› Find signed collectible books: 'Adieux: A Farewell to Sartre'Book summary:Simone de Beauvoirs account of the last ten years of Jean-Paul Sartres life provides a focus for understanding one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. But the book, consisting of both a year-by-year account of Sartres last decade and a conversation between him and de Beauvoir about his life and work, is more than just a philosophical examination. It is also a personal dialogue of astonishing frankness that illuminates one of the most famous and complex relationships of the twentieth century.

The Birth of Tragedyby Friedrich Nietzsche, Michael TannerISBN 0140433392 (0-14-043339-2)
Softcover, Penguin Group USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Birth of Tragedy'Book summary:In The Birth of Tragedy Nietzsche expounds on the origins of Greek tragedy and its relevance to the German culture of its time. He declares it to be the expression of a culture which has achieved a delicate but powerful balance between Dionysian insight into the chaos and suffering which underlies all existence and the discipline and clarity of rational Apollonian form. In order to promote a return to these values, Nietzsche critiques complacent rationalism of late nineteenth-century German culture and makes an impassioned plea for the regenerative potential of the music of Wagner. A wide ranging discussion of the nature of art, science, and religion, The Birth of Tragedy's argument raises important questions about the problematic nature of cultural origins which are still valid today.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Book of Disquiet'Book summary:The eternal mystique of Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) stems largely from his practice of writing under "heteronyms." More than just nom de plumes, Pessoa's heteronyms came with distinct biographies, careers, life spans, even horoscopes. In The Book of Disquiet, Pessoa came as close as he ever would to autobiography. Left on disordered scraps of paper in a trunk, the fragments that make up The Book of Disquiet record in disjunct entries a vast interior landscape and daily minutiae, making for a discontinuous, gently unhinged monologue in daybook form.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Existential Psychotherapy'Book summary:Existential therapy has been practiced and continues to be practiced in many forms and situations throughout the world. But until now, it has lacked a coherent structure, and analysis of its tenets, and an evaluation of its usefulness. Irvin yalom, whose theory and practice of group psychotherapy has rendered such a service to that discipline since 1970, provides existential psychotherapy with a background, a synthesis, and a framework.organized around what yalom identifies as the four "ultimate concerns of life"-death, freedom, existential isolation, and meaninglessness-the book takes up the meaning of each existential concern and the type of conflict that springs from our confrontation with each. He shows how these concerns are manifested in personality and psychopathology, and how treatment can be helped by our knowledge of them.drawing from clinical experience, empirical research, philosophy, and great literature, yalom has written a broad and comprehensive book. It will provide an intellectual home base for those psychotherapists who have sensed the incompatability of orthodox theories with their own clinical experience, and it opens new doors for empirical research. The fundamental concerns of therapy and the central issues of human existence are woven together here as never before, with intellectual and clinical results that will surprise and enlighten all readers [via]

Unfortunately for Anderton, his precogs perceive him as the next criminal. But Anderton knows he has never contemplated such a thing, and this knowledge proves the precogs are fallible. Now, whichever way he turns, Anderton is doomed--unless he can find the precogs's "minority report"--the dissenting voice that represents his one hope of getting at the truth in time to save himself from his own system.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Notes from Underground the Double'Book summary:'It is best to do nothing! The best thing is conscious inertia! So long live the underground!' Alienated from society and paralysed by a sense of his own insignificance, the anonymous narrator of Dostoyevsky's groundbreaking Notes from Underground tells the story of his tortured life. With bitter sarcasm, he describes his refusal to become a worker in the 'ant-hill' of society and his gradual withdrawal to an existence 'underground'. The seemingly ordinary world of St Petersburg takes on a nightmarish quality in The Double when a government clerk encounters a man who exactly resembles him - his double perhaps, or possibly the darker side of his own personality. Like Notes from Underground, this is a masterly study of human consciousness. Jessie Coulson's introduction discusses the stories' critical reception and the themes they share with Dostoyevksy's great novels. @TweetsFromUndegrnd An officer pushed me at a bar.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Solaris: Roman'Book summary:Solaris, planète longtemps oubliée par les explorations humaines, tourne autour de deux soleils, et ne semble pas abriter de vie. Un jour pourtant, un groupe de scientifiques y découvre une étonnante entité sous la forme d'un vaste océan protoplasmique. Mais après de nombreuses études, elle est déclarée non pensante et sans intérêt, l'ensemble des stimuli humains n'ayant jamais engendré de réponse.
Jusqu'au jour où le docteur Kelvin débarque sur la planète et rencontre la femme qu'il avait aimée et qui s'était depuis suicidée. Étonnement, effroi puis incompréhension vont alors se succéder et pousser Kelvin à chercher d'où vient ce si réaliste et désirable mirage.
D'origine polonaise, Lem est l'un des auteurs des pays de l'Est les plus connus. Souvent pamphlétaire, mais toujours optimiste et humoristique, il nous livre une très belle fable sur la communication et les incompréhensions qu'elle engendre, avec cette rencontre d'une forme extraterrestre et d'un être humain, et leur impossibilité naturelle à se comprendre. --Laurent Schneitter [via]

