These 165 articles and editorials show how Camus thinking evolved from support of a revolutionary transformation of postwar society to a wariness of the radical left alongside his longstanding strident opposition to the reactionary right. They are poignant depictions of issues ranging from the liberation, deportation, justice for collaborators, the return of POWs, and food and housing shortages, to the postwar role of international institutions, colonial injustices, and the situation of a free press in democracies.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=663769 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=723832 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=635766 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=562561 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=604437 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=560979 Selected from the vast range of his work, the writings included in this anthology trace Gunter Grasss development as a writer, and with it the history of a nation coming to terms with its past.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=552674 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=465330 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=451958 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=478287 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=381267 For decades, the poetry and prose of Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz have enthralled and provoked his readers. To Begin Where I Am brings together - in the most complete one-volume edition available in English - a rich sampling of the prose writings of arguably the greatest living poet (Edward Hirsch, The New York Times Book Review). Spanning more than half a century, these essays, several of which have never before appeared in English, present Milosz the prose writer in all his multiple, intriguing guises.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=375318 Jeannine Blackwells introduction places the tales in their historical, social, and critical context, and Shawn C. Jarviss afterword presents a thematic analysis of the texts and approaches to reading them in conjunction with other European and American tales. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=380507 In these essays, Eco recalls experiencing liberation from fascism in Italy as a boy, and examines the various historical forms of fascism, always with an eye to such ugly manifestations today. And finally, in an intensely personal open letter to an Italian cardinal, Eco questions what it means to be moral or ethical when one doesnt believe in God. As thoughtful and subtle as they are pragmatic and relevant, these essays present one of the worlds most important thinkers at the height of his critical powers.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=326167 In Iceland, the Age of the Vikings is also known as the Saga Age. A unique body of medieval literature, the Sagas rank with the worlds greatest literary treasures - as epic as Homer, as deep in tragedy as Sophocles, as engagingly human as Shakespeare. Set around the turn of the last millennium, these stories depict with an astonishingly modern realism the lives and deeds of the Norse men and women who first settled Iceland and of their descendants, who ventured farther west - to Greenland and, ultimately, the coast of North America itself. This new Viking edition of The Sagas of Icelanders, commemorating the thousandth anniversary of Leif Eirikssons historic voyage, is drawn from the first English translation of the entire corpus of the Sagas, together with the forty-nine connected tales - a five-volume set published by Leifur Eiriksson Publishing, Iceland. Thirty translators were selected for this monumental project, including leading international scholars from seven countries.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=291295 Grand Street 69: Berlin will be devoted to the art, architecture, politics, history, and literature of the new German capital, in anticipation of the 10 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Writer and actor Hanns Zischler looks back on the day when the Wall came tumbling down. Playwright Klaus Pohl dramatizes the interviews he has conducted with Germans from all walks of life. Other highlights include a Jane Kramer interview with Anselm Keifer and art by Hannah Hoch and Maria Eichhorn. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=657996 It is hard to believe that the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, printed by Aldus Manutius in 1499, one of the most famous books in the world, read by every Renaissance intellectual and endlessly referred to in studies of art and culture ever since, has never appeared in English. One reason, no doubt, is the length and difficulty of the text. It is a strange, pagan, pedantic, erotic, allegorical, mythological romance relating in highly stylized Italian the quest of Poliphilo for his beloved Polia. The author (presumed to be Francesco Colonna, a friar of dubious reputation) was obsessed by architecture, landscape and costume - it is not going too far to say sexually obsessed - and its 174 woodcuts are a primary source for Renaissance ideas on both buildings and gardens. In 1592 a beginning was made to produce an English version but the translator gave up after only a third of the text. Now, at last, the task has been triumphantly accomplished by Joscelyn Godwin, who succeeds in reproducing all its wayward charm and arcane learning in language accessible to the modern reader.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=88602 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=788139 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=327841 This is a collection of classic Polish love stories in Polish and English that have been translated and edited by Miroslaw Lipinski. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=327842 This book contains French love short stories in both French and English. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=272092 In April 1898 Rainer Maria Rilke, not yet 23, began a diary of his Florence visit. It was to record, in the form of an imaginary dialogue with his mentor and then-lover, Lou Andreas-Salome, his firsthand experiences of early Renaissance art. Two others followed. In these Schmargendorf and Worpswede diaries, Rilke began to reach toward other people - among them the sculptor Clara Westhoff, whom he would marry and the painter Paula Becker, whose death would haunt him all his life. These diaries, translated into English here for the first time by Edward Snow and Michael Winkler as Diaries of a Young Poet, span what is arguably the most crucial phase in Rilkes development. They emerge in this fluent, copiously annotated translation as central to the Rilke canon, early prose counterweights to the later Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=168499 As a philosopher, he wedded classical methods of inquiry to a Christian faith. As an autobiographer, he looked unsparingly at his own failures to depict universal moral struggles. As a visionary, he dared draw maps of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise and populate all three realms with recognizable human beings. As a passionate lover, he became a poet of bereavement and renunciation. As all of these things, Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) paved the way for modern literature, while creating verse and prose that remain unparalleled for formal elegance, intellectual depth, and emotional grandeur. The Portable Dante captures the scope and fire of Dantes genius as thoroughly as any single volume can. It contains complete verse translations of Dantes two masterworks, The Divine Comedy and La Vita Nuova; plus a bibliography, notes, and introduction by the eminent scholar and translator Mark Musa.

At a time of growing interest both in the West and in Russia itself, the Anthology provides a radically new sense of the dynamic development of Russian womens writing - poetry, prose, and drama - over the last 200 years. Including important texts by well-known writers such as Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Elena Shvarts, and Olga Sedakova, the Anthology also introduces outstanding works by lesser-known writers such as Sofya Soboleva, Olga Shapir, Mariya Shkapskaya, Anna Barkova, and Vera Merkureva. All translations have been commissioned for this volume and poetry is presented in the original Russian as well as in English. A companion volume to Catriona Kellys History of Russian Womens Writing, 1820-1992 (also available from OUP), this is an indispensable source for readers and students of womens writing, and for all those concerned with womens history, the history of feminism, and Russian literature in general.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=212027 Playful parodies by the author of The Name of the Rose and Foucaults Pendulum. Here, Eco pokes fun at the oversophisticated, overacademic, and overintellectual, and along the way makes penetrating comments about our modern mass culture and the elitist avant-garde in art in criticism. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=201467 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=33818 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=213750 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=56971 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=126410 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=21074 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=246049 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=163270 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=327846 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=35749 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=175751 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=21703 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=174194 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=200917 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=186602 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=208991 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=126983 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=91030 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=456694 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=36307 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=216656 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=216655
