Hardback. Zustand: Good. Everything is going wrong in the town of Drocknock until the new wizard arrives. He is very young, and he is lonely, and very nervous too; but he knows just where to find the right spells to stop the chicken pox epidemic and bring back the twenty cows that had disappeared. The drought is the town's most important problem, however. The new wizard needs five of his own tears to bring rain, but he is so happy in Drocknock he cannnot cry! "Peel an onion," the old wizard advises. "But," he warns, "beware, beware.a wizard's tears are powerful. They can make strange magic.". The Wizard's Tears, first published in 1975, is moving and kind and funny in its intimate and modest way, yet strong and full of renewed life with stunning new illustrations from Keren Katz. Anne Sexton and Maxine Kumin had been friends for several years--having met at and carpooled to a Boston poetry workshop--when they began writing books together for younger readers. The creativity and versatility required for children's books offered the two poets the opportunity to experiment and play with language in new, unexpected ways, to connect world and words with humble, powerful, childlike imagery--"not unlike writing a poem where compression acts to intensify feelings," as Maxine reckoned. Katz, Keren (illustrator). …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It's safe to say that children in grade school can't illustrate images this impressive, but still, these Keren Katz renderings have a certain unrefined quality to them that's evocative of kids' drawings. This is, of course, a conscious design choice as Katz's style stands out immensely amidst a sea of computer-generated artistry. Her penchant for leaving things not perfectly colored, her exaggerated human proportions and the overall whimsy of the scenes she depicts are things that make her work endlessly interesting to examine. - TrendhunterThe Academic Hour charts the romance between Poethel, a disgraced architecture professor, and his student, Liana. Told in a series of surreal, vibrant vignettes, and set in a fantastic, logic-defying college of shifting rooms and secret performance spaces, The Academic Hour affirms how an intense, fledgling relationship can ignite the impulse for storytelling with unbridled, ferocious creative energy.Keren Katz is an Israeli-born cartoonist, writer, and illustrator.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. With new illustrations and a brilliant original introduction by New Yorker writer and author of My Life in Middlemarch Rebecca Mead, the Restless Classics edition of Middlemarch presents George Eliot?s masterpiece of Victorian fiction in an appealing new light.Long regarded as one of the greatest of the great English-language novels, Middlemarch by George Eliot has endured as the archetypal Victorian novel and an eternally resonant exploration of society and the individual. Centuries removed from the world of the landed gentry in 1830s England, the characters of Middlemarch remain as exquisitely drawn and deeply alive as any in literature: the pedantic, obsessive Reverend Casaubon, the idealistic Dr. Lydgate, and the spirited, striving Dorothea Brooke.A novel of marriage, Eliot?s ?study of Provincial Life? is also a strikingly fresh commentary on scientific and technological change, cultural and class divides, and the upheavals of a rural community experiencing global transformation. In her insightful introduction, Rebecca Mead, New Yorker writer and author of My Year in Middlemarch, explores Eliot?s ?meliorism??her belief that individuals can improve society in small, everyday ways. Dorothea?s successes and failures not only in love but as an ardent social reformer will resonate with all of us who look at the world today and ask, as Dorothea did in her time, ?What could she do, what ought she to do?? With bold illustrations by artist Keren Katz, the Restless Classics edition of Middlemarch is a thoroughly modern edition of one of the most important novels ever written. Praise for Middlemarch?Middlemarch is so careful to correct any habit to side with one person rather than another that the narrator even corrects herself.? ?John Mullan, author of What Matters in Jane Austen??A novel without weaknesses, it renews itself for every generation.? ?Martin Amis, author of Inside Story?Middlemarch, the magnificent book which with all its imperfections, is one of the few English novels written for grown-up people.? ?Virginia Woolf?Middlemarch shows us the contours and indeed the very language of the characters? inner lives.??Michael Gorra, author of Portrait of a Novel: Henry James and the Making of an American Masterpiece.
