Book Description
Set in late 1980s Europe at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall,
Black Dogs is the intimate story of the crumbling of a marriage, as witnessed by an outsider. Jeremy is the son-in-law of Bernard and June Tremaine, whose union and estrangement began almost simultaneously. Seeking to comprehend how their deep love could be defeated by ideological differences Bernard and June cannot reconcile, Jeremy undertakes writing June's memoirs, only to be led back again and again to one terrifying encouner forty years earlier--a moment that, for June, was as devastating and irreversible in its consequences as the changes sweeping Europe in Jeremy's own time. In a finely crafted, compelling examination of evil and grace, Ian McEwan weaves the sinister reality of civiliation's darkest moods--its black dogs--with the tensions that both create love and destroy it.

The scorpion and the dragonfly.......2007-08-28
Black Dogs contains massive amounts for such a slim volume. It is a stylish, elegant short novel that mixes in such a wealth of European culture, war, timescale, philosophy, ideology and character change that I couldn't quite believe the novel only amounts to some 160 pages.
Black Dogs is, unashamedly, a European novel of ideas. As Julian Barnes said, some people don't like finding ideas in novels, it is like discovering a toothpick in a sandwich (Nabokov was perhaps the most forthright proponent of this view). I happen to rather like ideas. Used wisely, they can infuse fiction with new angles, different approaches to the essential fictional subjects - stories, and the human condition that allows them to happen.
Despite the ambition though, I don't think the novel is one of McEwan's greatest. There is so much packed in that the main characters - Bernard and June, the couple on which the book is centred, don't have sufficient room to breathe. They come across more as paragons of particular ideas and personality types McEwan is interested in exploring - intellectual vs practical thinker, reason vs spirituality, subjective vs objective truth, scorpions v dragonflies (used in two separate, vivid scenes to show the difficulty of pinning down truth, and the cruelty humans are capable of inflicting).
Sometimes, in those sublime Proustian sentences McEwan is capable of crafting, the prose soars, such as the description of the fall of the Berlin wall: 'East Berliners in nylon anoraks and bleached-out jeans jackets, pushing buggies of holding their children's hands, were filing past Checkpoint Charlie, unchecked..Two sisters clung to each other and wouldn't be parted for an interview.' But too often the story is clogged by a little too much neat, earnest philosophizing, and not enough fictional passion.
The conflict of responding to conflict..........2006-05-01
McEwan again assembles an artful masterpiece of characters and events that the reader cannot help but internalize as though it were a chronicle of his own struggle. Narrated with insight by a son-in-law who recognized the raw embattlement we all encounter when we find ourselves evolving around the love that once defined us. Bernard and June, once the subjects of a passionate love story, find themselves changing as any person would with age and education; but the ongoing change in each, in how the world is seen and how what is seen is responded to, becomes irreconcilable with the other, leaving in the dust of a trail their relationship but not their love or respect for each other.
Another exilerating installment from a genuine gift to our language, McEwan again demonstrates what the written word is capable of.
An early gem.......2006-01-16
There simply is no such thing as a bad -- or mediocre, for that matter -- McEwan book. McEwan uses the backdrop of the fall of the Berlin wall to serve as a historical context to his examination of the lives of June and Bernard Tremaine. While on her honeymoon, June experiences a life-altering event with two black dogs that takes her on a lifelong spiritual path. Her relationship with her husband Bernard, a committed member of the British Communist party, will never be the same. McEwan uses this splintered relationship as a touchpoint for an examination of matters of the soul and matters of the mind. In McEwan's world, the two are capable of co-existing, but barely. We can only surmise that the wall's fall and the resultant diminishment of Communism tips McEwan's hand in terms of where he comes down on this relevant argument and metaphor. As with all of McEwan's books, the action can take place on numerous levels and playing fields. The language, as always, is beautiful; every sentence a gem.
Bull's eye.......2006-01-08
Set in post second world war Europe (mostly France) and extending to the late eighties, Ian McEwan's Black Dogs is the memoir of protagonist Jeremy, who diligently sets about to chronicle the lives of his in-laws, Bernard and June Tremaine. Jeremy was an orphan with a proclivity for insinuating himself into the families of his friends and, lately, his wife.
