He has the touch (Jack Olsen, author of THE BRIDGE AT CHAPAQUIDICK and NIGHT OF THE GRIZLIES). Richard felt confident he was going to die. The fuzziness returned, and the voices dulled out to warbles again. Slowly he became much warmer, and the figures moved above him more rapidly. He watched them unitl a lightness took hold of him and lifted. Rather than be frightened, he enjoyed the rapid lifting sensation; above him Richard saw an intense blueness. He became incredibly warm and, knowing things would soon be over, closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling that now took hold of him, kindly, but irrevocably.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In 1954, in the cookhouse of a logging and sawmill settlement in northern New Hampshire, an anxious twelve-year-old boy mistakes the local constable's girlfriend for a bear.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER * A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK While reporting a story from India, New York journalist Patrick Wallingford inadvertently becomes his own headline when his left hand is eaten by a lion. In Boston, a renowned surgeon eagerly awaits the opportunity to perform the nation's first hand transplant. But what if the donor's widow demands visitation rights with the hand? In answering this unexpected question, John Irving has written a novel that is by turns brilliantly comic and emotionally moving, offering a penetrating look at the power of second chances and the will to change. Praise for The Fourth Hand "A rich and deeply moving tale . . . Vintage Irving: a story of two very disparate people, and the strange and unexpected ways we grow . . . Irving's novels are perceptive and precise reflections of the world around us."--The Washington Post Book World "A blend of sexual farce, journalistic satire, and tender love story . . . From what at first seems bizarre, Irving builds the best kind of love story: an improbable one. Wallingford gets more than a transplanted hand; he begins to find his soul."--USA Today "A riveting entertainment and certainly one of the funniest novels of the year. The authoritative control of Irving's storytelling has never been more impressive. . . . The delighted reader is powerless to look away."--Chicago Sun-Times "[A] thoroughly satisfying literary experience . . . Irving's most compassionate and redemptive [novel] to date . . . [His] mastery of characterization is unequaled in American novelists of the day."--St. Louis Post-Dispatch "A beautiful story about the redemptive power of love."--The Denver Post.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 'Surely, ' thought Rip, 'I have not slept here all night.' No, Rip Van Winkle may have slept his way into American literary immortality overnight, but only by dozing off for two decades. The Washington Irving classic has been keeping fascinated readers awake since its appearance in 1820; its graphic sketch of village bumpkins and Catskill grotesques has prompted numerous illustrated and filmed versions. The best of Rip's illustrators was undoubtedly Arthur Rackham, and here, along with the complete text of Rip Van Winkle, are 30 Rackham illustrations, rendered for coloring by Pat Steward. Children can make their first thrilling acquaintance with the story as they color; students and admirers of Irving and Rackham will enjoy the elfish portrayals of henpecked Rip, his shrewish Dame Van Winkle, the village idlers, and the mysterious crew of ninepin players thundering away every 20 years high up in the haunted Catskills.…
