Perhaps no artist has ever taken the eternal fables of Aesop so seriously and yet with such lighthearted humor and sly delight as has Charles Santore in this new edition of the timeless parables. Until this time, many editions have used lifeless, archaic texts, sprinkled them with maxims, and decorated them with little throwaway sketches, leaving the reader puzzled as to why the stories have been so popular for so long. Now comes Charles Santore, who has taken the animals and their lessons to heart, dipped his fabulous watercolor brush in passion, humor, and life, and come up with scenes and animals that leap off the page, capturing the reader and the listening child,… Read More

A little bubble at bottom of front cover, otherwise fine.. To write about Sufism, or Islamic mysticism, is an almost impossible task. At the first step, a wide mountain range appears before the eye - and the longer the seeker pursues the path, the more difficult it seems to reach any goal at all. He may dwell in the rose gardens of Persian mystical poetry or try to reach the icy peaks of theosophic speculations; he may dwell in the lowlands of popular saint worship or drive his camel through the endless deserts of theoretical discourses about the nature of Sufism, of God, and of the world' or he may be content to have an all-around glimpse of the landscape, enjoying the beauty of some of the highest peaks bathed in the sunlight of early morning, or colored by the violet haze of a cool evening. In any case, only the elect… Read More

Matching Bunyan's flare for storytelling and vivid imagery, Gary Schmidt's new narrative also echoes the best of writers like Dante, Sir Thomas Browne, E.M. Forster, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Barry Moser's illustrations bring Bunyan's unforgettable characters and landscapes to life in fresh ways. While Christian himself is interpreted as a contemporary figure, Moser portrays the story's characters within different historical eras, powerfully enhancing their symbolic meanings for today's readers while also showing their common tie to humankind throughout the ages.

Berkeley: University of California Press, 1980. First Edition. 8vo. Brown marbled paper covered boards with Grey cloth spine stamped in gold. 382 pp. including index. Book is fine./Fine dust jacket.. Using archival materials from seven countries, the author reconstructs the internal history of the French Prophets, tracing social, sexual, and cultural tensions. He describes the interplay of four kinds of millenarian ethos in prophecy and ritual, and he follows the process by which the French Prophets lost vitality and coherence. Alert to subtle relationships between prophecy and group dynamics, the author integrates the work of anthropologists, social psychologists, sociologists, and historians of religion. Paying special attention to women's roles, he proposes new approaches to the study of female prophets and leaders within a partriarchal, commercial society. In 1706 three prophets appeared in London. They were Huguenots from southeastern France, heirs to a prophetic tradition which had taken root… Read More
