee and Walker Evans's Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, which it preceded by more than three years.[via]Caldwell lets the poor speak for themselves. Supported by his commentary, they tell how the tenant system exploited whites and blacks alike and fostered animosity between them. Bourke-White, who sometimes waited hours for the right moment, captures her subjects in the shacks where they lived, the depleted fields where they plowed, and the churches where they worshipped.
