Mailer Norman;Lennon Michael. A proposito di Dio Una conversazione fuori dal comune. Dalai Editore, MILANO, 2008.

Price: US$4.45 + shipping

Description: I saggi ITALIANO IL LIBRO È USATO, PERTANTO POTREBBE PRESENTARE LIEVI DIFETTI/IMPERFEZIONI. LA FOTO CORRISPONDE AL LIBRO IN VENDITA. Con qualche segnatura a matita. Norman Mailer è una delle figure cardine della letteratura americana del Novecento. Nelle sue ultime opere e negli ultimi anni della sua vita è sembrato acquisire una nuova consapevolezza del rapporto dell'uomo con Dio, di quello tra fede e natura, bene e male. Questi dialoghi con Michael Lennon, amico dello scrittore e studioso della sua opera, costituiscono una ricapitolazione delle idee di Mailer sulla natura di Dio e della nostra esistenza. "Penso", scrive, "che la pietà sia oppressiva. Toglie aria ai pensieri." Sempre caustiche e originali, le sue riflessioni permettono di leggere la definizione del particolare sistema di valori dello scrittore e di una fede capace di rifiutare sia lo schematismo dottrinario delle religioni organizzate sia il vuoto di prospettive cui giunge l'ateismo. Per Mailer il mondo è stato creato da un Dio Artista, che come tutti gli artisti spesso ha successo ma altrettanto spesso fallisce nel portare a compimento i suoi progetti. Questo Dio non è onnipotente e neppure completamente buono, ed è soggetto ai progetti contrapposti delle forze maligne, che deve saper contrastare per la salvezza di se stesso e della sua creazione: un Dio che cresce, impara dai propri errori e cerca costantemente di migliorarsi. In questa visione, l'uomo ha la completa responsabilità delle proprie scelte ed è soggetto a un giudizio dopo la morte che non è assoluto, ma determinato dalle esperienze che ha compiuto nel corso della sua esistenza.

Joyce Carol Oates. La Hija Del Sepulturero. ALFAGUARA, 2008.

Price: US$6.67 + shipping

Condition: As New

Description: La epopeya de una mujer que debe reinventarse a sí misma. Una odisea erótica y turbulenta, intensamente provocadora y emotiva.En 1936, los Schwart, una familia de inmigrantes desesperada por escapar de la Alemania nazi, se instala en una pequeña ciudad de Estados Unidos. El padre, un profesor de instituto, es rebajado al único trabajo al que tiene acceso: sepulturero y vigilante de cementerio. Los prejuicios locales y la debilidad emocional de los Schwart suscitan una terrible tragedia familiar. Rebecca, la hija del sepulturero, comienza entonces su sorprendente peregrinación por la «América profunda», una odisea de riesgo erótico e intrépida imaginación que la obligará a reinventarse a sí misma.Joyce Carol Oates ha creado una pieza magistral de realismo mítico y doméstico, excepcionalmente emotiva y provocadora: un testimonio íntimo de la resistencia del individuo. En esta novela prodigiosa la violencia actúa como un faro iluminando una cultura y una época.** Premio Ja! Bilbao por el «modernísimo humor negro» de su obra.La crítica ha dicho:«Novelistas como John Updike, Philip Roth, Tom Wolfe y Norman Mailer compiten por el título de Gran Novelista Americano. Pero quizás ellos se equivocan. Tal vez la Gran Novelista Americana es una mujer.»The Herald«Una escritora de una extraordinaria fuerza. Ha tratado con una admirable consistencia el gran tema americano: la búsqueda de la propia identidad.»The Guardian«Oates evoluciona sin descanso como artista, explorando continuamente nuevos aspectos de la vida americana. La literatura es para ella un único género en el que trabaja con total inventiva, adaptando temas clásicos, homenajeando a grandes maestros, escribiendo en diversos estilos y formas, siempre fiel a su propia e intensa imaginación. Sólo nos queda rendirnos ante la todopoderosa fuerza de las virtudes de Joyce Carol Oates.»The New York Review of Books«Su incomparable prosa y su habilidad para mover a la reflexión a medida que va reinventando nuevos géneros son únicas. Pocos escritores son capaces de contar una historia con tanta convicción y entretenimiento.»Scotland on Sunday«Leer a Oates es como transitar por un campo de minas emocional, para volver a la tranquilidad y sacudir la cabeza ante tamañas lucidez y revelación.»The Washington Post Book World EAN: 9788420474236 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Literatura y ficción| Ficción contemporánea Título: La Hija Del SepultureroAutor: Joyce Carol Oates Editorial: ALFAGUARA (26 septiembre 2008) Idioma: ES Páginas: 688 Peso: 1000 Año de publicación: 2008

Arrthur Schlesinger. Journals 1952 - 2000. Atlantic Books, United Kingdom, London, 2008.

