Vladimir Nabokov
The Annotated Lolita

1991 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: When `Lolita` was first published in 1955 it created a sensation and established Nabokov as one of the most original prose writers of the twentieth century. This annotated edition, a revised and considerably expanded version of the 1970 edition, does full justice to the textual riches of `Lolita`, illuminating the elaborate verbal textures and showing how they contribute to the novel`s overall meaning. Alfred Appel, Jr. also provides fresh observations on the novel`s artifice, games and verbal patternings and a delightful biographical vignette of Nabokov. The annotations themselves were prepared in consultation with Nabokov while newly identified allusions were confirmed by him during the final years of his life. [detailed...]

Harriet Beecher Stowe
The Annotated Uncle Tom`s Cabin

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Henry Louis Gates Jr. redefines Uncle Tom`s Cabin with this seminal interpretation of the great American novel. Declared worthless and dehumanizing by James Baldwin in 1949, Uncle Tom`s Cabin has lacked literary credibility for fifty years. Now, in a ringing refutation of Baldwin, Henry Louis Gates Jr. demonstrates the literary transcendence of Harriet Beecher Stowe`s masterpiece. Uncle Tom`s Cabin , first published in 1852, galvanized the American public as no other work of fiction has ever done. The editors animate pre-Civil War life with rich insights into the lives of slaves, abolitionists, and the American reading public. Examining the lingering effects of the novel, they provide new insights into emerging race-relation, women`s, gay, and gender issues. With reproductions of rare prints, posters, and photographs, this book is also one of the most thorough anthologies of Uncle Tom images up to the present day. 2-color throughout, 32 pages of color… [detailed...]

The Anonymous Marie de France

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Anonymous Marie de France offers a fundamental reconception of the person generally assumed to be the first woman writer in French, the woman now referred to as Marie de France. Written by renowned medievalist R. Howard Bloch, it is the first book to consider all of the writing ascribed to Marie, including her famous Lais , her 103 animal fables, and the earliest vernacular Saint Patrick’s Purgatory . Marie is, Bloch asserts, one of the most self-conscious, sophisticated, and disturbing figures of her time—a writer whose works reveal an acute awareness not only of her role in the preservation of cultural memory, but also of the transformative psychological, social, and political effects of her writing within an oral tradition. The Anonymous Marie de France recovers the central achievements of one of the most pivotal figures in French literature. It is a study that will be of enormous value to medievalists, literary scholars, historians of… [detailed...]

The Answer to How Is Yes: Acting On What Matters

Publisher: —
Description: Modern culture?s worship of `how-to` pragmatism has turned us into instruments of efficiency and commerce?but we?re doing more and more about things that mean less and less. We constantly ask how? but rarely why? We use how as a defense?instead of acting on what we know to be of importance, we wait until we?ve attended one more workshop, read one more book, gotten one more degree. Asking how keeps us safe?instead of being led by our hearts into uncharted territory, we keep our heads down and stick to the map. But we are gaining the world and losing our souls. In The Answer to How Is Yes, Block places the `how-to` craze in perspective and presents a guide to the difficult and life-granting journey of bringing what we know isof personal value into an indifferent or even hostile corporate and cultural landscape. He raises our awareness of the trade-offs we?ve made in the name of practicality and expediency, and offers hope for a way of life in which… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: People keep asking `How?` as a defense against living their life, says best-selling author Peter Block. In this witty, insightful award-winning book, Block shows that many standard solutions and improvement efforts, reinforced by most of the literature, keep people paralyzed. Here he places the `how to` craze in perspective and teaches individuals, workers, and managers ways to act on what they know. This in turn allows them to reclaim their freedom and capacity to create the kind of world they want to live in. Block?s `elements of choice` ? the characteristic of a new workplace and a new world based on more positive values ? include self-mentoring, investing in relationships, accepting the unpredictability of life, and realizing that the individual prospers only when the community does.

The Anthologist: A Novel

Publisher: —
Description: The Anthologist is narrated by Paul Chowder -- a once-in-a-while-published kind of poet who is writing the introduction to a new anthology of poetry. He`s having a hard time getting started because his career is floundering, his girlfriend Roz has recently left him, and he is thinking about the great poets throughout history who have suffered far worse and deserve to feel sorry for themselves. He has also promised to reveal many wonderful secrets and tips and tricks about poetry, and it looks like the introduction will be a little longer than he`d thought.What unfolds is a wholly entertaining and beguiling love story about poetry: from Tennyson, Swinburne, and Yeats to the moderns (Roethke, Bogan, Merwin) to the staff of The New Yorker, what Paul reveals is astonishing and makes one realize how incredibly important poetry is to our lives. At the same time, Paul barely manages to realize all of this himself, and the result is a tenderly romantic, hilarious, and inspired novel. [detailed...]

The Anthropology of Organizations

Description: The 1980s and 1990s have been a time of change for organizations, with a preoccupation for changing ``organizational culture``, a concept attributed to anthropology. These changes have been accompanied by questions about different styles of organizing. In both public and private sector organizations and in the first and third worlds, there is now a concern to understand how practices can be incorporated to maximum effect, and how opportunities can be improved for disadvantaged groups, particularly women. The Anthropology of Organizations questions ``organizational culture`` as a tool of management and presents and analyzes the latest anthropological work on the management of organizations and their development, demonstrating the use of recent theory and examining the practical problems which anthropology can help to solve.
