› Find signed collectible books: 'The Communist Manifesto'Book summary:L.M. Findlay's elegant new translation is a work of textual and historical scholarship. Few books have had as much of an impact on modern history as The Communist Manifesto. Since it was first published in 1848, it has become the rallying cry for revolutionary movements around the world. This new Broadview edition draws on the 1888 Samuel Moore translation supervised by Engelsthe standard English version in Marxist discourseand on the original Helen Macfarlane translation into English of 1850. Throughout, Findlay draws on a variety of disciplines and maintains a broad-ranging perspective. Among the appendices are Engels' "Draft of a Communist Confession of Faith," correspondence and journalism of Marx and Engels, ten illustrations, and eight additional influential political manifestos from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Communist Manifesto'Book summary:"A spectre is haunting Europe," Karl Marx and Frederic Engels wrote in 1848, "the spectre of Communism." This new edition of The Communist Manifesto, commemorating the 150th anniversary of its publication, includes an introduction by renowned historian Eric Hobsbawm which reminds us of the document's continued relevance. Marx and Engels's critique of capitalism and its deleterious effect on all aspects of life, from the increasing rift between the classes to the destruction of the nuclear family, has proven remarkably prescient. Their spectre, manifested in the Manifesto's vivid prose, continues to haunt the capitalist world, lingering as a ghostly apparition even after the collapse of those governments which claimed to be enacting its principles.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Communist Manifesto: A Road Map to History's Most Important Political Document'Book summary:[via]What is globalization? Here is one of the best answers. It is the constant revolutionizing of production and the endless disturbance of all social conditions. It is everlasting uncertainty. Everything fixed and frozen is swept away, and all that is solid melts into air. Yes, you have read this before. It is from The Communist Manifesto, by Messrs. Marx and Engels. The New York Times
Here, at last, is an authoritative introduction to historys most important political document, with the full text of The Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels.
This beautifully organized and presented edition of The Communist Manifesto is fully annotated, with clear historical references and explication, additional related texts, and a glossary that will bring the text to life for students, as well as the general reader.
Since it was first written in 1848, the Manifesto has been translated into more languages than any other modern text. It has been banned, censored, burned, and declared dead. But year after year, the text only grows more influential, remaining required reading in courses on philosophy, politics, economics, and history.
Apart from Charles Darwins Origin of Species, notes the Los Angeles Times, the Manifesto is arguably the most important work of nonfiction written in the 19th century. The Washington Post calls Marx an astute critic of capitalism. Writing in The New York Times, Columbia University Professor Steven Marcus describes the Manifesto as a masterpiece with enduring insights into social existence.
The New Yorker recently described Karl Marx as The Next Thinker for our era. This book will show readers why.
Phil Gasper is a professor of philosophy at Notre Dame de Namur University in northern California. He writes extensively on politics and the philosophy of science and is a frequent contributor to CounterPunch.

