"Most of the borders are leaf and stem but among the leaves hiding or beckoning climbing or leaning out are girls and men kings and boys priests and nuns who take part or seem to be commenting upon the stories.the pattern continues affectionate and cheeky erotic enjoyable and relevant decorative and explanatory a balance of taste and eye. Borders are repeated sometimes in new combinations. One other quality in these borders should be noticed- their mannerism the distortion of human figures sometimes so that they almost share the forms of leaf and stem- and sometimes grow from them. It is another rather touching aspect of Gill's idea and all these manners work towards a single art- the poetry people leaves decoration and explanation."

2013Best.-Nr. 2341029Echo Point Books & Media LLC 2013. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Fine. 6x0x9. Brand new from publisher. 2013 Trade Paperback. 224 pp. Thirteen short stories by the legendary author of The Man in the High Castle and other science fiction classics. Philip K. Dick didn't predict the future―he summoned the desperate bleakness of our present directly from his fevered paranoia. Dick didn't predict the Internet or iPhones or email or 3D printers but rather he so thoroughly understood human nature that he could already see even at the advent of the transistor the way technology would alienate us from each other and from ourselves. He could see us isolated and drifting in our own private realities even before we had plugged in our ear buds. He could see even in the earliest days of space exploration how much of our own existence remained unexplored and how the great black spaces between people were growing even as our universe was shrinking. Philip K. Dick spent his first three years as a science fiction author writing shorter fiction and in his lifetime he composed almost 150 short stories many of which have gone on to be adapted into slightly watered down Hollywood blockbusters. Collected here are thirteen of his most Dickian tales funhouse realities with trap doors and hidden compartments. Echo Point Books & Media, LLC paperback books

2008Best.-Nr. 2341392Oxford: Oxford University Press 2008. Reissue. Trade Paperback. Fine. 7x1x5. New. Reissue. An exceptional copy. 2008 Trade Paperback. lvii 480 pp. Oliver Twist is a classic tale of a boy of unknown parentage born in a workhouse and brought up under the cruel conditions to which pauper children were exposed in the Victorian England. With this novel Dickens did not merely write a topical satire on the workhouse system and the role of the 1834 New Poor Law in fostering criminality. He created a moral fable about the survival of good a romance and a gripping story in which he exploited suspense and violence more effectively than any of his contemporaries. The new Oxford World's Classics edition of Oliver Twist is based on the authoritative Clarendon edition which uses Dickens's revised text of 1846. It includes his preface of 1841 in which he defended himself against hostile criticism and includes all twenty-four original illustrations by George Cruikshank. Stephen Gill's groundbreaking introduction gives a fascinating new account of the novel. He also provides appendices on Dickens and Cruikshank on Dickens's Preface and the Newgate Novel Controversy on Oliver Twist and the New Poor Law and on thieves' slang.

Binding tight and square pages clean bright and unmarked. 2011 Trade Paperback. 111 pp. John Gill provides a revealing insight into how Haynes confronts issues of race sexuality and class in a suburban 1950s American neighbourhood. Haynes has been evasive when pressed for a definitive explanation of his film although as Gill contends he has left enough evidence lying around on screen for the keen viewer to pick up on numerous disturbing strands at work beneath the glossy surface of this sumptuously presented weepie. While it may affect to pass as a classic of the genre Haynes's ultimate aim Gill contends is to undermine the nature and notion of cinema and storytelling.

An exceptional copy. xlvi 89 1 pp. Translated into English from the original Greek by Christopher Gill. A fascinating discussion on sex gender and human instincts as relevant today as ever. In the course of a lively drinking party a group of Athenian intellectuals exchange views on eros or desire. From their conversation emerges a series of subtle reflections on gender roles sex in society and the sublimation of basic human instincts. The discussion culminates in a radical challenge to conventional views by Plato's mentor Socrates who advocates transcendence through spiritual love. The Symposium is a deft interweaving of different viewpoints and ideas about the nature of love - as a response to beauty a cosmic force a motive for social action and as a means of ethical education.
