Smith, Lloyd
The Sun for a Hat
365 pages. A public health inspector spends twenty-five frustrating years trying to be of service to his community (Victoria, British Columbia). At fifty he resigns and goes in search of a more satisfying life. He finds it in tropical Northern Queensland. This is his story. It is a novel and an anthology. Essays, verses, short fiction, travel, observations, character sketches. It is the compellingly written, informative, enlightening, thought-provoking, always entertaining experience of a man with intelligence, wit, and humour. The reader will find that she/he is seeing himself and his own community, because this book is not just about a small Canadian city or one corner of the sunny South Pacific. Nor is it just about one man's escape from a frustrating job. It is a forthright assessment of a society in trouble by a man who has a wider view because he deliberately stepped outside. Average wear. Unmarked. Book

SOLOMON HARRY M...POPE ALEXANDER ABOUT
RAPE OF THE TEXT: READING AND MISREADING POPE'S ESSAY ON MAN
University Alabama Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1993. Original ed. Hardcover. 9.4 X 6.3 X 1.0 inches. VERY GOOD CONDITION IN VERY GOOD UNCLIPT DUST JACKET.appears to be new in original shrinkwrap.; Ancient philosopher dust jacket cover art.all on dark green dust jacket. ; 256 pages; First published in 1733-1734 An Essay on Man Alexander Pope's best-known philosophical poem was highly praised by many of Pope's European contemporaries including Voltaire Rousseau and Hume. The poem divided into four Epistles deals with the nature of man and his place in the universe man as an individual man in society and man in pursuit of happiness. Voltaire called An Essay on Man "the most beautiful most useful most sublime didactic poem" in the English language but what was formerly regarded as the pinnacle of 18th-century poetry now languishes largely unread or misread as a quaint period piece. Harold Bloom recently described the Essay as a "poetic disaster" of "absurd theodicy". The Rape of the Text deconstructs the history of criticism of An Essay on Man to account for and to reverse over two hundred years of deformation and trivialization of Pope's text by literary critics .

The author explores the end of the ancient world and the closure and destruction of its monumental libraries, and describes the formation, of the great monastic libraries, such as St. Catherine`s on Mount Sinai, the Monastery of Studius in Constantinople, the group of monasteries on Mount Athos and the famous library in the Monastery of St. John on Patmos. Finally, he examines all the known palace, public, university and private libraries in the whole of the Byzantine Empire, and discusses the booktrade as well. New book.
