› Find signed collectible books: 'Born On The Fourth Of July'Book summary:[via]A great, courageous fellow, a man of deep moral convictions and an uncompromising disposition. John Kerry on Ron Kovic
As relevant as ever, this book is an education. Ron is a true American, and his great heart and hard-won wisdom shine through these pages. Oliver Stone, filmmaker
Born on the Fourth of July brings back the era of the Vietnam War at a time when the Establishment is trying to make the nation forget what they call the Vietnam syndrome. Ron Kovics memoir is written with poetic passion and grips your attention from the very first page to the last. It is a classic of antiwar literature and I hope it will be read by large numbers of young people, who will be both sobered and inspired by his story. Howard Zinn
If you want to understand the everlasting reverberations of our war in Vietnam and how it impacts our current events, you must read this book. LARRY HEINEMANN
There is no book more relevant in the 21st century to healing the wound of Vietnam, which continues to bring so much pain to our country, as reflected in the last presidential election . . . It remains to Kovic to remind us that history matters, and that the cost of our high follies persists. ROBERT SCHEER, Los Angeles Times columnist
This New York Times bestseller (more than one million copies sold) details the author's life story (portrayed by Tom Cruise in the Oliver Stone film version)--from a patriotic soldier in Vietnam, to his severe battlefield injury, to his role as the country's most outspoken anti-Vietnam War advocate, spreading his message from his wheelchair.

Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carolby Charles Dickens, Gustave DoreISBN 188895700X (1-888957-00-X)
Hardcover, McE Pub
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Charles Dickens' a Christmas Carol'Book summary:Dust jacket notes: "This is the first book edition of a remarkable set of 45 lost wood engravings from 1861 by Gustave Dore, the great French illustrator. Recently discovered in an obscure old French magazine, they somehow eluded the grasp of scholars for the last 135 years. Apparently, even Charles Dickens did not know of their existence. They are by far the largest set of Victorian engravings for the story, and they include the first drawing ever made of Tiny Tim! But this beautiful Christmas gift book is much more than that. It also contains the full text of A Christmas Carol, plus all the other early sets of illustrations for the story (by Leech, Phiz, Abbey, Barnard, etc.) making a total of nearly 200 Victorian engravings! The dust jacket front cover features several of the lost engravings, colorized by artist Mike Nicastre. A scholarly introduction by Dan Malan, who discovered this set of lost engravings while writing a major reference work on Dore, explores the significance of the lost engravings and the relationship between Dickens and Dore, with lists of their illustrated editions...."

Hamletby William Shakespeare, Neil TaylorISBN 1904271332 (1-904271-33-2)
Softcover, Arden Shakespeare
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Hamlet'Book summary:Pour mener à bien sa vengeance sans éveiller les soupçons, Hamlet feint la folie. Lorsque le fantôme de son père lui révèle que Claudius, souverain actuel et frère du défunt roi, est le meurtrier de celui-ci, on s'attend à une stratégie ingénieuse, d'autant que le prince semble plein de courage, d'insolence et d'esprit. Or, durant quatre actes, il ne commet qu'un seul meurtre, conséquence d'une erreur de perception. À la fin de la pièce, il venge son père, mais in extremis.
Hamlet est une tragédie intérieure, presque intime, dont le rythme est motivé par les hésitations du héros qui donnent lieu à des scènes superbes de grandeur pathétique, car elles disent l'aspiration de l'homme à la liberté et au repos, malgré l'enfermement obsessionnel auquel l'existence le condamne. Tragédie du doute, voyage dans un esprit qui ne rêve que d'immatérialité mais ne parvient pas à prendre son envol, Hamlet, pièce mélancolique, nous invite à un saut existentiel. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]

Softcover, Unknown UK Publisher
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Le Tour du Monde en 80 Jours'Book summary:Jules Verne aimait le grand spectacle, ses effets de scène et ses coups de théâtre. Et certains de ses livres, Le Tour du monde en 80 jours notamment, sont conçus comme des machines théâtrales. Tout y est calibré, ajusté pour tenir le lecteur en haleine, l'étonner, le distraire ou le prendre à contre-pied. On est en pleine esthétique romantique, celle de Dumas en particulier, avec qui Verne collabora un temps. Mais le Tour du monde c'est aussi l'avènement du monde industriel, le culte de la machine, de l'efficacité, le pointage horaire étendu à une échelle universelle. Culte porté jusqu'à l'outrance, avec un humour féroce, une ironie mordante : Verne n'est pas dupe. Et s'il agite ses personnages comme des marionnettes prises de frénésie, c'est pour, en sourdine, articuler un discours de révolte : Philéas Fogg n'est pas si loin de Némo l'anarchiste, nouveau Faust moderne, et ce texte éblouissant cache bien des profondeurs. --Scarbo [via]

