› Find signed collectible books: 'The Age of Reason'Book summary:Thomas Paine's primary object in writing "The Age of Reason" was to call into question the conventional understanding of religion and to undermine the power of the Christian church. As provocative and controversial today as when Paine first wrote it, this incendiary work suggests what is necessary to transform religion into a social force that has its foundation in reason. [via]

Ancient Chinese Revealedby Sun-Tzu, Gary GagliardiISBN 1929194196 (1-929194-19-6)
Hardcover, Clearbridge Publishing
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Ancient Chinese Revealed'Book summary:Winner of the 2003 Independent Publishers Book Award for Best Multicultural Non-fiction. Recognized as the newest and most accurate translation of Sun Tzu's ancient classic with six significant improvements over other translation: 1) It uses the Taipei compilation of the main Chinese textual traditions instead of older fragmentary sources. 2) It individually translates each Chinese ideogram to let readers see the precise formulas in the original text. 3) It offers English sentences that clarify the central meaning of the text but chooses words to demonstrate the range of meaning in the original. 4) It preserves the original weight of ideas by creating one and only one line of English for each line of Chinese. 5) It duplicates the original format of the Chinese by grouping and numbering lines clearly to preserve the original contextual associations. 6) It assumes that Sun Tzu was rigorously consistent in his ideas. The imprecise word usage that creates contradictions in other versions are eliminated. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Art of War: Sunzi Bing Fa'Book summary:The two political classics in this book are the product of a time of intense turmoil in Chinese history. Dating from the Period of the Warring States (403-221BC), they anticipate Machiavelli's The Prince by nearly 2000 years. The Art of War is the best known of a considerable body of Chinese works on the subject. It analyses the nature of war, and reveals how victory may be ensured. The Book of Lord Shang is a political treatise for the instruction of rulers. These texts are anything but armchair strategy or ivory-tower speculation. They are serious, urgent and practical responses to the desperate situations in which they were written. They have been immensely influential both inside and outside China. [via]

The ten Greek cities of Palestine-the Decapolis-want only to continue their peaceful trading existence, but they find themselves caught in the middle of the uprisings. Apollodorus, a merchant of Philadelphia, takes a risk and rescues a man whom a Roman patrol has left to die in the desert. When Apollodorus is killed by robbers, his three sons are left almost penniless and must each find a way for themselves. Philo, the youngest, is befriended by Xenos, the man saved from the desert, who has lost his memory. From him the boy learns the art of the scribe, and together they try to find their identity-one from the past, the other for the future.
A serious story of an important time in history. Sequel to The Ides of April. [via]More editions of Beyond the Desert Gate:

› Find signed collectible books: 'God King'Book summary:A never-before published tale by the author of the best-selling Hittite Warrior, carries the reader back to Ancient Egypt and biblical Jerusalem. It is 701 B.C-rule of the Kushite dynasty in ancient Egypt. Young Prince Taharka, a very minor royal son, succeeds unexpectedly to the throne of Kush and Egypt-a divine rulership.
It's not long, however, before a treacherous plot pushes him into sudden exile and into the hands of Amos, an emissary of King Hezekiah seeking help against the Assyrians. Posing as a medical assistant, Taharka journeys with Amos to Judea where he encounters two kings in conflict. His true identity suddenly uncovered, he must choose with whom he will fight-the mighty Assyrian, Sennacherib, promising alliance or Hezekiah, the Jew who trusts in Yahweh.
A novel inspired by research on the historical King Taharka and his period. [via]More editions of God King:

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Mathematical Experience'Book summary:We tend to think of mathematics as uniquely rigorous, and of mathematicians as supremely smart. In his introduction to The Mathematical Experience, Gian-Carlo Rota notes that instead, "a mathematician's work is mostly a tangle of guesswork, analogy, wishful thinking and frustration, and proof ... is more often than not a way of making sure that our minds are not playing tricks." Philip Davis and Reuben Hersh discuss everything from the nature of proof to the Euclid myth, and mathematical aesthetics to non-Cantorian set theory. They make a convincing case for the idea that mathematics is not about eternal reality, but comprises "true facts about imaginary objects" and belongs among the human sciences. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Robinson Crusoe'Book summary:With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury From its first publication in 1719, Robinson Crusoe has been printed in over 700 editions. It has inspired almost every conceivable kind of imitation and variation, and been the subject of plays, opera, cartoons, and computer games. The character of Crusoe has entered the consciousness of each succeeding generation as readers add their own interpretation to the adventures so thrillingly 'recorded' by Defoe. Praised by eminent figures such as Coleridge, Rousseau and Wordsworth, this perennially popular book was cited by Karl Marx in Das Kapital to illustrate economic theory. However it is readers of all ages over the last 280 years who have given Robinson Crusoe its abiding position as a classic tale of adventure. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Stories With Illustrations from the Strand Magazine'Book summary:It is more than a century since the ascetic, gaunt and enigmatic detective, Sherlock Holmes, made his first appearance in A Study in Scarlet. From 1891, beginning with The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the now legendary and pioneering Strand Magazine began serialising Arthur Conan Doyle's matchless tales of detection, featuring the incomparable sleuth patiently assisted by his doggedly loyal and lovably pedantic friend and companion, Dr Watson. The stories are illustrated by the remarkable Sydney Paget from whom our images of Sherlock Holmes and his world derive and who first equipped Holmes with his famous deerstalker hat. The literary cult of Sherlock Holmes shows no sign of fading with time as each new generation comes to love and revere the penetrating mind and ruthless logic which were the undoing of so many Victorian master criminals.