Price: US$7.23 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: Arthur Schlesinger, Jr, stood at the heart of post-war American political and cultural life - he knew most of the prominent political, cultural, and intellectual figures of the last fifty years. As these journals demonstrate, he was a master historian who enjoyed an extraordinary eyewitness vantage on history as it was being made.Frank, revelatory, suffused with wit and humanity, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr's never-before-seen journals offer an intimate history of post-war America, from his days on Adlai Stevenson's campaign team to his years in JFK and RFK's inner circle, through to the election of George W. Bush. They contain candid reminiscences of the defining events of our time - including the Bay of Pigs, the devastating assassinations of the 1960s, Vietnam, Watergate, the fall of the Soviet Union, and Bush v Gore. They also offer an extraordinary window into the lives of the remarkable range of politicians, intellectuals, writers, and actors who were his friends - from the Kennedys to Kissinger and the Clintons, from Norman Mailer to Lauren Bacall and Marilyn Monroe.Together Schlesinger's journals form an astonishingly vivid portrait of American politics and culture in the second half of the twentieth century - one that only a man who knew everyone, and missed nothing, could provide. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Price: US$7.80 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: Norman Mailer speaks intimately about the nature of God, His power and creativity, and the three way relationship between God, the devil, and man.Anyone who's read Norman Mailer's work - from The Naked and the Dead to The Castle in the Forest - knows throughout his career he's been grappling with questions of good and evil. That lifetime search for truth has led Mailer to his largest subject yet, God. In God: An Uncommon Conversation, Mailer speaks intimately about the nature of God, His power and creativity, and the three way relationship between God, the devil, and man. Mailer's theological worldview is surprisingly centrist: he abhors the false piety of fundamentalism while at the same time rejects the bleakness of atheism. His God is not limited to the God of Christianity, Judaism, or any other organized religion. Rather, he views God as an artist, a divine creator, a superior being in constant struggle to create a better version of humanity. Here, Mailer speaks with astonishing intimacy and wisdom.God: An Uncommon Conversation is written as a series of ten Platonic dialogues - the wise man speaking to his disciple about hisphilosophy. Yet you don't need to be familiar with Plato to understand the appeal of this form: by its very nature it's highly conversational, accessible, and humane. For the reader, it feels like sitting down one-on-one with Norman Mailer to discuss the large existential questions that we all struggle to understand. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Eliot, Marc. Song of Brooklyn : an Oral History of America's Favorite Borough / by Marc Eliot. New York : Broadway Books, 2008.

Price: US$11.08 + shipping

Description: A captivating oral portrait of America's favorite borough, in the words of those who know Brooklyn best-Mel Brooks, Spike Lee, Arthur Miller, Joan Rivers, Norman Mailer, Cousin Brucie, Maria Bartiromo, Pete Hamill, and many other current and former inhabitants. Song of Brooklyn gathers the oral testimony of nearly one hundred Brooklynites past and present, famous and unknown, about a mythic borough that is also an indisputably real place. These witnesses speak eloquently of what it was like back then, when the Dodgers played in Ebbets Field; later, when the borough fell on hard times; and now, when it has come roaring back on the tracks of a real-estate boom, giving it celebrity chic and hipster cred. With this surprising and inspiring renaissance in full swing, the story of Brooklyn is one of the great and still ongoing chapters of the American urban experience, and Song of Brooklyn sings that tune in pitch-perfect key. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 296 pages; Description: xviii, 296 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 293-294). Subjects: Oral history --New York (State) --New York 1 Kg.

Condition: Good

Description: NYRB, 2008. Texto en inglés. 223 pp. 20 x 13. An Informal History of the Republican and Democratic Conventions of 1968. Tapa blanda de editorial ilustrada. Sin subrayados. Perfecto estado de conservación. ISBN: 9781590172964. 1968. The Vietnam War was raging. President Lyndon Johnson, facing a challenge in his own Democratic Party from the maverick antiwar candidate Eugene McCarthy, announced that he would not seek a second term. In April, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated and riots broke out in inner cities throughout America. Bobby Kennedy was killed after winning the California primary in June. In August, Republicans met in Miami, picking the little-loved Richard Nixon as their candidate, while in September, Democrats in Chicago backed the ineffectual vice president, Hubert Humphrey. TVs across the country showed antiwar protesters filling the streets of Chicago and the police running amok, beating and arresting demonstrators and delegates alike. In Miami and the Siege of Chicago, Norman Mailer, America’s most protean and provocative writer, brings a novelist’s eye to bear on the events of 1968, a decisive year in modern American politics, from which today’s bitterly divided country arose.

Malaquais, Jean. Coups de barre. LE CHERCHE MIDI, 2008.

Price: US$12.56 + shipping

Description: Jean Malaquais (1908-1998) est un écrivain de langue française de très grande qualité, trop souvent ignoré, et dont l'oeuvre est à redécouvrir. Coups de barre est un recueil de sept nouvelles publié à New York, en 1944, aux Éditions de la Maison Française. Il se situe donc à mi-chemin entre Les Javanais (Prix Renaudot 1939, réédité par Phébus en 1995), le roman du métèque " à la grandeur épique, à la fois bouffonne et tragique ", pour reprendre le salut de Gide, et Planète sans visa, la fresque de Marseille-sous-Vichy (1947, réédité par Phébus en 1999), dont l'écrivain américain Norman Mailer a salué la puissance, l'ambition, l'ironie et l'indignation sourde à l'endroit d'une société comme la nôtre. Du récit à la tonalité joyeuse qu'est " La Montre " - dont le personnage central est un adolescent ouvert à toutes les aventures - à " Marianka " - dont la sobriété tragique est pétrie dans la violence collective de l'Histoire - en passant par l'humour à la fois tendre et grinçant du " Marchand de balais ", ou la folie meurtière des nouvelles maritimes " Il Piemonte " et " El Valiente ", Malaquais trempe sa plume dans la mouvance du réel. Il s'entend à faire voyager son lecteur. Ses personnages sont des nomades par essence, qui ne parlent que de partir, et le dynamisme de son écriture ouvre l'antre des mille langues qui se croisent sur la terre et parviennent, envers et contre tout, à communiquer. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol. (289 p.) - Poids : 376g - Langue : fre - Genre : Littérature française Romans Nouvelles Correspondance

