"Philadelphia's high-school teacher/sometime sleuth Amanda Pepper I'd Rather Be in Philadelphia etc. dutifully escorts her mother Bea to a 50th birthday-party bash--an event paid for by playwright-TV producer Lyle Zacharias who wants all the important influences in his life at this party he's hosting at a small hotel. But those past relationships take on new significance when Lyle dies of poison after eating dinner. Bimbo-ish current wife Tiffany having an affair with actor-guest Shepard McCoy is underwhelmed with sorrow--ditto second wife Sybil in attendance with her and Lyle's teenaged son Reed. Terry Wiley a high-school pal whose work Lyle seems to have plagiarized and built a career on is there too and the father-daughter team who own the hotel might also have had a bitter score to settle with the charming satanic Lyle. Only aged Aunt Hattie seems truly grieved--as Amanda and her policeman friend McKenzie slowly pull together long-buried secrets to reach a tortured conclusion." -- Kirkus Review. First Edition.

Now Debbie was terribly alone as she faced the most frightening problem of her young life . . . EXCERPT: DREAM COME TRUE She had heard his voice before across a room or in a corridor. This was different. This time he was addressing her. His hand touched her hand. His head was bent to hers. She had never listened to a voice as thrilling as Alec's. She had a wild desire for him to speak her name. Almost but not quite she heard how it would sound in that spine-tingling voice . . . First Edition 1st Printing. Mass Market Paperback. Good.

‎Parrot Pie for Breakfast : An Anthology of Women Pioneers‎

‎"There is nothing quite like parrot pie for breakfast. First one must catch one's parrot, of course, and build the hearth to bake it, but that is all in a days work for the woman pioneer. This riveting anthology tells the story of over 100 such women spanning four centuries, from the lowliest kitchen skivvy to ambassadors" wives: emigrants who settled the wildernesses of the world in search of new and better lives. Many were lured abroad by the promise of work or fortune; some went because imperial duty called, while for others it was a most unfeminine lust for adventure that drew them away. But all faced challenges in their homes from home that were to test to the limit their spirits, their resourcefulness, even their survival." 177p. Book‎

‎Unsuitable for Ladies : An Anthology of Women Travellers‎

‎"Real ladies do not travel - or so it was once said. This collection of women's travel writing dispels the notion by showing how there are few corners of the world that have not been visited by women travellers. There are also few difficulties, physical or emotional, real or imagined, that have not been met and usually overcome by these same women. Jane Robinson's first book,Wayward Women, was a guide to women travellers and their writing, and having read over a thousand of their books she is uniquely qualified to compile this anthology. Life is never dull for her intrepid women, whether diving to the bed of the Timor Sea or reaching the summit of Annapurna. From an encounter with a snake in the Amazon jungle to shipwreck and kidnap on the Barbary Coast, there are tales of adventure, derring-do, and great danger. There are also moving accounts of unimaginable hardship, including caring for a family in an ammunition cart during the siege of Delhi and a journey through Tibet that leaves its author childless and widowed.There is no such thing as a typical woman traveller-and there never has been-as this exhilarating anthology shows on a journey of its own through sixteen centuries of travel writing, aboard almost anything from a Bugatti to a Bath chair. You are taken as far afield as it is possible to go, in the company of some of the most extraordinary characters you are ever likely to meet. " 471p. bibliography.index Book‎

‎Jules et Jim.‎

‎Reliure de Louise Bescond Paris, Gallimard, (mars) 1953. 1 vol. (125 x 190 mm) de 252 p., [1] et 1 f. Reliure souple en veau naturel teinté gris perle et estampé, tranches dorées sur témoins, couvertures et dos conservés (reliure signée de Louise Bescond, 2018). Édition originale. Un des 55 premiers exemplaires sur vélin pur fil (n° 6).‎

