Dunning, Jennifer
Alvin Ailey: A Life in Dance
Reading MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company. As New in As New dust jacket. 1996. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0201626071 . First Edition First Printing stated August 1996. The Da Capo edition was not published until September 25 1996. Publisher's laminated photographic boards endpapers yellow. Illustrated with B&W photographs. Now for the first time the life and work of Alvin Ailey one of the most beloved figures in modern dance is examined by a writer uniquely able to place him and his legacy in perspective. Jennifer Dunning New York Times dance critic and reporter brings her expertiseextensive research and a compassionate intelligence to this larger-than-life personality making Alvin Ailey not just a portrait of a man but also of his time.Aileys story is the stuff of legend. His Revelations one of the great American dance classics is said to have been seen by more people than any other work in dance history. Yet the small-town-culture that is at the heart of his finest work was absorbed by a child growing up in devastating poverty neglected by a loving but exhausted mother who raised him alone. Aware of his homosexuality from his teens Ailey lived and worked in the unusually accepting world of the theater but sometimes hid his sexuality as if he had never left his conservative family and Southern church. An athlete in his youth and a member of a profession that idealizes physical perfection Ailey abused his body with alcohol and later drugs. Surrounded by admiring friends he felt alone. Yet against great odds Ailey pulled the pieces of this life together to create a passionate mosaic of art and dance giving birth to an indispensable institution that continues to play a joyous vibrant role throughout the world. Dunning shows us how Ailey took the essence of his experienceswhether from the driving rhythmic music that poured from the local Dew Drop Inn on hot Saturday nights or the simple motion of men beating the water to drive back snakes during his baptismand translated them into masterpieces.Filled with stunning photographs and hundreds of interviews with those who knew him including such stars of dance and theater as Mikhail Baryshnikov Judith Jamison Lena Horne Katherine Dunham Sidney Poitier and Dustin Hoffman Alvin Ailey is the story of a man who wove his life and his culture into his danceand into the fabric of America itself. .

Morris, Dr Peter (pseudonym of John Gibson Lockhart)
Peter's Letters to his Kinsfolk Three Volumes Complete
London and Edinburgh: William Blackwood T. Cadell and W. Davies. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1819. Second Edition. First Printing. Leather. This is the second collected edition of John Gibson Lockhart's satirical letters written as Dr Peter Morris in half-leather over marbled boards recently professionally rebacked with the original spines laid on. The spines are in six compartments separated by raised bands with gilt borders gilt lettering on black leather labels in one compartment new endpapers. Illustrated with 18 engraved vignettes and portraits of certain eminent gentleman including Sir Walter Scott. Includes a Postscript to the Third Edition addressed to Samuel Taylor Coleridge at the rear of Volume III. While stated to be the Third Edition it is in fact the Second Edition the First Edition having been styled as the Second Edition in keeping with the facetous nature of the project. "In this work of epistolary fiction Dr Peter Morris a Welshman travels to Scotland and connects with the important personages of the age. Penetrating and lively character sketches are the highlights of his letters to friends and relatives in Wales. As one of the most important chronicles of early nineteenth-century life in Scotland Peter's Letters can be seen as the 'biography of a culture' Hart 46." DNB The three volumes are comprised of 77 letters lampooning Edinburgh society from the mischievous pen of John Gibson Lockhart with the assistance of John Wilson. The Letters quickly became essential reading not least for their unequivocal mockery of some of the leading writers of the day most notably the members of the "Cockney School" many of whom he had earlier lambasted in the pages of Blackwood's Magazine. Lockhart directed particular scorn at Leigh Hunt and William Hazlitt declaring them to be "by far the vilest vermin that ever dared to creep upon the hem of the majestic garment of the English muse." According to Sir Walter Scott who had published the first edition of "Paul's Letters to His Kinfolk" in 1816 the work offended some "by its truth." John Gibson Lockhart 1794-1854 was a Scottish writer and editor. He is best known as the author of the definitive biography of his father-in-law Sir Walter Scott which has been called the second most admirable in the English language after Boswell's Life of Johnson. Lockhart married Scott's eldest daughter Sophia in 1820. John Wilson 1785-1854 was a Scottish advocate literary critic and author the writer most frequently identified with the pseudonym Christopher North of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. He was professor of Moral Philosophy at Edinburgh University 1820-51. Professionally rebacked with original spines laid on; corners mildly bumped moderate foxing throughout; original binder's Johnton of Edinburgh label on fep; two small old bookseller's labels on fep and ffep of volume one Bateman & Kiddie of Hastings otherwise unmarked and square.

