Paperback. Condition: Good. This monograph studies the Arab mahjari ( migr ) writer Gibran Khalil Gibran (Kahlil Gibran) by examining his oeuvre as bilingual Arabic literature beyond biographical and culturalist approaches. It situates Gibran within his worldly contexts to unveil and analyse how the particular and the universal dialectically intersect in his multifarious work, including poetry, short stories, essays, plays and letters. What emerges is a post-religious poet who is both modern and critical of modernity, a creative but anxious bilingual writer, and a critical-nationalist intellectual embedded in the nahda or Arab renaissance. In its situated close readings of Gibran's work in both languages and across genres and contexts, the book reveals what is both absent and absented in its Anglo-American reception, demonstrating that there is much more to Gibran than his famous book The Prophet. It also probes this reception alongside its Arabic counterpart, highlighting and interrogating the multiple conditions of reading that have produced different functions of Gibran.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Skittering figures of urban legend-and a ubiquitous reality-cockroaches are nearly as abhorred as they are ancient. Even as our efforts to exterminate them have developed into ever more complex forms of chemical warfare, roaches' basic design of six legs, two hypersensitive antennae, and one set of voracious mandibles has persisted unchanged for millions of years. But as Richard Schweid shows in The Cockroach Papers, while some species of these evolutionary superstars do indeed plague our kitchens and restaurants, exacerbate our asthma, and carry disease, our belief in their total villainy is ultimately misplaced. Traveling from New York City to Louisiana, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Morocco, Schweid blends stories of his own squirm-inducing roach encounters with meticulous research to spin a tale both humorous and harrowing. As he investigates roaches' more nefarious interactions with our species-particularly with those of us living at the margins of society-Schweid also explores their astonishing diversity, how they mate, what they'll eat, and what we've written about them (from Kafka and Nelson Algren to archy and mehitabel). Knowledge soon turns into respect, and Schweid looks beyond his own fears to arrive at an uncomfortable truth: We humans are no more peaceful, tidy, or responsible about taking care of the Earth or each other than these tiny creatures that swarm in the dark corners of our minds, homes, and cereal boxes.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Avery Smith is an imaginative girl who likes to let her mind wander. Her adventures begin one Midsummer's Eve when she falls asleep on a hill that was once the site of a Celtic hillfort. She wakes up with a distorted memory of what could be a life-changing dream. It has cosmic significance. Avery cannot understand this dream on her own. Fortunately, she is helped by Maeve. A psychic researcher dressed in the clothes of a fairytale queen. Maeve has profound, almost mystical, knowledge of dreams. Maeve knows that the best dreams are stories and that Avery's story has only just begun. Soon Avery will become aware of even stranger folk and become aware of places and times beyond imagining. Places where the beings she encounters fill her with awe and where reality has become entangled with myth and imagination.Avery's reality is one of magic and mysticism: light and shadow. She confronts both dream and nightmare: trying to make sense of the mysterious. Avery imagines the world as enchanted. That's why she will soon receive a gift. One that will allow her to share her feelings of enchantment with others. This tale of dreamers, druids, and queens has been written for a wide readership including children, teenagers, and adults.…
