Book Description
The protagonist of Charlotte Dacre's best known novel, Zofloya, or the Moor (1806) is unique in women's Gothic and Romantic literature, and has more in common with the heroines of Sade or M.G. Lewis than with those of Ann Radcliffe, Charlotte Smith or Jane Austen. No heroine of Radcliffe or Austen could exult, as Victoria does in this novel, that "there is certainly a pleasure...in the infliction of prolonged torment."
The sexual desires and ambition of Dacre's protagonist, Victoria, drive her to seduce, torture and murder. Victoria is inspired to greater criminal and illicit acts by a seductive Lucifer, disguised as a Moor, before she too is plunged into an abyss by her demon lover. The text's unusual evocations of the female body and feminine subject are of particular interest in the context of the history of sexuality and of the body; after embarking on a series of violent crimes, Victoria's body actually begins to grow stronger and decidedly more masculine.
Among the documents included as appendices to this volume are a selection of Dacre's poetry and excerpts from Bienville's Nymphomania, a medical treatise of the time aimed at a lay audience that fucuses largely on the dangerous powers of women's imagination; inspired by improper novels, it is alleged that women may plunge into madness, violence and death--much as does the protagonist of Zofloya herself.

A good study in Gothic Literature. Sex and violence galore........2003-01-24
Kim Ian Michasiw is the associate professor at my university (York U in Toronto!) and he's awesome. He brilliantly sets up his ideas in the introduction of this work and provides, as clearly as he can, something of a chronology (much is yet to be known about Dacre's life). The book is an interesting study in gothic literature and feminine writing circa Jane Austen.
Eighteenth-century trash, actually. Lots of sex and violence, elegantly written. Also interesting in its portrayal of race and the sexualization of "The moor". A perverse work, actually.
The Poisoned Pages.......2001-03-27
The text is of particular interst for its depiction of "subtle poison that which is extracted from and administered by books" (Dacre)The act of writing and reading are "sovereign poisons," an interesting notion from a woman writer in the early 19th century.
Two novels in one.......1998-12-01
This actually seems like two separate novels. The first section describes Victoria, a spoiled woman who's mother leaves her father for a libertine. The first Volume and a half describe her life and her attempts at becoming her own woman. But the telling is quick and boring. The second half tells of only a few months of Victoria's life, and her strange love for Zofloya, the moorish servant of her husband's brother. Fromt his point on, the novel becomes a harrowing tale of murder and revenge. Intensely violent, and very entertaining, the second half almost makes of for the rather lackluster beginning.

