Equally adept at ironic comedy, muted tragedy, & supernatural fantasy, at lively social satire & nuanced portraiture, James in his shorter works explores a staggering variety of situations & emotions. Here are courtships & legacies; the worlds of literature, theatre, & the popular press; the paradoxes of temperament & the constraints of custom; the clash of conscience & desire. Stylistically, the stories allowed James to experiment w/ tones & devices quite different from his novels: dramatic plot twists & surprise endings, swift pacing & ebullient humor. The brilliance of his technical command allowed him to transform the tiniest of suggestions (a fleetingly observed gesture, an anecdote dropped at a dinner party) into fiction remarkable for its lambent surfaces & intricate psychological counterpoint. The 21 stories in this volume represent James at the peak of his storytelling powers. Among them are "The Turn of the Screw", one of his most popular works, & a terrifying exercise in psychological horror centering on the corruption of childhood innocence; "The Real Thing," a playful consideration of the illusion of art & the paradoxes of authenticity; "The Figure in the Carpet", "The Death of the Lion", & "The Middle Years", 3 very different expositions of the mysteries of authorship, embodying some of James' most profound insights into the nature of his own art; "The Altar of the Dead", a somber, ultimately wrenching meditation on the relation of the living to the dead; & "In the Cage", an extended evocation of the inner life of a young woman trapped in a dehumanizing job at a postal-&-telegraph office. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: John Hollander & David Bromwich are Poet Laureate of the State of Connecticut & Sterling Professor at Yale University, respectively. Mr. Hollander is a 1990 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. Mr. Bromwich is the author of "Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking". * The LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.

He is at the event of his daughter's wedding. Michael, Vito's youngest son and a decorated WWII Marine is also present at the wedding. Michael seems to be uninterested in being a part of the family business. Vito is a powerful man, and is kind to all those who give him respect but is ruthless against those who do not. But when a powerful and treacherous rival wants to sell drugs and needs the Don's influence for the same, Vito refuses to do it. What follows is a clash between Vito's fading old values and the new ways which may cause Michael to do the thing he was most reluctant in doing and wage a mob war against all the other mafia families which could tear the Corleone family apart. ** Reviewers say 'The Godfather' is acclaimed for its intricate narrative, deep character exploration, and universal themes of power, family, and loyalty. The film's deliberate pacing, iconic performances by Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, and its significant influence on the gangster genre are often lauded. Critics also praise the cinematography, memorable score by Nino Rota, and its cultural impact. ** Creasing & scuffing to Covers, slight spine slant Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall. Book.

Softcover. United Society for Christian Literature. 80 p.; 18.5 cm. (World Christian books special ; 3) [Reprint of 1959 edition] `Introduction. The Persian city of Isfahan is famed in history and poetry and the home of splendid minarets and gracious domes, which have been the admiration of countless travellers. The creator of many of these glories was the Safavi ruler Shah Abbas, who constructed in the centre of the city his spacious square, known popularly as Maidan-i-Shah, but called in history Naqsh-i-Jahan--"The Design of the World". This simple book of personal experience seeks to tell another story of Isfahan, the tale of something that happened to a schoolboy and how he found, as he believes, from God Himself, the design of his world. As a story it will never draw travellers to Isfahan, but it is eagerly sent out from it. "Design of my World" is a story with four sides. What the writer is describing came to him in four-fold sequence. In telling the story he intends only to offer to others who may read it the pattern of the life and peace he found through faith in Christ.' (p. 7) Good in orig. brown on sage wrapper.
