Translated by William Maynard Hutchins and Olive E Kenny. Language: English. Weight: 22.5 ounces. First Edition Thus (1991), 25th Printing. Trade Paperback. Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1988. Book One of the Cairo Trilogy. Naguib Mahfouz's wonderful novel Palace Walk was originally published in Arabic in 1956, and not translated to English until 1990. This is the story of Al-Sayyid Ahmad, a shopkeeper in Cairo during and after World War I, his wife, Amina, and the lives and courtships of their several children. The novel offers profound insight into a different culture and religion. Al-Sayyid has a dual personality -- petty tyrant at home, with his wife and children; bon vivant and man-about-town with his friends. Because of the harsh sexual segregation in his traditional Arab home, his wife is none the wiser, but his older sons learn of first hand then come to emulate their father's lifestyle. Although the subject matter is "small" -- a middle-class family's domestic issues -- this is unquestionably a "big" book, raising issues of religion, class, gender, and integrity. Mahfouz is a truly gifted writer, and conveys his characters with humor, insight, clarity and compassion. First Edition Thus (1991), 25th Printing.

Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for a F/O address label on the front wrap verso. Book Condition: Very Good +; light toning to peripheral edges of pages. No DJ. Pictorial card stock wraps. Wraps are not bent or folded; spine is not creased or split; text is secure in binding. 541 pp 8vo. This book is the intense and thought-provoking account of the author's decade of reporting in the strife-ridden Middle East. He has reported from Beirut and Jerusalem, the two cities at the center of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In his journey from Beirut to Jerusalem, Friedman gives us a panoramic view of both the political and personal conflicts of the region. He describes with intense vividness the sometimes horrifying, sometimes wondrous cities, for which, he says, nothing in his life had prepared him. Friedman brings alive his journey with analysis and self-examination, and puts all the current events into perspective with inimitable detail, clarity and remarkable insight. This is a much-needed framework for understanding the psychology and politics of the Middle East, and for understanding the future of this unique region. A clean Very presentable copy.

In his first book, Mura explored cultural, social, and political issues with an objective eye; here he turns the focus inward and expertly examines the boundaries of his identity as a sexual Japanese man. Race and eroticism twine around each other in many poems, and Mura refuses to shy away from the shadowy parts of himself. He elegantly confesses his experiences inside an X-rated film booth and of "touching himself" so much when he was 12 that his father asked him to read a medical pamphlet about it. In the longest sequence here, "The Affair," he presents a wrenching adultery involving an Asian American man and a married Caucasian woman; Mura plunges beneath the surface of mere betrayal to comment on race, identity, sex, and pain. Intelligent and passionate, Mura bares his soul and amazes his readers with the beauty and darkness in his work.

Trade Paperback. llen Chesler's 1992 biography of Margaret Sanger is acclaimed as definitive and is widely used and cited by scholars and activists alike in the fields of women's health and reproductive rights. Chesler's substantive new Afterword considers how Sanger's life and work hold up in light of subsequent developments, such as U.S. Supreme Court cases challenging the constitutional doctrine of privacy and international definitions of reproductive health as an essential human right. Chesler illuminates Sanger's turbulent personal story, as well as the history of the birth control movement, in an intimate biography of a visionary rebel. Indispensable reading for the generations of women who take their reproductive and sexual freedoms for granted. First Ed thus; First Printing indicated.

This is the third book in the trilogy of the Army of the Potomac. Bruce Catton writes like no other about the American Civil War. His insight makes you believe he was there, that he lived through it, coming from his years of listening to the veterans in his hometown. And though he is a Yankee, he strives very hard to be impartial. He tries to be impartial, but perhaps surprisingly I sense an admiration for the colorful soldiers of the South slipping into the texture of his prose. I know it has been fashionable for many of the newer voices in the field to garner attention. However, if you really want a view of the War Between the States that is more like a visit with a time machine, then you must imbibe the genius of Catton. First Edition thus (1990), Third Printing.

A Time Magazine "Best Book of 1996". Trade Paperback. This book contains a detailed description, from a first person point of view, of the tremendous changes that occurred in China from 1972 to 1996, starting with the great move backward by a ruthless dictatorship under Mao, to the beginnings of the economic advance in China under Deng, starting in the 1990's, by someone who experienced it all first hand. Particularly detailed and of interest is the hour by hour eyewitness description of the Tiananmen Square massacre in which the troops of the People's Liberation Army fired volley after volley into masses of peacefully protesting Chinese who simply wanted a little better life, killing at least 3000. No wonder this book is banned in China. A Canadian-born Chinese female author who learned to speak Chinese in college was able to blend into the Chinese people and able to experience what it was like under the regime of Mao, including the repression and favoritism and domination by the Communist Party. She, as a true believer, began by working in factories and fields. She left China and later returned as a foreign correspondent for Canadian newspapers. The book is filled with many details of everyday life, but with a perspective of someone from Canada, and it is difficult to see how anyone else could have been in such a place to have written such a book. Jan Wong has an incisive way of analyzing and describing what she sees, and it is a book which describes frankly her own personal development. In the end although she went to China to see how a socialist government could care for its people since she thought that the socialist way would be the best, but she discovered there were more social support systems in Canada and far more freedom for the individual, and she began to appreciate those things about daily life that people in North America take for granted.