The Strangerby Patrick McCarthyISBN 0521338514 (0-521-33851-4)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Stranger'Book summary:The Stranger is not merely one of the most widely read novels of the 20th century, but one of the books likely to outlive it. Written in 1946, Camus's compelling and troubling tale of a disaffected, apparently amoral young man has earned a durable popularity (and remains a staple of U.S. high school literature courses) in part because it reveals so vividly the anxieties of its time. Alienation, the fear of anonymity, spiritual doubt--all could have been given a purely modern inflection in the hands of a lesser talent than Camus, who won the Nobel Prize in 1957 and was noted for his existentialist aesthetic. The remarkable trick of The Stranger, however, is that it's not mired in period philosophy.
The plot is simple. A young Algerian, Meursault, afflicted with a sort of aimless inertia, becomes embroiled in the petty intrigues of a local pimp and, somewhat inexplicably, ends up killing a man. Once he's imprisoned and eventually brought to trial, his crime, it becomes apparent, is not so much the arguably defensible murder he has committed as it is his deficient character. The trial's proceedings are absurd, a parsing of incidental trivialities--that Meursault, for instance, seemed unmoved by his own mother's death and then attended a comic movie the evening after her funeral are two ostensibly damning facts--so that the eventual sentence the jury issues is both ridiculous and inevitable.
Meursault remains a cipher nearly to the story's end--dispassionate, clinical, disengaged from his own emotions. "She wanted to know if I loved her," he says of his girlfriend. "I answered the same way I had the last time, that it didn't mean anything but that I probably didn't." There's a latent ominousness in such observations, a sense that devotion is nothing more than self-delusion. It's undoubtedly true that Meursault exhibits an extreme of resignation; however, his confrontation with "the gentle indifference of the world" remains as compelling as it was when Camus first recounted it. --Ben Guterson [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Tete-a-tete: Simone De Beauvoir And Jean-paul Sartre'Book summary:Like Abelard and Heloise, they are buried in a joint grave, their names linked for eternity. They are one of the world's legendary couples. We can't think of one without thinking of the other. "Tete-a-tete" tells the story of a relationship, one that still arouses steamy controversy, particularly in France; the notoriously open union between those freethinking and engaged Existentialist philosophers, Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir. Hazel Rowley portrays these two people close up, in their most intimate moments. Since theirs was an open relationship, the story involves rather a lot of other characters. Whether or not we think it is one of the great love stories of all time, it is certainly a great story. Exactly what Sartre and Beauvoir most wanted their lives to be? In the quarter of a century since their death, new light has been cast on this famous pair by numerous memoirs, as well as Sartre and Beauvoir's own journals and correspondence. Their intimates are more willing to talk now than they were in the past. "Tete-a-tete" is based on access to primary sources, which no biographer has seen before, as well as on original interviews. The result is a fascinating book that shows the passion, energy, daring, humour, and bizarre contradictions in this extraordinary and unorthodox relationship. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Plateforme'Book summary:De l'exotisme et du pittoresque, du sexe et du fanatisme, tels sont les ingrédients (torrides et subversifs) de Plateforme, dernier roman de Michel Houellebecq, probablement l'écrivain le plus controversé aujourd'hui& Michel est un employé du ministère de la Culture. Il vit simplement, au rythme des feuilletons et des jeux télé, des peep shows au sortir du boulot, des purées Mousline dégluties machinalement& À la mort de son père, "un vieux con", il se décide pour un séjour en Thaïlande, en "voyage organisé" sous la houlette de Nouvelles Frontières. Accompagné par une galerie de "beaufs", armés du Guide du routard, le narrateur visite les sites touristiques de Bangkok à Surat Thani, de Patong Beach à Koh Phi Phi, se livre au plaisir du body massage, quête les bars à putes, se lie avec Valérie. Ensemble, ils voyageront à Cuba, multipliant les expériences sexuelles, ici et là&
Cinglant et drôle, rarement avare d'outrances (sexuelles), observateur attentif, sarcastique même, l'écrivain ne rate rien de son époque. Fable sur les voyages organisés, regard sur le tourisme sexuel et le "déploiement du monde", Plateforme aurait pu n'être qu'un exercice littéraire de dénonciation mise en scène par une sensibilité exacerbée. Si le texte connaît des longueurs, c'est aussi le juste portrait d'une société moyenne, peuplée d'individus moyens, parfois médiocres, avec ses paradis et ses enfers. --Céline Darner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Voyage au Bout de la Nuit'Book summary:Roman picaresque, roman d'initiation, Voyage au bout de la nuit, signé Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Louis Destouches de son vrai nom, a été récompensé par le prix Renaudot en 1932. À la suite d'un défilé militaire, Ferdinand Bardamu s'engage dans un régiment. Plongé dans la Grande Guerre, il fait l'expérience de l'horreur et rencontre Robinson, qu'il retrouvera tout au long de ses aventures. Blessé, rapatrié, il vit le conflit depuis l'arrière, partagé entre les conquêtes féminines et les crises de folie. Réformé, il s'embarque pour l'Afrique, travaille dans une compagnie coloniale. Malade, il gagne les États-Unis, rencontre Molly, prostituée au grand cSur à Detroit tandis qu'il est ouvrier à la chaîne. De retour en France, médecin, installé dans un dispensaire de banlieue, il est confronté au tout-venant sordide de la misère, en même temps qu'il rencontre ici et là des êtres sublimes de générosité, de délicatesse infinie, "une gaieté pour l'univers"...
Epopée antimilitariste, anticolonialiste et anticapitaliste, somme de toutes les expériences de l'auteur, Voyage au bout de la nuit est peuplé de pauvres hères brinquebalés dans un monde où l'horreur le dispute à l'absurde. Mais, au bout de cette nuit, le voyage ne manque ni de drôlerie, ni de personnages fringants, de beautés féminines "en route pour l'infini". Texte essentiel de la littérature du XXe siècle, il est émaillé d'aphorismes cinglants, dynamité par des expressions familières, argotiques, et un éclatement de la syntaxe qui a fait la réputation de Céline. --Céline Darner [via]More editions of Voyage au Bout de la Nuit:

