Shakespeare and Company
by Sylvia Beach 0374904855
Physical Description: 230
pagesEdition Info: 1982 Publisher: Octagon Books-
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, SherwoodAnderson, 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. Hardcover-Blue Cloth-New-Collectible-Gift

The complete operas of W. S. Gilbert
with a preface by Deems
Taylor
Publisher: Dorset Press/Random House, c1932. Reprint
edition (February 1986)
Book Details: ISBN: 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.

His very self and voice:

Bibliography: p. 601-607.
Includes index.
Review: This book was an entertaining and valuable resource as I delved into
the “mad, bad and dangerous to know” world of LB. It’s got its dry
spells but the little gems are worth it for anyone interested in one of
the original pop icons. Oh, did I mention that he wrote poetry too? The
fact (and legend) is usually just as good if not better than the
fiction.

| A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran
Kahlil Gibran,
Publisher: The Citadel Press
ISBN: 0806504102 DDC: 892.7081 Afro-Asiatic literatures;
Semitic Edition: Paperback; 1979-08-19
Summary: Kahlil Gibran, author of “The Prophet”, is known throughout the world as The Immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of his Age. The very heart of the mystic East emerges in this monumental volume of the magnificent poetry and prose that he wrote in his beloved mother tongue,
Arabic. Translated superbly into English, here are the nine great books,
gathered together in one giant volume and now available in a paperback
edition for Gibran’s myriad admirers in America. In these writings “the
Dante of the twentieth century” offers verses and lyric prose which
possess all the grandeur of rich music. Here are the great truths and
heartening joys, drawn from the tears and sufferings of man. Here are
pages that sparkle with simile and symbolism, of which Gibran is the
world’s unquestioned master. And here is the profound exaltation of a
great soul that has found salvation in the heart of sorrow. In this book
you will find wistful beauty, fierce anger, spellbinding majesty, and
the abiding peace that Eastern wisdom seeks eternally in contemplation.
The nine books which make up “A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran” contain the
texts of “Secrets of the Heart”, “Tears and Laughter” and “Spirits
Rebellious”, together with hitherto unpublished writings by Gibran,
which are included in the brilliant preface by the distinguished Gibran
scholar, Martin L. Wolf.

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”,

Gibran”.

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.