Critique of Pure Reasonby Norman Kemp Smith, KantISBN 1403911959 (1-4039-1195-9)
Softcover, Palgrave Macmillan
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Critique of Pure Reason'Book summary:Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason is one of the most rewarding and difficult of all philosophical works. Norman Kemp Smith's translation is immensely valuable, not simply because he rendered Kant's language into readable English, but also because his own extensive understanding of the Critique made him acutely aware of the pitfalls of translation. This text is that of the second edition of 1787, with an additional translation of all first edition passages which in the second edition were either altered or omitted. For this reissue of Norman Kemp Smith's classic 1929 edition, Howard Caygill has contributed a new Preface, setting this translation into the context both of Kemp Smith's own life and work, and of his influence on Kant scholarship.[via]More editions of Critique of Pure Reason:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Sandmann'Book summary:»Der Sandmann« erzählt die Geschichte vom Studenten Nathanael, der mit seinem Kindheitsdämon dem Sandmann konfrontiert wird. Ist es Traum, Realität oder gar Wahnsinn? Ist der Linsenschleifers Coppola der albtraumhafte Coppelius aus seinen Kindertagen? In tiefe Verwirrung gestürzt, ist nicht einmal mehr Nathanaels Liebe zu seiner Verlobten Clara sicher.
E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776 - 1822) war Jurist, Schriftsteller, Komponist und Karikaturist. In seinem erzählerischen Werk verbindet er die alltägliche Wirklichkeit mit einer hintergründigen und grotesken Welt. Er behandelte in seinen Geschichten Themen wie Identitätsprobleme, ungewöhnlichen Seelenverhältnissen und spiritistischen Motive. So sind seine Erzählungen für viele Deutungen offen. Sein Vorgriff auf die Probleme der nachfolgenden Zeiten hält bis heute an. [via]More editions of Der Sandmann:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Frost'Book summary:Visceral, raw, singular, and distinctive, Frost is the story of a friendship between a young man at the beginning of his medical career and a painter who is entering his final days.
A writer of world stature, Thomas Bernhard combined a searing wit and an unwavering gaze into the human condition. Frost follows an unnamed young Austrian who accepts an unusual assignment. Rather than continue with his medical studies, he travels to a bleak mining town in the back of beyond, in order to clinically observe the aged painter, Strauch, who happens to be the brother of this young mans surgical mentor. The catch is this: Strauch must not know the young mans true occupation or the reason for his arrival. Posing as a promising law student with a love of Henry James, the young man befriends the mad artist and is caught up among an equally extraordinary cast of local characters, from his resentful landlady to the towns mining engineers.
This debut novel by Thomas Bernhard, which came out in German in 1963 and is now being published in English for the first time, marks the beginning of what was one of the twentieth centurys most powerful, provocative literary careers. [via]More editions of Frost:

Mein Kampfby Adolf Hitler, James MurphyISBN 1593640064 (1-59364-006-4)
Hardcover, Liberty Bell Pubns
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Mein Kampf'Book summary:The angry ranting of an obscure, small-party politician, the first volume of Mein Kampf was virtually ignored when it was originally published in 1925. Likewise the second volume, which appeared in 1926. The book details Hitler's childhood, the "betrayal" of Germany in World War I, the desire for revenge against France, the need for lebensraum for the German people, and the means by which the National Socialist party can gain power. It also includes Hitler's racist agenda and his glorification of the "Aryan" race. The few outside the Nazi party who read it dismissed it as nonsense, not believing that anyone could--or would--carry out its radical, terrorist programs. As Hitler and the Nazis gained power, first party members and then the general public were pressured to buy the book. By the time Hitler became chancellor of the Third Reich in 1933, the book stood atop the German bestseller lists. Had the book been taken seriously when it was first published, perhaps the 20th century would have been very different.
Beyond the anger, hatred, bigotry, and self-aggrandizing, Mein Kampf is saddled with tortured prose, meandering narrative, and tangled metaphors (one person was described as "a thorn in the eyes of venal officials"). That said, it is an incredibly important book. It is foolish to think that the Holocaust could not happen again, especially if World War II and its horrors are forgotten. As an Amazon.com reader has pointed out, "If you want to learn about why the Holocaust happened, you can't avoid reading the words of the man who was most responsible for it happening." Mein Kampf, therefore, must be read as a reminder that evil can all too easily grow. --Sunny Delaney [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Mein Kampf: My Struggle'Book summary:Mein Kampf was first published in two volumes in 1925-26 and sold between eight and nine million copies in German during Hitler's lifetime, as well as being widely translated. It is the most notorious political tract of the twentieth century. This translation by James Murphy (who worked in Goebbels's Ministry of propaganda from 1934 to 1938) is considered standard.
Mein Kampf remains necessary reading for those who seek to understand the Holocaust, for students of totalitarian psychology and for all those who care to safeguard democracy. [via]

