Book summary:
In American Roulette, Richard Marcus tells his never-before-heard story, of ripping off casinos. The book follows Marcus, along with several of the world's great professional casino cheaters, as he travels from Las Vegas to London and Monte Carlo, pilfering large sums of money from casinos by performing sleight of hand magic tricks with gaming chips. As skilled cheaters, they back up their moves with psychological setups to convince pit bosses that they're watching legitimate high rollers getting lucky, while in fact they're being ripped off blind.

With the exploding growth of casino gambling, heightened by Indian reservation and riverboat expansion, more and more elaborate casino cheaters are illegally assaulting the green-felt, getting rich off of novice casino personnel. Richard Marcus's insider story is a window into the hidden world of intriguing personalities and tense situations he encounters as a member of expert casino-cheating teams who use their wits to turn the odds upside down and "earn" millions. American Roulette is a fascinating story not only for those who occasionally casino-gamble, but for everyone with a little larceny in their heart.

Book summary:
Anyone who has read J.D. Salinger's New Yorker stories ? particularly A Perfect Day for Bananafish, Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut, The Laughing Man, and For Esme ? With Love and Squalor, will not be surprised by the fact that his first novel is fully of children. The hero-narrator of THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is an ancient child of sixteen, a native New Yorker named Holden Caulfield. Through circumstances that tend to preclude adult, secondhand description, he leaves his prep school in Pennsylvania and goes underground in New York City for three days. The boy himself is at once too simple and too complex for us to make any final comment about him or his story. Perhaps the safest thing we can say about Holden is that he was born in the world not just strongly attracted to beauty but, almost, hopelessly impaled on it. There are many voices in this novel: children's voices, adult voices, underground voices-but Holden's voice is the most eloquent of all. Transcending his own vernacular, yet remaining marvelously faithful to it, he issues a perfectly articulated cry of mixed pain and pleasure. However, like most lovers and clowns and poets of the higher orders, he keeps most of the pain to, and for, himself. The pleasure he gives away, or sets aside, with all his heart. It is there for the reader who can handle it to keep. [via]

Book summary:
Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with "cynical adolescent." Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he's been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists. It begins,

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them."
His constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies (the two of course are not mutually exclusive) capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation. [via]

Book summary:
Goethe's Faust reworks the late-medieval myth of Dr Faust, a brilliant scholar so disillusioned he resolves to make a contract or wager with the devil, Mephistopheles. The devil will do all he asks on Earth and seek to grant him a moment in life so glorious that he will wish it to last for ever. But if Faust does bid the moment stay, he falls to Mephisto and must serve him after death. In this first part of Goethe's great work the embittered thinker and Mephistopheles enter into their agreement, and soon Faust is living a life beyond his study and - in rejuvenated form - winning the love of the charming and beautiful Gretchen. But in this compelling tragedy of arrogance, unfulfilled desire and self-delusion, Faust, served by the devil, heads inexorably towards destruction. [via]

Book summary:
Randall Jarrell's translation of Goethe's classic, illustrated with extraordinary new drawings by Peter Sis

Randall Jarrell's translation of Faust is one of his most important achievements. In 1957 he inscribed Goethe's motto on the first page of his notebook: "Ohne Hast aber ohne Rast" ("Without haste but without rest"), and from then until his death in 1965 he worked on the masterpiece of his "own favorite daemon, dear good great Goethe." His intent was to make the German poetry free, unrhymed poetry in English. He all but finished the job before he died, and the few lines that remained untouched--Gretchen's Spinning Song--were rendered into English by Robert Lowell.

This elegant new edition features numerous beautiful line drawings by the renowned Czech artist, Peter Sis, author of the award-winning books The Starry Messenger and Tibet: Through the Red Box.

Book summary:
Goethes masterpiece and perhaps the greatest work in German literature, Faust has made the legendary German alchemist one of the central myths of the Western world. Here indeed is a monumental Faust, an audacious man boldly wagering with the devil, Mephistopheles, that no magic, sensuality, experience, or knowledge can lead him to a moment he would wish to last forever. Here, in Faust, Part I, the tremendous versatility of Goethes genius creates some of the most beautiful passages in literature. Here too we experience Goethes characteristic humor, the excitement and eroticism of the witches Walpurgis Night, and the moving emotion of Gretchens tragic fate.

