Description:
Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Samuel Clemens ("Mark Twain"), Henry James, Ernest Hemingway—Joyce Carol Oates evokes each of these American literary icons in her newest work of prose fiction, poignantly and audaciously reinventing the climactic events of their lives. In subtly nuanced language suggestive of each of these writers, Oates explores the mysterious regions of the unknowable self that is "genius"—for Edgar Allan Poe, a belated encounter with bizarre life‑forms utterly alien to the poet's exalted Romantic aesthetics; for Emily Dickinson, resurrected in the twenty-first century in a "distilled" state, a belated encounter with blundering humanity and brute passion of a kind excluded from the poet's verse; for the elderly, renowned Samuel Clemens, a belated encounter with impassioned innocence, in the form of "the little girl who loves you"; for Henry James, an aging volunteer in a London hospital during World War I, a belated encounter with the physicality of desire and the raw…

This is the first book of Mari Sandoz's sister's major effort to round up and publish the letters of Mari Sandoz for the six years before her first book, OLD JULES, was published in 1935. The material of which this is a part ,was originally published in four separate volumes starting in 1972. does not have the slipcase. Signed by Mari Sandoz. ( may need more detailed research by those 0rganizations dedicated to her memory and works.) On June 5, 1950, Mari Sandoz walked across the stage of the Nebraska Coliseum during the annual commencement ceremony of the University of Nebraska. Before a crowd of well over 2,000, she shook Chancellor Rueben Gustavson's hand and proudly accepted an honorary Doctorate of Literature.The degree stated, "Mari Susette Sandoz, distinguished Nebraska historian, biographer, novelist, story writer." For the 54-year-old Sandoz, the honor not only assuaged her academic insecurities—she had neither high school diploma nor formal college degree—but it validated twenty years…

Description:
A personal glimpse into the life of one of the most influential twentieth-century philosophers covers his involvement with the existentialist movement and false accusations associating him with Hitler and Nazism. During 1888 in Turin, Italy, Nietzsche wrote three of his most important works - Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, and The Antichrist. As she recounts the dramatic births of those books, Chamberlain paints a portrait of the majestic baroque city in which Nietzsche spent the last sane year of his life before his famous mental breakdown damaged him permanently. Nietzsche in Turin is both a remarkable book of travel literature and a unique biography of one of our most celebrated, though often misunderstood, thinkers. In Chamberlain's account, Friedrich Nietzsche emerges as a gentle, tortured man, dominated by his rigorous mind and his love of music, and soothed by the strangely otherworldly city of Turin.All pages clean and unmarked
