‎Charles Wilson (1939- )‎

‎Silent Witness‎

‎304 pages. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's quarter red cloth with gilt letting to sine over black boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition.<br />Wilson follows his startling debut in last year's <i>Nightwatcher </i>with another twisted tale of passion and murder in central Mississippi. Here the rape/killing of teenager Julie Richardson ensnares first her next-door neighbor Jack Mueller a prime suspect even if he hadn't already years ago been accused of assaulting a teenager and then rapidly Jack's wife Leigh Ann her old flame Mark Ramsey and Mark's half-brother foursquare police chief Ray Hopkins. Mark's fight to clear Jack isn't helped by Jack's suicide—or by the story's detour into an investigation of some neighborhood boys who may have witnessed the murder and who may be acting out grisly rituals of their own. Appealing characters strong situations and fast-moving prose. But the story is cluttered by subplots that make the final revelation both incredible and obvious.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b> Near fine in like jacket. Carroll & Graf Publishers, Inc hardcover‎

Gossip columns claimed Charles paid more attention to his gardens than his wife. The Garden at Highgrove takes readers on a tour of Charles`s favorite creation--a maze-like garden surrounding the estate where he has primarily lived for the past 20 years. Various styles thrive within the boundaries of the property: wildflower meadows formal hedgerows outdoor rooms carefully plotted tapestries of Queen of Night tulips. If Diana complained of neglect Highgrove`s landscape looks like it has been lavishly doted on. In one series of photos we see the transformation of a large plot viewed from the house as it has been completely erased and re-created year to year. Who has time to complete and then entirely redo a garden on a regular basis A prince of course. Although the landscape glows with a vibrant almost artificial green Charles has long been a committed organic gardener. In the introduction he recalls the period when he came around to the cause of environmentalism. While driving through a declining English countryside in the 1960s and 1970s "I remember longing to heal the countryside to bind up its wounds and to reclothe it in its rightful form." The Garden at Highgrove will inspire gardeners even those who don`t live in palaces who are looking for images of elegance and can`t afford a staff to keep the hedges perfect. --Emily White" ; Candida Rose Lycett Green was a British author who wrote sixteen books including English Cottages Goodbye London The Perfect English House Over the Hills and Far Away and The Dangerous Edge of Things.

Rispetto alla gelida purezza dei suoi esperimenti di parodia sistematica, le versioni occidentali dell'assurdo appaiono timide.‎

‎Chatanay Raymond R.‎

‎Nouvelles historiettes. Ediz. italiana‎

‎brossura "Nouvelles historiettes" sarà il decimo libro di Raymond R. Chatanay, il secondo pubblicato da Youcanprint. La finzione e la realtà si uniscono per dipingere un ritratto poco lusinghiero delle cosiddette élite che pensano di guidare il mondo. Queste élite che portano la piccola astronave che è la Terra, alla distruzione totale. In effetti, il mercato, con le sue leggi illogiche, è diventato il nuovo credo, la nuova e selvaggia religione che si espande esponenzialmente come il petrolio che fugge da un pozzo gigante. Nel frattempo, il mondo intero è felice che una sonda spaziale sia arrivata su Marte. I micro e macro residui di plastica saranno forse benvenuti su Marte, le balene e tutta la fauna marina e terrestre ne hanno fatto con la forza delle cose la loro zuppa quotidiana, su questo vecchio pianeta. Forse i marziani ne apprezzeranno il sapore.‎

‎Chateaubriand François-René de‎

‎Atala-René‎

‎br. Tutta l'opera di Chateaubriand è percorsa dallo sgomento davanti alla fatale corruzione dell'essere. Questa ossessione si concretizza, in "Atala", nella figura della maternità che genera morte: legata dalla madre al voto di castità, la giovane Atala si uccide per non infrangerlo. In "René", la cupa visionarietà dell'autore capovolge le collaudate strategie del romanzo di formazione: la coscienza, nel protagonista, precede ogni forma di esperienza, anzi, la rende impossibile. Percorsi dentro di sé tutti i sentieri dell'ignoto, egli rimane immobile; è un uomo "senza qualità" ante litteram, prototipo di una stirpe di personaggi che attraverseranno l'Ottocento e anche il Novecento.‎

