Into it he poured his personal experience as an accomplished novelist and a committed teacher of fiction writing. In his foreword Raymond Carver a former student of Gardner's tells us that he gave to the teaching of fiction writing the same devotion to its craft and moral values that he gave to his own work. He also gave to it the rare encouraging spirit that marks his presence behind each sentence of this book. His main objective as he says early on is to try 'to deal with and if possible to get rid of the beginning novelist's worries.'"</b></font><br><br> Purchase with confidence: all books gradings and descriptions are rendered the care of a genuine bibliophile.

THE GREEK WAY OF LIFE From Conception to Old Age
Duckworth. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0715622617 . Foxing to top of textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Light shelfwear to DJ. ; 0.75 x 8.75 x 5.75 Inches; 272 pages; Garland's book is a survey of the major life experiences which constituted the social reality of classical Greece. The method of analysis is dense description assembled mostly from classical literary and philosophic sources and broken down into the general topics of conception and pregnancy birth childhood coming of age early adulthood and elders and the elderly. What emerges is a conception of the human being as a social animal par excellence whose nature was largely realized in the attainment of paradigmatic social roles: military service for men and childbearing for women. Among the subtopics are Greek medical ideas the roles of women and children marriage care of the elderly and the role of religious ideas. . Duckworth hardcover

Garland Robert
THE GREEK WAY OF DEATH
Cornell University Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 0801418232 . Minor edgewear to DJ top corners. ; Hardly any aspect of Greek culture of its religious and philosophical bases proves as revealing as its way of confronting human mortality and its observances in relation to the dead. Using both historical and anthropological approaches and sources both visual and written Garland describes the extensive and elaborate funerary rituals performed by the Greeks for their dead from the time of Homer to the fourth century BC. The book attempts to revive and re-live the complex texture of feelings provoked in the living by the dead as moment by moment the two shifted their ground in relation to one another. Death for the Greeks was not an instantaneous event rather a process or passage which required strenuous efforts on the part of the living to ensure that the dead achieved full and final transfer to the next world. The central questions which this book attempts to answer are: the extent to which death was a preoccupying concern among the Greeks; the feelings with which the individual may have anticipated his death; the nature of the bonds between the living and the dead; and the light shed by burial practices upon characteristic elements of Greek society. While the beliefs of ordinary Greeks about their ordinary dead from the book's central focus there is also a chapter on "special dead" - the unburied murderers and their victims children and suicides. ; 192 pages .
