All of Marguerite Duras's writings are suffused with the certitude that absolute love is both necessary (sex) ... and impossible to achieve (death). But no book of hers embodies this idea so powerfully, so excessively, as No More (C'est Tout), the book she composed during the last year of her life until just days before her death. No More is literature shorn of all its niceties, a shout from the depths of Duras's being, celebrating life in defiance of the death she knew had already entered her immediate future. In part, it is also Duras' raucous salutation welcoming death. No More is a collection of words as pure as poetry and as full-throated as a fish-wife's call to market her wares, a disturbing and lasting challenge to any reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSociology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eReference\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Seven Stories Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Acceptable","offer_id":45261077348542,"sku":"1888363657-5","price":45.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51DioqJiSsL.jpg?v=1754076316"},{"product_id":"1771615125-a_perfect_offering_personal_stories_of_trauma_and_transformation","title":"A Perfect Offering: Personal Stories of Trauma and Transformation","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eWe live in a traumatic age. Or, perhaps, we should say that trauma appears fundamental to human existence. Over the past few years, especially, we have become more at ease talking about the traumas that impact, affect, and transform us. There is a large and growing literature on trauma all of which demand from readers a measure of emotional and psychological strength. A Perfect Offering brings to readers a variety of deeply personal narratives about traumatic and transformational events. The stories and images collected here include accounts of childhood and adult cancer, surviving terrorist attack, living with the legacy of Residential schools,losing a parent in a plane crash, coping with severe PTSD, living as a blind person in a world built for the sighted, facing the immanent death of a child, finding your way as a trans woman, recording images of war and its victims, surviving sexual assault, and others. A Perfect Offering conveys strength and weakness, failure and recovery, personal experiences and even a measure of universal truths. The book may seem raw, or visceral, but it is deeply personal true. It is written so that all of us can witness, comfort, experience and possibly even live though trauma. The book was born out of trauma. Soon after Harold Heft discovered in January 2014, at the age of 49, that he had an inoperable, malignant brain tumour, he and Peter OBrien and Suzanne Heft started working on this book. Harold died on 23 July 2015, with his personal contribution to this book still in draft form. Several months later, Suzanne and Peter restarted the project in honour of him and others. Some of the contributions in A Perfect Offering may seem shocking and disorienting. Others may seem inspiring and comforting. All are illustrative and compelling. They resonate. There is hard-won wisdom woven through into these stories and images. They are gripping and engaging personal observations on suffering, and adversity, and resilience. Thirty Four contributions, essays, narratives and images. Among the contributors are Jennifer Finney Boylan, trans woman and regular op-ed contributor to The New York Times; Trevor Green, who in 2006, as a soldier, was attacked by an axe-wielding teenager in a tent near Kandahar, Afghanistan, a journalist and author of six books; Charles C. Smith, author of 12 books and founder of Black Perspectives Cultural Program at Regent Park, Toronto; Jules Arita Koostachin, band, member of the Attawapiskat First Nation and editing a volume entitled Children of the Survivors: Intergenerational Resilience and Canadian Residential Schools; Paul Watson, awarded the 1994 Puli]tzer Prize for Spot News Photography, and author of three books; Lotje Soderland suffered a life-threatening brain hemorrhage at the age of 34 which left her unable to read, retain memories or live unassisted; London-based, her film My Beautiful Broken Brain streams on Netflix; and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eRegional Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Mosaic Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45261241811134,"sku":"1771615125-3","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/51zaWaxQH3L.jpg?v=1754077505"},{"product_id":"0060527986-warrior_of_the_light_from_the_bestselling_author_of_the_alchemist","title":"Warrior of the Light: From the Bestselling Author of The Alchemist","description":"\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ewarrior Of The Light: A Manual\u003c\/i\u003e Is An Inspirational Companion To \u003ci\u003ethe Alchemist\u003c\/i\u003e, An International Bestseller That Has Beguiled Millions Of Readers Around The World. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Every Short Passage Invites Us To Live Out Our Dreams, To Embrace The Uncertainty Of Life, And To Rise To Our Own Unique Destiny In His Inimitable Style, Paulo Coelho Helps Bring Out The Warrior Of The Light Within Each Of Us.

Unguarded And Never Intended For Publication, The Letters Record Experiences That Inspired His Art, Afford Insight Into His Creative Process, And Express His Candid Assessments Of His Own Work And That Of His Contemporaries. The Letters Present Immediate Accounts Of Events And Relationships That Profoundly Shaped His Life And Work.

