FROM THE PUBLISHER - In his first collection of new poems since receiving the Nobel prize for Literature in 1980, Czeslaw Milosz, with a playfulness and passionate restlessness of mind that are entirely characteristic, has changed the very idea of what a book of poetry can be. In Unattainable Earth, verse, prose poems, prose jottings, pensees, quotations, translations and even fragments from personal letters have been gathered into the shape of a writer's notebook, where they form a sustained meditation on sexuality, language, the problems of belief, the life of the streets of cities and the mysterious annihilating power of time. And beneath all these motifs there is, finally, a single subject - the powerful desire to confront the ecstatic experience of life on…

A Joan Palevsky Book in Classical Literature. 50 b/w photographs, 9 tables, 2 graphs . 192 pages. hardcover. keywords: Archaeology Ancient History Language . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Most of the everyday writing from the ancient world - that is, informal writing not intended for a long life or wide public distribution - has perished. Reinterpreting the silences and blanks of the historical record, leading papyrologist Roger S. Bagnall convincingly argues, however, that ordinary people - from Britain to Egypt to Afghanistan - used writing in their daily lives far more extensively than has been recognized. Marshalling new and little-known evidence, including remarkable graffiti recently discovered in Smyrna, Bagnall presents a fascinating analysis of writing in different segments of society. His book offers a new picture of literacy in the ancient world…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Hong Kong's reunification with China has captured the world's attention, but for years this bustling little territory has fascinated filmgoers of all nations with its enormous output of movies. Like Hollywood, Hong Kong specializes in mass-appeal entertainment action films, ghost stories, comedies, and other popular genres - yet its movies possess an eye-popping, no-holds-barred exuberance, and a disregard for most taboos, that Hollywood cannot match. Even Hong Kong art films - Wong Kar-wai's Chungking Express, for instance - pulse with energy. Small wonder, then, that Hollywood has begun to court Hong Kong talent, such as the director John Woo and the action stars Jackie Chan and Michelle Yeoh. In Hong Kong Babylon, the award-winning journalist Fredric…

Westfield. 1991. Open Magazine Pamphlet Series. 1st Printing. Very Good in Wrappers. 16 pages. paperback. Pamphlet # 13. keywords: Politics Middle East. FROM THE PUBLISHER - From This Pamphlet: . My premise is that neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis have a military option against each other. Both peoples must learn to live in peace, and in mutual acknowledgment of each other's history and actuality. Yet we must also admit as a simple fact that today only one people, Israeli Jews, has sovereignty, has achieved self-determination, even as the other people, the Palestinian Arabs, live in a state of subordination and oppression. That the Palestinians struggle against and resist this state of affairs is a function of how injustice and sufferings do not defeat a people, nor compel it into submission, but rather drives that people to resist more, and to struggle further for political justice and rights. inventory #31271

In physical and psychological retreat, he returns to his abandoned childhood home, believing that, away from his wife and daughter, away from the world at large, alone, without an audience of any kind, he might finally stop performing, catch himself in the act of living, and simply be. But the house is unexpectedly populated. There are Cleave 's memories, which…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - This innovative history of California opens up new vistas on the interrelationship among culture, nature, and society by focusing on the state's signature export-the orange. From the 1870s onward, California oranges were packaged in crates bearing colorful images of an Edenic landscape. This book demystifies those lush images, revealing the orange as a manufactured product of the state's orange industry. Orange Empire brings together for the first time the full story of the orange industry-how growers, scientists, and workers transformed the natural and social landscape of California, turning it into a factory for the production of millions of oranges. That industry put up billboards in cities across the nation and placed enticing pictures of sun-kissed fruits into nearly every American's home. It convinced Americans…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - IN SPANISH. The Secret of the Bulls is a thoroughly enchanting and lush romantic novel, a passionate family saga that brings to life the brilliantly-colored world of prerevolutionary Cuba. It is a love story, the story of Maximiliano and Dolores's lifelong passionate love for one another, anchored firmly in a world where love stories are larger than life, where desires are shamelessly hot, where male pride is fierce, and family loyalty sacred. Bernardo's original and spellbinding novel explores three generations of love and passion, forbidden kisses, and enduring family pride. The Secret of the Bulls is an epic, lusty novel, sometimes comic, sometimes tragic-a novel that seeks to understand the psychology of machismo in a culture steeped in both tradition and tragedy. inventory #21895 ISBN:…
