Title :
Henry James on CultureAuthor: James Henry, Walker Pierre A. (EDT) Publisher: Univ of Nebraska Pr The eighteen essays in this collection show Henry James (1843–1916) in a new and unexpected light—as a political commentator and social reformer. His acute powers of observation, his unerring feel for social nuance, and his abiding interest in the news, conversations, and controversies of the moment make these essays a witty and entertaining illumination of American, British, European, and colonial society in the years from 1878 to 1917. Included are writings on British politics and diplomacy, on the language and manners of Americans, on the possibility of an afterlife, and on the heroism and human costs of the First World War. Among the subjects that interest James are France's infatuation with the Prince of Wales, the trumped-up excuses for war in Afghanistan, the brutal frankness of Bismarck, the parliamentary games of Gladstone and Disraeli, the rise of Zulu power in South Africa, the use of “yeah” and “yup” for the American affirmative, the fearlessness of American women and their immunity from criticism, the effect of chewing gum on the discussion of opera, the sufferings of Americans at the hands of store clerks, the proper degrees of gratitude for roadside bicycle repairs, the work of the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps, the use of the dash, the tyranny of the newspapers, the sinking of the Lusitania, and the conditions in military hospitals. € 16,00

Title :
In Hot PursuitAuthor: Dobson James C., Smith Hal (NRT), Leigh Katie (NRT), Ryan Will (NRT), Edmiston Walker (NRT) Publisher: Tyndale House Pub He loves me, he loves me not? Love—even life itself—is on the line as Connie drives all the way to Washington, D.C., to mend fences with Mitch. But his cool reception matches the frigid waters that nearly cost Connie her life during a stopover in West Virginia. A sudden job opportunity abroad creates yet another crisis for their relationship. Meanwhile, Odyssey's master of mispronunciation, Bart Rathbone, decides to sponsor—what else?—a Shakespeare festival. But he ends up with more theatrics behind stage than on it. Throughout these and other conflict-solving stories, kids 8 and up will learn that running away from a problem only makes matters worse. Volume 41 contains the following stories (and themes):

Title :
The BostoniansAuthor: James Henry, Byatt A. S. (INT), Walker Pierre A. (CON) Publisher: Modern Library This brilliant satire of the women's rights movement in America is the story of the ravishing inspirational speaker Verena Tarrant and the bitter struggle between two distant cousins who seek to control her. Will the privileged Boston feminist Olive Chancellor succeed in turning her beloved ward into a celebrated activist and lifetime companion? Or will Basil Ransom, a conservative southern lawyer, steal Verena's heart and remove her from the limelight? “The Bostonians has a vigor and blithe wit found nowhere else in James,” writes A. S. Byatt in her Introduction. “It is about idealism in a democracy that is still recovering from a civil war bitterly fought for social ideals . . . [written] with a ferocious, precise, detailed—and wildly comic—realism.” € 8,00

Title :
The Portrait of a LadyAuthor: James Henry, Brookner Anita (INT), Walker Pierre A. Publisher: Modern Library One of the great heroines of American literature, Isabel Archer, journeys to Europe in order to, as Henry James writes in his 1908 Preface, “affront her destiny.” James began The Portrait of a Lady without a plot or subject, only the slim but provocative notion of a young woman taking control of her fate. The result is a richly imagined study of an American heiress who turns away her suitors in an effort to first establish—and then protect—her independence. But Isabel's pursuit of spiritual freedom collapses when she meets the captivating Gilbert Osmond. “James's formidable powers of observation, his stance as a kind of bachelor recorder of human doings in which he is not involved,” writes Hortense Calisher, “make him a first-class documentarian, joining him to that great body of storytellers who amass what formal history cannot.” € 12,00

Title :
Let Us Now Praise Famous MenAuthor: Agee James, Evans Walker Publisher: Mariner Books In the summer of 1936, James Agee and Walker Evans set out on assignment for Fortune magazine to explore the daily lives of sharecroppers in the South. Their journey would prove an extraordinary collaboration and a watershed literary event when in 1941 LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN was first published to enormous critical acclaim. This unsparing record of place, of the people who shaped the land, and of the rhythm of their lives was called intensely moving and unrelentingly honest, and is 'renowned for its fusion of social conscience and artistic radicality' (New York Times). Today it stands as a poetic tract of its time, recognized by the New York Public Library as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century. With an elegant new design as well as a sixty-four-page photographic prologue of Evans's classic images, reproduced from archival negatives, this sixtieth anniversary edition reintroduces the legendary author and photographer to a new generation. € 20,50

Title :
A Handbook of Middle EnglishAuthor: Mosse Fernand, Walker James A. (TRN) Publisher: Johns Hopkins Univ Pr Professor Fernand Mossé of the Collège de France is at home in all the Germanic languages and literatures, but for many years he has paid particular attention to English. Since he is a medievalist he has interested himself first and foremost in the earlier periods, and since he is a teacher as well as investigator he has been long concerned to smooth the path of students taking their first steps into a field far from our day and time. A few years ago, this concern of his ripened into a work that won general recognition as soon as it came out: his Manuel de l'Anglais du Moyen Age des Origines an XIVe Siècle. In the Manuel the author's mastery of the material and talent for clear and orderly presentation are happily combined. In this work we have by far the best introduction to medieval English now available.—from the Foreword € 37,40

Title :
Lakota. Tradizioni e ritiAuthor: Walker James R. Publisher: Mursia Il volume presenta una raccolta dei documenti più importanti, scelti tra centinaia di pagine di note, interviste, testi e saggi che James Walker raccolse durante i diciotto anni trascorsi alla riserva indiana di Pine Ridge fra i Sioux Oglala. Dal 1896 al 1914 egli raccolse documenti relativi a quasi tutti gli aspetti dell'antico modo di vivere dei Lakota e inoltre persuase alcuni di loro a lasciarsi intervistare: pur essendo inizialmente del tutto estraneo agli Oglada, diventò poco a poco un amico fidato, grazie alla propria opera di medico e all'interesse che manifestò nei confronti della cultura tradizionale. € 19,50
