"Maxine Kumin's practical yet sensual New England reflections are a gift to any lover of the country." —The New York Times Book Review
A magical novel about loneliness, love, and the profound connection between mother and daughter, Eva Moves the Furniture fuses the simplicity of a fairy tale with the complexity of adult passions.
An expanded edition of Isaiah Berlin's classic of liberalism. Writing in Harper's, Irving Howe described it as "an exhilarating performance - this, one tells oneself, is what the life of the mind can be."
"[A] lovely madeleine of a book" (The New York Times) about the intertwined lives of the sixties' most gifted young foursome.
From one of the chief literary critics of modern France, a book that bridges mainstream literary history and Genette's expertise in critical method by undertaking an intensive study of the most vexed of literary problems: language as a representation of reality.
Sharp and authoritative, Truth manages to touch every period of human experience; it leaps from truth-telling technologies of "primitive" societies to the private mental worlds of great philosophers; from spiritualism to science and from New York to New Guinea. |

This masterful biography of Hungarian-born Paul Erdos is both a vivid portrait of an eccentric genius and a layman's guide to some of this century's most startling mathematical discoveries.
These fifteen essays take as their points of departure such approaches as deconstruction, feminism, critical theory, hermeneutics, pragmatism, and psychoanalysis, as well as phenomenology and existentialism.
Elegantly-crafted reflections on exile and memory from five award-winning authors: Andre Aciman, Eva Hoffman, Bharati Mukherjee, Edward Said, and Charles Simic.
The world-renowned epidemiologist Devra Davis confronts the public triumphs and private failures of her lifelong battle against environmental pollution. By turns impassioned and analytic, she documents the shocking toll of a public-health disaster -- 300,000 deaths a year in the U.S. and Europe from the effects of pollution -- and asks why we remain silent.
A harmoniously interwoven collection of perspectives that provides a deep sense of the powerful role that the notion of possibility can play in every aspect of life, The Art of Possibility is "as applicable in the workplace as it is in an intimate relationship" (The Boston Globe).
This is the stunning new collection of twelve stories by Lorrie Moore, one of our finest authors at work today. With her characteristic wit and piercing intelligence she unfolds a series of portraits of the lost and unsettled of America; her trademark humor fuels each story with heartbreaking pathos and warm understanding. |
