hardcover. "Tudo, no mundo, existe para acabar em um livro." - Stéphane Mallarmé "De onde tiro tanto tempo para não ler tanta coisa?" - Karl Kraus "Uma pessoa que quer escrever coisas boas precisa ler coisas ótimas." - Ursula K. Le Guin Um livro-agenda pensado para amantes da literatura. Aqueles que fazem de tudo para encaixar uma leitura entre um compromisso e outro. Aforismos - Escritores e seu ofício é um planner (ou seja, uma agenda permanente, não datada), mas é também um livro. Enquanto o leitor folheia as páginas dedicadas à organização de suas tarefas e compromissos, ao longo de 54 semanas, acompanha uma seleção de 50 aforismos em que escritores e escritoras refletem sobre o seu ofício: ler, escrever, viver de literatura. De uma citação bíblica (sobre fazer livros!) a observações afiadas, o volume reúne frases de 50 escritores de séculos, latitudes e continentes diferentes. De grandes nomes da literatura brasileira, como Machado de Assis e Graciliano Ramos, a nomes essenciais da escrita contemporânea, como Jesmyn Ward e Bernardine Evaristo, sem deixar de lado clássicos como Jane Austen ou Gustave Flaubert. O livro-agenda traz páginas iniciais para planejamento mensal e, em seguida, cada página dupla é dedicada a uma semana. Ao final do volume, há páginas destinadas a um registro das leituras do ano, além, claro, de espaço para montar a lista dos livros que estão na fila para leitura. Encadernado em capa dura, com lombo redondo (para facilitar a abertura) e um fitilho em gorgurão servindo como marca-página, o volume traz, na capa, a referência a uma técnica milenar de decoração de livros, a marmorização. O planner está disponível em quatro modelos, com quatro capas variadas.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Black, cloth-covered hardback measuring 11 1/4 in. x 8 3/4 in. x1 1/2 in. Roughly over 300 pp. - most likely more. Text consists of xerographic (?) historical articles, memoirs, recollections of citizens of towns in Union County, Oregon, local lore, genealogical histories, founding family's tales and anecdotes, etc. Sample article titles include: "The Chinese in Union County", by Frank Jasper, February 1960, Family Histories, Indian Wars, Early Bands in Union County, The Village Blacksmith; The Crossroads at Lochow Lochow, etc. etc. Two-inch felt pen mark to front and rear endpapers. This comprehensive gathering of recollections would seem to be THE place to begin when one wishes to gain an overview of the historical underpinnings and the cultural evolution of interconnected pioneer-communities, across four or more generations, or seek out the roots of one's pioneer roots We speculate, due to the numerous actual photograph (copies) tipped into this book, that it might have been the master, either for a never-published book, or for a book which had only a very limited number of copies. An extraordinary record, of The American West, Oregon, and individual retellilngs, of the individuals and families who forged the communities which today yet thrive. ".Possibly one of McComas's most interesting adventures was the manufacturing and sale of his 'Whirlwind Kidney and Rheumatic Remedy", which we will briefly describe: McComas had befriended Chief Whirlwind of the Umatilla Indians by helping him avoid having his long hair cut. Whirlwind was very proud of his waist length hair. In turn Whirlwind has come to McComas's aid in a land deal. The who men were close friends. Whirlwind gave McComas the formula for an Indian Medicine made from native Bluemountain plants. McComas manufactured the medicine and put it on the market with a flashy advertising campaign. It was listed by wholesale drug firms of the West coast and continued to sell while the production continued.".
