[8], 182, [2] pages. Name of former owner stamped on fep. Some weakness at the front hinge. Rex Todhunter Stout (December 1, 1886October 27, 1975) was an American writer noted for his detective fiction. His best-known characters are the detective Nero Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin, who were featured in 33 novels and 39 novellas or short stories between 1934 and 1975. In 1959, Stout received the Mystery Writers of America's Grand Master Award. The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon XXXI, the world's largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was nominated as Best Mystery Writer of the Century. He served as head of the Writers' War Board during World War II, became a radio celebrity, and was later active in promoting world federalism. He was the long-time president of the Authors Guild and sought to benefit authors by lobbying for improvement of authors' rights under the copyright laws. He also served a term as president of the Mystery Writers of America in 1958. Rex Stout began his literary career in the 1910s writing for magazines, particularly pulp magazines, writing more than 40 stories that appeared between 1912 and 1918. Stout's early stories appeared most frequently in All-Story Magazine and its affiliates, but he was also published in magazines as varied as Smith's Magazine, Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, Short Stories, The Smart Set, Young's Magazine, and Golfers Magazine. A Right to Die is a Nero Wolfe detective novel by Rex Stout, first published by the Viking Press in 1964. The novel is set against the background of the Civil Rights Act conflict during the early Johnson Administration. At the beginning of the book, Paul Whipple, a black character from the earlier novel Too Many Cooks (1938), whose trust Wolfe had gained against a strong West Virginia atmosphere of prejudice, tells Wolfe that Wolfe has since become his hero, and that he has also achieved his dream, stated in the earlier novel, of becoming an anthropologist. He has come, however, to draw upon the favor he did Wolfe 26 years earlier, by asking Wolfe to prevent his son Dunbar Whipple from marrying a rich white girl, Susan Brooke, with whom he is apparently in love. While claiming that he is not opposed, in principle at least, to mixed-race couples, Paul Whipple thinks that sensible rich white girls do not fall in love with poor black men, even if the rich white girl is working for a black civil rights organization in New York, the Rights of Citizens Committee. Wolfe is loath to interfere in the matter, but agrees to at least learn what he can about the true motivations of the socialite girlfriend and why she would be interested in a Negro boyfriend, to settle the debt he owes Whipple. Before the real mystery story gets underway, Stout allows some give and take on the concept of racism being a two-way street: blacks preferring their own as much as whites. Archie arranges a meeting with Susan Brooke through his girlfriend, Lily Rowan, but is unable to form a conclusion as to her motives. Wolfe has him fly to Racine, Wisconsin, Susan's hometown, to do research on her background. He discovers little except for an incident where a man who wanted to marry her, Richard Ault, shot himself on her front porch after she turned him down. He is doing more research when Wolfe suddenly calls him back to New York: Susan Brooke has been brutally murdered in her Harlem apartment. Dunbar Whipple is the prime suspect in the murder, and Wolfe agrees to work on his behalf. Wolfe focuses his investigation on Dunbar and Susan's co-workers at the Rights of Citizens Committee, over the objections of Whipple's lawyer Harold Oster, who is also the ROCC's counsel. Those interviewed include the organization's founder Thomas Henchly, Susan's superior Cass Faison, Rae Kallmann and Maud Jordan, two white volunteers, and Beth Tiger, a black stenographer Archie takes immediate interest in. Susan's family is also interviewed, and it becomes apparent that they are bigots who consider her involvement with Civil Rights a "kink" and do not believe she could have been engaged to Dunbar. Her sister-in-law Dolly is particularly vitriolic and Archie takes an instant dislike to her. The family claims that Susan was actually engaged to a white car dealer named Peter Vaughn. Saul Panzer discovers that Dolly Brooke lied about her alibi the night of the murder by interviewing a garage attendant who saw her take her car out an hour before the murder took place. They cannot prove it because the witness refuses to testify, but stumble upon a lucky break when Vaughn, riddled with guilt, confesses to Archie that he lied to the police to firm up Dolly's alibi. Wolfe and Archie confront Mrs. Brooke, who admits that she went to Susan's apartment, but she could not get in because no one answered her knock. This indicates that Susan was already dead at 8:45, long before Dunbar Whipple arrived at the apartment. Her evidence clears him, but Wolfe elects not to use it because that would not only endanger Vaughn but would complicate matters by destroying the lead he has on the police. Several days later, Vaughn calls Archie, telling him that he may have more information but that he has to do some checking on it first. The next day he is found dead, shot multiple times. When it emerges that Vaughn went to the ROCC the day before for information on Susan and Dunbar, Wolfe brings the key players to his office for another interview to prevent their being arrested as material witnesses. It is during this interview that Wolfe realizes that the key to the case lies in the unusual frequency of a diphthong in the names of those involved. It will take another trip to the Midwest for Archie, this time to Evansville, Indiana, before the case is solved. The use of Paul Whipple as a character in a 1964 Nero Wolfe novel was problematic, since Rex Stout never allowed his recurring cha.

