Shakespeare and Company
by Sylvia Beach 0374904855
Physical Description: 230
pages
Edition Info: 1982 Publisher: Octagon Books 0374904855
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.

A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran
Kahlil Gibran,
Publisher: The Citadel Press
ISBN: 0806504102 Book Details: Physical Description: 456 pages
Edition Info: Paperback; 1979-08-19DDC: 892.7081 Afro-Asiatic literatures; Semitic
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contain the texts of “Secrets of the Heart”, “Tears and Laughter” and “Spirits Rebellious”, together with hitherto unpublished writings by Gibran, which are included in the brilliant preface by the distinguished Gibran scholar, Martin L. Wolf.

His very self and voice: collected conversations of Lord Byron
edited with an introd. and notes by Ernest J. Lovell, Jr
Hardcover: 676 pages, Bibliography: p. 601-607, Includes index.
Publisher: Octagon Books (1980)

ISBN-10: 0374951314
ISBN-13: 978-0374951313
DDC: 821.7 English Poetry LCC: PR4383
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.
