Madam Millie: Bordellos from Silver City to Ketchikan

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Mildred Clark Cusey was a whore, a madam, an entrepreneur, and above all, a survivor. The story of Silver City Millie, as she referred to herself, is the story of one woman`s personal tragedies and triumphs as an orphan, a Harvey Girl waitress on the Santa Fe railroad, a prostitute with innumerable paramours, and a highly successful bordello businesswoman. Millie broke the mold in so many ways, and yet her life`s story of survival was not unlike that of thousands of women who went West only to find that their most valuable assets were their physical beauty and their personality. Petite at five feet tall with piercing blue eyes, Millie captured men`s attention by her very essence and her unmistakable joie de vivre. Born to Italian immigrant parents near Kansas City, she and her sister were orphaned early and separated from each other. Millie learned hard lessons on the streets, but she never gave up and she vowed to protect and support her ailing older sister. Caught in a… [detailed...]

Madeleine Albright
Madam Secretary

2004 y.
Publisher: Pan Books
Description: In this outspoken memoir, Madeleine Albright shares her personal story from a difficult start as a political refugee from Czechoslovakia to high office in the Clinton White House. Refreshingly candid, Madam Secretary brings to life the world leaders Albright worked with intimately in her years of service and the battles she fought to prove her worth in a male-dominated arena. We also get to know Albright, the private woman: her life raising three daughters, the painful break-up of her marriage and the discovery late in life of her own Jewish background and that her grandparents had died in concentration camps. A story of a woman of great character, with an acknowledged talent for making friends, Madam Secretary is also a valuable contribution to political history, weaving together the public and the private, the national and the intimate, in a satisfying and rich memoir that is destined to become a classic of its kind.

Gustave Flaubert
Madame Bovary (Norton Critical Editions)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The text of this Norton Critical Edition is based on Eleanor Marx Aveling`s celebrated translation, revised by Paul de Man. Margaret Cohen`s careful editorial revision modernizes and renews Flaubert`s stylistic masterpiece. In addition, Cohen has added to the Second Edition a new introduction, substantially new annotations, and twenty-one striking images, including photographs and engravings, that inform students` understanding of middle-class life in nineteenth-century provincial France. In Madame Bovary , Flaubert created a cogent counterdiscourse that exposed and resisted the dominant intellectual and social ideologies of his age. The novel`s subversion of conventional moral norms inevitably created controversy and eventually led to Flaubert`s prosecution by the French government on charges of offending `public and religious morality.` This Norton edition is the only one available that includes the complete manuscript from Flaubert`s 1857 trial. `Criticism` includes… [detailed...]

Andre Bernard
Madame Bovary, C`est Moi: The Great Characters of Literature and Where They Came From

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Andre Bernard explores the struggles and inspirations that gave birth to the great writers` most memorable creations. A delightful compendium of wit and information, this book takes us on a casual stroll through literary history as the world`s most successful writers sought just the right name or just the right tone or just the right prop for the hero or heroine of their works. He looks at whether Leo Tolstoy`s Anna Karenina was based on a real person, why Agatha Christie made Hercule Poirot a Belgian, why Long John Silver was missing a foot and the circumstances under which J.R.R.Tolkien conceived of a `hobbit`. In this charming collection of anecdotes, we are taken to the very heart of the mystery of literary creation. As Virginia Woolf wrote, `If the characters are real the novel will have a chance.` [detailed...]

Madame Bovary

1995 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert`s erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine, but Flaubert insisted: `Madame Bovary, c`est moi`. Формат: 11 см х 18 см. [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Flaubert avait beau affirmer qu`il desirait faire du style le coeur d`un `livre sur rien`, son premier roman n`en est pas moins un recit, un roman de la `fatalite`, comme le souligne innocemment Charles Bovary, sans meme savoir qu`il s`agit d`une fatalite d`ordre narratologique qui imbrique imperceptiblement les elements du texte pour rendre l`issue inevitable. Tableau des `Moeurs de province`, `Madame Bovary` depeint avec tant d`efficacite la dynamique de la frustration que le melange d`ennui profond, d`apathie et d`exaltation romanesque qui caracterise son heroine a donne naissance au terme de bovarysme. De Tostes a Yonville-l`Abbaye, Emma Bovary traine sa morne existence jalonnee d`adulteres. Certes, ses echappees a bord de l`Hirondelle, l`express qui relie Yonville a Rouen, pimentent sa vie. Mais elle est conduite par Hivert, vouee au retour ironique et incontournable. Quelles que soient les tentatives d`evasion, le bovarysme triomphe. Dans le portrait de cette petite bourgeoise… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Carla Del Ponte won international recognition as Switzerland’s attorney general when she pursued cases against the Sicilian mafia. In 1999, she answered the United Nations’ call to become the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and for Rwanda. In her new role, Del Ponte confronted genocide and crimes against humanity head-on, struggling to bring to justice the highest-ranking individuals responsible for massive acts of violence in Rwanda, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Kosovo.These tribunals have been unprecedented. They operate along the edge of the divide between national sovereignty and international responsibility, in the gray zone between the judicial and the political, a largely unexplored realm for prosecutors and judges. It is a realm whose native inhabitants–political leaders and diplomats, soldiers and spies–assume that they can commit the big crime without being held culpable. It is a realm crisscrossed by what Del Ponte… [detailed...]

Description: Early on, Madalene and Herbert S. Jordan realized they had a common focus in life which could easily be summarized as `Duty, Honor, Country and God.` Integrity was the hallmark characteristic of them both. When commitments were made, they were honored…without hesitation. With marriage, the commitments were in the wedding vows, never to be violated, and in religion, the commitment was in the baptismal rite which, again, was never to be violated. For Madalene Marie Driscoll, her commitment to God was made as a baby through the promises of her parents and God-parents. All through her life, she was devoted to the Catholic Church, its teachings and its obligations. She spent much time in prayer, and whenever possible spent time in adoration before the Holy Eucharist. At location after location, Army post after Army post, she sewed cassocks and surpluses for the altar boys. Indeed in most posts from the 1930`s on, her boys were altar servers. She was dedicated to… [detailed...]