Volume 2 (1923-1925) Illuminates Hemingway's Literary Apprenticeship In The Legendary Milieu Of Expatriate Paris In The 1920s That He Would Epitomize For Posterity. We Witness The Development Of His Friendships And Associations With Sylvia Beach, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ford Madox Ford, And John Dos Passos. Striving To 'make It New, ' He Emerges From The Tutelage Of Ezra Pound And Gertrude Stein To Forge A New Style, Gaining Recognition As One Of The Most Formidable Talents Of His Generation. In This Period, Hemingway Publishes His First Three Books, Including In Our Time (1925), And Discovers A Lifelong Passion For Spain And The Bullfight, Quickly Transforming His Experiences Into Fiction As The Sun Also Rises (1926). The Volume Features Many Previously Unpublished Letters And A Humorous Sketch That Was Rejected By Vanity Fair--publisher Description. The Letters Of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 3: 1926-1929, Featuring Many Previously Unpublished Letters, Follows A Rising Star As He Emerges From The Literary Left Bank Of Paris And Moves Into The American Mainstream. Maxwell Perkins, Legendary Editor At Scribner's, Nurtured The Young Hemingway's Talent, Accepting His Satirical Novel Torrents Of Spring (1926) In Order To Publish What Would Become A Signature Work Of The Twentieth Century: The Sun Also Rises (1926). By Early 1929 Hemingway Had Completed A Farewell To Arms. Hemingway's Letters Of This Period Also Reflect Landmark Events In His Personal Life, Including The Dissolution Of His First Marriage, His Remarriage, The Birth Of His Second Son, And The Suicide Of His Father. As The Volume Ends In April 1929, Hemingway Is Setting Off From Key West To Return To Paris And Standing On The Cusp Of Celebrity As One Of The Major Writers Of His Time.--publisher's Website. The Letters Of Ernest Hemingway, Volume 4, Spanning April 1929 Through 1931, Featuring Many Previously Unpublished Letters, Records The Establishment Of Ernest Hemingway As An Author Of International Renown Following The Publication Of A Farewell To Arms. Breaking New Artistic Ground In 1930, Hemingway Embarks Upon His First And Greatest Non-fiction Work, His Treatise On Bullfighting, Death In The Afternoon. Hemingway, Now A Professional Writer, Demonstrates A Growing Awareness Of The Literary Marketplace, Successfully Negotiating With Publishers And Agents And Responding To Fan Mail. In Private We See Hemingway's Generosity As He Provides For His Family, Offers Support To Friends And Colleagues, Orchestrates Fishing And Hunting Expeditions, And Sees The Birth Of His Third Son. Despite Suffering Injuries To His Writing Arm In A Car Accident In November 1930, Hemingway Writes And Dictates An Avalanche Of Letters That Record In Colorful And Eloquent Prose The Eventful Life And Achievements Of An Enormous Personality.--publisher's Website.

In response to firm but subtle questioning from Dennis O'Driscoll, Heaney sheds a personal light on his work (poems, essays, translations, plays) and on the artistic and ethical challenges he faced during the dark years of the Ulster Troubles.

Almost all accounts of D Day are told from the Allied perspective. But what was it like to be a German soldier in the bunkers of the Normandy coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest invasion in history? What motivated the German defenders, what were their thought processes - and how did they fight from one strong point to another, among the dunes and fields, on that first cataclysmic day? This book sheds fascinating light on these questions, bringing together statements made by German survivors after the war, when time had allowed them to reflect on their state of mind, their actions and their choices of June 6th. We see a perspective of D Day which deserves to be added to the historical record, in which ordinary German troops struggled to make sense of what was facing them, and emerged stunned at the weaponry and sheer determination of the Allied troops. Above all, we now have the unheard human voices of the individual German soldiers - the men who are so often portrayed as a faceless mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiographies \u0026amp; Memoirs\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEurope\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eFrance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Used - Very Good","offer_id":45262084440254,"sku":"1539586391-3","price":15.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/414gi9MD2GL._SL500.jpg?v=1754088478"},{"product_id":"0228101867-yours-_for_probably_always_martha_gellhorns_letters_of_love_and_war1930-1949","title":"Yours, for Probably Always: Martha Gellhorn's Letters of Love and War 1930-1949","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eA Collection Of Letters Between Martha Gellhorn And Her Family, Friends, Lovers, Politicians And Cultural Figures During The 1930's Usa, Spanish Civil War, Cuba With Hemingway, Europe In World War Ii And The Post-war Period-- Janet Somerville.

Her quirky, boisterous characters and rich use of language have won her readers' hearts and secured her place as one of America's most accomplished writers of short fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\nLibrary Journal\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together Paley's three previous volumes of stories: The Little Disturbances of Man (1959; Penguin, 1985. reprint), Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (Farrar, 1974), and Later the Same Day ( LJ 1\/86). Paley's inventive style and her funny, feisty, irreverent characters create vivid slices of life. Her stories often concern women coping with children alone, as in ``An Interest in Life,'' where a woman has an affair after her husband deserts her. A continuing character, Faith, is a divorced woman with children who gets her emotional support from her women friends. In ``Faith in a Tree,'' Faith's interests expand to include politics after she witnesses an antiwar demonstration in the park. In ``A Conversation with My Father,'' a writer explains that even a story's terrible ending is not final--the characters could still change. This possibility of hope permeates all Paley's stories, creating a rich treasury of unexpected pleasures and revealing truths.