This authoritative edition, which offers Peter Salms wonderfully readable translation as well as the original German on facing pages, brings us Faust in a vital, rhythmic American idiom that carefully preserves the grandeur, integrity, and poetic immediacy of Goethes words. [via]

Book summary:
The second part of goethe's masterpiece opens with faust struggling to recover from the death of his beloved gretchen. The quick-witted demon mephistopheles soon persuades him to look beyond his sorrow and enter the world of politics and power, but the great scholar is still eager for new sensations, and asks mephistopheles to reveal helen of troy to him in a vision. Overwhelmed by her beauty, faust demands she be brought back from the underworld - but even this fails to bring him contentment, and his appetite for knowledge remains unsated. Completed a few months before goethe's death, this rich and allusive work weaves together a wealth of diverse philosophical ideas and influences, reworking the medieval myth of dr. Faustus and speculating upon the search for truth in the age of enlightenment [via]

Book summary:
Goethe said that all his works were "one long confession," and certainly into Faust, this greatest masterwork of German literature, on which he worked sixty years, he welded his own search for meaning of existence and of the soul.
From the wager between God and Mephistopheles and the pact Faust makes with the latterthat this genial, urbane devil could have his soul if ever Faust became satisfied with any experience or knowledge Mephistopheles could show himthe drama unfolds in scenes that are human and compelling, that hold the reader by their despair and ecstasy, their tender love, passionate desire and wisdom, but also by their gaiety, humor, and irony. As Faust proceeds with his devilish guide, it is his striving for understanding that becomes important, not the attainment, and in fact this is what saves him in the end.

Part I of Faust, which Goethe published twenty-four years before its sequel, deals with Faust's journey through the everyday world and his love for Gretchen. It is made especially memorable in this translation, which Victor Lange, Chairman of the Department of German at Princeton, has called "certainly the most usable and most appealing Faust translation in English. It is modern without losing the dignity of the original and is perhaps the only translation that conveys something of the freshness and poetic vitality of Goethe's own speech." [via]

Book summary:
Klappentext:
Goethe selbst hat die bündigste Inhaltsangabe zu seinem >Werther< gegeben: »Eine Geschichte (...), darin ich einen jungen Menschen darstelle, der (...) sich in schwärmende Träume verliert, sich durch Spekulation untergräbt, bis er zuletzt durch dazutretende unglückliche Leidenschaften, besonders eine endlose Liebe zerrüttet, sich eine Kugel vor den Kopf schießt.«

Nonkonformismus als Rebellion der Gefühle - diese Botschaft des berühmten Briefromans, der innerhalb der deutschen Literatur den Beginn der modernen Prosa markiert, ist heute so aktuell wie vor 200 Jahren und gilt als Schlüsselwerk des Sturm und Drang. Er thematisiert den unüberbrückbaren Zwiespalt zwischen Geist und Natur, zwischen Ich und Gesellschaft, den der sensible Bürgersohn Werther empfindet und an dem er zerbricht. Bei seinen Zeitgenossen wurde Goethes Roman äußerst kontrovers diskutiert, da er darin mit den damaligen bürgerlichen Wertvorstellungen brach und somit bei den Kritikern eine Welle der Entrüstung auslöste.
»Es ist ein Meisterwerk, worin hinreißendes Gefühl und frühreifer Kunstverstand eine fast einmalige Mischung eingehen. Jugend und Genie sind sein Gegenstand, und aus Jugend und Genie ist es selbst geboren.« Thomas Mann

Künstlerinformation:
Johann Wolfgang Goethe (geadelt 1782) wurde am 28. August 1749 in Frankfurt am Main geboren und starb am 22. März 1832 in Weimar. Sein Werk prägte die Epochen des »Sturm und Drang« und der »deutschen Klassik«. Es umfasst sämtliche literarischen Gattungen, dazu autobiographische Schriften und naturwissenschaftliche Studien. Goethe stand in regem Kontakt zu allen geistigen Größen seiner Zeit und seine Wirkung auf die Literatur ist bis heute ungebrochen. Nicht nur im eigenen Land gilt er als größter Dichter der Deutschen.