Lewis Little is less than thrilled when his summer plans change. Instead of staying in England as usual, he and his translator mum are off to Paris, where she has to do a rush job for an author of trashy medieval romances. At 13, the young hero of The Way I Found Her is already full of promise and notions, including the Exploding Peanut Theory of Beauty: "Beauty causes alteration. I'm talking about the beauty of women. Alteration may frequently result in some accident or other." His theory is to prove surprisingly prophetic. But though he thinks his mother's looks may well cause a life-or-death situation, her employer, Valentina Gavrilovich, is equally glam.
Despite his initial misgivings about Paris, Lewis is soon right at home--or as at home as he can be in a huge apartment filled with strange noises coming from supposedly uninhabited rooms. Almost instantly obsessed with Valentina as well as alive to the demands and deep pleasures of language, domestic and foreign, he decides to follow in his mother's footsteps and translate Alain-Fournier's novel of lost happiness, Le Grand Meaulnes. Valentina herself has some cogent things to say about the selfish arts of writing and reading, including, "When you begin a book and you already know in the first line that everything is in the past, this makes you worry so for the character." (A quick return to the opening of The Way I Found Her reveals the phrase, "I don't want to talk about the present.")
As the adults around him carry on with their jobs, romances, and intrigues, Lewis becomes increasingly cynical, particularly when it comes to his mother. As he tells himself, "Parents think they can time everything to suit themselves: they just don't see what they might be burdening you with." His mother's actions, however, become almost as nothing when Valentina suddenly disappears. At this point, The Way I Found Her turns into a curious hybrid--both a coming-of-age story and a thriller--and perhaps Tremain's strengths lie more with the former. Still, this book is an edgy exploration of responsibility, attraction, and betrayal. It is equally a loving evocation of literature's power. Lewis's takes on Le Grand Meaulnes and Crime and Punishment should send many in their direction; many others will turn to Tremain's odd and accomplished Sacred Country and Restoration.
Book Description
Rose Tremain's novels tells the story of Lewis Little and his seduction at the hands of the beautiful Russian émigré, Valentina Gavrilovich. Shining with wit and color, this luscious novel is a bittersweet valentine to love and loss.
Customer Reviews:
The Perfect Novel.......2005-09-28
This is a book to get lost in. Part coming-of-age story, part love story, part mystery. The author has created some of the most interesting characters in fiction. Although this book is a page turner, read it slowly to savor every word.
Tension through Character.......2004-05-01
When Lewis Little travels to Paris for the summer, he enters into a childish fantasy and primitive love for a stylish, Russian author. Valentina does utterly consume him as he becomes more estranged from his mother, Valentina's translator.
The inner world of this gifted and very hungry 13 year old boy is surprisingly not far from the meanderings of an adult. Only his simplistic, complete devotion to this plagairising goddess, who is far less a goddess than an aging overweight woman in the reader's mind, remains child-like. Some reviewers have noted the delayed plot while some have complained of the lack of a story line. I disagree. For it is through the characterizations of those who are attached to this elegant makeshift household, that true tension, verging on panic held me riveted to the book. There is the tangerine bewigged neighbor who could be either friend or foe in the ultimate deadly mystery that unfolds, an African housekeeper unfairly blamed for Valentina's accident who meddles with voodoo and speaks of revenge. There is the existentialist roofer, suspected but never confirmed as Lewis' mother's lover and there is a tender but poorly loved father, back in Devon, who is fond of teaching Lewis things that are depressed or otherwise unwanted knowledge.
All of these people fail to meet the immediate and ravenous hungers that drive Lewis, well past his age, into a tale of seduction, kidnapping and loneliness. The book wobbles into the rapids of post modernism by the Seine, in the City of Love.
Not Enough Superlatives.......2002-02-19
I really can't find enough superlatives to describe Rose Tremain's wonderful coming-of-age novel, The Way I Found Her. It's sweet, sexy, sad, funny, affectionate, tender, heartbreaking, engrossing and...perfect.
The Way I Found Her is the first-person narrative of Lewis Little's rite-of-passage from the world of childhood to the world of the adult. Rose Tremain has done such a masterful job of bringing Lewis to life, one would almost think The Way I Found Her was a memoir rather than a novel. There is a wonderful mix of the child Lewis still is and the adult he is rapidly becoming. And, this mix is not only charming and endearing...it's believable. For me, Lewis Little is far more "real" and unforgettable than many more famous (and more highly-touted) literary characters. I really felt I knew Lewis inside and out; I could feel his fear, his hope, his pain, his joy.
On its surface, The Way I Found Her may seem to be the story of a disappearance, but the disappearance itself actually plays a very small part in the story. Its importance lies in its impact on Lewis and in the way it changes him; this isn't a fun, little caper story, its definitely a portrait of one lovely and precocious boy's coming-of-age through his own "trial by fire." If there is one thread that runs through all of Tremain's novels, it seems to be one of isolation and loneliness. Lewis, like all of Tremain's protagonists is isolated and, in many respects, lonely.
Lewis Little is charming and he is forced, through no fault of his own, to give up much of the innocence of childhood during the summer we spend with him in Paris, but he still has far to go before fully entering the cynical world of the adult. This makes him a rather unreliable narrator and an even less reliable detective. He makes wild assumptions, he is led down false paths, he devises outlandish hypotheses. Sometimes these work out, but more often than not, they don't. Still, Lewis, in grand thirteen-year old fashion, is unfazed.
Those looking for a plot that races at breakneck speed should really look elsewhere. The Way I Found Her is, at its heart, an interior book. It is a chronicle of Lewis Little at age thirteen, (almost fourteen), and, as such, it is fascinating. Quite psychological and literary, The Way I Found Her bases its protagonist on an earlier one...one found in Le Grand Meaulnes, a very French book in which Lewis just happens to be engrossed. And, just as that book honored adolescence, especially male adolescence, so does The Way I Found Her.
The Way I Found Her is first and foremost a superb story, written by an author who possesses superb storytelling skills. But it is also an endearing portrait of a young boy poised on the brink of adulthood who wants to fly and yet knows that in that flying he will relinquish something precious and irretrievable.
The Way I Found Her is a book that tugs at your heart; Lewis Little is a character who burrows into your soul and stays there. This is a thoroughly enjoyable story and one that is also unforgettable.
Mystery, romance and literary intrigue.......2001-07-30
Like Lewis Little, the hero (?) of this novel, I too spent my thirteenth year wandering around the streets and cafes of Paris as though in a wonderland of adulthood before my time. Happily, however, I wasn't caught up in love with a Russian novelist thirty years older than me, or kidnapped by...
Rose Tremain has written a formidably intelligent romantic thriller, which evokes Paris perfectly, and says something important about the pain of adolescence. My favourite character is Didier the existentialist roofer. I loved his melancholy, and the way Lewis never had the heart to tell him that 'no one is an existentialist these days'.
I also loved the neatness of the plot, in which everything seems to foreshadow later developments. It had me staying up till the small hours, unable to put the book down.
I didn't care that Lewis, or the plot, are not entirely credible as 'real'. This is a novel, for heavens sake! Like the roof of the hospital chapel, where Didier accidentally killed his father, this book is a fantastic construction, to marvel at, not to pull apart.
my introduction to Rose Tremain.......2000-12-02
This is a delightful story of a 13 year old English boy, who travels to Paris with his mother who is to translate a book. Lewis Little is growing up, sometimes faltering between becoming a man and sliding back into childhood with its securities.
The first part of the book details his attachment to the author of romance novels, with whom he and his mother are staying. Just when you think that the novel is about his love for an older woman, and an interesting coming of age story, suddenly the object of his affections disappears.
He decides to take on the responsibility of finding and rescuing her.
I found this book really interesting and was fascinated by the world through Lewis' eyes. He was funny, sweet, heroic, emotional, embarrassing...everything that we all experience during puberty. I have two more of Rose Tremain's books on my shelf and look forward to reading them.

