Friedrich Von Schiller
The Ghost-seer

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionSchiller’s only novel, The Ghost–seer is an experimental, deliberately fragmentary work. Thrillingly held together by its dramatic plot and lavish, operatic setting, it is a multi–layered fiction of deceptive simplicity. Foreword by Martin Jarvis. For a rich young prince and his loyal companion, Venice promises nothing but unfettered pleasure—until they encounter a mysterious masked Armenian who delivers them a strange prophecy. And when his words prove true, this enigmatic figure develops a deeply sinister influence over them, drawing them into darker forms of “magic.” As the narrative progresses, it become increasingly unclear whether the apparitions the prince sees are the manifestations of a troubled spirit world or simply an elaborate hoax. Friedrich von Schiller (1759–1805) is one of the leading figures of 18th–century German literature, most famous for his dramatic works The Robbers, Mary… [detailed...]

Storm Constantine
The Ghosts of Blood and Innocence: The Third Book of the Wraeththu Histories (Wraeththu)

2006 y.
Publisher: Tor Books
Description: Set in the far future in a complex multiethnic society, Constantine`s solid if slow-paced third installment in her Wraeththu fantasy series (after 2004`s The Shades of Time and Memory) focuses on the adventures of two half-brothers, Darquiel and Loki, both sons of the powerful and wise Tigron of Gelaming. Darquiel, the younger, is born of a pearl at a time when Loki is already a seasoned diplomat. When Darquiel enters the realm of the Tigron, he also enters into an intense rivalry with his half-brother for success in diplomacy and magic. Action fans won`t welcome the long dialogues that advance diplomatic rather than military solutions to the relations among the various human factions and nonhuman races. Most will appreciate the intelligent handling of telepathy, dreams and ghosts in setting the gothic tone of the book, but a shortage of female characters and the gay sex may turn off some readers.

The Ghosts of Harlem: Sessions with Jazz Legends

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From 1985 to the present, Hank O`Neal interviewed 42 jazz legends who made music in Harlem during its heyday and decline. In their homes or immediate neighborhoods, he took their portraits with a large-format view camera and talked with them about what had been the best places to play, the interaction of the races, and about why the Harlem scene had faded. For each `session` with a jazz legend, O`Neal has supplemented the interview and portraits with many of his other photographs, historical photographs and memorabilia. From the archives of Chiaroscuro Records, O`Neal has produced a CD that accompanies the book, which features sixteen of the `ghosts` playing at the ends of their careers, between 1972 and 1996, including Cab Calloway, Milt Hinton, Doc Cheatham, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Tate, Eddie Barefield, Earl Hines, and Illinois Jacquet.

The Marquis de Sade
The Ghosts of Sodom : The Secret Journals of the Marquis de Sade

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The secret journal which the Marquis de Sade worked hard at maintaining, even when ill and aging at the Charenton asylum in France, has been rediscovered and is now published in English for the first time. The Ghosts of Sodom offers a unique insight into the workings of the mind of this aristocratic sadist and literary revolutionary. Sade was 67 years old when he wrote this journal (one in a series of four, two of which have yet to be rediscovered) during his seven years spent at the `hospital-prison.` The journal reveals how his days were slow and grim, full of everyday preoccupations, worries about money, nasty quarrels with the people around him-but were also lit up by a final erotic adventure: the last flames of his senile passion. At the Charenton asylum, Sade`s death approached, darkening the colors of his life and tearing apart his feelings. The Ghosts of Sodom also includes a selection of Sade`s letters from Charenton, as well as… [detailed...]

And we cried not merely tears of sorrow. We cried tears of hate.` He was the soldier in the jeep with the big Star of David, driving from foxhole to foxhole, sometimes under fire, bringing faith and friendship to fighting men. David Max Eichhorn, a Jewish chaplain in the U.S. Army`s XV Corps, saw action across France and into Germany until VE-Day and beyond.

Eichhorn`s letters show us a devoutly religious man trying to cope with the perils of combat and the needs of his fellow soldiers. They are filled with amazing stories and poignant… [detailed...]

Description: Mary Stein took up aikido in her mid-fifties and quickly learned what it really means to face danger—both external and internal. In this powerful collection of short essays, she vividly describes learning an active and spirited defense on the mat, in the process uncovering a lifetime of habitual tensions and emotional reactions, of flight and ineffective fight. Stein’s thoughtful musings make clear how the practice of aikido can show what is really needed, right now. The Gift of Danger is aimed at men and women for whom the question of what is genuine in their lives has taken on fresh urgency. Above all, Stein shows that a sense of danger has extraordinary importance for the martial artist, when danger is present during training, one learns to test limits and respond quickly and accurately. We follow the author as she stands, tentative but determined, on the razor’s edge between knowing and not knowing, judgment and impartiality—the only place where real growth can occur.
