Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. London and Chester Springs. Peter Owen Publishers. 2009. This title was originally published in 1999; this is an expanded second edition. Red and yellow striped wraps with illustrations to the front. Three corners have the most minimal of knocks but otherwise the book presents as fine. Over the past few decades, the author of Alice in Wonderland has been characterized as child-centered and unworldly, and harboring an unnatural attraction to Alice Liddell and her siblings. All this may be true, says Leach, a successful playwright now for nearly two decades, but if so at all, it refers not to the actual person Charles Dodgson--a well known and respected logician--but to Lewis Carroll, the persona he created as thoroughly as he did the other fantasy characters associated with the story. She sorts through the evidence to reveal Dodgson's actual life, and particularly his relationship with the Liddell family and with women in general. Of particular interest, she shows how photographs and texts that would today be considered child pornography were innocent standard fare in Victorian England. She has revised the 1999 first edition for this second.

16 x 24cm. 216 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Illustrated endpapers. Excellent condition. Includes inserted newspaper reviews of this book and of other works by the author. Shusaku Endo was a Japanese author who wrote from the rare perspective of a Japanese Roman Catholic. In this, his last novel, a trip to India becomes a journey of discovery for a group of Japanese tourists playing out their "individual dramas of the soul." Isobe searches for his reincarnated wife, while Kiguchi relives the wartime horror that ultimately saved his life. Alienated by middle age, Mitsuko follows Otsu, a failed priest, to the holy city of Varanas, hoping that the murky Ganges holds the secret to the "difference between being alive and truly living." Looking for absolutes, each character confronts instead the moral ambiguity of India's complex culture, in which good and evil are seen as a whole as indifferent to distinction as the Ganges River, which washes the living and transports the dead. This novel is a fascinating study of cultural truths revealed through a rich and varied cast. [From The Library Journals] Sprache: english.
