He lived his married life aware of the question on people`s minds: How in the world did a tall, thin, fair-skinned beauty and one of the most respected high school English teachers in all of Greenville County, in all of South Carolina for that matter, wind up married to a short, dark, fat-faced, jug-eared house painter? That their marriage not only survived for fifty years, but flourished, is a source of constant wonder to Prate. Now he faces a new challengewith Irene. From the author of In The Family Way , a novel the Atlanta Constitution called `an instant classic` and the Charlotte Observer praised as `a lovely, moving book,` comes a powerful story of hard-earned… [detailed...]

Friedrich Durrenmatt
The Pledge

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Set in a small town in Switzerland, The Pledge centers around the murder of a young girl and the detective who promises the victim’s mother he will find the perpetrator. After deciding the wrong man has been arrested for the crime, the detective lays a trap for the real killer—with all the patience of a master fisherman. But cruel turns of plot conspire to make him pay dearly for his pledge. Here Friedrich DA?rrenmatt conveys his brilliant ear for dialogue and a devastating sense of timing and suspense. Joel Agee’s skilled translation effectively captures the various voices in the original, as well as its chilling conclusion. One of DA?rrenmatt’s most diabolically imagined and constructed novels, The Pledge was adapted for the screen in 2000 in a film directed by Sean Penn and starring Jack Nicholson. [detailed...]

Will Eisner, Umberto Eco
The Plot: The Secret Story of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A work more disturbing than fiction from `the father of graphic novels` ( New York Times ). Will Eisner, the great American master of comics, has undertaken what he regards as his most powerful work yet. The Plot examines the outrageous fabrication of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion , which purports to be the actual blueprint by Jewish leaders to take over the world. Hatched as an anti-Semitic plot by the tsar`s secret police to deflect widespread criticism of the government, the Protocols , first published in 1905, succeeded beyond the propagandistic ambitions of its originators, the lie became an internationally accepted truth. Presenting a pageant of historical figures including Tsar Nicholas II, Henry Ford, and Adolf Hitler, Eisner exposes the twisted history of the Protocols from nineteenth-century Russia to modern-day Klan members to Islamic fundamentalists. The Plot unravels one of the most devastating hoaxes of the twentieth… [detailed...]

The Plum in the Golden Vase or, Chin P`ing Mei, Volume Three: The Aphrodisiac (Princeton Library of Asian Translations)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this third volume of a planned five-volume series, David Roy provides a complete and annotated translation of the famous Chin P`ing Mei , an anonymous sixteenth-century Chinese novel that focuses on the domestic life of His-men Ch`ing, a corrupt, upwardly mobile merchant who maintains a harem of six wives and concubines. This work, known primarily for its erotic realism, is also a landmark in the development of narrative art--not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but also in a world-historical context. Written during the second half of the sixteenth century and first published in 1618, The Plum in the Golden Vase is noted for its surprisingly modern technique. With the possible exception of The Tale of Genji (ca. 1010) and Don Quixote (1605, 1615), there is no earlier work of prose fiction of equal sophistication in world literature. Although its importance in the history of Chinese narrative has long been recognized, the technical… [detailed...]
