Hardback. Zustand: Good. What rich pickings there are for an anthologist of love poems - haunting stories of enduring love or of love lost, not to mention wonderful confessions, often robustly comical, of pure lust. Dannie Abse, one of Britain's leading poets, has selected 100 poems - from the Song of Solomon, Catullus and Ovid, to recent masterworks by such poets as the Irish Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney, the British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion and acclaimed American poet Robert Lowell. Here's Christopher Marlowe sighing, 'Come live with me and be my love' while Michael Drayton announces, 'Since there's no help, let us kiss and part.' Aphra Behn talks about the dilemma of loving two men equally; Marina Tsvetayeva, the Russian poet, asks her ex-lover, 'How is your life with the other one?'; the twelfth-century Welsh poet, Hywel, boasts of how many women he has had and five centuries later the Earl of Rochester recalls in shocking detail how he seduced Sylvia.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good.  "A pure delight . . . Romantic, poignant, and spellbinding."-- REBECCA ROSS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divine Rivals "Fiercely feminist and deeply romantic, Psyche and Eros has the allure of an old fable and the epic quality of ancient myth, tinged with a provocative, modern wit. Passionate and deftly-told." -- AVA REID, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and The Wolf and the Woodsman Has the god of love finally met his match? Prepare to fall for this glorious reimagining of Greek mythology about a god struck by his own cursed arrow and the mortal woman who teaches him what love truly means Psyche, princess of Myce­nae, was born with a prophecy that she will one day conquer a great monster. Rejecting her royal duties, Psyche spends her youth mastering blade and bow, preparing for her destiny. Tales of her beauty and rebellious nature reach even the goddess Aphrodite, who decides to teach Psyche a lesson. Aphro­dite commands Eros, the god of desire, to deliver a cruel love curse. After eons watching humanity misuse his gifts, the last thing Eros wants is to become involved in the chaos of the mortal world. But when he accidentally pricks himself with the arrow intended for Psyche, Eros finds himself doomed to yearn for a woman who will be torn from him the moment their eyes meet. Thrown together by fate, headstrong Psyche and world-weary Eros will face challenges greater than they could have ever imagined. As the Trojan War begins and divine powers try to keep them apart, the pair must determine: could this be true love, or is that only a myth?

Paperback. Zustand: Good. From the author of the international bestseller What I Loved, a provocative collection of autobiographical and critical essays about writing and writers. Whether her subject is growing up in Minnesota, cross-dressing, or the novel, Hustvedt's nonfiction, like her fiction, defies easy categorization, elegantly combining intellect, emotion, wit, and passion. With a light touch and consummate clarity, she undresses the cultural prejudices that veil both literature and life and explores the multiple personalities that inevitably inhabit a writer's mind. Is it possible for a woman in the twentieth century to endorse the corset, and at the same time approach with authority what it is like to be a man? Hustvedt does. Writing with rigorous honesty about her own divided self, and how this has shaped her as a writer, she also approaches the works of others--Fitzgerald, Dickens, and Henry James--with revelatory insight, and a practitioner's understanding of their art. …

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this book you probably won't find what you expect. Our culture teaches us to love conditionally and, for many people, love is precisely the source of all their problems. This book shows us that love is the force of life, unlimited and unconditional. Therefore, many of the myths and love stories are false. The idea of conditional love pollutes our mind and turns us against others. Eros, the second book in the School of Mysteries, examines the conflict between true love and all the lies that we have been taught about love. This book is a master class on the art of romance and how to overcome the superstitions that prevent us from loving as we should.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. "It's a literary gift to see gender expansiveness depicted in an ancient myth with such grace and ease." --Electric Literature Fans of Circe and Black Sun, "prepare to be astonished" (R.O. Kwon, author of The Incendiaries) with this bold and subversive feminist and queer retelling of the Greek myth of Psyche and Eros. Young, headstrong Psyche has captured the eyes of every suitor in town with her tempestuous beauty, which has made her irresistible as a woman yet undesirable as a wife. Secretly, she longs for a life away from the expectations of men. When her father realizes that the future of his family and town will be forever cursed unless he appeases an enraged Aphrodite, he follows the orders of the Oracle, tying Psyche to a rock to be ravaged by a monstrous husband. And yet a monster never arrives. When Eros, nonbinary deity of desire, sees Psyche, she cannot fulfill her promise to her mother Aphrodite to destroy the mortal young woman. Instead, Eros devises a plan to sweep Psyche away to a palace, hidden from the prying eyes of the gods and outside world. There, Eros and Psyche fall in love. Each night, Eros visits Psyche under the cover of impenetrable darkness, where they both experience untold passion and love. But each morning, Eros flies away before light comes to break the spell of the palace that keeps them safe. Before long, Psyche's nights spent in pleasure turn to days filled with doubts, as she grapples with the cost of secrecy and the complexities of freedom and desire. Restless and spurred by her sisters to reveal Eros's true nature, she breaks her trust and forces a reckoning that tests them both--and transforms the very heavens in this "brilliant and luminous" (Madeline Miller, New York Times bestselling author) epic.…
