Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This high-spirited tale, told through an exchange of letters, is unique in Jane Austen's small body of work. It tells the story of Lady Susan, a brilliant, beautiful and morally reprehensible coquette who delights in making men fall in love with her, deceiving their wives' friendship and even tormenting her own daughter, cruelly bending her to her will. Austen clearly delighted in her monstrous heroine, tracing Lady Susan's manoeuvrings to remarry yet continue on with her lover and marry off her young daughter with great wit, zest and panache. Epistolary novel written presumably between 1793-1794 and originally published 1871 in Edward Austen-Leigh's A Memoir of Jane Austen.

Book First Edition
Condition: New. First edition. 119pp. Duodecimo [17.75 cm]. Illustrated wraps. From the publisher: "A classic tale of terror and grotesquerie by the original master of horror "H. P. Lovecraft proclaimed his Dunwich Horror "so fiendish" that his editor at Weird Tales "may not dare to print it." The editor, fortunately, knew a good thing when he saw it. "One of the core Cthulhu stories, The Dunwich Horror introduces us to the grim village of Dunwich, where each member of the Whateley family is more grotesque than the other. There's the grandfather, a mad old sorcerer; Lavinia, the deformed, albino woman; and Wilbur, a disgusting specimen who reaches full manhood in less than a decade. And above all, there's the mysterious presence in the farmhouse, unseen but horrifying, which seems to be growing . . .".

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Never before available, the unexpurgated last interview with James BaldwinNever before available, the unexpurgated last interview with James Baldwin"I was not born to be what someone said I was. I was not born to be defined by someone else, but by myself, and myself only." When, in the fall of 1987, the poet Quincy Troupe traveled to the south of France to interview James Baldwin, Baldwin's brother David told him to ask Baldwin about everything-Baldwin was critically ill and David knew that this might be the writer's last chance to speak at length about his life and work.The result is one of the most eloquent and revelatory interviews of Baldwin's career, a conversation that ranges widely over such topics as his childhood in Harlem, his close friendship with Miles Davis, his relationship with writers like Toni Morrison and Richard Wright, his years in France, and his ever-incisive thoughts on the history of race relations and the African-American experience.Also collected here are significant interviews from other moments in Baldwin's life, including an in-depth interview conducted by Studs Terkel shortly after the publication of Nobody Knows My Name. These interviews showcase, above all, Baldwin's fearlessness and integrity as a writer, thinker, and individual, as well as the profound struggles he faced along the way.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A revealing exploration into how trust defines our lives, how it can be won and lost, and what its future might look like, in this fascinating title in the Melville House's FUTURES series.In a society battered by economic, political, cultural and ecological collapse, where do we place our trust, now that it is more vital than ever for our survival? How has that trust in our laws, our media, our governments been lost, and how can it be won back? Examining the police, the rule of law, artificial intelligence, the 21st century city and social media, Ros Taylor imagines what life might be like in years to come if trust continues to erode.Have conspiracy theories permanently damaged our society? Will technological advances, which require more and more of our human selves, ultimately be rejected by future generations? And in a world fast approaching irreversible levels of ecological damage, how can we trust the custodians of these institutions to do the right thing even as humanity faces catastrophe?

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From Russia to The Democratic Republic of Congo to Myanmar, Chris Stephen ponders the future of prosecuting war criminals who think themselves untouchable in this timely new book, part of Melville House FUTURES series.We are all too familiar with the horrors of war. Throughout history, rules have been laid down to govern the conduct of war, with varying success. Today, the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Netherlands is the world's first permanent war crimes court, but since it opened in 2002, it has jailed just 4 people. So what has gone wrong?Journalist and ex war-correspondent Chris Stephen takes a look at the colorful history of how war law was devised, asking complicated and important questions such as: What constitutes a war crime? How and when can the law step into prosecute? Today, membership of the ICC is voluntary. Of the UNs 193 member states, 123 are in the ICC. But most of the worlds war crimes are committed by the other 70. Simply put, governments that commit war crimes dont join the ICC like Russia, for example.How then, do we go after war criminals? Follow the money, argues Stephen, and go after the banks and corporations that enable warlords. It worked for Al Capone, who, famously, was jailed not for his many killings, but for not paying his taxes. It was the same for Milosevic: years were spent gathering records, so judges could be shown he pulled the financial strings.Corporations and banks, span the world. Democracies and dictators both rely on them. The future of war crime courts demand they hit all the enablers, whether they wear battle fatigues or three-piece suits.

Contents: A handwritten life -- Pen, paper, ink : a stroll through handwriting history -- The golden age of penmanship -- Father Michon and my Aunt Fanny -- Writing by hand in a digital age -- Is handwriting important? Summary: Steeped in the Palmer Method of Handwriting she learned in Catholic school, Kitty Burns Florey is a self-confessed Â"penmanship nutÂ" who loves the act of taking pen to paper. So when she discovered that schools today forego handwriting drills in favor of teaching something called keyboarding, it gave her pause: Â"There is a widespread belief that, in a digital world, forming letters on paper with a pen is pointless and obsolete, Â" she says, Â"and anyone who thinks otherwise is right up there with folks who still have fallout shelters in their backyards. Â" Florey tackles the importance of writing by hand and its place in our increasingly electronic society in this fascinating exploration of the history of handwriting. Weaving together the evolution of writing implements and scripts, pen-collecting societies, the golden age of American penmanship, the growth in popularity of handwriting analysis, and the many aficionados who still prefer scribbling on paper to tapping on keys, she asks the question: Is writing by hand really no longer necessary in today's busy world? 1 Kg.