› Find signed collectible books: 'La Montana Magica/The Magic Mountain'Book summary:La acción de esta novela transcurre en un sanatorio de tuberculosos de Zauberberg, donde coinciden dos primos de caracteres muy distintos. És esta una novela de detalles más que de trama: el conocimiento de Claudia Chauchat o de una pareja de peculiares y enfrentados pensadores, los pequeños conflictos generados por la convivencia, el goteo constante de fallecimientos... El interés de la novela reside en la perfecta reproducción de la vida interior, afectiva e intelectual, de la amplia galería de personajes que despliega Mann ante los ojos del lector, todos ellos perfectamente individualizados e interesantes por sí mismo. "La montaña mágica" se cuenta entre las diez mejores obras literarias del siglo XX.
A hospital of tuberculosis patients in the mountains is the place chosen by the author to reflect the events that had a great effect on the first-quarter century European society. The characters synthesize the social trends and contradictions of that period. [via]More editions of La Montana Magica/The Magic Mountain:

En efecto, si algunos pueden ver en esta indagacion de William Golding en la condicion humana la ilustracion de que la agresividad criminal se halla entre los instintos basicos del hombre, otros podran considerarla como una parabola que cuestiona un tipo de educacion represiva que no hace sino incubar explosiones de barbarie prestas a estallar en cuanto los controles se relajan.
