Paperback. Zustand: Good. Philosopher, theologian, critic, sociologist, political activist -- Simone Weil was among the foremost thinkers of our time. Best known in this country for her theological writing, Weil wrote on a great variety of subjects ranging from classical philosophy and poetry, to modern labor, to the language of political discourse. The present anthology offers a generous collection of her work, including essays never before translated into English and many that have long been out of print. It amply confirms Elizabeth Hardwick's words that Simone Weil was "one of the most brilliant and original minds of twentieth-century France" and "a woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning." A longtime Weil scholar, Sian Miles has selected essays representative of the wide sweep of Weil's work and provides a superb introduction that places Weil's work in context of her life and times.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Set in the Paris of society women, prostitutes and small-minded bourgeousie, and the isolated villages of rural Normandy that de Maupassant knew as a child, the thirty-three tales in this volume are among the most darkly humorous and brilliant short stories in nineteenth-century literature. They focus on the relationships between men and women, as in the poignant fantasy of 'A Parisian Affair', between brothers and sisters, and between masters and servants. Through these relationships, Maupassant explores the dualistic nature of the human character and his stories reveal both nobility, civility and generosity, and, in stories such as 'At Sea' and 'Boule de Suif', vanity, greed and hypocrisy. Maupassant's stories repeatedly lay humanity bare with deft wit and devastating honesty.…

Zustand: Very Good. : Sumérgete en el París de la alta sociedad, con sus mujeres elegantes, prostitutas y burgueses de mente estrecha, así como en los pueblos aislados de la Normandía rural que Guy de Maupassant conoció en su infancia. Los treinta y tres cuentos de este volumen se encuentran entre los más brillantes y oscuramente humorísticos de la literatura francesa. Se centran en las relaciones entre hombres y mujeres, como en la conmovedora fantasía de 'Un asunto parisino', entre hermanos y hermanas, y entre amos y sirvientes. A través de estas relaciones, Maupassant explora la naturaleza dualista del carácter humano y sus historias revelan tanto la nobleza, la civilidad y la generosidad, como la vanidad, la codicia y la hipocresía, como en 'A la deriva' y 'Bola de sebo'. Las historias de Maupassant exponen repetidamente a la humanidad con ingenio y devastadora honestidad.
