FROM THE PUBLISHER - When Vladimir Nabokov died in 1977, he left instructions for his heirs to burn the 138 handwritten index cards that made up the rough draft of his final and unfinished novel, The Original of Laura. But Nabokov's wife, Vera, could not bear to destroy her husband's last work, and when she died, the fate of the manuscript fell to her son. Dmitri Nabokov, now seventy-five--the Russian novelist's only surviving heir, and translator of many of his books--has wrestled for three decades with the decision of whether to honor his father's wish or preserve for posterity the last piece of writing of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. His decision finally to allow publication of the fragmented narrative--dark yet playful, preoccupied with mortality--affords us one last…

New York. 1968. March 1968. Pocket Books. 1st Pocket Books Paperback Edition. Good in Slightly Worn Wrappers. 178 pages. paperback. 75258. keywords: Literature Russia America. FROM THE PUBLISHER - An electrifying novel by the author John Updike has called . the best writer of English prose at present holding American Citizenship,' DESPAIR is the sardonic story of a man who undertakes the perfect crime-his own murder. DESPAIR'S protagonist, Hermann, is another masterly portrait in the fascinating gallery of living characters Vladimir Nabokov has given to world literature. In his pseudo worldliness, his odd genius, Hermann is one with such other heteroclitic neurotic Nabokovian creations as Humbert Humbert and Charles Kinbote. Rapt in his own reality, incapable of escaping or explicating it, he is as solitary in his abyss as Luzhin or Charlotte Haze of Lolita. Illuminated throughout by the virtuosity and cunning wit that are Vladimir Nabokov's hallmarks, bearing abundant evidence of…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In a series of powerful and moving documents, anthropologist Peter Nabokov presents a history of Native American and white relations as seen through Indian eyes and told through Indian voices: a record spanning more than five hundred years of interchange between the two peoples. Drawing from a wide range of sources - traditional narratives, Indian autobiographies, government transcripts, firsthand interviews, and more - Nabokov has assembled a remarkably rich and vivid collection, representing nothing less than an alternative history of North America. 'Beginning with the Indian's first encounters with the earliest explorers, traders, missionaries, settlers, and soldiers and continuing to the present, Native American Testimony presents an authentic, challenging picture of an important, tragic, and frequently misunderstood aspect of…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - The mystery of Lorca's lost' unpublished drama THE PUBLIC is here disclosed by Rafael Martinez Nadal, the poet's close friend and the owner of what would seem to be the first draft of the play. Nadal, who awaits the necessary permission to publish the full text, gives here the exact details of the manuscript, a scene-by-scene synopsis of the play, and a detailed analysis. Thus, a new and unified view of Lorca's work becomes possible. The play is at once the most difficult and the most comprehensive of Lorca's writings, employing themes, images, and techniques that pervade the poems and dramatic work. Nadal shows that the surrealist quality of the scenes grew out of Lorca's efforts to bring the most intimate problems to the stage, in…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Why does everything sound better if it's said in French? That fascination is at the heart of The Story of French, the first history of one of the most beautiful languages in the world that was, at one time, the pre-eminent language of literature, science and diplomacy. Nadeau and Barlow chart the history of a language spoken as a native tongue by 130 million people around the globe. The first document written in the French was signed by the sons of Charlemagne in 832. After this, Latin was purged from the courts of France by Francois 1st, giving root to French speakers' 21st century obsession with language protection. The obsession progressed as Cardinal Richelieu established the French Academy, a group entrusted with the responsibility of keeping the language pure and eloquent. As French circled the globe, the international cast…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - We all have dreams - things we fantasize about doing and generally never get around to. This is the story of Azar Nafisi's dream and of the nightmare that made it come true. For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were all former students whom she had taught at university. Some came from conservative and religious families, others were progressive and secular; several had spent time in jail. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In this debut novel by Rachel Nagelberg, conceptual artist Sheila B. Ackerman heeds a mysterious urge to return to her estranged family home and arrives at the exact moment of her mother's suicide. In an attempt to cope with and understand her own self destructive tendencies, Sheila plants a camera on the lawn outside the house to film 24/7 while workers deconstruct the physical object that encases so many of her memories. Meanwhile, she finds herself hunting a robot drone through the San Francisco MOMA with a baseball bat, part of a provocative, technological show, The Last Art, experiencing more and more frequent blackouts, and resuming an affair with her college professor.

Roxanna leaves no farewell, no word of explanation, no trace of her existence. Lili's subsequent search for her mother-spurred by the tireless efforts of her aunt Miriam the Moon-is at the heart of this mesmerizing epic tale that follows Roxanna, born as a bad-luck child in the harsh Jewish ghetto of Tehran, through the opulent world of Iran's aristocracy, to the whorehouses of Turkey and beyond, to present-day Los Angeles. At stake are Roxanna's hopes for happiness, for escaping the bonds of Old World tradition and finding forgiveness for that most egregious of sins-desire. Weaving together strands of Persian and Jewish culture, Gina Nahai brings to life a courageous…

Princeton. 2007. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780691125145. 270 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mathematics. FROM THE PUBLISHER - We all played tag when we were kids. The rules couldn't be easier - one player is designated it' and must try to tag out one of the others. What most of us don't realize is that this simple chase game is in fact an application of pursuit theory, and that the same principles of games like tag, dodgeball, and hide-and-seek are at play in military strategy, high-seas chases by the Coast Guard, even romantic pursuits. In Chases and Escapes, Paul Nahin gives us the first complete history of this fascinating area of mathematics. Writing in an accessible style that has been enjoyed by popular-math enthusiasts everywhere, Nahin traces the development of modern pursuit theory from its classical analytical beginnings to the present day. Along the way, he informs his mathematical discussions with fun facts and captivating…