As we see in McEwan's Atonement, Black Dogs is also about the writing of a novel. Jeremy attempts to set the record straight about his in-laws, intellectuals on opposing surfaces of the same coin. June is a romantic, a mystic, who sees life as a journey through the inner space of reflective meditation and personal awareness. Her husband is an organizer, a thinker who feels the world can be set right only through the right application of right ideas. Since both June and Bernard would rather be right than happy, and since neither could see the conceit and limitations of their own viewpoints, they wasted a lifetime of love in separate but parallel existences.
The black dogs, the central allegorical feature of the novel, are either a fact, a historical event that evolved out of the depravity of humankind (dogs tend to be rather like their handlers), or they are more symbolic features, a mythological construction representing evil, manifest as personal depression and cultural depravity. Could they be both?
Could Bernard, the arcane intellectual who would rather spend hours talking about the plight of the poor than a half our in their company, could he be a courageous, understanding man after all? Where does love go, after it has filtered through a thousand grand but irrelevant arguments? How do we stumble upon who we are and how we got here?
McEwan is a delight to read. He has exceptional insight into human frailty and how it plays out in personal and national tragedy. His prose is razor sharp and his palette is rich and warm. The voices he gives his characters will remain with us.
An Ominous Commentary on the Lurking Threat of Evil.......2005-05-07
Ian McEwan proves once again in BLACK DOGS to be a master of literary understatement, a writer whose power (like that of fellow Brit Kazuo Ishiguro) derives from an ability to thread hints of mindless evil through even the most well-heeled, socially-ordered circumstances. In McEwan's modern world, newlyweds, happy families, and prosperous businessmen and professionals live, often blissfully unaware, on a cliff edge, always just a short step from a precipitous drop into loss or chaos. Even the most comfortable lives are far more fragile and more easily disrupted than those who live them ever imagine.
In BLACK DOGS, McEwan has trained his sights on the world-shattering events of the mid-20th Century, from World War II and the rise of fascism and communism to the fall of the Berlin Wall. He chooses as his narrator a young man named Jeremy, orphaned at an early age by an auto accident, raised by his older sister (herself trapped in a dysfunctional marriage), and bookishly educated in an English prep school. Inordinately attached to the parents of his school friends, Jeremy meets and marries Jenny Tremaine and becomes equally, if not more attached, to Jenny's free-spirited, socially and politically liberal parents, Bernard and June. It is Bernard and June who provide the core of this novel, their story unfolding on dual tracks through Jeremy and Bernard's attendance at the fall of the Berlin Wall and Jeremy's interviews with June as background for publication of her memoirs.
Throughout the novel, McEwan hints at a transformational event in June's life, something that occurred when she and Bernard were newlyweds hiking through south France. Because of this mysterious event, which took place near a dolmen, an ancient tomb or burial ground, June had abandoned communism for a form of religious mysticism, she and Bernard separated (but never divorced) for nearly their entire adult lives, and they bought a country home near the site of the life-changing incident. McEwan alludes repeatedly to black dogs and the story of the local village mayor, but it is not until the end that we learn the nature of the event itself. More significant, we learn the source of these ominous black dogs and their historical and metaphorical meanings. Only in the last third of the book does the true horror of those amorphous dogs come to light, and even then, McEwan leaves their meaning ambiguous - perhaps real, perhaps the lewd imaginings of a few country farmers. Similarly, June's transformation can be seen as realization of life's fragility or as a religious epiphany with echoes of the lightning that struck Saul in the New Testament and converted him to Paul the Apostle.
McEwan's message is inescapable. Whether we view life through a rational, scientific lens or a religious, mystical one, we must be on guard against the emergence of evil, whether modestly benign or umimaginably malevolent. The human potential for evil rests within everyone, and it lurks at the fringes of society, hidden from sight like black dogs roaming a sparsely-populated countryside, until we turn a corner and stare it face to face. How we respond (compare June's direct actions to Bernard's simultaneously intellectualized ponderings over a parade of caterpillars) says everything about who we are, how we influence the course of events around us, and how those events affect us (could Jenny's atrophied sixth finger be a byproduct of June's experience with pure evil at the dolmen?). BLACK DOGS masterfully contemplates the issues of good and evil and faith versus rationalism while leaving readers plenty of room to argue either side. The pacing is almost too controlled, but the resulting explosion of irrationality into an ordered world is all the more powerful for it.

