London: Faber and Faber, 1936. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 2nd Edition. 8vo - over 7¾. Murder in the Cathedral, poetic drama in two parts, with a prose sermon interlude, the most successful play by American English poet T.S. Eliot. The play was performed at Canterbury Cathedral in 1935 and published the same year. Set in December 1170, it is a modern miracle play on the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury. The play's most striking feature is the use of a chorus in the Classical Greek manner. The poor women of Canterbury who make up the chorus nervously await Thomas's return from his seven-year exile, fretting over his volatile relationship with King Henry II. Thomas arrives and must resist four temptations: worldly pleasures, lasting power as chancellor, recognition as a leader of the barons against the king, and eternal glory as a martyr. After Thomas delivers his Christmas morning sermon, four knights in the service of the king accost him and… Read More

NY: Knopf, 1999. Book. As New. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. The stories in For the Relief of Unbearable Urges are powerfully inventive and often haunting, steeped in the weight of Jewish history and in the customs of Orthodox life. But it is in the largeness of their spirit-- a spirit that finds in doubt a doorway to faith, that sees in despair a chance for the heart to deepen--and in the wisdom that so prodigiously transcends the author's twenty-eight years, that these stories are truly remarkable. Nathan Englander envisions a group of Polish Jews herded toward a train bound for Auschwitz and in a deft imaginative twist turns them into acrobats tumbling out of harm's way; he takes an elderly wigmaker and makes her, for a single moment, beautiful. Again and again, Englander does what feels impossible: he finds, wherever he looks, a province beyond death's dominion. For the Relief of Unbearable Urges is a work of stunning authority and imagination--a book that is as… Read More

Ephemera. Very Good. Hardcover. 1939-1950s. --A COP'S LIFE: DEPT. FILES, PROPERTY & NEWS STORIES -- scrapbook belonging to Baltimore Co., Maryland, Sergent Ernest P. Betz. This scrapbook is a fabulous array of police records & personal material-- news-clippings attest to the prosaic nature of violence, fear and thievery that Sgt. Betz faced daily. Betz's heroism is described in grateful letters from victims, along with his official commendations. News-clippings show Sgt. Betz's competitive nature, his enthusiasm for marksmanship, long distance running and amateur boxing. Prior to police work, Ernest Betz spent 8 years as a journeyman truck & auto mechanic. Documents show Betz filed for a furlough from police work during WW2 (for reasons not shown) and his request was denied, at which time Betz formally resigned, and returned to his former trade.

Indianapolis: The Bobbs-merrill Company, 1927. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 8vo - over 7¾. God made man, like Himself, lonely. The animals had mates, but man had a soul. God admired this distinction, but man at that time did not. Man tried to make friends with the animals, but a day came when the divine loneliness could not be endured, so God made Lilith, the most seductive body of a woman the oldest poets remembers. However Lilith had no soul, so God created Eve and divided the one soul between them. Not exactly what Adam had asked for. Screen reader support enabled. .
