The time is shortly before the fall of France -- and with that fall imminent a whipping into frenzy of nati onalist spirit- be it French or British- and the resultant enlistments proving only too often an artificial escape from boredom from unemployment from pauperism. Against this unstable setting is told the story of Florentine who worked at the Fiv e and Ten and who thought that in Jean Levesque she had found escape from the tenement of her crowded home into the fire of that grand passion of movies and cheap novels. Florentine was different- but disillusionment fear and a pathetic eagerness to put her home and family behind her combine to break down the little prides she'd nourished.- And only at the end when having said goodbye to Emanuel who had saved her she has another chance with Jean -- and turns aside -- she finds that once again her self esteem means more to her than the tawdry trimmings of passion. The writing is perceptive vivid -- the story marches -- most of the characters live. " ; book club edition ; a reading copy only ; foxed ; POOR New York : Reynal & Hitchcock, 1947. hardcover

It has been edited with the needs of English-speaking users in mind students teachers business people and casual linguists. What is furigana and why is it so important Furigana refers to the small kana that are printed above or alongside kanji to show the pronunciation of the Chinese character. With furigana superscripts the beginner who is familiar with hiragana and katakana is able to read even the most difficult and obscure kanji at a glance. Other dictionaries either provide little or no guide to kanji readings or romanize some or all of the Japanese words and sentences. In the past romanized dictionaries were of some value to students using textbooks that contained no Japanese script. Now however an increasing number of influential curricula around the world are based on a rationale and methodology that demands the introduction of hiragana and katakana from the earliest stages. Learners and their teachers studying under such curricula will inevitably feel more comfortable with a dictionary such as Kodansha's Furigana English-Japanese Dictionary one that shows the pronunciation of kanji with familiar and authentic kana script." ; AS NEW This listing contains text in Japanese JIS fo nts æ±äº¬ï¼š 講談社インターナショナル ; New York ; London ; Tokyo : Kodansha International, 2001. unknown

After twenty years working in the Orient -- interrupted by three years of activity in Chicago--he settled in Honolulu in 1960. He brought with him from these previous experiences priceless riches and memories reflected in all of his contemporary work. He emerged from the same artistic and cultural milieu which nurtured Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Gyorgy Kepes with whom he enjoyed a personal and artistic friendship.
