Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of a salesman?s deferred American dream Ever since it was first performed in 1949, Death of a Salesman has been recognized as a milestone of the American theater. In the person of Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero as a man whose dreams are at once insupportably vast and dangerously insubstantial. He has given us a figure whose name has become a symbol for a kind of majestic grandiosity?and a play that compresses epic extremes of humor and anguish, promise and loss, between the four walls of an American living room."By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater." ?Brooks Atkinson, The New York Times"So simple, central, and terrible that the run of playwrights would neither care nor dare to attempt it." ?Time.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. When preschool teacher Leslie McCollom created the Preschool Gems Twitter feed, it was because precious jewels were slipping through her fingers every day. Jewels like, 'My mom lived in the nineties,' 'I'm feeling poisonous, baby kitty,' and 'OK, but I'm still a dragon.' Although she swore she'd remember these gems forever, in five minutes they would vanish, never to be heard again. So she became a covert anthropologist in the underground world of children, and has been gracing the Twitterverse with her findings ever since-such as: 'There's a wolf in my tummy and a porcupine in my bum.' 'I don't care about time-outs. I only care about my life.' 'I love David Bowie. I'm going to marry David Bowie.' Preschool Gems is a collection of the most bizarre, hilarious, jaw-dropping things overheard at Leslie's school. By turns sweet, sinister, and naively sincere, these treasures prove that kids are really just miniature people who are weirder and a lot less inhibited than their adult counterparts. 'Sometimes, the greatest jokes come from tellers who have no idea what they're saying is funny. Children . . . have very little filter and crazy imaginations-in a good way. Preschool Gems is an outlet for the awesome conversational tidbits a teacher hears on a regular basis.' The A.V. Club.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Set in the immigrant community of Winnipeg's North End, Under the Ribs of Death follows the progress of young Sandor Hunyadi as he struggles to cast off his Hungarian background and become a real Canadian. Embittered by poverty and social humiliation, Sandor rejects his father's impractical idealism and devotes himself single-mindedly to becoming a successful businessman. Equipped with a new name and a hardened heart, he is close to realizing his ambition when fortune's wheel takes an unexpected - and possibly redemptive - turn. Combining social realism and moral parable, Under the Ribs of Death is John Marlyn's ironic portrayal of the immigrant experience in the years leading up to the Great Depression. As a commentary on the problems of cultural assimilation, this novel is as relevant today as it was when first published in 1957.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. "The narrative unfolds like a high-stakes crime novel."--Kirkus Reviews In 1898, a group of schoolboys in Bridgeport, Connecticut discovered gruesome packages under a bridge holding the dismembered remains of a young woman. Finding that the dead woman had just undergone an abortion, prosecutors raced to establish her identity and fix blame for her death. Suspicion fell on Nancy Guilford, half of a married pair of "doctors" well known to police throughout New England. A fascinated public followed the suspect's flight from justice, as many rooted for the fugitive. The Disquieting Death of Emma Gill takes a close look not only at the Guilfords, but also at the cultural shifts and social compacts that allowed their practice to flourish while abortion was both illegal and unregulated. Focusing on the women at the heart of the story--both victim and perpetrator--Biederman reexamines this slice of history through a feminist lens and reminds us of the very real lives at stake when a woman's body and choices are controlled by others.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. NIGHT SONGS: Life in the Midst of Death is a compelling reflection of life, death, and spirituality. Throughout her book, author Phyllis Mayo tells the death stories of 38 people. Each is unique and shares an up-lifting thought, even in the midst of death. The stories begin with the death of the author's friend before they started first grade. The stories continue up until the month before the author's retirement. Some stories are profoundly sad, while others are humorous. Music lyrics are incorporated, describing the challenges, joys, and celebrations of life on earth and life eternal. The reflections in this book came as stories or songs in the night to Mayo. As she became familiar with The Book of Common Prayer, she was always struck by the words, In life we are in the midst of death. Those words, while true, seemed not to tell the whole story. She believes they should be amended to include, yet in death we are in the midst of life. This belief is born out in the stories, or songs, she tells here. As she has witnessed hundreds of deaths, there seem always to be indicators that life is still real, even for those who have died. Even though there is no proof of this, the author's experiences of witnessing dying, and death have brought her to believe, together with some Scriptural indications, that life continues in a way we cannot yet know. Thus, her night songs are really the story of life in the midst of death.…