Description: Malgré son titre, il n'est pas question de la guerre du Vietnam dans ce roman, mais d'une expédition de chasse, effrayante et obscène, dans les montagnes de l'Alaska. Alors pourquoi ce titre ? Dans la dernière phrase du livre, Norman Mailer donne une réponse : " Réfléchis, Amérique à tête de cul, et médite un peu sur ton con. Peut-être comprendras-tu pourquoi nous sommes au Vietnam. " Les héros de l'histoire sont un génie de dix-huit ans, incarnant toute la démesure névrosée de la jeune Amérique, et son père, Rusty, fleur vénéneuse poussée sur le fumier de la haute société de Dallas. En les suivant à travers bois et montagnes, à la poursuite des loups et des ours, Norman Mailer brosse le tableau le plus féroce qu'on ait jamais vu de la société américaine.

Gary Giddins. Natural Selection: Gary Giddins on Comedy, Film, Music, and Books. Oxford University Press Inc, United States, New York, 2008.

Price: US$17.07 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: Long recognized as America's most brilliant jazz writer, the winner of many major awards-including the prestigious National Book Critics Circle Award-and author of a highly popular biography of Bing Crosby, Gary Giddins has also produced a wide range of stimulating and original cultural criticism in other fields. With Natural Selection , he brings together the best of these previously uncollected essays, including a few written expressly for this volume. The range of topics is spellbinding. Writing with insight, humor, and a famously deft touch, he offers sharp-edged perspectives on such diverse subjects as Federico Fellini and Jean Renoir, Norman Mailer and Ralph Ellison, Marlon Brando and Groucho Marx, Duke Ellington and Bob Dylan, horror and noir, the cartoon version of Animal Farm and the comic book series Classics Illustrated . Giddins brings to criticism an uncommon ability, long demonstrated in his music writing, to address in very few words an entire career, so that we get an in-depth portrait of the artist beyond the film, book, or recording under review. For instance, Giddins offers a stunning reappraisal of Doris Day, who he terms the coolest and sexiest female singer of slow ballads in film history. He argues eloquently for a reconsideration of the forgotten German-language novelist Soma Morgenstern. In a section on comedy, he offers fresh perspectives on the three great silent film stars-Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd-while resurrecting the legendary Jack Benny and reevaluating the controversial Jerry Lewis. There's also a memorable look at Bing Crosby's film career (he calls Crosby's blockbuster Going My Way a neglected masterpiece) and a close examination of Marcel Carne's beloved Children of Paradise . Of course, Giddins also supplies excellent commentary on jazz: major and underrated figures, and especially the uses of jazz in film. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Price: US$18.49 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: Paperback. "I see God," wrote Norman Mailer, "as a Creator, as the greatest artist. I see human beings as His most developed artworks." In these moving, amusing, and probing dialogues conducted in the years before his death, Mailer establishes his own system of belief, rejecting both organized religion and atheism. He avows that sensual pleasures were bestowed on us by God; he finds fault with the Ten Commandments; and he holds that technology was the Devil's most brilliant creation. In short, Mailer is original and unpredictable in this inspiring journey, in which "God needs us as much as we need God."Praise for On God" Norman Mailer's theology is not theoretical to him. After eight decades, it is what he believes. He expects no adherents, and does not profess to be a prophet, but he has worked to forge his beliefs into a coherent catechism."-New York"The glory of an original mind in full provocation."-USA Today"At once illuminating and exciting . . . a chance to see Mailer's intellect as well as his lively conversational style of speech."-American Jewish Life"Remarkable . . . Mailer's a believer-in his own fashion. . . . He has made God into a complex character."-The Globe and MailPraise for Norman Mailer" Norman Mailer loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation."-The New York Times"A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent."-The New Yorker"Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure."-The Washington Post"A devastatingly alive and original creative mind."-Life"Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance."-The New York Review of Books"The largest mind and imagination in modern American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book."-Chicago Tribune"Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream."-The Cincinnati Post In this collection of moving, amusing, probing, and uncommon dialogues, Mailer establishes his own system of belief, one that rejects both organized religion and atheism and presents instead a view of the world as one created by an artistic God.

Harry Hubbard, ahijado de Harlot, casado con su ex esposa, sabe que también su vida está en peligro. Decide huir. Durante un año, escondido en un hotelucho de Nueva York, escribe sus memorias. En palabras del autor, «escribí este libro con la parte de mi mente que ha vivido en la CIA durante cuarenta años. No tenía necesidad de estar dentro de la organización ni conocer a sus oficiales íntimamente para sentir la seguridad de que había terminado por entender el tono de su funcionamiento interno». *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Eliot, Marc. Song of Brooklyn : an Oral History of America's Favorite Borough / by Marc Eliot. New York : Broadway Books, 2008.

Price: US$21.94 + shipping

Description: A captivating oral portrait of America's favorite borough, in the words of those who know Brooklyn best-Mel Brooks, Spike Lee, Arthur Miller, Joan Rivers, Norman Mailer, Cousin Brucie, Maria Bartiromo, Pete Hamill, and many other current and former inhabitants. Song of Brooklyn gathers the oral testimony of nearly one hundred Brooklynites past and present, famous and unknown, about a mythic borough that is also an indisputably real place. These witnesses speak eloquently of what it was like back then, when the Dodgers played in Ebbets Field; later, when the borough fell on hard times; and now, when it has come roaring back on the tracks of a real-estate boom, giving it celebrity chic and hipster cred. With this surprising and inspiring renaissance in full swing, the story of Brooklyn is one of the great and still ongoing chapters of the American urban experience, and Song of Brooklyn sings that tune in pitch-perfect key. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 296 pages; Description: xviii, 296 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 293-294). Subjects: Oral history --New York (State) --New York 1 Kg.