Book Description
Julius LeVallon and its sequel, The Bright Messenger, form a union of two novels that deal with elemental spirits, ancient races, reincarnation and the supernatural world of Nature. As Mike Ashley says in his introduction, "these two novels...are the culmination of a lifetime's experience...you will encounter nothing like them anywhere else in the whole of fantastic literature."

Forgotten masterpieces.......2005-12-24
It's often said that Algernon Blackwood's novels are less successful than his shorter works, but you wouldn't know it from these two rare and (almost) forgotten masterpieces. "Julius LeVallon" and "The Bright Messenger" are both supernatural novels that show Blackwood at his most inspired, visionary, and audacious. Stark House Press is to be thanked profusely for putting these unique works into print once again.
"Julius LeVallon" may well be Blackwood's best novel. It is visionary with a capital "V", presenting (via the title character) a cosmic panorama of reincarnation, karma, civilizations on other planets, nature elementals, magic - plus a little romance. I won't go into the details of the story - it must be read - except to say that it all builds to one of Blackwood's most potent and memorable climaxes.
"The Bright Messenger" is a sequel to "Julius LeVallon" which takes place some 20 years later. It's a little less focussed than the earlier novel and not as powerful, but it is just as visionary, and even more intensely moving. Again, no brief description of the book can possibly do it justice - it simply has to be read. (And if anybody thinks that there's anything "new" about the New Age movement, they should read the hilarious chapters in the middle of the book - written in 1921! - about a group of people known as the "Prometheans"...)
I can do no better than to quote Mike Ashley's fine introduction: "You will encounter nothing like [these two novels] anywhere else in the whole of fantastic literature." Amen to that. Essential reading for any fan of Blackwood, or of supernatural literature in general.

"No Easy Answers".......2000-04-02
Being the Parent of a L.D. (Learning Disabled)Child, I found the hardest part of the entire process to be finding a doctor who could accurately access my child's disability and then finding guidelines to help him grow to his fullest potential. My Early Childhood Development Doctor gave me "No Easy Answers". This book has been the ONLY one which accurately describes my son's problems and which precisely offers guidelines for his education and for living successfully with him. This is our bible on how to best communicate with our Son, how best to integrate him successfully into our family of six, and how to foster his strong points and nurture his weaknesses. I whole heartedly recommend this book for any parent struggling with a child with neurological difficulties. There is hope for our children. This book sheds some light into an otherwise overwhelming task. Good Reading!

Another photo album of a mediocre collection.......2007-07-29
I own this and the Care Bear book by the same authour, and they are essentially the same thing - barely passable photographs of common items, often not in very good shape, and worse still, often mislabeled. So, rather than learning things from this book, you will be blatantly misinformed. The impression I get is that this authour (she has "written" more than 50 of these collector guides) is simply cashing in on some hot collectible before anyone else with a better collection and better information can.
makes me angry but i still need a good inventory!.......2007-02-01
so this book was a disappointment but I must say that i did enjoy (and still do) looking at all the pictures of old toys I used to own; now that said- the dolls are out of order, alot of the names are incorrect, the author will have three pages of dolls and then a page of plush and then go back and show more dolls! some of the rarest dolls are not even included like plum pudding; alot of the toys in the picture are dirty and are wearing the wrong clothes; finally, the prices do NOT reflect online auctions, antique or vintage toy shops or any toy collector show I have been too- this book is horrendous- but again- there really isn't any other SSC inventories out there except the three hurried thrown together books that this author released. i wish someone would get together with me to make a better one! geese!
So bad it's humorous!.......2006-09-18
This book is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe someone in their right mind would publish a book on a subject they obviously know nothing about! Is she lacking some vital section of the brain, or was she just out to exploit SSC for profit? Any serious SSC collector will cringe over this book. The front cover shows a SSC Berrykin dressed in regular SSC clothes, and a Mint Tulip doll paired with a Party Pleaser Marsh Mallard. The pictures are bad quality, dolls are dirty and nude, and the rare stuff isn't pictured. I mean, geeez... could you have at least done a little research?!? The second two books are supposed to be better in some people's opinions, and she did get smart and pair up with someone who actually collects SSC.. but the books are still lacking. I should publish a book myself! Maybe I will :) Until then, don't waste your money on this worthless "price guide."
Don't even consider this book!.......2002-11-14
This book is truly AWFUL. The author should be ashamed of herself. The pictures show incomplete and dirty dolls, dressed in the wrong clothes, paired with the wrong pets. It couldn't be worse if you tried. If you're interested in Strawberry Shortcake, there are many websites with the correct information and prices. The sad thing is so many people go by the prices in this book, which are also incredibly WRONG.
Loaded with colorful examples........2001-09-28
As a veteran antiques & book dealer, I found this price guide about average. It has nice color photos of a variety of items and realistic prices. It's a little light on text though for the 16.95 price.

