Ahab's Wife Or, the Star-Gazerby Sena Jeter Naslund, Christopher WormellISBN 0060838744 (0-06-083874-4)
Softcover, Perennial

› Find signed collectible books: 'Ahab's Wife Or, the Star-Gazer'Book summary:It has been said that one can see farther only by standing on the shoulders of giants. Ahab's Wife, Sena Naslund's epic work of historical fiction, honors that aphorism, using Herman Melville's Moby-Dick as looking glass into early-19th-century America. Through the eye of an outsider, a woman, she suggests that New England life was broader and richer than Melville's manly world of men, ships, and whales. This ambitious novel pays tribute to Melville, creating heroines from his lesser characters, and to America's literary heritage in general.
Una, named for the heroine of Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene, flees to the New England coast from Kentucky to escape her father's puritanism and to pursue a more exalted life. She gets whaling out of her system early: going to sea at 16 disguised as a boy, Una has her ship sunk by her own monstrous whale, and survives a harrowing shipwreck:
I was so horrified by the whale's deliberate charge that I could not move. Then my own name flew up from below like a spear: "Una!" Giles' voice broke my trance, and I scrambled down the rigging. No sooner did my foot touch the deck than there was such a lurch that I fell to my face. I heard and felt the boards break below the waterline, the copper sheathing nothing but decorative foil. The whole ship shuddered. A death throe.
The ship dies, but Una returns to land to pursue the life of the mind. The novel's opening line--"Captain Ahab was neither my first husband nor my last"--also diminishes Melville's hero in the broader scheme of things. Naslund exposes the reader to the unsung, real-life heroes of Melville's world, including Margaret Fuller and her Boston salon, and Nantucket astronomer Maria Mitchell. There is a chance meeting with a veiled Nathaniel Hawthorne in the woods, and throughout the novel the story brims with references to the giants of literature: Shakespeare, Goethe, Coleridge, Keats, and Wordsworth. Although her novel runs long at nearly 700 pages, Naslund has created an imaginative, entertaining, and very impressive work. --Ted Leventhal [via]More editions of Ahab's Wife Or, the Star-Gazer:

Birdie's Lighthouseby Deborah Hopkinson, Kimberly Bulcken RootISBN 0689835299 (0-689-83529-9)

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Birdie's Lighthouse'Book summary:Author Deborah Hopkinson drew from 19th-century lighthouse keepers' diaries to inform this story of Birdie [Bertha] Holland, who, as we meet her on her 10th birthday, learns that her sailor father has been named keeper of Maine's Turtle Island lighthouse. The family will move to the cold, rocky island whose light guards the lives of seagoers.
Birdie learns to clip the lamp wicks and polish the reflectors that light the way. "Papa ... isn't sure a girl can do it, but I know I can learn to keep the light. I won't let him down."
And she doesn't. In a huge storm, Birdie tends the light alone, clinging to railings in the wind and blowing waves as she follows the life-and-death ritual that keeps the ships from harm.
"... Papa is so proud of me he told everyone in the village how I kept the lamps burning," Birdie tells us. Young readers will be pretty proud of her too.
[The publisher suggests ages 4-9 for this book; older readers with a touch of the romantic in them may enjoy it also.] [via]

Together the two climb up, up, up to watch over the nighttime sea and down, down, down to eat and play.
On one stormy night, the quick rush of a fierce wind darkens every candle. Soon an errant fishing boat, lost in the raging black sea, signals distress. Sure enough, it is the sudden glow of twenty-four flashing yellow lights that guide the boat away from danger. Just what could those new lights be?

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Lighthouse Stevensons'Book summary:"Whenever I smell salt water, I know that I am not far from one of the works of my ancestors." --Robert Louis Stevenson
The 14 lighthouses dotting the Scottish coast were all built by the same family that produced Robert Louis Stevenson, Scotland's most famous novelist. Surprised? Bella Bathurst throws a powerful, revolving light into the darkness of this historical tradition. Robert Louis was a sickly fellow, and--unlike the rest of his strong-willed, determined family--certainly not up to the astonishing rigors of lighthouse building, which is vividly described here. Constructing these towering structures in the most inhospitable places imaginable (such as the aptly named Cape Wrath), using only 19th-century technology, is an achievement that beggars belief. One thinks of the pyramid building of ancient Egypt. At the Skerryvore lighthouse, the ground rocks were prepared by hand (even though the "gneiss could blunt a pick in three blows") in waves and winds "strong enough to lift a man bodily off the rock" and that "it took 120 hours to dress a single stone for the outside of the tower, and 320 hours to dress one of the central stones. In total 5000 tons of stone were quarried and shipped"--and all by hand. It is mind-boggling stuff: you'll look at lighthouses with a new respect. --Adam Roberts, Amazon.co.uk [via]More editions of The Lighthouse Stevensons:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Lighthousekeeping'Book summary:'A child born of chance might imagine that Chance was its father, in the way that gods fathered children, and then abandoned them, without a backward glance, but with one small gift. I wondered if a gift had been left for me. I had no idea where to look, or what I was looking for, but I know now that all important journeys start that way. 'Motherless and anchorless, Silver is taken in by the timeless Mr. Pew, keeper of the Cape Wrath lighthouse. Pew tells Silver ancient tales of longing and rootlessness, of ties that bind and of the slippages that occur throughout every life. One life, Babel Dark's, a nineteenth century clergyman, opens like a map that Silver must follow. Caught in her own particular darknesses, she embarks on an Ulyssean sift through the stories we tell ourselves, stories of love and loss, of passion and longing, stories of unending journeys that move through places and times, and the bleak finality of the shores of betrayal. But finally, "I love you. The most difficult words in the world. But what else can I say?" A story of mutability, of talking birds and stolen books, of Darwin and Stevenson and of the Jekyll and Hyde in all of us. [via]