Malaquais, Jean. Coups de barre. LE CHERCHE MIDI, 2008.

Price: US$22.84 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: Jean Malaquais (1908-1998) est un écrivain de langue française de très grande qualité, trop souvent ignoré, et dont l'oeuvre est à redécouvrir. Coups de barre est un recueil de sept nouvelles publié à New York, en 1944, aux Éditions de la Maison Française. Il se situe donc à mi-chemin entre Les Javanais (Prix Renaudot 1939, réédité par Phébus en 1995), le roman du métèque " à la grandeur épique, à la fois bouffonne et tragique ", pour reprendre le salut de Gide, et Planète sans visa, la fresque de Marseille-sous-Vichy (1947, réédité par Phébus en 1999), dont l'écrivain américain Norman Mailer a salué la puissance, l'ambition, l'ironie et l'indignation sourde à l'endroit d'une société comme la nôtre. Du récit à la tonalité joyeuse qu'est " La Montre " - dont le personnage central est un adolescent ouvert à toutes les aventures - à " Marianka " - dont la sobriété tragique est pétrie dans la violence collective de l'Histoire - en passant par l'humour à la fois tendre et grinçant du " Marchand de balais ", ou la folie meurtière des nouvelles maritimes " Il Piemonte " et " El Valiente ", Malaquais trempe sa plume dans la mouvance du réel. Il s'entend à faire voyager son lecteur. Ses personnages sont des nomades par essence, qui ne parlent que de partir, et le dynamisme de son écriture ouvre l'antre des mille langues qui se croisent sur la terre et parviennent, envers et contre tout, à communiquer. - Nombre de page(s) : 1 vol.

Description: La correspondance inédite de Norman Mailer et de Jean Malaquais.Le célèbre écrivain américain Norman Mailer (prix Pulitzer en 1969 pour Les Armées de la nuit et en 1980 pour Le Chant du bourreau) et le romancier français Jean Malaquais (prix Renaudot 1939 pour Les Javanais) se sont rencontrés en 1947. Malaquais traduisit en français Les Nus et les Morts. Ce premier roman allait projeter Mailer sur la scène littéraire internationale. Leur tempérament et leur culture n'appelaient peut-être pas le rapprochement de ces deux hommes qu'une amitié chaleureuse et exigeante a cependant unis pendant un demi-siècle, et Mailer n'a jamais manqué de rappeler sa dette à l'endroit de son aîné : " Il a exercé sur moi plus d'influence que quiconque. " Très nourrie à certaines époques, la correspondance des deux écrivains ouvre, avec la lucidité de ses analyses tant littéraires que sociales et politiques mais aussi avec sa franchise sans compromissions, une fascinante fenêtre sur la trajectoire, publique et privée, de deux créateurs et sur des moments clés de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.

Emmett Grogan. Ringolevio (Paperback). The New York Review of Books, Inc, New York, 2008.

Price: US$23.99 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: Paperback. Ringolevio is a classic American story of self-invention by one of the more mysterious and alluring figures to emerge in the 1960s. Emmett Grogan grew up on New York City's mean streets, getting hooked on heroin before he was in his teens, kicking the habit and winning a scholarship to a swanky Manhattan private school, pursuing a highly profitable sideline as a Park Avenue burglar, then skipping town to enjoy the dolce vita in Italy. It's a hard-boiled, sometimes hard-to-believe, wildly entertaining tale that takes a totally unexpected turn when Grogan washes up in sixties San Francisco and becomes a leader of the anarchist group known as the Diggers. The Diggers, devoted to street theater, direct action, and distributing free food, were in the thick of the legendary Summer of Love, and soon Grogan is struggling with the naive narcissism of the hippies, the marketing of revolution as a brand, dogmatic radicals, and false prophets like tripster Timothy Leary. Above all, however, he struggles with himself.Ringolevio is an enigmatic portrait of a man and his times to set beside Hunter S. Thompson's stories of fear and loathing, Norman Mailer's The Armies of the Night, or the recent Chronicles of Bob Dylan, who dedicated his 1978 album Street Legal to the memory of Emmett Grogan.

Brad Geagley. Year of the Hyenas (Paperback). Simon & Schuster, New York, 2008.

Price: US$24.00 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: Paperback. Year of the Hyenas is a brilliant, original, and unique murder mystery, set in ancient Egypt at the height of that kingdom's glory and power. It is at once a strikingly insightful portrait of a mysterious, complex, and sophisticated society, reminiscent of Norman Mailer's Ancient Evenings in its wonderful detail and feel for the past, and a fast-paced detective story that reads like the best of twenty-first-century thrillers. From the oldest known court transcripts in history, Egyptologists have long known about the mysterious death of Ramses III, involving intrigue, ambition, greed, and crimes of passion on a huge, though hidden, scale. In Year of the Hyenas, Brad Geagley takes this event -- a struggle that nearly brought ancient Egypt to its knees -- as the backdrop for a story that is every bit as captivating as the distant civilization it resurrects.At the heart of the novel is Semerket, the so-called Clerk of Investigations and Secrets, a detective half-paralyzed by problems of his own, with a reputation for heavy drinking and tactless behavior toward the great, the powerful, and the holy, a kind of Sam Spade of the ancient world, deeply (and dangerously) addicted to the truth. Hard-bitten, deeply flawed, he is retained by the authorities to investigate what is considered an insignificant murder of an elderly, insignificant Theban priestess. They fail to inform him, however, that they don't expect him to solve the case. In fact, they don't want him to. But Semerket is not so easily fooled, and this is hardly an "insignificant" murder. As he delves deeper for the elusive truth, he uncovers a web of corruption so vast that it threatens the life of the last great Pharaoh, Ramses III, and the stability of the kingdom. Even worse, uncovering the conspiracy means more than just putting his own life on the line -- for, unbeknownst to Semerket, his adored ex-wife Naia has fallen afoul of those who would bring down the reign of Ramses, and he soon finds himself having to choose between saving her and saving Egypt.Merging historical fact and speculation with a nail-biting crime story that could be taking place in the present, Year of the Hyenas is a riveting and remarkable achievement.

