T. S. Eliot

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991

Truly, one of the giants
When you think of the best poets ever, T.S. Eliot is one of those that comes to mind. His work is well crafted, intelligent, beautifully written, and has a flow to it that few poets can match. And this is a fine collection for the Eliot lover or for the reader unfamiliar with Eliot. It's divided into several sections. The first section is his Prufrock section, poems from 1917, which contains ...

Saint Therese of Lisieux, Donald Kinney

Ics Pubns, 1995

a triumph; vividly supplements our picture of Therese
"The Poetry of Saint Therese of Lisieux" is the English translation of the critical edition of Therese's poetry. For the first time it makes available in English all Therese's poems, her least known writings. Some ("Living on Love," "Why I Love You, O Mary," "The Unpetalled Rose") are major works; some, occasional writings. Fr. Kinney's intimate and delicate understanding of Therese has ...

Samuel Beckett

Grove Press, 2006

A beautiful edition
Samuel Beckett's status as possibly the greatest dramatist of the twentieth century is unquestionable, and in this attractive volume, Grove Press has compiled all of his plays (with the exception of "Eleutheria," which Beckett suppressed and refused to translate), a complete collection previously available only in an expensive out-of-print Faber edition. This is one in a series of four volumes ...

The Verb of the Logos
This book is an authentic treatise about the many stages upon the ancient, universal initiatic path into the mysteries. His Holiness the Dalai Lama recommends this arcane book on the back cover of the book itself. This book can be easily misunderstood or not understood at all. What one needs is the keys of the path, the factors of the revolution of the consciousness. Otherwise, how can we ...

Jack London

Pluto Press, 2001

Great book
I love this book, Jack London is quite possibly my favorite author, whether it's fiction or non-fiction. It was incredible to read a first-hand account of the struggle of the working class in england, even today this book sheds light on many issues such as poverty/labor laws... one of the coolest features of this book are the black and white photographs!

A Significant Other: Riding the Centenary Tour de France with Lance Armstrong

Phoenix, 2005

Best Cycling Journalism I've Read
This book is on a different level, artistically and intellectually, from most cycling journalism. I've read a bevy of Tour de France books and this is the best by far. It takes a different angle on professional cycling, the perspective of the domestique, to show you things about the sport that you would never learn reading yet another book about Lance or the other stars. The story of Victor ...

The New Testament in Modern English (Centenary Translation)

The Judson Press (Philadelphia), 1948

"The Centenary Translation of the New Testament" was birthed out of Helen Montgomery's desire to provide an easy-to-understand New Testament for the boys in her Sunday School class. She had tried the King James Version, which was very difficult to understand, and she also tried the New Testament in Modern English. It was much more readable, but did not serve the purpose that she wanted. She spent nine years on the translation before it was ...

Democracy, Citizenship and the Global City (Innis Centenary Series)
Engin F. Isin

Routledge, 2000

bWhat does it mean to be political in an age of postmodernisation and globalisation? Where former debates on globalisation have so far remained polarised between purely economic perspectives, political perspectives that are resolutely state-centric, and sociological perspectives that narrowly focus on the role of global cities, Politics in the Global City focuses on the controversial, neglected theme of citizenship. Engin F. Isin examines the ...

Giedrius Subacius

Editions Rodopi BV, 2006

In his legendary novel The Jungle (1905 and 1906), Upton Sinclair included a conspicuous number of Lithuanian words, phrases and surnames. This volume is the first attempt to analyze aspects of Lithuanian linguistic and historical data from The Jungle. Sinclair discovered the Lithuanian language in Chicago and explored it with pleasure.
