Synopsis: Author Henry James' Washington Square follows the coming-of-age of its plain-faced, kindhearted heroine, Catherine Sloper. Much to her father's vexation, a handsome opportunist named Morris Townsend woos the long-suffering heiress, intent on claiming her fortune. When Catherine stubbornly refuses to call off her engagement, Dr. Sloper forces Catherine to choose between her inheritance and the only man she will ever truly love. Cynthia Ozick, in her Introduction to what she calls Henry James' s "most American fiction", writes that every line, every paragraph, every chapter [of Washington Square] is a fleet-footed light brigade, an engine of irony. Precise and understated, this charming novel endures as a matchless study of New York in the mid-nineteenth century. Gabrielle Bordwin (Cover Design) (illustrator).…

Includes List of Other Books by President Jimmy Carter; Author Dedication; Preface; Introduction; Acknowledgments and Index. First paperback edition. "This is a book about the values and experiences that have shaped my life, and how the religious beliefs I inherited have been transformed into a living faith. I have waited a long time to write these words, because religion is a private matter -- and my own faith has been the subject of much public speculation. Yet I think that my close relationship with God is something I share with many Americans. When I return to my beginnings, I see a number of times when what I believed I wanted most was challenged by a more difficult path. When I had the courage to choose that path, even in the midst of despair and uncertainty, I was given a glimpse of deeper truths that continue to sustain me." -- Jimmy Carter, from the rear outer cover.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition beige boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Salman Rushdie; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quotes; Bibliography; Acknowledgments and About the Author. "This brilliant, fascinating, generous novel swarms with gorgeous young women both historical and imagined, beautiful queens and irresistible enchantresses.[a] sumptuous, impetuous mixture of history with fable. But in the end, of course, it is the hand of the master artist, past all explanation, that gives this book its glamour and power, its humour and shock, its verve, its glory. It is a wonderful tale, full of follies and enchantments. East meets West with a clash of cymbals and a burst of fireworks. We English-speakers have our own Ariosto now, our Tasso, stolen out of India. Aren't we the lucky ones?" - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Guardian (London) "A tall, yellow-haired, young European traveler calling himself "Mogor dell'Amore," the Mughal of Love, arrives at the court of the Emperor Akbar, lord of the great Mughal empire, with a tale to tell that begins to obsess the imperial capital, a tale about a mysterious woman, a great beauty believed to possess powers of enchantment and sorcery, and her impossible journey to the far-off city of Florence. The Enchantress of Florence is the story of a woman attempting to command her own destiny in a man's world. It is the story of two cities, unknown to each other, at the height of their powers - the hedonistic Mughal capital, in which the brilliant Akba the Great wrestles daily with questions of belief, desire, and the treachery of his sons, and the equally sensual city of Florence during the High Renaissance, where Niccolo Machiavelli takes a starring role as he learns, the hard way, about the true brutality of power. Vivid, gripping, irreverent, bawdy, profoundly moving, and completely absorbing, The Enchantress of Florence is a dazzling book full of wonders by one of the world's most important living writers." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition black boards, red spine and gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Robert D. Kaplan; Author Dedication; Preliminary Page Quote by Hart Crane, "To Brooklyn Bridge" 1930; Invocation; Epilogue; Acknowledgments; Some Works Relevant to the Text; Notes; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with preliminary page map and black-and-white photograph. "At a time when there is little consensus about who we are and what we should be doing with our power overseas, a return to the elemental truths of the American landscape is urgently needed. From Robert D. Kaplan, one of the world's most influential geopolitical thinkers and the bestselling author of The Revenge of Geography and Balkan Ghosts, comes an incisive portrait of the continent from the thinly soiled Great Plains to the river system of the Midwest. Earning the Rockies shows how geography will always determine America's role in the world. As a boy, Robert D. Kaplan listened to his truck-driver father tell evocative stories about traveling across America in his youth, travels in which he learned to understand the country literally from the ground up. There was a specific phrase from Kaplan's childhood that captured this perspective: A westward traveler must "earn the Rockies" by driving - not flying - across the flat Midwest and Great Plains. In Earning the Rockies, Kaplan undertakes his own cross-country journey to recapture an appreciation of American geography often lost in the jet age. Traveling west, in the same direction as the pioneers, Kaplan traverses a rich and varied landscape that remains the primary source of American power. Along the way, he witnesses both prosperity and decline - increasingly cosmopolitan cities that thrive on globalization, impoverished towns denuded by the loss of manufacturing - and paints a bracingly clear picture of America today. The history of westward expansion is examined here in a new light - as a story not just of genocide and individualism, but also of communalism and a respect for the limits of a water-starved terrain, a frontier experience that bent our national character toward pragmatism. Kaplan shows how the great midcentury works of geography and geopolitics by Bernard DeVoto, Walter Prescott Webb, and Wallace Stegner are more relevant today than ever before. Concluding his journey at Naval Base San Diego, Kaplan looks out across the Pacific Ocean to the next frontier: China, India, and the emerging nations of Asia. And in the final chapter, he provides a gripping description of an anarchic world and explains why America's foreign policy response ought to be rooted in its own geographical situation. In this short, intense meditation on the American landscape, Robert D. Kaplan reminds us of an overlooked source of American strength: the fact that we are a nation, empire, and continent all at once. Earning the Rockies is a reminder of how a nation's geography still foreshadows its future, and how we must reexamine our own landscape in order to confront the challenges that lie before us." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition dark silver gray cloth boards with gold spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Preliminary Page Quote by Thomas Jefferson; Preface; Chronology; Notes; Acknowledgments and About the Editor. "Seamlessly weaving Jefferson's wisdom and lively moral imagination into discrete and timeless meditations, this far from common 'commonplace book' brings Jefferson's thoughts alive again for a new generation of Americans." - Forrest Church, author of The American Creed and editor of The Jefferson Bible. "Were Thomas Jefferson alive to read this book, he would recognize every sentence, every elegant turn of phrase, every lofty, beautifully expressed idea. Indeed, every word in the book is his. In an astonishing feat of editing, Eric S. Petersen has culled the entirety of Thomas Jefferson's published works to fashion thirty-four original essays on themes ranging from patriotism and liberty to hope, humility, and gratitude. The result is a lucid, inspiring distillation of the wisdom of one of America's greatest political thinkers. From his personal motto - "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God" - to his resounding discourse on "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' in the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson defined the essential truth of the American spirit. In the essays that Petersen has crafted from letters, speeches, and public documents, Jefferson's unique moral philosophy and vision shine through. Among the hundreds of magnificent thoughts gathered in this volume, here are jefferson's pronouncements on Gratitude: "I have but one system of ethics for men and for nations - to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements and under all circumstances, to be open and generous." Religion: "A concern purely between our God and our consciences." America's National Character: "It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate; to surmount every difficulty with resolution and contrivance." Public Debt: "We shall all consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts, and morally bound to pay them ourselves." War: " I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind." In stately measured cadences, these thirty-four essays provide timeless guidance on leading a spiritually fulfilling life. Light and Liberty is a triumphant work of supreme eloquence, as uplifting today as when Jefferson first set these immortal sentences on paper." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. "An extraordinary distillation of the thought and wisdom of Thomas Jefferson." - Merrill D. Peterson, professor emeritus of history, University of Virginia, author of The Jefferson Image in the American Mind. Bordwin, Gabrielle (jacket design) (illustrator). …