Description: Paperback. "I see God," wrote Norman Mailer, "as a Creator, as the greatest artist. I see human beings as His most developed artworks." In these moving, amusing, and probing dialogues conducted in the years before his death, Mailer establishes his own system of belief, rejecting both organized religion and atheism. He avows that sensual pleasures were bestowed on us by God; he finds fault with the Ten Commandments; and he holds that technology was the Devil's most brilliant creation. In short, Mailer is original and unpredictable in this inspiring journey, in which "God needs us as much as we need God."Praise for On God" Norman Mailer's theology is not theoretical to him.

New York City, NY: The Penguin Press, 2008, 2008.

Price: US$33.00 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: 1st Printing. Signed. 287 pages. Published in 2008. The authors' account on the Iraq War. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Philip Gourevitch's and Errol Morris' "Standard Operating Procedure". SOP. Gourevitch and Morris focus on the American soldiers who were sent to Iraq as liberators only to find themselves turned into jailers in Saddam Hussein's dungeons, responsible for implementing a practice they were sent to fight against. "The story of the defining moment in the war, the infamous Abu Ghraib photographs of prisoner abuse, as seen through the eyes, and told through the voices, of the soldiers who took them and appeared in them. In the tradition of powerful storytelling that runs from Joseph Conrad's 'The Heart of Darkness' and Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'The Grand Inquisitor' to Norman Mailer's 'The Executioner's Song', Philip Gourevitch has written a relentlessly surprising and perceptive account of the front lines of the War on Terror" (Publisher's blurb). Gourevitch relies heavily on Errol Morris' recorded interviews with the soldiers (hence the shared credit), that are also the basis of Morris' documentary, which is excruciating to watch. No theater in the United States has screened it, but it has been shown in Europe. Susan Sontag's last essay, "Regarding The Torture of Others" (2004), argued that Abu Graib will remain the most iconic image of the war in Iraq long after the war itself is finally over. Gourevitch and Morris evidently agree, but see the scandal from the most painful perspective of all: The soldier-photographer-torturers themselves. "There is no keeping our hands clean of Abu Graib. Ignoring it doesn't work, nor does denouncing it, and there is no disavowing it, never mind denying it. The stain is inescapable and irreversible and it is ours, and if we have any hope of containing it and living it down it can only come from seeing it whole" (Philip Gourevitch). An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black pen on the title page by the author: "Philip Gourevitch 5/08". This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such signed and publication-month dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. Two of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1594201323.

Brad Geagley. Year of the Hyenas : A Novel of Murder in Ancient Egypt. Simon & Schuster, 2008.

Price: US$35.27 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Year of the Hyenas is a brilliant, original, and unique murder mystery, set in ancient Egypt at the height of that kingdom's glory and power. It is at once a strikingly insightful portrait of a mysterious, complex, and sophisticated society, reminiscent of Norman Mailer's Ancient Evenings in its wonderful detail and feel for the past, and a fast-paced detective story that reads like the best of twenty-first-century thrillers.From the oldest known court transcripts in history, Egyptologists have long known about the mysterious death of Ramses III, involving intrigue, ambition, greed, and crimes of passion on a huge, though hidden, scale. In Year of the Hyenas, Brad Geagley takes this event -- a struggle that nearly brought ancient Egypt to its knees -- as the backdrop for a story that is every bit as captivating as the distant civilization it resurrects.At the heart of the novel is Semerket, the so-called Clerk of Investigations and Secrets, a detective half-paralyzed by problems of his own, with a reputation for heavy drinking and tactless behavior toward the great, the powerful, and the holy, a kind of Sam Spade of the ancient world, deeply (and dangerously) addicted to the truth. Hard-bitten, deeply flawed, he is retained by the authorities to investigate what is considered an insignificant murder of an elderly, insignificant Theban priestess. They fail to inform him, however, that they don't expect him to solve the case. In fact, they don't want him to.But Semerket is not so easily fooled, and this is hardly an 'insignificant' murder. As he delves deeper for the elusive truth, he uncovers a web of corruption so vast that it threatens the life of the last great Pharaoh, Ramses III, and the stability of the kingdom. Even worse, uncovering the conspiracy means more than just putting his own life on the line -- for, unbeknownst to Semerket, his adored ex-wife Naia has fallen afoul of those who would bring down the reign of Ramses, and he soon finds himself having to choose between saving her and saving Egypt.Merging historical fact and speculation with a nail-biting crime story that could be taking place in the present, Year of the Hyenas is a riveting and remarkable achievement.

Emmett Grogan. Ringolevio (Paperback). The New York Review of Books, Inc, New York, 2008.

