Equally adept at ironic comedy, muted tragedy, & supernatural fantasy, at lively social satire & nuanced portraiture, James in his shorter works explores a staggering variety of situations & emotions. Here are courtships & legacies; the worlds of literature, theatre, & the popular press; the paradoxes of temperament & the constraints of custom; the clash of conscience & desire. Stylistically, the stories allowed James to experiment w/ tones & devices quite different from his novels: dramatic plot twists & surprise endings, swift pacing & ebullient humor. The brilliance of his technical command allowed him to transform the tiniest of suggestions (a fleetingly observed gesture, an anecdote dropped at a dinner party) into fiction remarkable for its lambent surfaces & intricate psychological counterpoint. The 21 stories in this volume represent James at the peak of his storytelling powers. Among them are "The Turn of the Screw", one of his most popular works, & a terrifying exercise in psychological horror centering on the corruption of childhood innocence; "The Real Thing," a playful consideration of the illusion of art & the paradoxes of authenticity; "The Figure in the Carpet", "The Death of the Lion", & "The Middle Years", 3 very different expositions of the mysteries of authorship, embodying some of James' most profound insights into the nature of his own art; "The Altar of the Dead", a somber, ultimately wrenching meditation on the relation of the living to the dead; & "In the Cage", an extended evocation of the inner life of a young woman trapped in a dehumanizing job at a postal-&-telegraph office. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: John Hollander & David Bromwich are Poet Laureate of the State of Connecticut & Sterling Professor at Yale University, respectively. Mr. Hollander is a 1990 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. Mr. Bromwich is the author of "Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking". * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.

Softcover. United Society for Christian Literature. 80 p.; 18.5 cm. (World Christian books special ; 3) [Reprint of 1959 edition] `Introduction. The Persian city of Isfahan is famed in history and poetry and the home of splendid minarets and gracious domes, which have been the admiration of countless travellers. The creator of many of these glories was the Safavi ruler Shah Abbas, who constructed in the centre of the city his spacious square, known popularly as Maidan-i-Shah, but called in history Naqsh-i-Jahan--"The Design of the World". This simple book of personal experience seeks to tell another story of Isfahan, the tale of something that happened to a schoolboy and how he found, as he believes, from God Himself, the design of his world. As a story it will never draw travellers to Isfahan, but it is eagerly sent out from it. "Design of my World" is a story with four sides. What the writer is describing came to him in four-fold sequence. In telling the story he intends only to offer to others who may read it the pattern of the life and peace he found through faith in Christ.' (p. 7) Good in orig. brown on sage wrapper.

Charley Paddock (1900-1943) was considered the "World's Fastest Human" in the 1920's.

[Das Blatt 'Evocation' variiert die Botschaft von 'Accorde'. Vor einer Brüstung über der Weite des Meeres sitzt ein Mann mit den Zügen Klingers am Klavier. Er blickt zu seiner Begleiterin, die in emphatischer Geste Maske und Gewand fallen gelassen hat. Die Muse des Pianisten scheint sich in einer Entlarvung befreit zu haben. In den Umrissen der Himmelslandschaft dagegen zeichnet sich der Kampf der Titanen und der olympischen Götter ab.] "Evocation" high-quality facsimile/reprint in giclée print with a narrow, white border on 250g Schwarzwaldmühle art print cardboard (21x30cm) based on an etching by Klinger that appeared in the graphic cycle "Brahms-Phantasien" in 1893 [The sheet 'Evocation' varies the message of 'Accorde'. In front of a parapet overlooking the vastness of the sea, a man with Klinger's features sits at the piano. He looks at his companion, who has dropped her mask and robe in an emphatic gesture. The pianist's muse seems to have freed itself in an unmasking. In the outlines of the sky, however, the battle of the Titans and the Olympian gods can be seen.].
