2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: After losing her teaching position at the local university, Mariah Moon will do anything to keep her gifted twelve-year-old daughter, Lindsay, in a prestigious private school -- which means moving in with her mother and grandmother in an apartment above The Owl &, Moon CafA©. When her mother, Allegra, is diagnosed with leukemia, Mariah rises to the challenge of running the cafA©: mastering her mother`s famous fudge and chatting up customers -- including a man who might just reawaken her heart. Meanwhile, Lindsay`s controversial entry in a major national science contest creates a minor maelstrom in the cosseted Monterey Bay community. And Allegra, with one last great love affair in her, will revisit a man she loved so many years ago, and disclose the biggest secret of the Moon family: the identity of Mariah`s father. Will the Moon women recognize this as the moment to do away with their family history of dubiously fathered children, and learn to forgive others and themselves in… [detailed...]

Louis Simpson
The Owner of the House : New Collected Poems 1940-2001 (American Poets Continuum Series,)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Few poets have so artfully confronted American life as Louis Simpson. Persona speakers struggle with everyday issues against a backdrop of larger forces, the individual`s maladjustment to a culture of materialism and brutal competition, the failure of marriage under the pressures of such a society, the failure of the American dream. Simpson wages a lover`s quarrel with the world. `Louis Simpson has perfect pitch. His poems win us first by their drama, their ways of voicing our ways . . . of making do with our lives. Then his intelligence cajoles us to the brink of a cliff of solitude and we step over into the buoyant element of true poetry.`-Seamus Heaney Educated at Munro College (West Indies) and at Columbia University, Louis Simpson has taught widely, most recently at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is the author of seventeen books of poetry and ten works of prose. He has received fellowships from the Academy of American… [detailed...]

John Barton, John Muddiman
The Oxford Bible Commentary

2001 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: The Bible stands in a category of its own among the world`s literature. How you view the Bible, however, depends on what spectacles you are wearing. Like statistics, the Bible can be used to prove almost anything. As a result Bible commentaries are notorius for giving the author`s particular angle on the Bible as if it is the only viewpoint. In the case of The Oxford Bible Commentary the angle is `objectively academic.` John Muddiman and John Barton are the pair of Oxford dons who have put together the laest weighty book of Biblical scholarship. Happily, they are aware of the limitations of academic comment and don`t pretend the book is more than it is. Contributing scholars are mostly British and American and most of them come from a mainstream Protestan background. The articles are therefore polished, precise, and professionally pedantic. No one can fault the meticulous scholarship and wealth of detailed content. That`s just what you want from a hefty Bible commentary. On the other… [detailed...]

The Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis extraordinarily comprehensive volume includes not only a generous selection of verse by such renowned poets as Swift, Pope, Johnson, Gray, Smart, Goldsmith, Cowper, Blake, and Burns, but also a large number of poems by lesser-known and previously ignored poets. Intermixing the familiar styles and preoccupations of `polite` taste with much less familiar verse from all social levels, it reveals the willingness of the century`s poets to respond graphically, humorously, or unconventionally to all aspects of rural and urban life. Topics range from golf and hypnotism to amorous adventure and marital discord, from growing sensitivity to natural beauty to fear of the effects of the Industrial Revolution, and from the anguish of poverty and unemployment to animated political exchanges in the wake of the French Revolution. Taken together, these poems reveal that both unpredictability and familiarity played as significant a role as Augustan reason played in the world of… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionAdulterous love, marital love, virginal love, religious devotion, agape, lust, eros: there are an infinite variety of meanings that can be packed into the four letters that spell love, and writers of fiction have been trying for centuriesto plumb its depths. We turn to literature in large part to learn what love is and what it should be. Here, The Oxford Book of English Love Stories, offers consolation and inspiration in equal measure from some of the sharpest observers of this most essential human emotion. From the bittersweet ending of Trollope`s ``The Parson`s Daughter of Oxney Colne,`` to the intricate rituals of courtship in Sylvia Plath`s ``Stone Boy with Dolphin,`` to Paul Theroux`s sardonic study of innocence in ``An English Unofficial Rose,`` this collection is a looking glass into the many moods of love. John Sutherland has selected twenty-eight original works that best represent the rich and varied nature of love. There are stories by Mary Shelley, W. M…. [detailed...]

The Oxford Book of English Short Stories

2009 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Byatt, one of the most distinguished contemporary British fiction writers, lends a definite knowledge of the field to her gathering of outstanding short stories from her native land, all written at some point between the mid-nineteenth century and the present. She includes necessary masters-Rudyard Kipling, Saki, D.H.Lawrence, and V.S.Pritchett, to name a few. But, bless her good taste and reading experience, she draws into the fold the work of several extremely talented writers of which few readers on this side of the Atlantic will have heard. Falling into this category are such writers as Malachi Whitaker, H.E.Bates, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Charlotte Mew. The difference between a Charles Dickens story and one by the very contemporary Ian McEwan is no difference at all in terms of talent with the form. Fans of the short story will be delighted by what they discover here. Формат: 12,8 см x 19,5 см [detailed...]

Description: Here is the first anthology to present a full range of multilingual poetries from Latin America, covering over 500 years of a poetic tradition as varied, robust, and vividly imaginative as any in the world. Editors Cecilia Vicuna and Ernesto Livon-Grosman present a fresh and expansive selection of Latin American poetry, from the indigenous responses to the European conquest, through early feminist poetry of the 19th century, the early 20th century `Modernismo` and `Vanguardia` movements, later revolutionary and liberation poetry of the 1960s, right up to the experimental, visual and oral poetries being written and performed today. Here readers will find several types of poetry typically overlooked in major anthologies, such as works written or chanted in their native languages, the vibrant mestizo (mixed) creations derived from the rich matrix of spoken language in Latin America, and even the mysterious verses written in made-up languages.
