What can I say about this collection, except that is essential reading for anyone serious about Science Fiction or Fantasy as a form of literature (that's right I said it-the dreaded "l" word) Bradbury has piled up enough superlatives in his life that I don't think I need to go into them. Anyway, this is a book of Ray Bradbury's greatest stories, which means that these are some of the best ...             Everyman and The Second Shepherds' Play - Literary Touchstone Classic1 review Anonymous Prestwick House, Inc., 2007 WHAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FORGOT ABOUT BEING CHRISTIAN There is very little Middle Ages litature worth reading, this is an exception. Yet, whenever I read this play I am amazed at its message - it seems so unlikly that the most corrupt church in history wrote and endorsed this play and message. To bad the Catholic Church does not practice its message.             The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man, Red Harvest (Everyman's Library)4 reviews Dashiell Hammett, Robert Polito Everyman's Library, 2000 A classic for every home library My two favorites in this collection are The Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon. I love these hard-boiled detective novels doubly for their sheer entertainment and their place in history. If you want a fascinating read to go allong with this collection, get The Perfect Murder: A Study In Detection by David Lehman. It will clue you into these novels and life. These classic American Novels by ...             Everyman and Medieval Miracle Plays5 reviews Everyman Paperbacks, 1993 Me, Myself, and Everyman Everyman could be my next door neighbor. Seriously. He could be virtually anyone. This character appears on every television show, every comic strip, and in almost every movie. Why? Because the character "Everyman" IS every man. The trials and tribulations of Everyman are the trials and tribulations of every man. It's that simple. Read this small tome and learn about the human condition. See ...             Everyman152 reviews Philip Roth Vintage, 2007 Very well written and very interesting On December 12, 1969, the great writer Saul Bellow wrote to Philip Roth and described him as "one of our best and most interesting writers.... I was greatly stimulated and entertained by your last novel." Whether Philip Roth is writing about sexual experiences, as he does in virtually every book, or about illness and dying, as he does in this volume, readers find the book fascinating even if ...             Solitude (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets) Everyman's Library, 2005 A literary sanctuary for what Shakespeare called ?sessions of sweet silent thought,? this exquisite gathering of poems speaks to the consolations of solitude. Here is Wordsworth wandering ?lonely as a cloud?; Poe confiding ?all I loved, I loved alone?; Yeats?s communion with ?the deep heart?s core?; and Han Shan?s heart of a hermit, ?clean as a white lotus.? From Sir Edward Dyer?s ?My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is,? to the spiritual searching of the ...             Gods In Everyman11 reviews Jean Shinoda Bolen Harper Paperbacks, 1990 Gods in Everyman Jean Shinoda Bolen, author of several books on the archetypal gods and goddesses in our lives, is a thoughtful writer whose prose is easy to handle, being not only easy to understand but filled with interesting examples from life. I liked both books, Gods In Every Man and Goddesses In Everywoman. I am about to teach a course on the role of the Greeks, their stories, of Ulysses, the gods and the ...             The Golden Bowl (Everyman's Library (Cloth))26 reviews Henry James Everyman's Library, 1992 The Golden Bowl: The Meaning of "Value" Reading THE GOLDEN BOWL by Henry James can be either an exercise in frustration or of exhiliration. If after reading a few pages one deduces the former, then one has allowed an excessively convoluted and ornate prose style to interpose itself between a writer with a straightforward theme that is inextricably intertwined with a style that is its polar opposite with a reader who expects the ...             Everyman10 reviews Anonymous BiblioLife, 2008 Beautifully Written Morality Play Please ignore the ignorant reviews casting Everyman off as boring and in need of serious revision. You must understand the history behind the play. It came out of a period when plays were written to reform the audience, and were largely theological. You must notice the allegorical way of thinking derived from the medeival faith which believed everything in the world had a moral meaning. When ...             Everyman's Talmud: The Major Teachings of the Rabbinic Sages31 reviews Abraham Cohen BN Publishing, 2009 excellent introduction to Talmud! I checked this book out from a library and was impressed enough to want a copy. With the understanding that no book could condense the entirety of the Talmud into a small volume and maintain the full discourses on the expounding of jewish law, this is as close as I've found on the subject. I am told the Talmud can be a book that you can study for a lifetime. This book as the "Everyman's Talmud" ...             "Everyman," With Other Interludes, Including Eight Miracle Plays Anonymous General Books LLC, 2010 The book has no illustrations or index.

The hardcover and the book mark strap are great. This book was in beautiful condition and an excellent read! You definitely should buy this as opposed to the full version because it cuts out a lot of the repetition that Alexandre Dumas seems to do. Great book!             The Complete Stories (Everyman's Library)7 reviews Edgar Allan Poe Everyman's Library, 1993 All The Poe That's Fit To Print; A Collector's Dream First impressions count, and this book is extremely attractive. The attractiveness of the printed page completes the "premium" feel of this edition. If you plan to have the book on your bookshelf for many years to come, pulling it out to re-read a familiar story, or read an obscure one for the first time, you will appreciate this bibliophile edition. Here I will consider one representative of ...             A Sportsman's Notebook (Everyman's Library)5 reviews Ivan Turgenev Everyman's Library, 1992 Brilliant This book has some of the best short fiction ever written. Hemingway said, "Tolstoy wrote the best books, BUT TURGENEV WAS THE GREATEST WRITER." And then he went on to praise the short story "A Rattle of Wheels" above all other Turgenev stories. So if Hemingway thought Turgenev the greatest writer, and "Rattle of Wheels" the greatest story he wrote, then he certainly thought "Rattle of Wheels" ...             Emerson: Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)1 review Ralph Waldo Emerson Everyman's Library, 2004 The poet- essayist and thinker Emerson's poetry is not the major form of his work. His most well- known work are his Essays. And his poems share a certain quality with these essays as they are rich in ideas and moral probings. Emerson's most well- known poem is one which every American schoolchild once leared. It is the poem of the beginning of the Revolutionary War. " Here is where the embattled farmers stood , and fired the ...             On Wings of Song: Poems About Birds (Everyman's Library Pocket Poet)4 reviews Everyman's Library, 2000 An Aviary of Delight J.D.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase.             Poems (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)3 reviews Edna St. Vincent Millay Everyman's Library, 2010 What should I be but a prophet and a liar? The Everyman's Library Pocket Poets collection has a special place in my heart, and this collection "Edna St. Vincent Millay Poems" demonstrates all the reasons why. As the imprints name implies these are small sturdy volumes, uncluttered with essays, introductions, or annotations, instead offering readers the undiluted nectar of the poets own word. Thus one is spared lengthy biographical ...             Poems Bewitched and Haunted (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets)3 reviews Everyman's Library, 2005 Delve into the supernatural, if you must...