Remnick, David
The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama
NY: Alfred A. Knopf. As New in As New dust jacket. 2010. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. 1400043603 . No story has been more central to Americas history this century than the rise of Barack Obama and until now no journalist or historian has written a book that fully investigates the circumstances and experiences of Obamas life or explores the ambition behind his rise. Those familiar with Obamas own best-selling memoir or his campaign speeches know the touchstones and details that he chooses to emphasize but nowfrom a writer whose gift for illuminating the historical significance of unfolding events is without peerwe have a portrait at once masterly and fresh nuanced and unexpected of a young man in search of himself and of a rising politician determined to become the first African-American president. The Bridge offers the most complete account yet of Obamas tragic father a brilliant economist who abandoned his family and ended his life as a beaten man; of his mother Stanley Ann Dunham who had a child as a teenager and then built her career as an anthropologist living and studying in Indonesia; and of the succession of elite institutions that first exposed Obama to the social tensions and intellectual currents that would force him to imagine and fashion an identity for himself. Through extensive on-the-record interviews with friends and teachers mentors and disparagers family members and Obama himself David Remnick allows us to see how a rootless unaccomplished and confused young man created himself first as a community organizer in Chicago an experience that would not only shape his urge to work in politics but give him a home and a community and that would propel him to Harvard Law School where his sense of a greater mission emerged. Deftly setting Obamas political career against the galvanizing intersection of race and politics in Chicagos history Remnick shows us how that citys complex racial legacy would make Obamas forays into politics a source of controversy and bare-knuckle tactics: his clashes with older black politicians in the Illinois State Senate his disastrous decision to challenge the former Black Panther Bobby Rush for Congress in 2000 the sex scandals that would decimate his more experienced opponents in the 2004 Senate race and the storyfrom both sidesof his confrontation with his former pastor Jeremiah Wright. By looking at Obamas political rise through the prism of our racial history Remnick gives us the conflicting agendas of black politicians: the dilemmas of men like Jesse Jackson John Lewis and Joseph Lowery heroes of the civil rights movement who are forced to reassess old loyalties and understand the priorities of a new generation of African-American leaders. The Bridge revisits the American drama of race from slavery to civil rights and makes clear how Obamas quest is not just his own but is emblematic of a nation where destiny is defined by individuals keen to imagine a future that is different from the reality of their current lives. Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect pristine condition; unread unmarked tight square and clean. AS NEW/AS NEW. Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. 672 pp . Alfred A. Knopf hardcover

Maps on endpapers. Illustrated with B&W portraits and maps by the author. Includes extensive Glossary. This is the sixth volume in Colleen McCullough's massive Roman epic "The Masters of Rome" a life of Gaius Julius Caesar covering not only his career but also the periods immediately before and after Caesar. McCullough's seven books in her "Masters of Rome" series are perhaps the finest historical novels based on Roman history that have ever been produced and provide the reader with unequalled absorption into Roman life suspense excitement and minutely accurate Roman history. In this sixth volume Gaius Julius Caesar is at the height of his stupendous career. When he becomes embroiled in a civil war between Egypt's King Ptolemy and Queen Cleopatra he finds himself torn between the fascinations of a remarkable woman and his duty as a Roman. Though he must leave Cleopatra she remains a force in his life as a lover and as the mother of his only son. Caesar now dictator of Rome is determined not to be worshipped as a god nor to be crowned king but his unique circumstances make it appear otherwise. Caesar's enemies masquerading as friends plot to destroy him. Among these traitors are his cousin Marc Antony the jealous Gaius Cassius and his long-time mistress Servilia's son Marcus Brutus. All of them owe everything to Caesar and all betray him. With her extraordinary knowledge of Roman history Colleen McCullough brings Caesar to life as no one has ever done before. She surrounds him with an enormous and vivid cast of historical characters characters like Cleopatra who call to us from beyond the centuries for McCullough's genius is to make them live again. "The October Horse" brings to life the passion genius and tragedy of an incomparable man.
