Moderately toned, noticeable tilt, else content appears as unread and unblemished with very good wraps displaying minor surface/edge wear, as shown. Text & pages are strong. Commentary by Ronald J. Fields Full of letters, scripts, and writings by and about Fields by his close intimates, this does much to humanize the Great Man. It isn't really an autobiography--there is no continuous flow here or central narrative--but there are some pleasant surprises for even long time Fields fans. It is clear Curtis made use of the book and related materials for his great biography of Fields. It does warm the heart a bit to see how loved he was by his grandson (who put this together) and son by the end of his life. Worth a look for Fields fans.

KIRKUS REVIEW
The celebrated baritone recounts the story of the stormy seven-year friendship between Wagner and Nietzsche, with chief emphasis on the intellectual development of the latter. He examines Nietzsche the young thinker struggling to adapt and correct Schopenhauer's ideas on the relationship between will and art, aided by the inspiring example of Wagner. Effortfully but sometimes pungently, he narrates the course of Nietzsche's intellectual and personal disillusionment with Wagner the "betrayer" of integrated, affirmative art. For Fischer-Dieskau, Nietzsche is the prophet par excellence of the artistic quandaries of our time, and it was the inner wrestlings with Wagner that crystallized his sweeping "revaluation… Leer más

About the book: Deborah Mitford, Duchess of Devonshire, is the youngest of the famously witty brood of six daughters and one son that included the writers Jessica and Nancy, who wrote, when Deborah was born, "How disgusting of the poor darling to go and be a girl." Deborah's effervescent memoir Wait for Me! chronicles her remarkable life, from an eccentric but happy childhood roaming the Oxfordshire countryside, to tea with Adolf Hitler and her sister Unity in 1937, to her marriage to Andrew Cavendish, the second son of the Duke of Devonshire. Her life changed utterly with his unexpected inheritance of the title and vast estates after the wartime death of his brother, who had married "Kick" Kennedy, the beloved sister of John F. Kennedy. Her friendship with that family would last through triumph and tragedy. In 1959, the… Leer más

The beautiful, immature girl whom she took home to her husband was a maid only in name. Tomo's real mission had been to find him a mistress. Nor did her secret humiliation end there. The web that his insatiable lust spun about him soon trapped another young woman, and another ... and the relationships between the women thus caught were to form, over the years, a subtle, shifting pattern in which they all played a part. There was Suga, the innocent, introspective girl from a respectable but impoverished family; the outgoing, cheerful, almost boyish Yumi; the flirtatious, seductive Miya, who soon found her father-in-law more dependable as a man than his brutish son.... And at the center, rejected yet dominating them all, the near tragic figure of the wife Tomo, whose passionate heart was always, until that final day, held in check by an old-fashioned code.
In a series of colorful,… Leer más

A scarce issue of this author's third book. In this powerful evocation of an outpost of Empire, Coetzee has achieved another disturbing, tautly controlled tour de force --- a compulsive mixture of irony, eroticism, introspection and horror. For decades the Magistrate has run the affairs of a tiny frontier settlement, ignoring the impending war between the barbarians and the Empire. When the interrogation experts arrive he is jolted into sympathy with the victims and an act of rebellion which lands him in prison.
Waiting for the Barbarians is a novel by the South African-born author J. M. Coetzee, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. The novel was published in 1980 and is regarded as one of Coetzee's finest pieces of writing. It was chosen by Penguin for its… Leer más

Still Protecting tho ;-).The Wallaces make up an important part of America and the three Henry Wallaces have made a great contribution to our history. Republicans, Democrats, farmers, editors, philosophers, ministers, economists, politicians, statesmen, fighters -- all are the Wallaces, and Russell Lord has given us a picture of a dynasty that will live long after the present Henry Wallace enters his last fray. From the foundation of the Wallace clan in a small town in Western Pennsylvania in the 18th century down to Henry Wallace's resignation from Truman's cabinet, we are made to feel the integrity, the courage, the vision of the Wallaces who "bled" for a better America.
