Paperback. Condizione: Good. With her new dazzling collection of short fiction Schwartz has propelled herself to the front rank of inventive short story writers such as George Sanders and David Means Her characters are indefatigable New Yorkers whose long-established routines are thwarted by a swerve of fate or a mishap or a time warp. A man generously lends his car to his ex-wife and is bewildered when she neglects to return it and keeps making implausible excuses not to bring it back. A neat and orderly clothing store owner is taken in and manipulated by an ailing elderly neighbor who then leaves her all earthly possessions. A woman who has been left by her husband for a younger woman and forced to visit the couple in order to see her children realizes, with a mixture of fascination and elation, that her former husband has been physically and psychologically debilitated by his recent marriage to a much younger wife. The majority of Schwartz?s characters reflect her many decades of accumulating wisdom and her sharp and fascinating perspective. Reflecting on the past one of her characters muses ?Memory is so prone to digression. To sustain a logical or chronological sequence we must keep dragging our minds off their natural course like a cowboy tugging on a calf with a rope around its neck who wants to run off into the fields.? With this sort of nuanced thinking Schwartz?s fiction brings new angles of intelligence to day-to day questions.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. sop was probably a real person; although it is impossible to be sure which of the surviving stories were really his. The date given him by Herodotus is about 570 b.c., and there is nothing to make this date improbable. Other ancient sources include Aristotle and Plutarch, who has him dining with the Seven Sages of Greece and sitting beside his friend Solon, whom he had met in Sardis. The earliest known writings appear from the first century a.d. Later, stories of this kind, especially animal stories, were all ascribed to sop, and the Greek collection which goes under his name contains stories of many ages. A number of sop's fables are found in India, and it is not certain where they were first told. Sir Roger L'Estrange, the translator of the present book, was born in 1616 and died in 1704. He was a staunch Royalist, an author and pamphleteer, and Member of Parliament for Winchester from 1685 to 1689. He fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War and was sentenced to death as a spy, spending four years in Newgate gaol, from which he escaped. During the Commonwealth he lived abroad, in Holland, returning to England at the Restoration to become Licenser of the Press (1663), in which role he was charged with the prevention of sedition and authorised to search the premises of printers and booksellers on the merest suspicion of dissension. L'Estrange excelled at his office. Hunting down and suppressing hidden presses and seizing seditious books or pamphlets, he become known as the Bloodhound of the Press.He published a great many books himself, besides pamphlets and other ephemeral works. He translated Josephus, Cicero on Friendship, Quevedo's Visions, Senneca the Younger's Morals, and other works. His sop, which includes fables drawn from other sources, was published in 1692, and has been often re-published through the years, his easy and vigorous colloquial style being well-suited to the subject.…

Hardback. Condizione: Good. In The Tortoise and the Hare, the slick and confident Hare meets the patient and focused Tortoise. When Hare challenges Tortoise to a race, Hare believes (as do the other animals) that shy Tortoise doesn't stand a chance. But as Hare learns, bragging about one's abilities doesn't make one a winner. In The Three Little Pigs, the two pigs whose houses are made of disposables - plastic and other junk - don't stand a chance against the Wolf. But the pig whose house is made with greener materials, such as clay and bamboo, survives the Wolf and helps keep the Earth green. In Country Mouse and City Mouse, two mouse cousins sample one another's lifestyles. While City Mouse lives in a high rise, goes to parties, and knows loads of other mice, Country Mouse lives a quieter life under the stars. City Mouse can't believe a quiet life is satisfying. In the end, both mice realize there is no "right" way to live. Perfect for reading aloud and beautifully illustrated by debut artist Janna Mattia, these retold fables will reverberate with every reading. Mattia, Janna (illustratore).…
