Deckel einmal gelocht. - This book is about the destructive consequences of poverty in America, particularly the effects of poverty on mental capacity. The author shows that the alarming statistics on mental retardation and poor academic performance too often fail to distinguish between pseudo-mental retardation, attributable to the effects of poverty, and real mental retardation caused by genetic incapacity. The facts amassed by the author are an eloquent plea for immediate and massive federal action to help alleviate this costly, waste of human potential. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

As spring arrives, he delves into the pleasures of discovering blooming landscapes and the start of local markets brimming with fresh produce.## ## Summer brings an influx of tourists and the hustle and bustle of peak season, which Mayle observes with wit as he navigates through crowded spaces and shares anecdotes about his interactions with visitors and neighbours.## ## In fall, Mayle reflects on the harvest season, particularly the grape harvest, a significant event in wine-producing Provence.

His observations on rural life are both affectionate and satirical, providing a nuanced portrayal of adapting to a new home.## ## The memoir is not just about Mayle's personal journey but also a tribute to Provence itself?its cuisine, wine, landscape, and people.

Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Condizione: Gut. New Edition. XVII + (15) 783 pages. 20,2 cm. Guter Zustand. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. This revised volume of the acclaimed novel follows the complete unabridged text as corrected in 1961. Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century. This edition contains a Letter from Joyce to the publisher and the historic court ruling to remove the federal ban. It also contains page references to the first American edition of 1934. - . Ulysses: Joyces berühmtestes Werk ist der Roman Ulysses, der auszugsweise in der Zeitschrift The Little Review" 19181920 vorabgedruckt wurde, und 1922 im Verlag der Pariser Buchhandlung Shakespeare and Company" als Buch erschien. Es entstand in den Jahren 1914 bis 1921. Die ersten Kapitel legte Harriet Weaver im April 1918 der Hogarth Press vor, doch das Verleger- und Schriftstellerehepaar Virginia und Leonard Woolf konnte sich zu einer Veröffentlichung nicht entschließen, da sie wegen des zum Teil obszönen Inhalts keinen Drucker fanden, der das Risiko auf sich nehmen wollte. Joyce beeinflusste mit seinem Ulysses die Geschichte des modernen Romans ebenso maßgeblich wie etwa Marcel Proust mit A la recherche du temps perdu (deutsch: Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit) (19131927). Joyces bedeutendster Beitrag zur modernen Literatur bestand im Einsatz des Stream of Consciousness", deutsch Bewusstseinsstrom bzw. des sog. inneren Monologs. Joyce hatte diese literarische Technik zwar nicht erfunden, jedoch erstmals konsequent angewandt und bedeutend weiterentwickelt. Beispielsweise besteht das letzte Kapitel des Romans ausschließlich aus den Gedanken Marion (Molly") Blooms, der Frau der Hauptfigur Leopold Bloom, geschrieben in acht Sätzen ohne Interpunktionszeichen. Nach dem Protagonisten des Romans wird der 16. Juni (der Roman spielt nur innerhalb dieses einen Tages und in den Morgenstunden des folgenden im Jahr 1904) in literarischen Kreisen auch vermehrt aus touristischen Gründen inzwischen Bloomsday genannt. . . .