Price: US$39.11 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: Paperback. Ringolevio is a classic American story of self-invention by one of the more mysterious and alluring figures to emerge in the 1960s. Emmett Grogan grew up on New York City's mean streets, getting hooked on heroin before he was in his teens, kicking the habit and winning a scholarship to a swanky Manhattan private school, pursuing a highly profitable sideline as a Park Avenue burglar, then skipping town to enjoy the dolce vita in Italy. It's a hard-boiled, sometimes hard-to-believe, wildly entertaining tale that takes a totally unexpected turn when Grogan washes up in sixties San Francisco and becomes a leader of the anarchist group known as the Diggers. The Diggers, devoted to street theater, direct action, and distributing free food, were in the thick of the legendary Summer of Love, and soon Grogan is struggling with the naive narcissism of the hippies, the marketing of revolution as a brand, dogmatic radicals, and false prophets like tripster Timothy Leary. Above all, however, he struggles with himself.Ringolevio is an enigmatic portrait of a man and his times to set beside Hunter S. Thompson's stories of fear and loathing, Norman Mailer's The Armies of the Night, or the recent Chronicles of Bob Dylan, who dedicated his 1978 album Street Legal to the memory of Emmett Grogan. Ringolevio is a classic American story of self-invention by one of the more mysterious and alluring figures to emerge in the 1960s.

Price: US$42.26 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'I have all the copies of The Paris Review and like the interviews very much. They will make a good book when collected and that will be very good for the Review.'--Ernest HemingwaySince The Paris Review was founded in 1953, it has given us invaluable conversations with the greatest writers of our age, vivid self-portraits that are themselves works of finely crafted literature. From Salman Rushdie's daring rhetorical question 'why shouldn't literature provoke ' to Joyce Carol Oates's thrilling comments about her own prolific output, The Paris Review has elicited revelatory and revealing thoughts from our most accomplished novelists, poets, and playwrights. How did Georges Simenon manage to write about six books a year, what was it like for Jan Morris to write as both a man and a woman, what influences moved Ralph Ellison to write Invisible Man In the pages of The Paris Review, writers give more than simple answers, they offer uncommon candor, depth, and wit in interviews that have become the gold standard of the literary Q&A. With an introduction by Margaret Atwood, this volume brings together another rich, varied crop of literary voices, including Martin Amis, Norman Mailer, Raymond Carver, John Cheever, Harold Pinter, and more. 'A colossal literary event,' as Gary Shteyngart put it, The Paris Review Interviews, III, is an indispensable treasure of wisdom from the world's literary masters.

Bud Shrake. Land of the Permanent Wave : An Edwin "Bud" Shrake Reader. University Of Texas Press, 2008.

Price: US$48.60 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Edwin 'Bud' Shrake is one of the most intriguing literary talents to emerge from Texas. He has written vividly in fiction and nonfiction about everything from the early days of the Texas Republic to the making of the atomic bomb. His real gift has been to capture the Texas Zeitgeist. Legendary Harper's Magazine editor Willie Morris called Shrake's essay 'Land of the Permanent Wave' one of the two best pieces Morris ever published during his tenure at the magazine. High praise, indeed, when one considers that Norman Mailer and Seymour Hersh were just two of the luminaries featured at Harper's during Morris's reign.This anthology is the first to present and explore Shrake's writing completely, including his journalism, fiction, and film work, both published and previously unpublished. The collection makes innovative use of his personal papers and letters to explore the connections between his journalism and his novels, between his life and his art. An exceptional behind-the-scenes look at his life, Land of the Permanent Wave reveals and reveres the life and calling of a writer whose legacy continues to influence and engage readers and writers nearly fifty years into his career.

Mostly every authors poets and talented persons getting writers for paid their talents. Most of writers like Alexander Pushkin and John Milton have got their experience in the field of it. Large number of famous poets found that the large majority could be characterized as depressed. Add to that the fact that writers must struggle to scratch out a living and it isn't hard to understand why writers unlimited got its start.

Condition: New

Description: nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - JEAN-LUC GODARDThere¿s no one else quite like Jean-Luc Godard. You could take a few frames from one of his films and know they were by the maestro and nobody else. Where the flood of movies globally now runs into many thousands, Godard¿s works stand out as original, acerbic, romantic, ironic, humorous and explorative.EXTRACT FROM CHAPTER 2: ¿GODARD BIOGRAPHY¿With À Bout du Souffle, Godard produced one of the first, great French New Wave movies, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, and written by, among others, François Truffaut. À Bout du Souffle, with its cool Parisian milieu, its filmic and film noir allusions, handheld camera, direct sound, startling editing and stylish, self-conscious performances from Belmondo and Seberg, established Godard as one of the major voices of postwar cinema, a reputation which Godard built on in subsequent early films such as Le Petit Soldat (1960), Une Femme Est Une Femme (1961), Vivre Sa Vie (1962), Le Mépris (1963), Bande à Part (1964), and Une Femme Mariée (1964).In these films of the early to mid-1960s, Godard established a radical, polemical series of films as film-essays which confronted issues such as late consumer capitalism, prostitution, labour, politics, ideology, gender, marriage, music, popular culture, Hollywood and not forgetting cinema itself.In the mid-1960s, Godard¿s films became increasingly political - the sci-fi film Alphaville (1965), Pierrot le Fou (1965), Made in U.S.A (1966), Masculine/ Féminin (1966), 2 ou 3 Choses Que Je Sais (1966) ¿ until, by 1967-68, the Marxist and Maoist influences permeated Godard¿s films: Weekend (1967), La Chinoise (1967), La Gai Savoir (1968), and One Plus One (Sympathy For the Devil, 1968). His concern was ¿not to make political films, but to make films politically¿ (my emphasis).In the 1970s, Godard moved into video and television territory, and worked with Anne-Marie Miéville on many projects: Ici Et Ailleurs (1974), Numéro Deux (1975), Comment Ça Va (1976), Six Fois Deux/ Sur Et Sous La Communication (1976), and France/ Tour/ Détour/ Deux/ Enfants (1977-78).In the late 1970s, Godard made a ¿return¿ to feature filmmaking, with the ¿sublime trilogy¿, Sauve Qui Peut (a.k.a. Every Man For Himself and Slow Motion, 1979), Passion (1982), and Prénom: Carmen (1983).Easily his most controversial film, Je Vous Salue Marie (Hail Mary), appeared in 1985; it was followed by Détective (1985), made to help finance the completion of Hail Mary, King Lear (1987), which starred Peter Sellars, Burgess Meredith, Molly Ringwald, Norman Mailer and Woody Allen, Nouvelle Vague (1990), Hélas Pour Moi (1993), For Ever Mozart (1997), Éloge de l¿Amour (In Praise of Love, 2000) and Notre Musique (2005).Fully illustrated.