Great starting place!.......2000-12-01
I first encountered this book in the library and checked it out so many times that I finally gave in and bought my own copy. I've made gifts using the instructions and patterns in this book, and found that the guidelines and levels of difficulty ratings are dead accurate. I've used this book as a springboard to go further into this craft.
One word of advice - I have found origami paper the best suited paper for most of these projects. Regular silhouette paper is hard to come by and expensive. Construction paper is much too thick, hard to cut, and usually not acid-free.
Neat little book, aroused my interest in a new to me craft.......1999-02-21
This is a very nice first book for someone who thinks they might be interested in paper cutting. It reviews different countries approaches to paper cutting. It contains patterns and directions for lots of different projects. Best of all, it has things simple enough to convince you to try the craft out while at the same time including enough complex, exciting projects to fire your imagination. The Polish style was particularly appealing to me and I've ordered 2 books on that type of cutting.

This book is sadly lacking!.......2007-10-14
I was so totally disgusted by the photography, the layouts and the
story line! My Williams and Sonoma catalog came the same day and
I am sad to say it was over the top better then this book! PATHETIC!
Disappointed.......2007-03-28
I thought about buying this book for months. I expected sophisticaed and unique projects which would excite me but did not find them. The projects are basic. Yes, the house is very beautiful and shows well. If you are interested in a decorating book this may be for you.
Beautiful! .......2006-08-12
Inspiration abounds in this book~I love how it features the same rooms, accessorized differently for the seasons. That is my favorite way to decorate~
Also, if you love old homes and restoration, this book provides inspiration for that as well. Wonderful! And the chandeliers, oohlala!
I really love it!.......2006-07-06
Maybe the best book I ever had, so beautiful layout and pictures, wonderful feelings!
Fresh/Creative Ideas for a Beautiful Old House........2005-11-04
Midwest of Cannon Falls (Minnesota) (...) is a company built around holiday and seasonal decorations. They produced this book to illustrate what can be done in the way of decorating a home to show its best during each of the four seasons, during many of the holidays we celebrate.
Part of the magic about this book is the house used as the background for the decorations. It's a beautiful house, beautifully restored. One thing you have to thank the folk there for doing is saving this house that had been abandoned and was scheduled for demolition. They then moved the house to their location and did a great restoration job.
The rest of the book is a set of delightful picture ideas. While it's unlikely you would ever duplicate it exactly, the ideas in the book are fresh and creative. Now all that you need is a nice old house like River House.

A Fake Giant in a World of Pygmies?.......2001-02-18
Hugo Friedhofer, one of the great Hollywood film composers, was more than the consumate musician. His wit and his loving personality are shown in this engaging book. His analysis of music, composers, producers, films, actors and actresses is captivating. Hugo worked with George Gerswhin, was close friends with Oscar Levant and had Bud Powell play piano in his living room!
In his interview for the Film Music Archive, Hugo Friedhofer tells it like it is, and the book shows that he is not fake, but was a real giant in the Hollywood that used to be littered with talent and quality. Even if you know little about film music, this book is great history of the Hollywood of yesterday.

A rare look at a fascinating composer's life!.......1999-06-26
It's so satisfying to learn about the life of the film composer who wrote the score to such movies as "The Best Years of Our Lives," "The Adventures of Marco Polo" and "The Young Lions" - some of my favorite Hollywood film scores. Much of this book contains the story of Hugo Friedhofer as told by himself through interviews and his own personal correspondence. With droll and witty comments and a collection of truly wonderful photos Ms. Danly has truly presented a well-thought-out book. Hugo was well-respected by everyone in Hollywood (he had a photographic memory and a reputation for knowing the classical literature to a fault) and now with this biography we know why.