On Warby Karl Von Clausewitz, colonel J. GrahamISBN 1406505528 (1-4065-0552-8)
Softcover, Dodo Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'On War'Book summary:On War is perhaps the greatest book ever written about war. Carl von Clausewitz, a Prussian soldier, had witnessed at first hand the immense destructive power of the French Revolutionary armies which swept across Europe between 1792 and 1815. His response was to write a comprehensive text covering every aspect of warfare. On War is both a philosophical and practical work in which Clausewitz defines the essential nature of war, debates the qualities of the great commander, assesses the relative strengths of defensive and offensive warfare, and - in highly controversial passages - considers the relationship between war and politics. His arguments are illustrated with vivid examples drawn from the campaigns of Frederick the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte. For the student of society as well as the military historian, On War remains a compelling and indispensable source. [via]

The Song of Bernadetteby Franz Werfel, Ludwig LewisohnISBN 1586171712 (1-58617-171-2)
Softcover, Ignatius Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Song of Bernadette'Book summary:This is the famous and highly acclaimed classic work that tells the true story surrounding the miraculous visions of St. Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes, France in 1858. Werfel, a highly respected literary writer who was an outspoken anti-Nazi from Vienna, became a Jewish refugee who barely escaped death from the Nazis in 1940, and wrote this moving story to fulfill a promise he made to God. Thus the story of how this book about a miracle came to be written is in itself something of a miracle.
As he and his wife were hiding out in the little village of Loudres while trying to escape to freedom in the USA during WWII, Werfel felt the Nazi noose tightening around them and realizing that they might well be caught and executed, he made a promise to God to write about the "song of Bernadette" that he had been deeply inspired by during their clandestine stay Lourdes.
An amazing aspect of this powerful portrayal of a Catholic saint and an essentially Catholic story is that Werfel was a rather secular Jew, and yet he was so deeply impressed by both Bernadette and the happenings at Lourdes, that his writing has a profound sense of Catholicism's sacramental imagination about the world.

Throughout her lifewhich spanned the Nazi era, the war, and the postwar consumer economyshe struggled to maintain appearances, only to arrive at a terrible recognition: "I'm not human any more." Not long after, she killed herself with an overdose of sleeping pills.
In A Sorrow Beyond Dreams her son sits down to record what he knows, or thinks he knows, about his mother's life and death before, in his words, "the dull speechlessnessthe extreme speechlessness" of grief takes hold forever. And yet the experience of speechlessness, as it marks both suffering and love, lies at the heart of Handke's brief but unforgettable elegy.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Tractatus Logico: Philosophicus'Book summary:Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Drei Frauen'Book summary:In diesen Erzählungen tastet Musil in das Dunkel jenes unfaßbaren Seins,das die Grenze unseres Menschentums umgibt und uns noch Dinge vermittelt,die schon außerhalb unseres Lebens zu sein scheinen. Drei Frauen der Bäuerin,der portugiesischen Aristokratin und der Verkäuferin stehen drei Männergegenüber, die durch sie ihre Tragik erleiden. Eine große Fremdheit liegthier zwischen den Geschlechtern, und gerade in dieser Spannung zeigt sichMusils eigentliche Stärke, hineinzuwandern in die seelischen Labyrintheund Hintergründe. [via]

Holzfallen: Eine Erregungby Thomas BernhardISBN 3518046942 (3-518-04694-2)
Hardcover, Suhrkamp

