Tolkien's creativity and the sources of his inspiration. Shippey shows in detail how Tolkien's professional background led him to write The Hobbit and create a timeless charm for millions of readers. He argues convincingly that the source of Tolkien's inspiration lay not just in his love of fable but in his love of language. While examining the foundations and literary structures of Tolkien's most popular work The Lord of the Rings in rich detail Shippey also discusses the contribution of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales to Tolkien's great myth cycle showing how the more "difficult" books can be fully appreciated. He goes on to examine the remarkable twelve-volume History of Middle-earth written by Tolkien's son and literary heir Christopher Tolkien which traces the creative and technical processes by which Middle-earth evolved."--Jacket ; Thomas Alan Shippey is a British medievalist a retired scholar of Middle and Old English literature as well as of modern fantasy and science fiction.

Good/Very Good. 1st Hippocrene edition 3rd printing ; xvi 1135 pages ; 24 cm ; ISBN 9780870529740 0870529749 ; OCLC23014830 ; Map on lining papers ; Translation of: Ogniem i mieczem ; brown cloth in color pictorial dustjacket ; Despite some deviations the book's historical framework is genuine and the fictional story is woven into real events. Many characters are historical figures including Jeremi Wisniowiecki and Bohdan Khmelnytsky Polish: Bohdan Chmielnicki. Sienkiewicz researched memoirs and chronicles of the Polish nobility or szlachta for details on life in 17th-century Poland. The book was written according to the author "to lift up the heart" of the Polish nation in the unhappy period following the failed January Uprising during the era of the partitions of Poland. Thus it often favors epic plots and heroic scenes over historical accuracy. Nonetheless Sienkiewicz's vivid language made it one of the most popular books about that particular place and era ; By Fire and Sword is a historical novel by the Polish author Henryk Sienkiewicz published in 1884. It is the first volume of a series known to Poles as The Trilogy followed by The Deluge and Fire in the Steppe. The novel has been adapted as a film several times most recently in 1999. ; Far more celebrated than any of his positivist contemporaries Henryk Sienkiewicz began as a journalist and achieved considerable renown with his account of a two-year journey to the United States. Between 1882 and 1888 he wrote three historical novels dealing with political and military events in seventeenth-century Poland: With Fire and Sword The Deluge 1886 and Fire in the Steppe 1888 also translated as Pan Michael. Although superficial in its analysis of historical events the trilogy gained enormous popularity both in Poland and in other Slavic countries thanks to Sienkiewicz's masterful use of epic techniques and of the seventeenth-century colloquial idiom. Even more popular if artistically far weaker was his Quo Vadis 1896 a novel about Rome in the age of Nero Sienkiewicz's fame in the West is chiefly based on this work. Another historical novel The Teutonic Knights 1900 deals with the fifteenth-century struggle between Poland-Lithuania and the Teutonic Order. Henryk Sienkiewicz was awarded The Nobel prize in Literature for 1905 "because of his outstanding merits as an epic writer". ; slight knock else G/VG <br/> <br/> Fort Washington, Pa. : Copernicus Society of America ; New York : Hippocrene Books [distributor], c1991. hardcover‎

So when Donald Sales's 22-year-old daughter is brutally murdered at law school he comes undone. In a fit of rage Sales tells the police that he suspects Eric Lipton one of his daughter's professors is the killer. And when the arrogant but brilliant Professor Lipton is found in possession of her bloody underpants Sales doesn't want the law professor in jail -- he wants him dead. Lipton's attorney is Casey Jordan. As a law professor Lipton knows quite well that anything he says to Casey cannot be used against him. Lipton adamantly denies murdering his young student and Casey believes him. To Casey the girl's father -- Donald Sales -- is a more logical suspect. His violent history makes Casey wonder if he is deranged by grief or by guilt. And when Casey discredits Sales on the witness stand and skillfully deflects the prosecution's attempt to connect Lipton with a series of similar murders Casey believes that justice is at hand. But then -- just as the jury hands its "Not Guilty" verdict to the judge -- Lipton leans over and tells Casey that he is in fact the killer. Then Lipton inexplicably disappears and more bodies begin to turn up. Casey must now decide whether to uphold her legal oath to protect her client.or join forces with an obsessed father who demands that a demented killer be brought to justice. --Source: Publisher ; Timothy Green was born in Liverpool New York on December 16 1963.

Anna is a fifteen-year-old girl slouching toward adulthood and she's had it with her life at home. So Anna "borrows" her stepmom's credit card and runs away to Los Angeles where her half-sister takes her in. But LA isn't quite the glamorous escape Anna had imagined. As Anna spends her days on TV and movie sets she engrosses herself in a project researching the murderous Manson girls-and although the violence in her own life isn't the kind that leaves physical scars she begins to notice the parallels between herself and the lost girls of LA and of America past and present. In Anna's singular voice we glimpse not only a picture of life on the B-list in LA but also a clear-eyed reflection on being young vulnerable lost and female in America-in short on the B-list of life. Alison Umminger writes about girls violence and which people society deems worthy of caring about which ones it doesn't in a way not often seen in teen fiction. ; Alison Umminger grew up in Arlington Virginia and as an undergraduate was the fourth woman to be elected president of "The Harvard Lampoon." Today she is a professor of English at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton Georgia where she lives with her family. "American Girls" is her first novel. ; FINE/FINE <br/> <br/> New York, NY : Flatiron Books, 2016. hardcover‎

Her new novel will do that again. "Acting Out" is the probing poignant and ultimately uplifting story of a woman caught between the life she thought she was supposed to lead and the dreams she gave up long ago. Ina West grew up independent and solitary raised by an artistic unavailable mother and a reliable loving father. As a twenty-something photographer Ina landed in Manhattan's bohemian art scene after college at the same time that she started dating the devoted hardworking Jay Robinson. When her mother's mental state began to deteriorate her closest cousin became dangerously ill and her free artist's lifestyle put her in some vulnerable situations Ina found comfort in Jay's trajectory into the safe privileged world of the African-American upper middle class. Forsaking her independence and creativity for the joys of family life and material wealth she married Jay had three children and moved to the suburbs; gradually Ina gave herself completely to motherhood and the upkeep of their increasingly luxurious lifestyle. And they had it all: the SUV the lavish home the expensive but casual wardrobe. Then one day after twelve years Jay comes home from work and announces that he's leaving. Amid her shock grief and fear a single clear truth emerges: though still physically present Ina herself had checked out of the marriage long ago. As she struggles with single motherhood reduced financial stability and the emotional roller coaster of her breakup Ina undertakes a journey of self-discovery with no sure destination. She moves to a smaller house rekindles an old love and takes up photography again. The old adventuresome independent Ina begins to resurface tempered by a self-knowledge borne of experience: she has learned how to look unflinchingly into her past and to determine what she wants for her future. Little delves into some of the most private and difficult questions people face. This moving ambitious and accomplished novel explores the fallout -- and the healing -- that can occur when the African-American dream crumbles and when a woman is torn between divergent lifestyle choices. Ina's story of loss and courageous self-revelation will resonate for any woman who has struggled with finding her path in life. --Source: Publisher ; ink mark on bottom of text block else VG/FINE <br/> <br/> New York : Free Press, c2003. hardcover‎
