Reuveni Amnon Original Text Revision; Nunhofer Nicholas and Boardman Terry Translation
In the Name of the "New World Order": Manifestations of Decadent Powers in World Politics
London: Temple Lodge Publishing 1996. Lt. shelf wear. Pages very good. Conventional wisdom tells us that present-day events are the effects of earlier material causes and that politicians have short-term strategies that are largely opportunistic. Based on the work of the seer and philosopher Rudolf Steiner the author considers that historical happenings have a spiritual origin and that occult forces and groups who have long-term plans for the future of humanity work to influence world events. Amnon Reuveni's survey of contemporary politics economics and history gives fascinating insights into the geopolitical goals of such groups. Included are studies on how Bill Clinton won the presidential election the forming of the Anglo-American alliance and the background work of Cecil Rhodes NATO's intentions for a new map of Europe the plans of secret brotherhoods for a replacement of the Cold War and the establishment of a New Holy Alliance in Europe. 148 pages.

Part history and part mythology "Beowulf" opens in the court of the Danish king where a horrible demon named Grendel devours men in their sleep every night.

Darkness at Noon
New York: Bantam Books 1970. Stated second Bantam edition. Moderate corner edge wear. Pages very good. Classic cover art. Stands as an unequaled fictional portrayal of the nightmare politics of our time. Its hero is an aging revolutionary imprisoned and psychologically tortured by the Party to which he has dedicated his life. As the pressure to confess preposterous crimes increases he re-lives a career that embodies the terrible ironies and human betrayals of a totalitarian movement masking itself as an instrument of deliverance. Almost unbearably vivid in its depiction of one man's solitary agony Darkness At Noon asks questions about ends and means that have relevance not only for the past but for the perilous present. It is--as the Times Literary Supplement has declared--"A remarkable book a grimly fascinating interpretation of the logic of the Russian Revolution indeed of all revolutionary dictatorships and at the same time a tense and subtly intellectualized drama." 216 pages. Paperback. Good. 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall. Book. Bantam Books Paperback

Reich's classic work on the development and treatment of human character disorders first published in 1933.As a young clinician in the 1920s Wihelm Reich expanded psychoanalytic resistance into the more inclusive technique of character analysis in which the sum total of typical character attitudes developed by an individual as a blocking against emotional excitations became the object of treatment. These encrusted attitudes functioned as an "armor" which Reich later found to exist simultaneously in chronic muscular spasms. Thus mind and body came together and character analysis opened the way to a biophysical approach to disease and the prevention of it. 545 pages. First Edition. Soft Cover.

Jean Cocteau Lily Pons Translation
The Blood of a Poet A Film By Jean Cocteau
New York: The Bodley Press 1949. Black cloth boards lt. blue titles moderate wear. Pages very good clean many aesthetic photos. Marbled endpage design w/ wave b.g. Ex-libris plate - Robert E. Barricklow Los Angeles further owner's inscription on flyleaf. Oblong design 9 1/2" x 8". Translator's note: When I first saw Jean Cocteau's film THE BLOOD OF A POET I considered it a rare experience in the realm of imagination. I was drawn to it again and again over the years. Imagine my delight therefore when I learned that Cocteau had published his scenario in book form and had written for it an exciting commentary. It proved once again that this film is one of the greatests classics of the advance guard cinema and a masterpiece among the wrritings of Cocteau. Since it has often been my pleasure in my career as a singer to introduce to American audiences many unusual French songs I take great pride in bringing to you now in the role of a translator this great piece of French visual music - THE BLOOD OF A POET. I believe that those of you who have seen the film will discover a new excitement in the following pages and those of you who did not will find an unforgettable experience in poetic and visual sorcery. - Lily Pons. A Hugo Edition of the Bodley Press. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Illus. by Dmitri Petrov Design. Book. The Bodley Press Hardcover