Novels, 1942-1952by John Steinbeck, Robert DemottISBN 1931082073 (1-931082-07-3)
Hardcover, Penguin Group USA
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Novels, 1942-1952'Book summary:This third volume in The Library of America's authoritative edition of John Steinbeck's writings shows one of America's most enduring popular writers continuing restlessly to explore new subject matter and new approaches to storytelling.[via]
The Moon Is Down (1942), set in an unnamed Scandinavian country under German occupation, dramatizes the transformation of ordinary life under totalitarian rule and the underground struggle against the Nazi invaders. In Cannery Row (1945) Steinbeck paid tribute to his closest friend, the marine biologist Ed Ricketts, in the central character of Doc, proprietor of the Western Biological Laboratory and spiritual and financial mainstay of a cast of philosophical drifters and hangers-on. The comic and bawdy evocation of the main street of Monterey's sardine-canning district has made this one of the most popular of all Steinbeck's novels. Steinbeck's long involvement with Mexican culture is distilled in The Pearl (1947). Expanding on an anecdote he had heard about a boy who found a pearl of unusual size, Steinbeck turned it into an allegory of the corrupting influence of sudden wealth. The Pearl appears here with the original illustrations by José Clemente Orozco.
Ambitious in scale and original in structure, East of Eden (1952) recounts the violent and emotionally turbulent history of a Salinas Valley family through several generations. Drawing on Biblical parallels, East of Eden is an epic that explores the writer's deepest and most anguished concerns within a landscape that for him had mythic resonance.More editions of Novels, 1942-1952:

› 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 Taming of the Shrewby Morris, Brian MorrisISBN 1903436109 (1-903436-10-9)
Softcover, Arden Shakespeare
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Taming of the Shrew'Book summary:Brian Morris was Professor of English Literature at Sheffield University and a general editor of both the Arden Shakespeare and the New Mermaid Dramatists series. His other publications include editions of the plays of John Ford and the poems of John Cleveland.[via]Morriss introduction begins with a discussion of the text as it first appeared in the First Folio of 1623. In the next section, he analyzes the problematic relationship between The Taming of the Shrew and The Taming of a Shrew, a different play which first appeared in text 29 years before the First Folio, and whose virtually identical name has caused much confusion. Morris then considers the date, sources, and authorship of the play, addressing the question of whether Shakespeare himself wrote it. In the last and most substantial part of the introduction, the editor examines the plays structures, themes (such as education, love, and marriage), and afterlife. Three appendices follow the text of the play: evidence to establish the relationship of The Shrew and A Shrew, from Samuel Hickson; the Sly scenes in A Shrew; and a source (from Gascoignes Supposes) and analogues.The Arden Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected in the thoroughness of each volume. An introduction comprehensively contextualizes the play, chronicling the history and culture that surrounded and influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing and performance, and closely surveying critical approaches to the work. Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting, and analyze the differing Quarto and Folio sources. A full commentary by one or more of the plays foremost contemporary scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms and drawing from an abundance of research and expertise to explain allusions and significant background information. Highly informative and accessible, Arden offers the fullest experience of Shakespeare available to a reader.More editions of The Taming of the Shrew:

Softcover, Pgw
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Time Out Film Guide'Book summary:A film reference book with a distinctly British flavor, the Time Out Film Guide is a collection of capsule reviews written originally for the London magazine Time Out. Its commentary is more lengthy and detailed than that of most other guides, and while some of its critics summarize too much of their movies' plots, their critical remarks are engaging and provocative. The Time Out Film Guide features contributions from scores of movie critics who sometimes spar with one another: compare the book's two assessments of Blade Runner. The reviewers cover many European and Asian movies you won't find in other movie guides. This is the only film book where you can find remarks on Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, and Forrest Gump alongside reviews of major films not widely released in America, such as Samuel Beckett and Buster Keaton's Film, Akira Kurosawa's Madadayo, and Michelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman. The Time Out Film Guide also contains a great number of terrific appendices and indices. In fact, it is this book's lists of films by genre, by major film-producing country, by actor, director, and general subject that make it a necessary reference tool for movie lovers. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'L'insoutenable Legerete De L'etre: Roman'Book summary:Tomas et Teresa sont les deux pôles du roman. Faut-il choisir de porter le poids du passé sur ses épaules, comme Teresa qui ne peut se passer de la Tchécoslovaquie, qu'elle a pourtant fuie après le Printemps de Prague, de même qu'elle ne peut vivre sans Tomas, ce mari qu'elle chérit d'un amour jaloux et, par-là, à jamais insatisfait ? Ou bien faut-il préférer à cette pesanteur la légèreté de l'être qui caractérise Tomas et Sabina, la maîtresse amie qui seule peut comprendre le médecin séducteur explorant les femmes comme s'il disséquait des objets d'étude au scalpel ? Ne sachant quelle orientation est la plus supportable, le roman offre tour à tour le regard des différents personnages. Même le chien Karénine a droit au chapitre. Mais ce ballet incertain teinté d'irréalité apparaît vite comme une interrogation dialectique qui oscille entre réflexion et délire poétique pour aboutir à la conclusion que la pesanteur et la légèreté, pareillement insoutenables, ne procèdent jamais d'une décision véritable. --Sana Tang-Léopold Wauters [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Les Quatre Filles Du Dr March'Book summary:On est en Amérique, en pleine guerre de Sécession. Le docteur March est au front et sa petite famille doit survivre. Heureusement, les quatre soeurs March et leur mère forment un clan très uni qui affronte l'adversité avec courage et bonne humeur malgré tout.
L'auteur s'est fortement inspirée de sa propre vie pour écrire cette histoire. On la reconnaîtra sous les traits de Jo, le garçon manqué de la famille. Depuis sa publication en 1868, ce roman n'a cessé d'enchanter ses lecteurs, les petites filles surtout, qui se reconnaissent dans l'une ou l'autre des quatre soeurs. Sans jamais sombrer dans le mélo, l'histoire est extrêmement touchante, car la vie des personnages est ponctuée de beaucoup de joies mais aussi de grands moments d'angoisse. On suit avec plaisir les péripéties quotidiennes de leur existence, leur évolution aussi, puisque les quatre jeunes filles ne seront pas tout à fait les mêmes à la fin du roman. Ajoutons que ce livre présente pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui un nouvel intérêt, celui de découvrir l'intimité de la vie d'une famille américaine au XIXe siècle, qui revêt pour nous nombre d'aspects étonnants et pittoresques. --Pascale Wester [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Stupeurs et Tremblements'Book summary:174pages. in8. Broché. "Tout ce qu'on peut dire de l'Inde est vrai, on y voit les choses plus clairement parce que c'est le chaos", affirme Arundhati Roy à propos de ce premier livre qui lui a valu le Booker Prize en 1997. La jeune romancière indienne s'est inspirée du village d'Ayemenem, dans l'État de Kerala en Inde du sud, où elle a grandi. Un monde de bruit et de fureur vu à travers le regard de Rahel et de son frère Estha, deux jumeaux silencieux, perdus dans le monde des adultes et contraints par eux à la pire des trahisons. Dans l'odeur douceâtre de l'usine de confitures de la grand-mère, la lutte des classes rejoint la lutte des castes et autour de la redoutable grand-tante Baby Kochamma s'agitent des personnages tragiques ou pittoresques comme l'oncle Charko ou Ammu, la mère des jumeaux, abandonnée par son mari et amoureuse en secret d'un Intouchable. La seule loi qui régisse ce chaos est celle qui précise "qui devait être aimé et jusqu'à quel point", une loi qu'il coûte toujours cher d'enfreindre, en Inde ou ailleurs. -Gérard Meudal [via]

On est en pleine esthétique romantique, celle de Dumas en particulier, avec qui Verne collabora un temps. Mais le Tour du monde c'est aussi l'avènement du monde industriel, le culte de la machine, de l'efficacité, le pointage horaire étendu à une échelle universelle. Culte porté jusqu'à l'outrance, avec un humour féroce, une ironie mordante : Verne n'est pas dupe. Et s'il agite ses personnages comme des marionnettes prises de frénésie, c'est pour, en sourdine, articuler un discours de révolte : Philéas Fogg n'est pas si loin de Némo l'anarchiste, nouveau Faust moderne, et ce texte éblouissant cache bien des profondeurs. --Scarbo [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Voyage au Centre de la Terre: Level 1'Book summary:Jules Verne s'amuse. La littérature est un jeu pour lui, chaque livre l'occasion d'un nouveau pari, plus insensé que le précédent. Un fou de savant (il en produira par dizaines, de ces illuminés, tous plus extravagants les uns que les autres) descend en compagnie d'un adolescent candide et d'un guide muet, jusqu'au centre (enfin, presque) de la Terre, pour y créer une mer libre (eh oui, docteur Freud) avec ses tempêtes, son climat "méditerranéen", ses monstres antédiluviens, ses forêts pétrifiées puis remonte illico, à cent à l'heure, poussé par un torrent de lave en fusion... Sur les traces de son maître Edgar Poe (il avait lu ses oeuvres traduites par Baudelaire), Jules Verne prend le canular scientifique pour prétexte, et refaçonne un univers électrique, volcanique, traversé d'énergies furieuses, où sa puissance visionnaire éclate, à la mesure d'une folie créatrice insatiable et sans limites. --Scarbo [via]