‎Exemple étonnant de premier roman écrit à l'âge de soixante-quatorze ans, Jules et Jim a inspiré un film célèbre à François Truffaut, qui adaptera également Les Deux Anglaises et le continent. « Je peux dire que la lecture, en 1953, de Jules et Jim, premier roman d'un vieillard de 74 ans, a déterminé ma vocation de cinéaste. J'avais 21 ans et j'étais critique de cinéma. J'ai eu le coup de foudre pour ce livre et j'ai pensé : si un jour je réussis à faire des films, je tournerai Jules et Jim. J'ai peu après rencontré l'auteur du livre que l'idée d'un contact avec le cinéma enchantait. Au début 61, j'ai pensé que le moment était venu de concrétiser ce vieux rêve. J'ai essayé de transposer fidèlement ce beau livre que l'éditeur Gallimard présentait ainsi : « Un pur amour à trois». » Avant d'être élevé au Panthéon du Cinéma français, le film échappe de peu à l'interdiction totale, pour sa prétendue immoralité. Il sort en France avec une interdiction aux moins de 18 ans. Jules et Jim est la célèbre histoire d'un amour à trois : Jules, un poète juif allemand séjournant à Paris avant la première guerre mondiale, rencontre Jim, poète français qui devient son inséparable ami. Ils font de concert quelques conquêtes féminines, jusqu'à ce que Jules épouse Kathe, allemande elle aussi, en visite culturelle en France également... l'amour de Jules pour Kathe ne fonctionnant vraiment que s'il est complété par celui de Jim... Monument fondateur du polyamour, il est largement autobiographique : Jules et Jim se sont rencontrés à Paris, alors qu'ils étudiaient ensemble. Henri-Pierre Roché va raconter l'histoire de leur amitié et de leurs amours entre la France et l'Allemagne à 10 000 lieues des soubresauts de la Grande Guerre. Jim, c'est lui, ou presque ; et Jules et Kathe sont directement inspirés par l'écrivain autrichien Franz Hessel et par Helen Grund (Berlinoise, fille d'un banquier prussien protestant) : ils sont les parents de Stéphane Hessel. Mais l'histoire remonte aussi à un peu plus loin : Henri-Pierre Roché fut un bourreau des coeurs, peintre, écrivain et marchand d'art qui rencontre en 1916 Marcel Duchamp. À Paris, Roché se faisait le mécène des femmes artistes qu'il séduit, fréquente le Montmartre du Bateau-Lavoir avant d'être missioné aux États-Unis par le Haut-commissariat de la République française chargé d'encourager l'entrée en guerre des États-Unis. C'est là qu'a lieu la rencontre avec Marcel Duchamp, alors la coqueluche des élites à New York. Duchamp vient de rencontrer Beatrice Wood, le 27 septembre 1916, pour laquelle il éprouve, tout de suite, un fort penchant... ce qui ne l'empêche pas de la présenter à Roché qui devient le premier amant - l'initiateur - de la jeune femme, tout en restant officiellement avec Marcel Duchamp. Cet étrange trio franco-américain, Roché s'en souviendra vraisemblablement aussi au moment de rédiger son roman, comme beaucoup d'autres histoires de sa prime jeunesse où, pendant ses études à Paris, entre 1898 et 1900, «Hachep», comme l'appelle Duchamp, mène «une double vie au cours de laquelle il enterre sa vie de garçon avec une rouerie systématique en abusant d'annonces matrimoniales [...] et diverses manipulations sentimentales qui resteront une constante de sa vie [...)]. L'expérience est assez déstabilisante pour qu'en mars sa mère l'envoie quelques semaines en cure hydrothérapeutique à l'institut Sonnenberg de Carspach en Alsace ».‎

Exemplaire sur papier d'édition (avec mention de 'vélin pur fil' en 4e de couverture). Envoi signe : « A Gerard Bauer, c'est le premier qui sort des presses, il est pour vous, tres inconditionnellement et avec toute ma vraie amitie, C. Rochefort » et au verso de la page de garde : « Je vous embrasse... ». Montee en tête : carte de visite de l'auteur , « Je ne vais pas vous téléphoner, mais vous, vous pouvez, a PYR.04.15 desormais. Amitie, C. Rochefort ».‎