Otras dos penetrantes digresiones estudian la doctrina de Nietzsche sobre el eterno retorno y las concepciones basadas en el caracter recurrente del movimiento historico. El examen de las versiones clÃÂásicas de Las 1001 noches ilustra los condicionamientos culturales e historicos de la labor de traduccion. [via]

En ella, el que fuera preceptor de Alejandro Magno y discípulo de Platón se erige en defensor de la «polis» tomando en consideración sus posibilidades históricas y sus grandes realizaciones civilizadoras. Frente al desarraigo y exacerbado individualismo dominantes en la Grecia de la época, y contra los que creen en el buen salvaje, Aristóteles hace hincapié en el carácter social del hombre -definido como «animal cívico»- y en el fundamento natural de la ciudad -anterior por naturaleza a la familia y aun a cada individuo-, valorándolos como un logro insuperable de la civilización griega frente a las rudas formaciones políticas de las tribus bárbaras.(*CR*) [via]

Qu'est-Ce Que La Philosophieby Felix Guattari, Gilles DeleuzeISBN 2707313866 (2-7073-1386-6)
Hardcover, Editions De Minuit
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Qu'est-Ce Que La Philosophie'Book summary:La question est paradoxale. Nul ne peut comprendre ce qu'est la philosophie qu'après l'avoir longtemps pratiquée. On aborde donc toujours de manière incertaine cette discipline. Car il s'agit bien d'une discipline à part entière, qui certes entre en résonance avec les autres disciplines, mais non pas d'une matière interdisciplinaire, comme le soulignent ici Deleuze et Guattari.
Loin des poncifs au goût du jour sur la spontanéité de l'éveil au questionnement philosophique, cet ouvrage définit la philosophie comme un travail dont la finalité est de créer des concepts. L'élucidation du sens de ce terme dont l'usage philosophique diffère absolument de son usage marketing habituel fournit à elle seule une réponse à la question posée. Si les sciences opèrent par fonction et l'art par affects, le philosophe seul conceptualise.
Un livre de grande envergure qu'il faut savoir parcourir avec patience et avec cette attention emplie d'humilité qui constitue comme la fine pointe de l'intelligence. --Paul Klein [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Quand Nous Etions Orphelins'Book summary:383pages. 17x10,8x2,4cm. Poche. Christopher Banks, Anglais né à Shanghai à l'aube du XXe siècle, est devenu orphelin à 9 ans, à la suite de la disparition énigmatique de ses parents. Envoyé en Grande-Bretagne pour y poursuivre ses études, il devient un détective célèbre, résolvant les affaires les plus difficiles, avant de décider finalement de revenir sur les lieux de son enfance pour s'attaquer à l'énigme qui n'a cessé de le hanter : pourquoi ses parents ont-ils été enlevés ? Cet événement lourd de conséquences serait-il lié au trafic d'opium ? Mais est-il possible de cerner la vérité à partir de souvenirs évanescents, qui plus est dans une ville quotidiennement défigurée par les ravages de la guerre sino-japonaise ? Et peut-on faire confiance à un homme certes rigoureux, mais forcément impliqué émotionnellement dans son enquête ? Le lecteur est alors amené à endosser lui aussi l'habit de détective, en quête des bribes de vérité que livre la conscience labyrinthique du personnage. L'auteur virtuose des Vestiges du Jour explore ainsi à nouveau le territoire du dédale de la mémoire. Avec originalité et subtilité, perspicacité et finesse d'humour, il nous livre un roman remarquable, riche en émotions et en rebondissements. Le lecteur se laisse emporter avec plaisir par le souffle de cette ?uvre à l'atmosphère désenchantée, et qui invite à profiter des plaisirs minuscules de la vie. Un très bon cru, à consommer sans modération. -Nathalie Gouiffès [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Das Buch Ruth'Book summary:Willkommen im Reich der postmodernen Narrativität ( Narri! Narro!). Nun gut, Scherz beiseite, wer Ishiguro kennt, wird, auch wenn es sich wie hier um eine Kriminalgeschichte handelt, ohnehin keinen Schlaf raubenden Reißer erwarten. Kunst darf (muss?) schließlich auch ein wenig anstrengen.
Was uns erwartet: Christopher Banks, der Protagonist des Romans, ist, nach erfolgreichem Universitätsbesuch, zum berühmtesten Londoner Detektiv der 30er Jahre geworden. Er ist ein Philosoph, ein Metaphysiker des Detektivischen. Doch was treibt ihn ins Investigative? Wir erfahren es mittels ausführlicher Rückblenden. Banks verbringt Kindheit und Jugend in Shanghai und muss erleben, dass eines Tages seine Eltern verschwunden sind. Er ist besessen davon, das Geheimnis dieses Verschwindens zu ergründen. Nach und nach wird jedoch deutlich, dass diese scheinbar präzisen Erinnerungen in den zahllosen Rückblenden nicht so sehr der Aufhellung der Vergangenheit, als der Konstruktion eines Idealbildes seiner Kindheit dienen. Wir hören, dezent, dezent, die postmoderne Nachtigall trapsen: Nicht die Geschichte als solche ist besonders wichtig, sondern die Beschreibung des postmodernen Ego im Prozess seiner Selbstfindung, seines Bemühens, Ordnung ins allgegenwärtige Chaos zu bringen.
In gewissem Sinne steht dieser Roman in einer Tradition des Kafkaesken ( nicht Kafkas!!): der Beschreibung des Unwirklichen und Unlogischen im vorgeblich Sinnhaften.
Lesbar und wider Erwarten unterhaltsam wird dieses Buch durch Ishiguros parodistisches Talent, auch wenn die manchmal unambitionierte bis fantasielose Übersetzung dem hohen literarischen Rang dieses Autors nicht immer gerecht wird. Trost und Versprechen zum Schluss: Das Mysterium des elterlichen Verschwindens wird tatsächlich enträtselt. --Dietrich Clausen [via]
