While his poems often begin in the everyday and domestic, fans know that they might end anywhere - and that they will lift their heads from the book to a world startlingly different from the one they had left moments before. Billy Collins' previous collection, Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes, was an extraordinary success, introducing thousands of readers to his exhilarating poetry for the first time. By turns wildly funny and intensely moving, Nine Horses has won Billy Collins even more admirers. Product details Format Paperback | 144 pages Dimensions ...

When one old man reaches out to another old man for help locating a missing child, it leads to the assemblage of three senior citizens who have almost nothing in common except the badges they carried long ago as Sacramento police detectives. Their leader is Beau Wolfer, an impoverished, over-sexed fitness freak battling chronic depression. He recruits his long-time partner "Finn" Fincannon, who is confined to an assisted living sanitarium with Alzheimer's, and Matsuo Shimada, an inveterate golfer -- listless, bored, and forgetful. It's an unlikely team to solve a crime in today's world. Of course, a missing person case does not necessarily involve a crime.

How can we realize and actualize love, reason, and meaningful, productive work? Fromm here offers an Art of Well-Being, a way of living based on authentic self-awareness that comes only through honest self-analysis. He warns of the pitfalls of our attaining enlightenment without effort, or believing that life can be livedwithout pain. The tantalizing 'spiritual smorgasbord' offered by our consumer-oriented world, Fromm maintains, only feeds our illusions of 'easy awareness'. Confronting the psycho-gurus who preach these shortcuts to enlightenment, Fromm offers another way to self-awareness through meditation. If the Art of Being - the art of functioning as a whole person - can be considered the supreme goal of life, a breakthrough occurs when we move from narcissistic selfishness and egotism - from having - to psychological and spiritual happiness - being. The Art of Being is certain to be one of the most important and sought-after works in the Fromm canon for year...

One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, A Doll's House richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama. In the central character of Nora, Ibsen epitomized the human struggle against the humiliating constraints of social conformity. Nora's ultimate rejection of a smothering marriage and life in a doll's house shocked theatergoers of the late 1800s and opened new horizons for playwrights and their audiences. But daring social themes are only one aspect of Ibsen's power as a dramatist. A Doll's House shows as well his gifts for creating realistic dialogue, a suspenseful flow of events and, above all, psychologically penetrating characterizations that make the struggles of his dramatic personages utterly convincing. Here is a deeply absorbing play as readable as it is eminently playable, reprinted from an authoritative translation. Product details ...

Mit prickelnder Erotik und einer gehörigen Portion Humor führt G. A. Aiken erneut in die Welt der fürchterlichen, barbarischen und unglaublich feurigen Dragons: Aidan der Göttliche ist, nun ja, göttlich. Er ist stolz auf seinen Beinamen, der ihm von der Drachenkönigin höchstpersönlich verliehen wurde. Als mächtiger Krieger verfügt er nicht nur über einen gut versteckten Goldschatz, sondern sieht auch noch extrem gut aus. Doch obwohl er von adeligem Stand ist, weist ihn die niedriggeborene Branwen ab - oder, noch schlimmer, sie ignoriert ihn. Dabei ist Branwen gar nicht entgangen, wie charmant Aidan ist, dass er oft viel zu nah an ihrer Seite sitzt und wie verführerisch seine Blicke sind ...

A dazzling and haunting vision of the end of the world, Ice is a masterpiece of literary science fiction now in a new 50th anniversary edition with a foreword by Jonathan Lethem One might become convinced that Kavan had seen the future . . . A half century after its first appearance, Kavan's fever dream of a novel is beginning to seem all too real. -The New Yorker In a frozen, apocalyptic landscape, destruction abounds: great walls of ice overrun the world and secretive governments vie for control. Against this surreal, yet eerily familiar broken world, an unnamed narrator embarks on a hallucinatory quest for a strange and elusive "glass-girl" with silver hair. He crosses icy seas and frozen plains, searching ruined towns and ransacked rooms, all to free her from the grips of a tyrant known only as the warden and save her before the ice closes all around.