Sean Mccann. A Pinnacle of Feeling : American Literature and Presidential Government. Princeton University Press, 2008.

Price: US$82.12 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - There is no more powerful symbol in American political life than the presidency, and the image of presidential power has had no less profound an impact on American fiction. A Pinnacle of Feeling is the first book to examine twentieth-century literature's deep fascination with the modern presidency and with the ideas about the relationship between state power and democracy that underwrote the rise of presidential authority.Sean McCann challenges prevailing critical interpretations through revelatory new readings of major writers, including Richard Wright, Gertrude Stein, Henry Roth, Zora Neale Hurston, Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, Norman Mailer, Don Delillo, and Philip Roth. He argues that these writers not only represented or satirized presidents, but echoed political thinkers who cast the chief executive as the agent of the sovereign will of the American people. They viewed the president as ideally a national redeemer, and they took that ideal as a model and rival for their own work.A Pinnacle of Feeling illuminates the fundamental concern with democratic sovereignty that informs the most innovative literary works of the twentieth century, and shows how these works helped redefine and elevate the role of executive power in American culture.

Gourevitch, Philip (Author) & Morris, Errol (Co-Author/Film Director). STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE - Rare Fine Copy of The First Hardcover Edition/First Printing: Double-Signed by Philip Gourevitch And Errol Morris - ONLY DOUBLE-SIGNED COPY ONLINE. New York City, NY: The Penguin Press, 2008, 2008.

Price: US$110.00 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: 1st Printing. Signed. 287 pages. Published in 2008. The authors' account on the Iraq War. Now considered a contemporary classic. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Philip Gourevitch's and Errol Morris' "Standard Operating Procedure". SOP. Gourevitch and Morris focus on the American soldiers who were sent to Iraq as liberators only to find themselves turned into jailers in Saddam Hussein's dungeons, responsible for implementing a practice they were sent to fight against. "The story of the defining moment in the war, the infamous Abu Ghraib photographs of prisoner abuse, as seen through the eyes, and told through the voices, of the soldiers who took them and appeared in them. In the tradition of powerful storytelling that runs from Joseph Conrad's 'The Heart of Darkness' and Fyodor Dostoevsky's 'The Grand Inquisitor' to Norman Mailer's 'The Executioner's Song', Philip Gourevitch has written a relentlessly surprising and perceptive account of the front lines of the War on Terror" (Publisher's blurb). Gourevitch relies heavily on Errol Morris' recorded interviews with the soldiers (hence the shared credit), that are also the basis of Morris' documentary, which is excruciating to watch. No theater in the United States has screened it, but it has been shown in Europe. Susan Sontag's last essay, "Regarding The Torture of Others" (2004), argued that Abu Graib will remain the most iconic image of the war in Iraq long after the war itself is finally over. Gourevitch and Morris evidently agree, but see the scandal from the most painful perspective of all: The soldier-photographer-torturers themselves. "There is no keeping our hands clean of Abu Graib. Ignoring it doesn't work, nor does denouncing it, and there is no disavowing it, never mind denying it. The stain is inescapable and irreversible and it is ours, and if we have any hope of containing it and living it down it can only come from seeing it whole" (Philip Gourevitch). An absolute "must-have" title for Philip Gourevitch and Errol Morris collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Philip Gourevitch 5/08". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. It is also very prominently, beautifully, and uniquely signed in black ink-pen on the same page by Errol Morris. This title is a great book. As far as we know, this is the only such double-signed copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Errol Morris, the greatest documentary filmmaker of our time, does NOT do signings. So this signed copy is exceptional. A rare signed copy thus. Two of the most brilliant American writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1594201323.

Sean McCann. A Pinnacle of Feeling (Hardcover). Princeton University Press, New Jersey, 2008.

