| Shakespeare and Company by Sylvia Beach
Hardcover: 230 pages
Publisher: Octagon Books (1982)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0374904855
ISBN-13: 978-0374904852
Summary: Sylvia Beach was intimately acquainted with the expatriate and visiting writers of the Lost Generation, a label that she never accepted. Like moths of great promise, they were drawn to her well-lighted bookstore and warm hearth on the Left Bank. Shakespeare and Company evokes the zeitgeist of an era through its revealing glimpses of James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Sherwood
Anderson, Andre Gide, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, D. H. Lawrence, and others already famous or soon to be. In his introduction to this new edition, James Laughlin recalls his friendship with Sylvia Beach. Like her bookstore, his publishing house, New Directions, is considered a cultural touchstone.

The complete operas of W. S. Gilbert
with a preface by Deems Taylor
Publisher: Dorset Press/Random House, c1932. Reprint edition (February 1986) ISBN: 0880290439
ASIN: 0880290439
900 pages, Language: eng
Review: “All thirteen Gilbert and Sullivan operas produced in the years 1875-1896.” You can read along as you listen to your favorite recording of “The Mikado” clarifying any muffled lines – and noting where the modern production’s lyrics deliberately deviate from the original portions.
This truly is an indispensable reference for fans of Gilbert and Sullivan’s satirical social commentary.

Summary: Kahlil Gibran, author of “The Prophet”, is known throughout the world as the immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of his Age. “A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran”, which sold over a hundred thousand copies, led to a wide demand for a sequel volume. The demand has been met in “A Second Treasury of Kahlil Gibran”.
In this magnificent volume Gibran’s writing in his beloved mother tongue, Arabic, have been translated superbly into Englis by his great friend, Anthony Rizeallah Ferris. Included are four great books: “The Broken Wings”, an exquisitely tender, poetic love story; “The Voice of the Master”, Gibran’s remarkable study of his life; “Thoughts and Meditations”, containing Gibran’s spiritual message to the world; and “Kahlil Gibran: A Self Portrait”, in which Gibran’s greatness is revealed through his letters.
Notes: The broken wings.–The voice of the master.–Thoughts and
meditations.–A self-portrait.