Princeton. 2008. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780691126982. 276 pages. hardcover. keywords: Mathematics Probability. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Some probability problems are so difficult that they stump the smartest mathematicians. But even the hardest of these problems can often be solved with a computer and a Monte Carlo simulation, in which a random-number generator simulates a physical process, such as a million rolls of a pair of dice. This is what Digital Dice is all about: how to get numerical answers to difficult probability problems without having to solve complicated mathematical equations. Popular-math writer Paul Nahin challenges readers to solve twenty-one difficult but fun problems, from determining the odds of coin-flipping games to figuring out the behavior of elevators. Problems build from relatively easy (deciding whether a dishwasher who breaks most of the dishes at a restaurant during a given week is clumsy or just the victim of randomness)…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In GUERRILLAS, V. S. Naipaul directly addresses himself to his most essential themes: exile, displacement, and the agonizing cruelty and the pain of colonialism, both for those who rule and those who are their victims. Set on a troubled Caribbean island, where everybody wants to fight his own little war,' where everybody is a guerrilla,' the novel centers on an Englishman named Roche, once a hero of the South African resistance, who has come to the island - subdued now, almost withdrawn - to work and to help. Soon his English mistress arrives: casually nihilistic, bored, quickly enticed - excited - by fantasies of native power and sexuality, and blindly unaware of any possible consequences of her acts. At once Roche and Jane are drawn into fatal connection with a young…

New York. 1981. Simon & Schuster. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0671424718. 336 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Caribbean Trinidad England India . FROM THE PUBLISHER - BLACK & WHITE is a non-fiction book written by Shiva Naipaul and published by Hamish Hamilton in the U.K. in 1980. It was published with the title JOURNEY TO NOWHERE: A NEW WORLD TRAGEDY in the U.S. The book is based on Naipaul's trip to Guyana in the aftermath of the Jonestown Massacre, and his subsequent trip to the United States, in which he explored links between the People's Temple and other groups and individuals. Naipaul attempted to connect Rev. Jim Jones, founder of the People's Temple, with disparate parts of California's counterculture, and Guyanese and other Third World governments and the revolutionary ideologies which supported them. Naipaul was highly critical of these and other movements, including the U.S. Civil Rights movement, black liberation, and the nascent New Age movement,…

Mr Stone and the Knights Companion is the first of Mr Naipaul's books to turn away from his native West Indies and to deal with English characters in an English scene. In this novel he tells the story of Mr Stone's last months before his retirement from his post as librarian in a large commercial firm. At such a time, however well regulated a man s life has been, he begins to feel a chill creeping in from the future. Mr Stone, whose life has been well-regulated to the point of eccentricity, becomes so rattled by intimations of mortality that at sixty-two, in spite of having enjoyed his existence as a bachelor, he gets married.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - In 1950, after winning a scholarship from the government of Trinidad, V. S. Naipaul, aged seventeen, left home for the first time. Following a two-week journey by steamer, he arrived in Oxford, England, a world utterly removed from the one he had longed to escape and to which he would never really return. This extraordinary collection of letters gives us, as nothing published previously has, an intimate view of Naipaul's formative years. It is a story of family members oceans apart, clinging to one another against the sadness of dislocation and isolation: The young Naipaul, desperate not for a degree but to become a writer and make his way in the world. His beloved sister Kamla, anxious and bewildered, away at school in India. And his melancholy but…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - AN UNFINISHED JOURNEY is a posthumous collection of essays by Shiva Naipaul, published by Hamish and Hamilton in 1986. The foreword is written by the author's father-in-law, Douglas Stuart, who creates a short biographical sketch of the author, describing Shiva as a writer who gained in discipline but was painfully slow, even at times spending an entire afternoon trying to finish a sentence. He also asked Naipaul why he had lost the comic tone in his writing, and wrote that Naipaul attributed it to the arresting horror of witnessing the aftermath of the Jonestown Massacre, part of his research for the book BLACK & WHITE. The essays in the collection are in part autobiographical, such as those on Shiva's relationship with his brother V. S. Naipaul, and his experiences in…

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here is the astringent wit of an Aubrey Mennen turned loose in the rich landscape of a Caribbean isle. V. S. Naipaul is an extraordinary storyteller - a voice from Trinidad of today, as contemporary and exciting as Calypso - and in THE MYSTIC MASSEUR he has created one of the most amusing and fascinating characters in contemporary fiction, Ganesh Rasumair. If Ganesh had not been so unappreciated as a schoolteacher, he would never have become a masseur. If he had not lacked talent as an ordinary masseur, he would never have blossomed into a mystic one; and, of course, if he had not lived in Trinidad, at first an obscure member and finally an ornament of the Hindu community there, none of the things that happened to him would have happened in quite that way, for Trinidad, seen with the eye of humor, is a most surprising place. This is…

In the title story, an Indian man's chance exposure to a Western-style porn film affects not only his marriage - his wife hides for hours, then (lays, then weeks at a time from his renewed desire - but also his neighborhood, as traditional notions of marriage, intimacy, and propriety confront the unspeakable, and the tacitly alluring. In The Sculptor of Sands,' a superbly imagined mystical tale with the depth and resonance of legend, a slight young man's sensuous sand sculptures transfix a seaside community and, despite their evanescence, leave an indelible impression on the women of the town.
