The Secret Agent: A Simple Tale (Modern Library Classics)

3 reviews
Joseph Conrad

Modern Library, 2004

Great early modernist work in a fine edition
First a comment about this remarkable Modern Library Edition - it has an absurd introduction by Robert Kaplan, which is deliciously skwered in an Afterword by the volume's editor, Peter Mallios. Kaplan reads Conrad's book with all the sophistication one brings to a Tom Clancy novel, claiming to draw insight into how the modern state has to defend itself. In reality, Conrad clearly was condemning ...

Excellent book depiciting timeless decorating options
This is one of the most beautiful books I own. This book is filled with gorgeous pictures of rooms that invite you to linger in order to examine every detail. The homes are elegant and classic but they are also very livable. The book provides examples of ways to use color and texture in new ways to highlight classic furnishings and architecture. Even though I have seen several of the images from ...

Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn (Greenwich House Classics Library)

Random House Value Publishing, 1988

Ole Huck
You'll notice pretty quickly when you pick this up that Huck doesn't spell too good and his grammar isn't so hot either. But if you look a little more closely, you find that he sure knows how to use the semi-colon, and his sentence structure is picture perfect. Mr. Twain may have decided that he was going to have some fun with his charming narrator, but he sure wasn't going to sacrifice good ...

James C. Christensen

The Greenwich Workshop Press, 1997

Rhymes & Reasons : An Annotated Collection of Mother Goose R
This was a very well produced book; it is a large book containing beautiful color pictures and a fold out poster. The art is based around a three-paneled painting containing 73 famous and not so famous rhymes. They outright tell you 72 of them and challenge you to guess the last one (the rhyme itself, a history of the rhyme, and often a highlight on where to find the rhyme in the print). It ...

Lady Chatterleys Lover (Greenwich House Classics Library)

D.H. Lawrence

Random House Value Publishing, 1986

Masterpiece has Social Injustice Underplay Sexual Theme [48]
D.H. Lawrence daringly wrote about sexual mores in this novel, to an extent that his socioeconomic theme may have been lost by many of the readers. Constance Chatterly - affectionately depicted as Connie or Lady Chatterly - is the highlight and nightmare to her husband, Lord Chatterly. After a whirlwind marriage and honeymoon, the lord returns to Word War I's catastrophe and is "shipped home ...

War And Peace (Greenwich House Classics Library)

Leo Tolstoy

Greenwich House, 1988

My first thoughts after completion
I held the book in my hands and felt its weight. It looked quite big; not as big as when I first saw it but still big - and had I actually gone through all those pages and all those letters? Apparently. What now? What was this feeling spreading in me? was it emptiness? I felt sad. For the first time after completing a book there actually was a possibility that I would never read a better ...

Letty Fox: Her Luck (New York Review Books Classics)

1 review
Christina Stead

NYRB Classics, 2001

A master modern storyteller (in search of a good editor...)
Many rate Christina Stead among the finest modern writers of the century, and there's almost no denying her skill with shaping a beautiful sentence. Unfortunately, Stead has trouble sometimes shaping a good novel--she tends to go and on--, and this deficiency is largely at work in what many consider her second-best work (after THE MAN WHO LOVED CHILDREN), LETTY FOX: HER LUCK. Letty is a young ...
