T. S. Eliot

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991

Truly, one of the giants
When you think of the best poets ever, T.S. Eliot is one of those that comes to mind. His work is well crafted, intelligent, beautifully written, and has a flow to it that few poets can match. And this is a fine collection for the Eliot lover or for the reader unfamiliar with Eliot. It's divided into several sections. The first section is his Prufrock section, poems from 1917, which contains ...

The Sacred and The Profane: The Nature of Religion

Mircea Eliade

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1987

A brilliant introduction to the study of religion
I decided to read this book for a religion-course I'm taking, and I must say I'm happy I did! Mircea Eliade was a Rumanian historian of religions, philosopher and author, in addition to being a vaguely religious man himself. This book was written to serve as an introduction to the study of religion for new students and the interested layman, and it does so excellently. Eliade was interestingly ...

Safier

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983

Dancing through the ages...
As the title of the book suggests, flipping over the cover of the book is like the beginning of an adventure. It is an adventure into the world of Beowulf, Chaucer, Donne, Shakespeare, Milton, Blake, Keats, Byron, Shelley... and many, many others who have share their intelligence through their fabulous work. "My heart leeps up when I behold" this beautiful book including the greatest works ...

John E. Warriner

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1988

Don't leave home without it!
This book was issued to me in my senior year in high school in 1976. I have kept it by my side, has helped me through my college years and then with my children, and now that I have decided to go back to school and am studying translation, I have taken it out of the bookshelf once again because the books we were assigned do not even come close to the perfection (in my idea) of this book. It has ...

The Robber Bridegroom

9 reviews
Eudora Welty

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978

Astonishing
This lovely novella introduced Eudora Welty to the world. Now it can introduce you to Eudora Welty. A raucous, genre-bending mixture of historical fiction, romance novel, and tall tale -- all shot through with the compassion and psychological subtlety for which Welty would become famous -- _The Robber Bridegroom_ still holds a place of honor in Southern literature.

Italo Calvino

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1976

One of the finest works of post-modernist fiction.
Calvino is one of the masters of post-modernism, and his tales fiction highlight one of the most fundamental concerns of the movement: challenging notions of a "reality". t zero reigns as Calvino's finest, most compelling work

Heroic Mexico: The Violent Emergence of a Modern Nation

William Weber Johnson

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1984

Superb review. Captivating portrayal of the participants.
This book is completely engrossing. It reads like good fiction (but is entirely factual), with a well organized "story" line and and excellent portrayals of the of the main individuals involved in this inherently confusing struggle. I have read the book twice, not because it is obtuse (it is relatively easy to follow), but because it is so enjoyable to read. I think that this is a must for anyone ...

William Hjortsberg

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1978

I am proud to own this book!
In mystery there are lot of great writers. I horror, nowadays, you name it. In expetional cult and urban details, it has become a trend. Mr.William has it all in on in lifetime book, amd with twist in the tale that makes it an inordinary book. Stephen King, the master said, I never really read anything like it. Well, neither have I? Angel is a detectecitve with an awkward edge, asked by ...

Billy Baldwin

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1974

Great Memories
This is a review of the 1974 edition of BILLY BALDWIN REMEMBERS which was dedicated to his love Woodson Taulbee. More anecdotal than his previous book BILLY BALDWIN DECORATES, it provides influential background information that formed his distinctive sense of style and gives the philosophy behind his designs. Also, some clients are profiled; the identity of some others is kept confidential, ...

Laurence Perrine

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983

ENGL 1102
I purchased this book for my ENGL1102 class, where we were using a much higher edition, however so far all the stories that we have went over have been in this much older edition, so why not save a few bucks?

Great Political Thinkers: Plato to the Present

William Ebenstein, Alan O. Ebenstein

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991

Great Political Thinkers: From Plato to Present
I purchased this book in 1975. It is the remaining text from my undergraduate days that I keep on my book shelf... a tremndous resource. I actually took the class of the same title at UC Santa Barbara from Dr. Ebenstein himself. Back then, he was a giant in the political science field (still is) and we stood in awe of him. At the same time, he was the only professor I had there who would ...

In Search of the Miraculous: Fragments of an Unknown Teaching (Harvest Book)

P. D. Ouspensky

Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1965

Great Introduction to the Esoteric Work
P.D. Ouspensky's "In Search of the Miraculous" is one of the most profound and one of most memorable books that I have ever read, and it is most certainly the must-read. Not only that, it also forces one to question one's reality, self-identity, actions, and surroundings. With each time that I read this book, I began to notice the number of little false "i's" that popped up in my being. Every ...
