Hardcover, Buccaneer Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Bell Jar'Book summary:Plath was an excellent poet but is known to many for this largely autobiographical novel. The Bell Jar tells the story of a gifted young woman's mental breakdown beginning during a summer internship as a junior editor at a magazine in New York City in the early 1950s. The real Plath committed suicide in 1963 and left behind this scathingly sad, honest and perfectly-written book, which remains one of the best-told tales of a woman's descent into insanity. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Black Book'Book summary:A New Translation and Afterword by Maureen Freely
Galip is a lawyer living in Istanbul. His wife, the detective novelloving Ruya, has disappeared. Could she have left him for her ex-husband or Celâl, a popular newspaper columnist? But Celâl, too, seems to have vanished. As Galip investigates, he finds himself assuming the enviable Celâl's identity, wearing his clothes, answering his phone calls, even writing his columns. Galip pursues every conceivable clue, but the nature of the mystery keeps changing, and when he receives a death threat, he begins to fear the worst.
With its cascade of beguiling stories about Istanbul, The Black Book is a brilliantly unconventional mystery, and a provocative meditation on identity. For Turkish literary readers it is the cherished cult novel in which Orhan Pamuk found his original voice, but it has largely been neglected by English-language readers. Now, in Maureen Freelys beautiful new translation, they, too, may encounter all its riches. [via]More editions of The Black Book:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hemingway's France : Images of the Lost Generation'Book summary:Ernest Hemingway's literary ambitions took root in France in the 1920s among some of the most extravagantly creative artists of the 20th century. Hemingway joined them and, with the publication of his book, The Sun Also Rises, which epitomized Paris during the jazz era became one of the most powerful forces in their vortex of talent and experimentation.[via]
Winston Conrad's compelling text and contemporary color photographs in Hemingway's France are complimented by vintage black-and-white photos and illustrations that beautifully illuminate Hemingway's life during the "lost generation" years, during World War II and during his visit to France in the 1950s. Hemingway's France captures the charged atmosphere and the aesthetic of the time. Vintage photographs of Picasso, Fitzgerald, Hemingway and othersincluding those shot by American expatriates Gerald and Sara Murphycreate a sense of instant intimacy with the era. Some of these images are well-known, some are rare and some, including a 1940s portrait of Sinclair Lewis, have never been published before.More editions of Hemingway's France : Images of the Lost Generation:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Iliad of Homer'Book summary:With an Introduction and Notes by Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London The product of more than a decade's continuous work (1598-1611), Chapman's translation of Homer's great poem of war is a magnificent testimony to the power of the Iliad. In muscular, onward-rolling verse Chapman retells the story of Achilles, the great warrior, and his terrible wrath before the walls of besieged Troy, and the destruction it wreaks on both Greeks and Trojans. Chapman regarded the translation of this epic, and of Homer's Odyssey (also available in Wordsworth Editions) as his life's work, and dedicated himself to capturing the 'soul' of the poem. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Paris: City of Light'Book summary:"Nothing to Paris can ever be compared."--Eustache Deschamps, 1375[via]
Anyone who has visited Paris understands this: it is the city by which others may be measured, in inexhaustible place that takes root in one's soul.
Countless people-- artists, tourists, professional photographers-- have taken the city's measure. But Mimmo Jodice is the first to capture Paris as it catapults into an unknown future. Jodice's Paris is not the romanticized Paris of the popular imagination; it is a city undergoing a radical transformation. Before his lens, Paris is unfamiliar; even its landmarks vibrate with movement and possibility. In these extraordinary photographs, Jodice disrupts conventional notions of time and space, revealing Paris's momentum as it verges upon the millennium.
"As an artist," wrote Nietzsche, "a man has no home...save Paris." Throughout the centuries, this city has been a thematic focus for artists of all kinds, from François Rabelais to Claude Simon, from Benevenuto Cellini to Maurice Utrillo. The very first photography Daguerre made was of a Parisian street, pedestrians smudged out of existence by the long exposure. Later photographers-- Atget, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson, and countless others-- have all documented what they saw of the unique life and beauty of the city. But not until now has a photographer captured the city itself in transition. Jodice's Paris is both a familiar Paris-- a Paris of classical grace-- and one of sharp-edged raw newness and speed.
From a still, rain-glazed alley in the Latin Quarter to the sleek geometry of I. M. Pei's pyramid at the Louvre; from a moment of silent intimacy with one of the sculptures at the Musée Rodin to a superhighway careening through a tangle of glass towers-- Jodice discovers in Paris the soul within the inanimate, the whirlwind of life that secretly infuses the very stones of the city. Spaces designed for human interaction-- a banquet hall, gardens, museum steps, a Metro station-- although conspicuously vacant, tremble with vitality.
In Paris: City of Light, Jodice's remarkable photographs are supplemented by reflections on the city by some of history's greatest writers and thinkers-- including Charles Baudelaire, F. T. Marinetti, Raymond Queneau, and others. Their words together with Jodice's luminous photographs provide a renewed vision of the world's best-loved city, by one of the world's most revered photographers.