› Find signed collectible books: 'Holzfallen: Eine Erregung'Book summary:Es war das Skandalbuch des Jahres 1984: Beschlagnahmungen in österreichischen Buchhandlungen, ein bevorstehender "Ehrenbeleidigungsprozess", heftiger Medienrummel. Thomas Bernhard, dieser begnadete Beschimpfungskünstler, war in Holzfällen zu großer Form aufgelaufen und hatte Künstlerkollegen und ehemalige Förderer und Weggefährten schonungslos ins Visier genommen. Das Resultat: eine -- ob nun beabsichtigt oder nicht -- größere öffentliche "Erregung". Nach fast 20 Jahren ist davon naturgemäß nichts übrig geblieben. Außer einem der besten Bücher Thomas Bernhards.
Im Booklet erinnert Kai Luehrs-Kaiser in einem aufschlussreichen Artikel an die Entstehungsgeschichte und die biografischen Hintergründe des Romans und würdigt Holzfällen als einen Wendepunkt im Werk Thomas Bernhards.
Ein Holtzmann liest Holzfällen. Was wie ein witziger Zufall wirkt, ist in Wahrheit ein wahrer Glücksfall. Denn einen besseren Interpreten dieses fulminanten Monologs -- dieser Ohrensessel-Tirade während eines "künstlerischen Abendessens bei den Eheleuten Auersberger" -- als den großen Schauspieler Thomas Holtzmann, kann man sich schwerlich vorstellen. Mit seiner unverwechselbar kräftigen und zugleich stets leicht brüchig wirkenden Stimme spürt er alle Nuancen des Textes auf und macht deutlich, was Thomas Bernhard hinter seiner Maske aus Wut und Hass eigentlich war: ein großer Komödiant. --Christian Stahl
Spieldauer: zirka 470 Minuten, 7 CDs, vollständige Lesung mit Thomas Holtzmann. [via]

Der Mann Ohne Eigenschaften: Romanby Robert Musil, Adolf FriseISBN 3498092855 (3-498-09285-5)
Hardcover, Rowohlt

› Find signed collectible books: 'Der Mann Ohne Eigenschaften: Roman'Book summary:Musils Protagonist Ulrich ist gar kein Mann ohne Eigenschaften. Der Romantitel führt da ein wenig in die Irre. Tatsächlich ist es eine "Welt von Eigenschaften ohne Mann", die im Buch nichts Charakteristisches mehr zu bieten hat. Bereits die umwerfende Eingangssequenz macht diesen Leerlauf anschaulich, indem sie den Leserblick trichterförmig von metereologischen Banalitäten zu einem Verkehrsunfall in Wien an "einem schönen Augusttag des Jahres 1913" hinunterlenkt, dessen vermeintliche Tragik technische Erklärungen (Bremsversagen) bagatellisieren. Wie in Samuel Becketts Murphy darf auch hier die Sonne zunächst "auf nichts Neues" und Besonderes mehr scheinen. Diese Erkenntnis bringt Ulrich letztlich dazu, "Urlaub vom Leben" zu nehmen und sich in Reflexionen über eben dieses Leben zu ergehen. Die selbstgewählte "Eigenschaftslosigkeit" der Figur erweist sich so als ihre herausragendste Eigenschaft.
Im Mann ohne Eigenschaften passiert nur wenig. Aber es wird unendlich viel gedacht im Buch, und am Ende wird sogar noch intensiv gefühlt: In der Geschwisterliebe Ulrichs zu Agathe realisiert sich die Utopie eines "anderen Zustands" jenseits der absurden Welt. Hierfür findet der Mann ohne Eigenschaften dann poetisch präzise Bilder ohne intellektuelle Schwere, so in meinem Lieblingskapitel Atemzüge eines Sommertags: "Die Sonne war unterdessen höher gestiegen, die Stühle hatten sie wie gestrandete Boote in dem flachen Schatten beim Haus zurückgelassen. Ein geräuschloser Strom glanzlosen Blütenschnees schwebte, von einer abgeblühten Baumgruppe kommend, durch den Sonnenschein; und der Atem, der ihn trug, war so sanft, daß sich kein Blatt regte. Kein Schatten fiel davon auf das Grün des Rasens, aber dieses schien sich von innen zu verdunkeln wie ein Auge". Gäbe es nur diese wunderschöne Stelle, so hätte sich die Lektüre der weit über 1000 vorangegangenen Seiten schon gelohnt. --Thomas Köster [via]