‎Troisième roman de Christiane Rochefort, Les Stances à Sophie est une satire sociale. Et, comme souvent, elle a le mot juste. Comme Jacqueline Piatier, dans Le Monde, à parution, le décrypte bien, « les rôles sont distribués sans objectivité. Les mâles ont tort. Les bourgeois ont tort. Le capitalisme a tort, puisque c'est l'usage qu'il fait du progrès et non le progrès lui-même que Christiane Rochefort condamne (...) Elle s'est payé un beau dîner de têtes mâles. Et à nous elle procure un régal. C'est épicé, évidemment : beaucoup de gros mots, quelques situations scabreuses. Autant le dire tout de suite, pour éviter les effarements. Christiane Rochefort ne doit rien quant au style - quant aux idées non plus - à Chateaubriand. Elle est dans la postérité de Céline : elle n'en a pas la vision, mais la petite musique qui se faufile parfaitement dans cette longue parlée écrite. La voix qui retentit ici, on l'entend. Que manque-t-il à ce roman ? Si l'on cherche un Goncourt, en voilà un, et dont l'éclat ne sera pas fugace. » Le livre ne connaîtra pas cette postérité - il sera écarté de la liste finale de septembre, laquelle couronnera Quand la mer se retire d'Armand Lanoux. Gérard Baüer est alors membre de l'académie Goncourt, depuis 1948. Il donnera, deux ans plus tard, un long texte sur Rochefort, dans le numéro spécial que lui consacrera la revue Livres de France (n° 9, décembre 1965). De la bibliothèque de G. Bauër (ex-libris).‎

‎Gender and Nationalism in Colonial Cuba : The Travels of Santa Cruz y Montalvo Condesa de Merlin‎

‎Nashville TN U.S.A.: Vanderbilt University Press 1998. 317 pages. B/w illustrations. Index. Maria de las Mercedes Santa Cruz y Montalvo better known as la Condesa de Merlin 1789-1852 is arguably one of Cuba's most engaging authors; yet until now her works have gone largely ignored. From the viewpoint of feminist and psychoanalytical theory. Explores the many ways in which issues of gender have contributed to Merlin's virtual absence from the canons of literature and from the discourses on Cuban national identity. Merlin's double identity as both Cuban and French is symbolic of the Cuban exiled condition a fact taken up by contemporary exiled Cuban writers who see the countess as an alter-ego. Mendez Rodenas seeks to restore Merlin as the first woman writer in Cuban literary history to articulate a sense of national identity as well as being Cuba's first female historian. She focuses on Merlin's travel writings because they examine such issues as slavery independence nationhood the role of women education and local literature. Together her writings construct an alternative gendered history of nineteenth-century Cuba that must be acknowledged as both functional and authentic. 1st Printing. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Vanderbilt University Press hardcover‎

Soon after the fall of the Taliban in 2001 Deborah Rodriguez went to Afghanistan as part of a group offering humanitarian aid to this war-torn nation. Surrounded by men and women whose skills–as doctors nurses and therapists–seemed eminently more practical than her own Rodriguez a hairdresser and mother of two from Michigan despaired of being of any real use. Yet she soon found she had a gift for befriending Afghans and once her profession became known she was eagerly sought out by Westerners desperate for a good haircut and by Afghan women who have a long and proud tradition of running their own beauty salons. Thus an idea was born. <br><br>With the help of corporate and international sponsors the Kabul Beauty School welcomed its first class in 2003. Well meaning but sometimes brazen Rodriguez stumbled through language barriers overstepped cultural customs and constantly juggled the challenges of a postwar nation even as she learned how to empower her students to become their families’ breadwinners by learning the fundamentals of coloring techniques haircutting and makeup. Yet within the small haven of the beauty school the line between teacher and student quickly blurred as these vibrant women shared with Rodriguez their stories and their hearts: the newlywed who faked her virginity on her wedding night the twelve-year-old bride sold into marriage to pay her family’s debts the Taliban member’s wife who pursued her training despite her husband’s constant beatings. Through these and other stories Rodriguez found the strength to leave her own unhealthy marriage and allow herself to love again Afghan style. With warmth and humor Rodriguez details the lushness of a seemingly desolate region and reveals the magnificence behind the burqa. <i>Kabul Beauty School </i>is a remarkable tale of an extraordinary community of women who come together and learn the arts of perms friendship and freedom. .