Jodice's photographs in Paris: City of Light were commissioned by the City of Paris and are part of an exhibition opening in May 1998 at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris.
"Through the images featured in this book, Mimmo Jodice joins the prestigious lineage of the city's photographers who, like Marville or Atget, have known how to celebrate, through their art, Paris and her metamorphoses."--Jean-Luc Monterosso, Director, Maison Européenne de la Photographie, from the ForewordMore editions of Paris: City of Light:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Paris, When It's Naked'Book summary:Fiction. Etel Adnan's novel "PARIS, WHEN IT'S NAKED amazes our retinas, ears, lips, fingertips, and noses with sensing, talking, and envisioning the city of Baudelaire and Delacroix, Mallarme and Picasso, Sartre and Djuna Barnes, Miller and Nin, Vietnamese and African refugees, revolutions and Bohemia. This tale of the Creative Now is told through the fine-tuned sensibility of Etel Adnan, the expatriate poet-painter who knows the French Capital as wholly as she does Beirut and San Francisco, her other homes. She is also the author of SITT MARIE-ROSE, an underground novel of the Lebanese Civil War, and many books of poetry. Her new work is a philosophically charged lyric in prose. The elan vital of every word evokes the eternal present of this wise woman. A highly personal, life-enhancing masterpiece in a deathly age of impersonality. An indespensable book by an indispensable writer" -Morgan Gibson. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Pure and the Impure'Book summary:Colette herself considered The Pure and the Impure her best book, "the nearest I shall ever come to writing an autobiography." This guided tour of the erotic netherworld with which Colette was so intimately acquainted begins in the darkness and languor of a fashionable opium den. It continues as a series of unforgettable encounters with men and, especially, women whose lives have been improbably and yet permanently transfigured by the strange power of desire. Lucid and lyrical, The Pure and the Impure stands out as one of modern literature's subtlest reckonings not only with the varieties of sexual experience, but with the always unlikely nature of love.

Hardcover, Abbeville Promotional
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Treasures of the Louvre'Book summary:This volume offers a grand tour of one of the world's greatest museums, featuring masterpieces dating from ancient civilizations to the 19th century. Two hundred years ago, the doors of hte Louvre opened to the public for the very first time. The palace of the French Kings had been transformed into a museum that today stretches over an enormous area right in the heart of Paris. The royal collections first assembled by Francis I in the 16th century were later transferred to the Louvre palace, and this prestigious core was further enriched with artistic treasures during the Revolutionary period. The collections have been growing ever since, and today are divided into seven departments. Oriental Antiquities, Egyptian Antiquities and Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities illustrate the art and culture of the ancient Near East, Middle East and Mediterranean countries. The other four so-called "modern" departments - painting, sculpture, decorative arts and drawing - span Western art from the height of the Middle Ages to the mid-19th century. With over 400 superb reproductions, this comprehensive guide book highlights the extraordinary range of artistic traditions that have gradually found their place in the Louvre. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Wicked French/for the Traveler'Book summary:Caveat emptor: Any traveler to France who actually says to the customs agent Bien sur, soyez le bienvenu pour reduire ma valise en miettes. Heureusement ce ne sont que des valises moches de Louis Vuitton! (Of course you're welcome to tear my suitcase apart. Lucky they're only these tacky Louis Vuitton bags!) is likely to find him or herself detained at the customs desk for a nice, long spell. Likewise, responding to a waiter's suggestion with Je reserve la lamproie a la bordelaise pour un occasion speciale (I'm saving a stew of blood-sucking eels for a very special occasion.) just about guarantees bad service. In other words, the French you'll learn from Wicked French for Travelers is probably best enjoyed at home before you go.
Like Henry Beard's French for Cats this slim volume is meant to amuse more than educate. Surely you wouldn't really expect some Parisian beauty to respond to a pick-up line like Comment vous appelez-vous, mon bijou de trente-six carats? (What is your name, my jewel of thirty-six carats?) or hope to make it out of a post office alive after demanding of the clerk if he has a porcupine stuck up his rear end (avez-vous un porc-epic coince entre les fesses?). Our advice: Read Wicked French and have a good laugh before you go--but take a different phrase book with you on your trip. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Candido, O El Optimismo'Book summary:The novella begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply optimism) by his mentor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not outright rejecting optimism, advocating an enigmatic precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds".
Desde un punto de vista sardónico, la obra sigue las peripecias del protagonista Cándido en su primer encuentro con el precepto del optimismo leibniziano de que «todo sucede para bien en este, el mejor de los mundos posibles» y en una serie de aventuras subsecuentes que refutan de forma dramática el famoso precepto a pesar del obstinamiento con el que el personaje se aferra a éste.
La novela satiriza la filosofía de Leibniz, y es un muestrario de los horrores del mundo del siglo XVIII. En Cándido, Leibniz está representado por el filósofo Pangloss, tutor del protagonista. A pesar de observar y experimentar una serie de infortunios, Pangloss afirma repetidamente que «tout est au mieux» («todo sucede para bien») y que vive en «le meilleur des mondes possibles» («el mejor de los mundos posibles»).