Forty Autumns Makes Visceral The Pain And Longing Of One Family Forced To Live Apart In A World Divided By Two. At Twenty, Hanna Escaped From East To West Germany. But The Price Of Freedom--leaving Behind Her Parents, Eight Siblings, And Family Home--was Heartbreaking. Uprooted, Hanna Eventually Moved To America, Where She Settled Down With Her Husband And Had Children Of Her Own. Growing Up Near Washington, D.c., Hanna's Daughter, Nina Willner Became The First Female Army Intelligence Officer To Lead Sensitive Intelligence Operations In East Berlin At The Height Of The Cold War. Though Only A Few Miles Separated American Nina And Her German Relatives--grandmother Oma, Aunt Heidi, And Cousin, Cordula, A Member Of The East German Olympic Training Team--a Bitter Political War Kept Them Apart. In Forty Autumns, Nina Recounts Her Family's Story--five Ordinary Lives Buffeted By Circumstances Beyond Their Control. She Takes Us Deep Into The Tumultuous And Terrifying World Of East Germany Under Communist Rule, Revealing Both The Cruel Reality Her Relatives Endured And Her Own Experiences As An Intelligence Officer, Running Secret Operations Behind The Berlin Wall That Put Her Life At Risk.

This one-of-a-kind book was named a finalist in the 2002 Independent Publisher Book Awards (Multicultural Non-Fiction—Young Adult) as well in NAPRA's Nautilus Awards. It is about the experiences of young people in America — from their late teens to early thirties — who have embraced Buddhism. Thirty-three first-person narratives reflect on a broad range of life-stories, lessons, and livelihood issues, such as growing up in a Zen center, struggling with relationships, caring for the dying, and using marathon running as meditation.

She then asked 28 respondents mostly college-educated, self-identifying Buddhists in their twenties to write about how Buddhism has affected their self-transformations, life stories, and means of livelihood. This resulting collection of mostly brief, well-written, and interesting essays ranges from the poignant and inspiring (e.g., Jessica Morey's \"Ordinary Awakening\" and Seth Castleman's \"If a Nice Jewish Boy Sits in a Cave, Does He Make a Difference?\") to the sophomoric. Recommended as a secondary purchase for popular collections; more academic overviews of contemporary Buddhism in America can be found in The Faces of Buddhism in America (Univ. of California, 1998), edited by Charles Prebish and Kenneth Tanaka, and James Coleman's The New Buddhism (LJ 1\/01).

The scene is a dinner party in Athens in 416 B.C. at which the guests - including the comic poet Aristophanes and Plato's mentor, Socrates - playfully discuss the nature of eros, or love. By turns earthly and sublime, the dialogue culminates with Socrates's famous account of the \"ladder of love,\" an extended analysis of the many forms of eros. The evening ends with a speech by the drunken Alcibiades, the most popular and powerful Athenian of the day, who insists on praising Socrates rather than love, offering up a brilliant character sketch of the enigmatic philosopher. This Modern Library edition is the authoritative translation by Benjamin Jowett, substantially revised by Dr. Hayden Pelliccia, associate professor of classics at Cornell University. This revised translation takes into account advances in scholarship since Jowett's day and modernizes the Victorian English where it is coy or archaic.

Thinking he is stuck in the isolated Fief of Seacliffe, Will is surprised to be called away by his old mentor, Halt, for a secret mission. Rumors of genuine sorcery, not simple mind control or mass hysteria, are plaguing Castle Macindaw and upsetting the succession of the barony in the north. The Rangers need Will's special skills to investigate. Disguised as a traveling musician, Will embarks on another quest that not only might cost him his life but also the lives of those about whom he cares. As always, Flanagan is to be complimented for creating a fantasy world that relies on character and action rather than magic, but fans may have difficulty getting into this fifth Ranger's Apprentice novel. The first chapters' exposition tells rather than shows what Will has done during the years between the Battle for Skandia and the present. Familiar characters are sadly absent for the first part of the book, although Halt makes his appearance midway through. The Princess Cassandra is mentioned only in passing, and Alyss, a diplomat, is introduced as Will's new romantic interest. Readers have to assume the relationship between them, as so much happened \"off stage\" that it is difficult to warm to her character. As the novel progresses and the action picks up, however, it becomes a satisfying, albeit not the best, addition to this popular series.