Brossura. Condition: new. Translation by Cupertino A. and Schiavone L.French Text.Fasano, 2015; paperback, pp. 134, b/w and col. ill., cm 24x22. Cette première ouvre de l'auteur raconte l'histoire de Pettolecchia, une " masseria " parmi les plus belles et les plus originales des Pouilles. La narration ne se borne pas à appliquer une méthode heuristique, pour mettre en lumière le côté fonctionnel et culturel de la " masseria " ; elle l'accroit d'un scenario intérieur et la trans forme dans un lieu de l'âme, voilée de nostalgie mais fière de ses racines. Pettolecchia prend forme à travers l'histoire de ses origines lointaines que l'auteur recherche, avec dévouement, parmi des registres cadastrales et des testaments poussiéreux. Elle se révèle surtout à travers les portraits des nobles et richissimes Palmieri, qui ont réalisé Pettolecchia, y ont vécu, l'ont enrichie et l'ont aimée profondément. Pietro et Francesco, des hommes à la volonté audace et obstinée, Marcello, au tempérament craintif et rêveur, Ippolita, une femme tendre et accomplie et Isabella, laborieuse et concrète,sont tous protagonistes de la même Odyssée : redonner toute sa splendeur à Pettolecchia, le " coffre-fort de l'or liquide ", l'entrepôt pour l'huile extrait dans son moulin hypogé, à partir des oliviers millénaires qui l'entouraient. Le temps a transformé ce domaine, lieu physique et naturel, lieu de richesse et de prestige, en lieu du cour et du rêve, où toutes les passions et les ambitions de la vie peuvent trouver un sens, " entre les douces collines des Pouilles et le ciel bleu de la Méditerranée ", sur la plaine dominée par " Pettolecchia, majestueuse et belle, entourée d'oliveraies, caressée par la brise embaumée de myrte et d'air marin ".

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a confessional dialogue between the author and Saint Augustine, offers a poignant glimpse into the soul of a 14th-century man wrestling with sin and the desire for salvation. Written in the wake of several personal losses, the author's anguish spills forth in raw and introspective prose. Despite his earthly accomplishments, including fame as a poet and scholar, he finds himself tormented by feelings of inadequacy and a profound sense of mortality. The author's internal conflict mirrors the broader spiritual crisis of his time, as the medieval world grappled with the tensions between faith and reason, and the allure of worldly pleasures against the promise of eternal salvation. The timeless themes of guilt, redemption, and the search for meaning in a transient existence are explored with depth and sincerity, making this book a resonant and thought-provoking read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the human condition. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Brossura. Condition: new. Fasano, 2014; br., pp. 136, ill. b/n e col., tavv., cm 24x22,5.(I codici superiori). La storia di Pettolecchia, uno fra gli edifici masseriali più splendidi ed originali di Puglia, viene narrata, in questo primo lavoro dell'autrice, non solo e non tanto in chiave euristica, collocando la masseria entro le linee del suo orizzonte funzionale e culturale quanto, e soprattutto, proiettandola all'interno di uno scenario interiore, di un luogo dell'anima, attraversato da un velo di sottile nostalgia e di orgoglio felice delle radici della propria terra. Pettolecchia prende vita, oltre che dal racconto delle sue lontanissime origini, ricercate con paziente dedizione tra le pagine di catasti e testamenti polverosi, anche dai ritratti degli uomini e delle donne "che l'hanno fatta e vissuta, tenacemente e devotamente amata", i nobili e ricchissimi Palmieri. Uomini dalla volontà ardente e tenace, come Pietro e Francesco, o di indole languida e sognatrice come Marcello; donne lievi e luminose come Ippolita o concrete ed operose come Isabella, tutti protagonisti di una stessa odissea: dare lustro a Pettolecchia, la "cassaforte dell' oro liquido", prodotto dalle centinaia di ulivi secolari che fanno corona alla masseria e secreto nel millenario trappeto ipogeo.
