Magazine. Zustand: Very Good+. (Vol. LXII, No. 5; whole no. 372). [a nice clean copy, with just a bit of minor damage to base of spine, and a soft diagonal crease at the upper right corner of the front cover]. (B&W/color photographs, ads, etc.) As with most issues of Esquire from this period, this one contains an embarrassment of riches, notably: Norman Mailer's article "In the Red Light: A History of the Republican Convention in 1964"; a related article by Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, "The Unmaking of a President," focusing on Richard Nixon's role at the convention; a profile of comedian Godfrey Cambridge, by Mel Gussow; David Halberstam's article "The Ugliest American in Vietnam," about John Paul Vann (a major source for Halberstam's early reporting from Vietnam, and later the central figure in Neil Sheehan's Pulitzer Prize-winning book "A Bright Shining Lie"); "an outside view" of Elizabeth Taylor and her family (the cover story) by Stanley Elkin; "The Corset," a short story by Evan S. Connell, Jr.; "New York at 6:30 P.M.," a kind-of profile of artist John Koch, by Dorothy Parker; and a brief photo-illustrated feature about actress Sue Lyon. The magazine's cover is a double-size foldout, with Liz Taylor on the front and daughter Liza on the inner flap.

"Great American Mystery Stories of the Twentieth Century presents an impressive array of writers. These literary sleuths - American writers who hail from all over the United States and even abroad - offer stories that reflect the varied experiences of a vast and culturally diverse country. The authors in this collection have garnered innumerable honors, from myriad awards conferred by their own mystery-writing colleagues to the Nobel Prize in Literature; they all share the writer's greatest reward, however, the broad readership and popular acclaim that can only come from creating superb, entertaining tales. Some of these mystery masters have left an indelible mark on the reading public by creating characters that have entered the national consciousness. The Saint, Lew Archer, Travis McGee, Uncle Abner - these names are real to mystery aficionados who know them well and have learned much about life from them. Other writers have given birth to characters who live only in one brief tale, making readers regret that they won't meet them again. Although the modern American mystery story has only recently gained respectability as the subject of academic study, the genre is an integral part of this country's literature. In fact, it stands at the very center of a markedly American literary offering, the short story. Edgar Allan Poe, the creator of the short story form, based the world's first mystery tale on the crime story, a style of fiction that originally appeared in the beginning of the nineteenth century. He enhanced the elements in these negligible stories with such genius that he lifted his own tales to the level of art. Poe's "The Murder in the Rue Morgue," first published in 1841, has been called by one critic "the single most important story in the history of the genre." Subsequent literary detectives may have occasionally felt daunted by following the mystery story's inimitable forefather; still, they have made their own distinctive contributions to this uniquely American literary form. Among them, the twenty-three writers in this anthology of American mystery masterpieces have written hundreds of memorable stories. Choosing the writers - not to mention the stories - from a national treasure of literary excellence was indeed difficult. The sheer number of outstanding American mystery stories offers endless hours of reading pleasure. To this day, superlative writers apply their varied skills to the genre first explored by Edgar Allan Poe. Readers new to this literary terrain will enjoy finding their way to some of mystery's hidden corners - as well as its landmarks. - The Editors" - from the Preliminary Page.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Reprint of the 1909 edition. Text in English. 551 pp. Light wear to the covers and the text block. Sir Henry Morton Stanley's biography takes us on a journey from his destitute beginnings spent at a poorhouse in Wales, to shores lined with slaves in Zanzibar, and onwards through the wilds of the 'dark continent' and beyond. He has been immortalised by his famous line 'Dr Livingstone, I presume' uttered on his discovery of the missing doctor, a line which overshadows his many other great achievements. This biography explores these other achievements in-depth. First published in 1844, it includes nine chapters in Stanley's own words- his account of his early and formative years written when he had begun to tire and his days of adventure were over. This is followed by his biography, compiled from his many journals, notes and letters and a number of lectures he prepared on his various explorations. Finally, there are his letters, to his acquaintances and friends, as well as a selection he wrote to his beloved wife. This book is more than just an insight into Stanley's life, it is also a study of human nature and of triumph in the face of the most difficult hardships, set against the backdrop of the wilderness, wildlife and extraordinary tapestry of cultures found in 19th century East Africa.
