Josef Weinberger Plays

Hilarious!
This is one of the most clever, zany, and madcap things ever written for the stage. It's not only fun to watch, it's just as enjoyable to read. There are guaranteed laugh-out-loud moments, for both fans of the bard and those who struggled to understand him in high school English classes. If you're not a fan of Shakespeare, there are definitely jokes and references you will miss, but there's ...

Four Cardinal Virtues

12 reviews
Josef Pieper

University of Notre Dame Press, 1990

Brilliant: abounding in wisdom,
Of the three Josef Pieper books I have read (namely i) the anthology and ii) Faith, Hope and Charity and this present one), this has been the best for me. Pieper excels in crystalline clarity of thought; he exudes the wisdom of St Thomas. The brilliance of this book lies in Pieper's ability to see the depth of meaning in things, how we human being are configured towards right order and that when ...

Echoes from Auschwitz: Dr. Mengele's Twins: The Story of Eva & Miriam Mozes

Eva Mozes Kor, Mary Wright

C a N D L E S, 1995

amazing woman
I met Eva when she came to my university to speak about Forigveness. I also had the amazing opportunity to interview her for the school newspaper. It's incredible to me how, after everything that she's been through, she is able to speak with such love and complete forgiveness in her heart. I think that she truly did set herself free when she forgave the nazis, and especially when she forgave ...

Wow! Well worth owning and reading and rereading! Every Christian should read this book.

Arsenic and Old Lace

12 reviews
Joseph Kesselring

Josef Weinberger Plays, 2002

Witty, funny and a tad disturbing
It was hard to read this without thinking of the wonderful movie. In a nutshell it is a play about a family where mental illness (insanity) is rampant. One character thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt and is building the Panama canal in the cellar. Two characters think they are performing a charity by poisoning lonely elderly men which the Teddy Roosevelt character perceives to be victims of yellow ...

Josef Koudelka

Phaidon Press, 1999

homage to JK
JK is a street photographer who transcends the boundaries. Eye of the artist and soul of the novelist. This book represents the closest thing to recent work. Unfortunately he has withdrawn his photographs from circulation. He is concentrating on photographing and not doing any printing. The large format is perfect for these panoramic images. A statue of Lenin on a barge is my favorite pic. ...

Joe Rosenblum, David Kohn

Praeger Trade, 2000

Remarkable Man, Amazing Story
Defy The Darkness is the story of the author's (Joe Rosenblum) life before, during, and after World War II. After the Germans invaded Poland, he was, due to his Aryan looks, able to survive by working on the farm of a Polish family who were very kind to him. As a result, he was able to bring food to his own family which helped to prolong their lives. Rosenblum was a very remarkable man. He ...

Ernst Hans Josef Gombrich

Prentice Hall College Div, 1989

This is not merely an story of art, but history of architecture
This book does not only tell the history of art, at the same time, the history of architecture, since the two are so much interrelated. Therefore, as an architecture student, I recommend you guys to read this book to gain the knowledge of how art and architecture evolve throughout history.

Phaidon Press, 2009

Outstanding Description of the Methods of A Superlative Art Teacher
Josef Albers: To Open Eyes by Frederick A. Horowitz and Brenda Danilowitz, is a beautiful, magnificent book about this internationally eminent artist, teacher of art, and theorist of design and color. It simply could not be better. Brenda Danilowitz, Chief Curator of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, Connecticut, writes about the biography of Albers, 64 pages, while Frederick A. ...

Faith, Hope, Love

Josef Pieper

Ignatius Press, 1997

You Really Need Both Books
I first came into contact with this work because it was a required text for my seminary class on ethics. Pieper was a first rate German philosopher and expert on the works of St. Thomas Aquinas. If you study this book, Faith, Hope, Love (the three theological virtues), along with his other book, The Four Cardinal Virtues (fortitude, temperance, justice, prudence), you will have a wonderful ...

