(P/B) MY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0198

Touring the United States in 1925, the Russian Futurist poet and propagandist Vladimir Mayakovsky observed at first hand what he considered to be the model for Soviet technological development. Writing in his typical declamatory style, he found much to celebrate in the modernised, industrialised America of the 1920s - creativity and advancement, a 'primitive futurism'. But he also decried the social injustices of uncaring capitalism, losing no opportunity to propound his own political beliefs. Presented here in full for the first time in ...

(P/B) ON NOT KNOWING GREEK
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0135

A selection of essays from one of the foremost writers of the Modernist movement and one of English literature's most perceptive writers of non-fiction. Taken from both volumes of Woolf's seminal The Common Reader, these ruminations on literary topics were expressly intended for the enjoyment of those who read for pleasure, rather than the critics at whom so much literary writing is aimed. Casting her expert eye over topics including Russian literature, the Elizabethan theatre and, particularly pertinently for a pioneer of Modernism, "Mode...

(P/B) THE PLATFORM OF TIME
MEMOIRS OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0146

Taking family, friends and servants as her subjects, Virginia Woolf here presents a series of impressions of the people around her. And as she describes their lives - including an in-depth piece on Julian Bell, who was killed in the Spanish Civil War, and sketches on Bloomsbury figures Lady Ottoline Morrell and Lady Strachey - she also reveals much about her own attitudes: to the War, to her writing, to education. The resulting work crucially augments what is currently available of Woolf's biographical writings. Edited and introduced by l...

(P/B) HERLAND
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0200

'"But they look - why, this is a CIVILIZED country!" I protested. "There must be men."' Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 1915 utopian novel Herland was a ground breaking work, in which she created an imaginary community populated entirely by women. An early feminist, writing the pioneering The Yellow Wallpaper, she paved the way for female writers and influenced authors such as Margaret Atwood. When three friends, Vandyck Jennings (the narrator), Terry Nicholson and Jeff Margrave, set off on a scientific expedition to one of the last uncharted p...

(P/B) SIGMUND FREUD
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0152

Freud is a figure needing no introduction, yet his reputation owes as much to myth as to the facts of his life and work. Despite his groundbreaking work on theories including the functioning of the subconscious, the repression of trauma, and the psychological import of dreams, he has frequently been the subject of derision and even ridicule. David Carter here uncovers the man buried beneath the mythology, tracing the life of this inimitable figure from his origins as the gifted first of eight children born to Jewish parents in mid-nineteen...

Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0051

'The scum of Greenwich Village, New York, has been skimmed off and deposited in large ladles on that section of Paris adjacent to the Cafe Rotonde. New scum, of course, has risen to take the place of the old, but the oldest scum, the thickest scum and the scummiest scum has come across the ocean, somehow, and with its afternoon and evening levees has made the Rotonde the leading Latin Quarter showplace for tourists in search of atmosphere.'

(P/B) THE LAST PIER
Εκδότης: HESPERUS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0957-0208

How deep the summer had bitten into the land that last August, how cruelly it had burnt into earth and grass and air. What had started out as a pastel and water-faded spring turning so unexpectedly into a splintering, shimmering thing. All that had been required was a spark to cause a fire. Why had no one noticed? The summer of 1939 broke the Maudsley family. Cecily was only thirteen years-old and desperate to grow up; desperate to be as beautiful and desired and reckless as her older sister Rose. Now, in her forties, the family resemblanc...
