On her fortieth birthday, Madame Wu carries out a decision she has been planning for a long time: she tells her husband that after twenty-four years their physical life together is now over and she wishes him to take a second wife. The House of Wu, one of the oldest and most revered in China, is thrown into an uproar by her decision, but Madame Wu will not be dissuaded and arranges for a young country girl to come take her place in bed. Elegant and detached, Madame Wu orchestrates this change as she manages everything in the extended household of more than sixty relatives and servants. Alone in her own quarters, she relishes her freedom and reads books she has never been allowed to touch. When her son begins English lessons, she listens, and is soon learning from the foreigner, a free-thinking priest named Brother Andre, who will change her life. Few books raise so many questions about the nature and roles of men and women, about self-discipline and happiness.

Softcover. Condition: Good. The measurement of manners--as devotees of Anthony Trollope are well aware--can offer readers an amusing course in the vanities and verities of the human heart. Among modern novelists who have taken up the instruments of sophisticated observation, Angela Thrikell stands out as a droll yet sympathetic chronicler of town and country. Her intuitive grasp of the comedy of social relations among the cultivated gentry of 20th-century Britain, and the elegantly entertaining manner in which she translates her intuitions to the page, has won her a legion of dedicated and well-deserved admirers.O, These Men, These Men! first published in 1935 and long out of print, is one of Angela Thirkell's few non-Barsetshire novels. Believed to be something of a roman-a-clef, it deftly chronicles the sorrows and renewals, the heartbreak and graduation of happiness in the life of a refined young woman who has weathered the end of an ill-starred marriage.

Softcover. Condition: Good. In this mid-century installment of her much-loved modern Barsetshire chronicles, Angela Thirkell weaves two colorful strands into the fabric of a charming plot. The first continues her narrative of the social a romantic entanglements of the generations in her fictional stretch of English countryside, which, as the novel opens, has been cast into mourning by the death of King George VI.Soon enough, however, local gossip takes center stage, and other pieces of news, the appointment of a new Rector, "Tubby" Fewling from Northbridge, and the return to the vicinity of the beautiful Rose Fairweather ("A better antidote to true grief for a departed king could not have been imagined") begin to occupy the minds (and tongues!) of denizens. The second strand of this captivating novel is nothing less than a Barsetshire fairy tale. It begins when Canon Fewling meets, among his new parishioners, Margot Phelps, the impoverished spinster daughter of a retired admiral. Led by Rose Fairweather, the women of the community take it upon themselves to treat Margot to a make-over. It begins with hair and clothes and ends with her self-confidence that leads everyone to see her in a new light. Like Cinderella, Margot Phelps is transformed, and all her fortunes, from the romantic to the financial to even the literary, are happily enhanced.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The enigma of Anna O. was one of the most famous of the case studies in Sigmund Freud and Joesph Breuer's seminal book, Studies on Hysteria. Until 1953 when Freud's Biographer revealed her identity, no one was aware that the real woman behind the anonymous pseudonym was the renowned German Jewish Feminist, Bertha Pappeneim. Born to a wealthy orthodox Jewish family in Vienna, Pappenheim was related to some of the most recognizable names in Jewish society - the Warburgs, Guggenheims and the Goldschmidt-Rothchilds. When her father became ill, the then twenty-one year old developed strange symptoms and was treated by the family physician, Joseph Breuer. The treatment consisted if Bertha relating her dreams and her own fairy tales, a process she termed the talking cure, which later became the basis for Freud's theories of psychoanalysis.