‎Chateaubriand François-René de; Fumaroli M. (cur.)‎

‎Amore e vecchiaia‎

‎br. Definiti da Sainte-Beuve una "confessione delirante" e dal curatore medesimo (autore di uno dei libri più importanti su Chateaubriand che mai siano stati scritti) "un capolavoro incompiuto, inconfessabile e destinato alla distruzione", questi frammenti posseggono - a ogni frase, a ogni respiro del pur brevissimo testo - la violenza straziante della verità: nel rifiutare la giovane donna che gli si offre, il vecchio scrittore ci svela, sull'amore e sul tempo, sulla nostalgia e sulla memoria, molte più cose di quante ce ne abbiano dette in lunghe pagine schiere di verbosi romanzieri.‎

‎Le avventure dell'ultimo degli Abenceragi. Testo francese a fronte‎

‎br. Scritta nel 1810 e rimasta per molti anni inedita, la novella "Le avventure dell'ultimo degli Abenceragi" conclude la prima grande stagione narrativa di Chateaubriand. Con una successione di quadri e di miniature, sullo sfondo di Granada, non più araba, non ancora cristiana, la novella racconta l'impossibile amore tra un cavaliere musulmano e una giovane nobildonna, divisi dalla diversa religione e dalle faide familiari.‎

‎CHATTERTON-HILL Georges Dr‎

‎Moloch England !. Was Deutschland im Fall eines englischen Sieges zu erwarten hätte. Irlands Schicksal als,Warnung für Deutschland.‎

‎Gordon-Verlag. Dresden. (Ohne Jahr. 1917). 56 Seiten. Originalbroschur. (Vortitelblatt mit Besitzerstempel versehen). 20x14 cm‎

‎* Selten. Erste Ausgabe. First edition ! ----- George Chatterton-Hill (1883?1947) was the Irish writer of several books on evolution and sociology. He wrote at the start of the 20th century, when the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work, had created turmoil over Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. He was also very influenced by the writings of Herbert Spencer regarding evolution and society, and of Benjamin Kidd regarding society and religion. He emphasises the impossibility of liberalism, which recommends individual freedom insofar as it does not restrict the individual freedom of others. The objection, he says, is that it is inconsistent with competition. Liberalism, he says, is not possible in the context of evolutionary theory, given man's ceaseless urge for expansion which conflicts with the idea of equality for all. In reality, he claims, the superior group or class always oppresses the inferior masses, who eventually revolt. All revolutions result simply in the replacement of the ruling class by a new ruling class. He refers to the German concept of Rechtsstaat, and his ideas reflect the prominence of social Darwinism of the time. Chatterton-Hill spent World War I in Germany out of Irish nationalist sentiment and corresponded with Roger Casement. He was said to have worked for German politician Matthias Erzberger as his private secretary according to Charles Curry's book and described there also as "born in Ceylon of an Irish father and native mother but never to have put foot on Irish soil". "He was ... married to a German lady, and lived in Germany for some time prior to the outbreak of [the Second World War]. When war broke out he was actually in hospital, suffering very acutely. He was allowed out of hospital by the Germans in January or February, 1940, but was immediately put into a concentration camp, where he was labelled as an undesirable alien. He was kept there until January, 1941, when, on account of the very extreme state into which his health had got, ... it was thought that he would be better outside than in. He had no means of earning his livelihood, and engaged himself in translating the British news into German for the Germans in Berlin. This, presumably, went on, ... until the end of the war when [the British] arrived in Berlin. Chatterton-Hill died on 12 January 1947. His German wife was airlifted to the United Kingdom on 19 February 1947 sent to a hostel in Renfrewshire and given an ex gratia payment of £1,084 which enabled her to have an income of a 35s. a week annuity.

‎I racconti di Canterbury‎

‎brossura Nell'Inghilterra del XIV secolo un gruppo di pellegrini diretti alla tomba di Thomas Becket a Canterbury si intrattiene raccontandosi una serie di novelle. È questa la cornice dei ventuno Racconti di Canterbury , composti tra il 1386 e il 1400. Benché l'opera - un caposaldo della letteratura universale - sia rimasta incompiuta, queste novelle costituiscono una grandiosa e multiforme epopea della società medioevale inglese. E grazie alla rara dote di penetrazione psicologica dell'autore diventano qualcosa di più del pur notevole e vividissimo affresco storico: si trasformano nella rappresentazione simbolica dell'itinerario spirituale dell'uomo lungo il cammino della vita.‎