Description: The beloved traveler/troubadour offers up a plate of stories--some real, some imagined, some where it's impossible to say--from his world of seaplanes, tropical isles, and wayward adventures. A Salty Piece of Land is a rollicking story collection that belongs as much on a bookshelf as it does atop the liquor cabinet.

This irresistible collection will be the next in an impressive line of bestsellers for the inimitable Jimmy Buffett. [via]

Stargazing: Memoirs Of A Young Lighthouse Keeperby Peter HillISBN 1841956511 (1-84195-651-1)
Softcover, Canongate Books Ltd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Stargazing: Memoirs Of A Young Lighthouse Keeper'Book summary:In this sublime reminiscence of the pleasures of solitude, the wonders of the sea, and the odd courses life takes, Peter Hill writes, "In 1973 I worked as a lighthouse keeper on three islands off the west coast of Scotland. Before taking the job I didn't really think through what a lighthouse keeper actually did. I was attracted by the romantic notion of sitting on a rock, writing haikus and dashing off the occasional watercolor. The light itself didn't seem important: it might have been some weird coastal decoration, like candles on a Christmas tree, intended to bring cheer to those living in the more remote parts of the country."[via]
Hill learned quickly, though, of the centuries-old mechanics of the lighthouse, of the life-and-death necessity of its luminescence to seafarers, and of the great and unlikely friendships formed out of routine. With his head filled with Hendrix, Kerouac, and the war in Vietnam, Hill shared cups of tea and close quarters with salty lighthouse keepers of an entirely different generation. The stories they told and idiosyncrasies they exhibited came to define a summer Hill has memorialized with great wit and a disarmingly affectionate style.More editions of Stargazing: Memoirs Of A Young Lighthouse Keeper:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Women Who Kept the Lights: An Illustrated History of Female Lighthouse Keepers'Book summary:Hundreds of American women have kept the lamps burning in lighthouses since Hannah Thomas tended Gurnet Point Light in Plymouth, Massachusetts, while her husband was away fighting in the War for Independence. Women Who Kept the Lights details the careers of 30 intrepid women who were official keepers of light stations on the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific Coasts, on Lake Champlain and the Great Lakes, staying at their posts for periods ranging from a few years to half a century. Most of these women served in the 19th century, when the keeper lit a number of lamps in the tower at dusk, replenished their fuel or replaced them at midnight, and every morning polished the lamps and lanterns to keep their lights shining brightly.
Several of these stalwart women were commended for their courage in remaining at their posts through severe storms and hurricanes. A few went to the rescue of seamen when ships capsized or were wrecked. Their varied stories are brought together here for the first time, drawing a multifaceted picture of a unique profession in our maritime history.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Tous Les Phares De France: De La Mer Du Nord a La Mediterranee'Book summary:Avec le rôle toujours accru des satellites, avec les systèmes daide à la navigation toujours plus performants quils autorisent, allons-nous assister dans les prochaines décennies au tournant dune histoire plusieurs fois millénaire : les phares ne risquent-ils pas, en effet, comme les caravelles ou les galions, dêtre condamnés au grand cimetière marin de nos nostalgies ? Ce serait compter sans les navigateurs du monde entier qui, à lapproche des côtes, continuent de leur porter une plus grande confiance quà tout autre système de positionnement
Avec la Grande-Bretagne, cest la France qui a développé le plus tôt un système cohérent de balisage lumineux de son littoral. 124 phares - sans compter les feux, tourelles et balises - continuent dassurer la sécurité de la navigation sur les côtes françaises. Ils sont certes de plus en plus automatisés, et le légendaire gardien de phare se fait de plus en plus rare.
De Dunkerque aux îles Lavezzi, cest à un tour de France des phares que nous convie ce livre. Données techniques et historiques, récits et anecdotes accompagnent la description de chacun des 124 phares, qui ont été photographiés un à un. Avec ce livre, René Gast et Jean Guichard réalisent une grande première : jamais encore lensemble des phares français métropolitains navait été présenté dans un seul ouvrage.
