Paperback. English. Flamingo. 1998. In fair condition.Anton Chekhov's life was short, intense, and dominated by battles--either with his dependents or with the tuberculosis that was to kill him at forty-four. He was one of the greatest playwrights and short story writers ever born, but he was torn between medicine and literature, as he was between family and friends, between a longing for solitude and a need for company.Donald Rayfield spent more than five years combing the Chekhov archives all over Russia, uncovering thousands of documents and letters from lovers, friends, and family, most of them never published before. They tell of a life far more entangled and turbulent than we ever previously suspected, and in Rayfield's hands allow us to look past Chekhov's restrained, ironic facade to appreciate the full heroism of his brief but prodigiously creative life. Rayfield's biography combines an extraordinarily rich cast of characters--Gorky, Tolstoy, and Tchaikovsky, to name just three--with a vivid portrait of Russia and Russian society one hundred years ago. He also delves deeply into the emotions, ideas, conflicts, and experiences that Chekhov transmuted from his life into his enduring art.

Dark, at times cryptic, and hugely energetic' Irish Times "No!" is the first word of this haunting novel. It is how a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child, and it is how he answered his wife years earlier when she told him that she wanted one. The loss, longing and regret that haunt the years between these two 'No!'s give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. As Kertesz's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to bring into the world, he takes readers on a mesmerising, lyrical journey through his life, from his childhood to Auschwitz to his failed marriage.

Don Phillips has done it again... bringing Lincolns brilliant leadership to life. Lincolns brilliance is as relevant today as it was a century and half ago. George Bodenheimer, former president, ESPN, and author of Every Town Is a Sports Town How can President Lincolns wisdom be applied to the most pressing conflicts of modern-day America? With a characteristically fresh and perceptive reading of Abraham Lincolns own writings and speeches, best-selling author Donald T. Phillips reveals how Americas sixteenth president handled many of the same national dilemmas we face today. Looking to Lincolns exemplary leadership of a fractured nation, Phillips offers a deeply relevant analysis of how Lincolns example could help forge solutions to the many issues and divisions challenging our country now. [An] intelligent and often moving look at one of the nations greatest presidents... Using his extensive knowledge of Lincoln, Phillips makes convincing cases throughout for what the nineteenth-century statesmans opinion would be on a wide array of issues faced by the twenty-first-century United States, including climate change, torture, immigration, and equal pay for women. For readers who find present-day politics almost too much to contemplate, Phillipss closing vision of Lincoln witnessing the current state of affairs will be especially poignant and bittersweet.

Are we separate entities or are we unified entities individually expressing a singular essence?Neale concludes by asserting that our true nature is a combination of the two, physical and spiritual. He explains how this shift in thinking could offer a chance for humanity as a whole to change.

(This title is available on demand: expected date of dispatch will be 4-7 working days once ordered) A few years before the fall of the Berlin Wall, spook-turned-novelist Edwin Lemaster reveals to young journalist Bill Cage that he'd once considered spying for the enemy. For Cage, a fan who grew up as a Foreign Service brat in the very cities where Lemaster set his plots, the story creates a brief but embarrassing sensation. More than two decades later, Cage, by then a lonely, disillusioned PR man, receives an anonymous note hinting that he should have dug deeper. Spiked with cryptic references to some of his and his father's favorite old spy novels, the note is the first of many literary bread crumbs that soon lead him back to Vienna, Prague, and Budapest in search of the truth, even as the events of Lemaster's past eerily--and dangerously--begin intersecting with those of his own. Why is beautiful Litzi Strauss back in his life after 30 years? How much of his father's job involved the CIA? Did Bill, as a child, become a pawn? As the suspense steadily increases, a long stalemate of secrecy may finally be broken. Format:Paperback Pages:368
