paperback. Zustand: Near Fine. PAPERBACK, cover price $13.00, near fine, attractive copy. BUT with a previous owner's Christmas gift inscription on front endpaper. LAMPEDUSA, GIUSEPPE DI. The Leopard. Translated from the Italian by Archibald Colquhoun. New York, N.Y: Pantheon, 1991, later printing, 319pp., . The novel is a chronicle of fifty years of the Risorgimento, the Italian Unification's effect on Sicily, dating from Garibaldi's landing on the island in 1860 to the final decline of a once-opulent Sicilian family. The book represents a variation on the historical novel, in that it permits the present to intrude into the past--the omniscient narrator hints at what will happen after the story is finished. The protagonist is Don Fabrizio Corbera, Prince of Salina. He accepts that his nephew, Tancredi, joins the rebels, but sees the aristocracy displaced by the middle class. After the prince's deathbed scene, in which he sums up the small number of joyful hours as against his seventy years of boredom, the view deepens into psychological narrative. However, the story does not end in his death, but the final chapter, set in 1910, shows the decline of the family. 9780679731214 ISBN 0679731210 10.60.

LAURENS, CAMILLE. La petite danseuse de quatorze ans - MARKED COPY. Paris: Stock, 2017, 173pp., . "Elle est célèbre dans le monde entier mais combien connaissent son nom ? On peut admirer sa silhouette à Washington, Paris, Londres, New York, Dresde ouCopenhague, mais où est sa tombe ? On ne sait que son âge, quatorze ans, et le travail qu'elle faisait, car c'était déjà un travail, à cet âge où nos enfants vont à l'école. Dans les années 1880, elle dansait comme petit rat à l'Opéra de Paris,et ce qui fait souvent rêver nos petites filles n'était pas un rêve pour elle, pas l'âge heureux de notre jeunesse. Elle a été renvoyée après quelques années de labeur, le directeur en a eu assez de ses absences à répétition. C'est qu'elle avait un autre métier, et même deux, parce que les quelques sous gagnés à l'Opéra ne suffisaient pas à la nourrir, elle ni sa famille. Elle était modèle, elle posait pour des peintres ou des sculpteurs. Parmi eux il y avait Edgar Degas." - Camille Laurens. ISBN 9782234069282.

New York: Nextbook : Schocken, 2006, stated First Edition, and 1st printing number line ending with 1, xiii, 347pp., . Series: Jewish encounters "Emma Lazarus's most famous poem gave a voice to the Statue of Liberty, but her remarkable life has remained a mystery until now. She was a woman so far ahead of her time that we are still scrambling to catch up with her-a feminist, a Zionist, and an internationally famous Jewish American writer before thse categories even existed. Drawing upon a cache of personal letters undiscovered until the 1980, Esther Schor brings this vital woman to life in all her complexity. Born into a wealthy Sephardic family in 1849, Lazarus published her first volume of verse at seventeen and gained entree into New York's elite literary circles. Although she once referred to her family as "outlaw" Jews, she felt a deep attachment to Jewish history and peoplehood. Her compassion for the downtrodden Jews of Eastern Europe-refugees whose lives had little in common with her own-helped redefine the meaning of America itself. In this groundbreaking biography, Schor argues persuasively for Lazarus's place in history as a poet, an activist, and a prophet of the world we all inhabit today-a world that she helped to invent.". 9780805242164 ISBN 0805242163.

"Du bist vor zwei Monaten abgereist" "So beginnt das liebevolle Brief-Tagebuch von Großmutter Olga an ihre Enkelin, die aus der Enge der Familienzwänge nach Amerika geflohen ist. Schöne und schmerzliche Erinnerungen verewigt dieses mit der Weisheit des Alters geschriebene Vermächtnis. Vor allem aber ist es ein im Angesicht des Todes ausgesprochenes Geständnis all der tiefen Liebe zur Enkelin. Vieles ist schiefgelaufen in der Familie und hat die beiden auseinandergebracht: Frühwaise die Enkelin, gefangen in ihrer Vernunftehe und späteren Einsamkeit die Großmutter. Und dennoch findet sich in diesem Weisheitsbuch, das so zart empfunden ist wie Der kleine Prinz, inneres Glück -im eigenen Herzen, wenn man nur den Mut hat, es nicht als bloßen Leistungsmotor zu betrachten. 9783257060584 ISBN 3257060580.