Price: US$110.45 + shipping

Condition: New

Description: Hardcover. There is no more powerful symbol in American political life than the presidency, and the image of presidential power has had no less profound an impact on American fiction. A Pinnacle of Feeling is the first book to examine twentieth-century literature's deep fascination with the modern presidency and with the ideas about the relationship between state power and democracy that underwrote the rise of presidential authority. Sean McCann challenges prevailing critical interpretations through revelatory new readings of major writers, including Richard Wright, Gertrude Stein, Henry Roth, Zora Neale Hurston, Saul Bellow, Ralph Ellison, Norman Mailer, Don Delillo, and Philip Roth. He argues that these writers not only represented or satirized presidents, but echoed political thinkers who cast the chief executive as the agent of the sovereign will of the American people. They viewed the president as ideally a national redeemer, and they took that ideal as a model and rival for their own work.A Pinnacle of Feeling illuminates the fundamental concern with democratic sovereignty that informs the most innovative literary works of the twentieth century, and shows how these works helped redefine and elevate the role of executive power in American culture. There is no more powerful symbol in American political life than the presidency, and the image of presidential power has had no less profound an impact on American fiction. This book illuminates the fundamental concern with democratic sovereignty that informs the literary works of the twentieth century. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Gero von Boehm. Mythos Kennedy Joseph Kennedy Clan Kennedys John F. Robert Kennedy Jackie Gero von Boehm. Collection Rolf Heyne bearb. u. erw. Neuaufl., 2008.

Price: US$178.09 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: Die Kennedys gelten als das amerikanische Königshaus und sind wohl eine der berühmtesten Familiendynastien der Welt, faszinierende Ikonen von mythisch-tragischem Ausmaß. Die Kennedys sind ein Clan, der seine Macht auf Geld gründete, das Joseph Kennedy, der irische Einwanderer, nicht immer auf lupenreine Art verdient hatte, und diese Macht übten die Kennedys jahrzehntelang aus. Gero von Boehm begibt sich auf die Suche nach den Menschen hinter dem Mythos der Kennedys und porträtiert in einfühlsamen, fundierten Psychogrammen Rose und Joseph Kennedy, die Clan-Eltern, ihre Söhne John F. und Robert Kennedy, die glamouröse Jackie, die mehr als eine Stilikone ihrer Zeit war, und ergänzt seinen 2003 erschienen Bestseller um eine Charakterstudie des jungen, ebenfalls tragisch ums Leben gekommenen Sohn von Jackie und John F. Kennedy, des strahlenden Hoffnungsträgers John John. »Gero von Boehm führt uns den Mythos Kennedy mit der gleichen Intensität und Genauigkeit vor Augen, die auch seine Filme auszeichnen.« Aus dem Vorwort von Norman Mailer- Autor: Gero von Boehm gehört zu unseren angesehendsten Journalisten und Filmemachern. Seine Dokumentationen und Porträts, z. B»Paläste der Macht«, erzielen hohe Einschaltquoten bei ZDF und arte. In seiner Sendereihe »Gero von Boehm begegnet« bei 3sat empfängt er Gäste wie Isabella Rosselini, IM Pei, Norman Mailer und Peter Ustinov. Von Boehm lebt mit seiner Familie in Paris. In deutscher Sprache. 400 pages. 22,6 x 19,8 x 2 cm

Jimmy Breslin. The Good Rat: A True Story. Ecco, Ny, 2008.

Price: US$279.95 + shipping

Condition: As New

Description: Signed and dated by author on title page. He was the first to put the mafia on the page exactly as they were - before "The Sopranos", before "The Godfather", there was Jimmy Breslin of the "New York Herald Tribune". As Breslin says, 'I hate legitimate people. They all proclaim immaculate honesty, but each day they commit the most serious of all felonies, being a bore. To whom do you care to listen, Warren Buffet, the second richest and most boring person on earth, or Burt Kaplan out of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn?' Breslin can sniff out a story like he can sniff out a rat.Characters like the Honorable Jack Weinstein, the judicial heavyweight who snapped Vincent Gigante's insanity defense in two, Sammy the Bull, the original snitch, Gaspipe Casso, named for his weapon of choice; and hangouts like Pep McGuire's, the legendary watering hole where reporters and gangsters (all hailing from the same working class neighbourhoods) rubbed elbows and traded stories, the dog-fight circles and body dumps at Ozone Park, the back room at Midnight Rose's candy store where Murder, Inc. hired and fired.But best of all, Breslin captures the moments in which the Mafia was made and broken - Breslin was there the night John Gotti celebrated his acquittal at his Ravenite Social Club on Mulberry, having bribed his way to innocence, only to incite the wrath of the FBI, who would later crush Gotti and others with the full force of the RICO laws. Woven throughout Breslin's stories is the aforementioned 'Burt Kaplan out of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn,' and star witness in the recent trial of the two New York City detectives indicted for acting as mob hit men in eight homicides. Kaplan was a former handler for the Luchese crime family who owed the law 18 years in the penitentiary, and, like all rats, he knew when to flee a sinking ship. About the Author Jimmy Breslin was born in Jamaica, Queens, on October 17, 1930 and began his newspaper career as a copy boy at the Long Island Press in 1948. He became a columnist for the legendary New York Herald Tribune in 1963, moving on to the New York Post in 1968 where he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Commentary in 1986. In 1988 he joined Newsday where he is still a frequent contributor despite officially retiring in 2004. In addition to his recognition as a nationally syndicated columnist, Breslin also became a household name in 1969 when he ran for New York City councilman on the same ticket that featured Norman Mailer as the city's mayoral candidate, and in 1977 when serial killer David Berkowitz, known as Son of Sam, began corresponding with him. His bestselling and critically acclaimed books include a biography of Damon Runyon, The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight, Can't Anybody Here Play this Game?, The Short Sweet Dream of Eduardo Gutierrez, several anthologies, and the memoir I Want to Thank My Brain for Remembering Me.