Johannes Brahms: Life and Letters

6 reviews
Johannes Brahms

Oxford University Press, USA, 1998

Wonderful translation, superb commentary
The virtues of this book are several: about 800 previously untranslated letters of Brahms, masterfully translated and carefully and judiciously annotated, based on research entirely from source materials which, among other things, give the lie to the unsavory myths of Brahms childhood, proving beyond doubt that he came from a hard-working, well-meaning family who lived in a good neighborhood, ...

Abuse of Language Abuse of Power

5 reviews
Josef Pieper

Ignatius Press, 1992

Words really do have meaning!
In this slender, but powerful work, the great (and often overlooked) Thomistic scholar Josef Pieper sends out a call to arms against "every partisan simplification, every ideological agitation, every blind emotionality . . . [and] well-turned yet empty slogans . . ." He pulls no punches in taking on those modern (and ancient) sophists who rape and pillage language in order to obtain political ...

A Dream of Undying Fame: How Freud Betrayed His Mentor and Invented Psychoanalysis

5 reviews
Louis Breger

Basic Books, 2009

Pulling the mask on the Master
Dr. Breger's fine new book 'A Dream of Undying Fame: Freud's Betrayal of his Mentor and Discovery of Psychoanalysis' is a wonderful compliment to his earlier definitive biography on Freud, 'Darkness in the Midst of Vision'. Within a brief 100 plus pages, amazingly, and with a deliciously engaging and suspenseful style, Dr. Breger provides us with a step-by-step prelude to some of the most ...

The silence of St. Thomas;: Three essays (A Logos book)

5 reviews
Josef Pieper

H. Regnery, 1965

Illuminating
The unifying theme of the three essays composing this book is the paradox that the intelligibilty of things and their incomprehensibility both derive from their being creatures, that is, from their possessing natures that are communications of the ideas in the mind of God. Things can be known only because they are created, but at the same time, things are unfathomable because they are created: ...

Karel Capek

Claridge Press Ltd., 2003

Eternal spring....
I don't know much about Czech literature, so I don't know if the Prague Spring had anything to do with the writing of Karel Capek, but I would not be surprised to discover a connection. "Leaves wither because spring is already beginning, because new buds are being made, as tiny percussion caps out of which the spring will crack....if we could only see that secret swarming of the future within us, ...

The Memorial Book For The Jewish Community Of Yurburg, Lithuania

5 reviews

Assistance to Lithuanian Jews, 2003

A Remarkable Story
This is a wonderful book. Imagine my surprise to find a book on the Internet of the memories of inhabitants of Jurbarkas, my father's childhood town in Lithuania! The book was mostly in Hebrew, but a partial translation in English was available on the Internet for anyone to read. Over the last decade, Joel Alpert arranged for the book's complete English translation and placed it on the Internet. ...

Aperture, 2007

Excellent overview of Koudelka's opus
Excellent, well balanced overview of Kuoudelka's work from his earliest days, experimenting with expressive, graphical effects and theater photography, through journalism, all the way to his latest achievements in panoramic, abstract landscapes. This book can serve as an introduction to this outstanding artist and motivation for exploring his opus in more detail. The integrity of Koudelka's ...

Mind Kill

5 reviews
Richard La Plante

TimeWarner, 1998

A great writer with a great story
This is a rare jewel that I have found so far in summer98. The structure of this book is tight, the tension of the plot so unbearable that once you start, it'd never let you put down until the last page is flipped over. The scenario, well, quite convincing and believable. All the characters are also well crafted. A born writer with deep insight of human nature. This novel should be in the ...

The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940

5 reviews
John Bishop

Josef Weinberger Plays, 1989

Agatha Christie meets Noises Off
With a murder in the first two pages and many more to come, one would expect the MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS of 1940 by John Bishop's play to be a typical murder-mystery. But, Bishop has chosen place his murderer deep within the world of actors, directors and theatre producers. Which can only mean one thing...unstoppable egos and unrelenting laughs...and a mystery that's not half-bad, either!