Good for exposure..........2003-09-07
...to older authors. If you read Gardner Dozois' anthology, you get a lot of the new writers, but this is where I first read some of Bester's work--great stuff.
Nice sampler for a beginning SF reader........2003-03-25
I'm the first to review this book. Hope this will be helpful to would be buyers.
This book is not very interesting for an advanced SF reader. Why?
Writers featured in this book are Asimov, Bester, Bradbury, Clarke and Norton. Good and popular writers, but their work is still very easy to come by. Want stories of Asimov? Buy his two-volume collection. Same for Bradbury, who has a very nice one-volume collection, and for Clarke and Bester. The stories in this anthology will tell you that these writers deserve to have a single-author collection on your bookshelves. Why buy stories you already own?
For starters then. Buy this book. Some stories in here are classics, others are mere filler. They point out to you their writers' vision. Still, it's your decision. The truth: There are better anthologies out there.
Whatever your decision, do check out the first item in this series. It's somewhat better.
I appreciate this series. A good Idea. You won't throw your money away.
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the life, times, and achievements of Averroes, a twelfth-century Muslim philosopher whose ideas were so controversial that his books were burnt not once, but twice. A fascinating introduction that covers all the key issues and underlines the importance of Islamic philosophy as a vital ingredient in contemporary Western culture.

Authentic tastes.......2000-06-20
A truly informative, lovely cookbook with great pictures, and most importantly, terrific recipes. The author has a real fondness for the region and knows her food. Cooking out of this book takes me back to one of my favorite regions of the world. A real winner!
Book Description
This is a pioneering study of bookends. Through 600 color photographs, bookends are displayed from their beginnings in 19th-century Europe, through their development in 20th-century America. Bookends are practical sculpture, and therefore reflect many of the artistic movements of their day; Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, Art Deco, International, folk art and traditional styles are covered here in depth. Bookends made of metal, wood, glass, and ceramics are shown, including a selection by Roycroft, Bradley & Hubbard, Roseville, and Rookwood. Information is provided about the sculptors who designed bookends, and about the foundries that produced their work. Promotional bookends made for advertising purposes are shown, as are handicraft and folk art pieces made by book lovers throughout the century. The bookends are indexed according to subject and manufacturer for easy reference. A current market price is provided for each design.

Customer Reviews:
Start your creative engines...!.......2002-06-04
Although this book is a very quick read, it immediately sets off your creative thought processes! It gives you just enough information and beautiful illustrations to starting you thinking
about your own artistic endeavors.
If you're looking for a step-by-step paper arts guide, this is not it. However, if you are familiar with various paper techniques, this book lists alternative ones and starts your creative mind working on new ones of its own! Author Welch certainly shows "the sky's the limit" with her various techniques!
Create works of art or play with your kids.......2002-01-26
Although I agree with the other reviewers that no technique is explored in depth, this is a wonderful introduction to lots of ways to decorate paper. The book is full of large color photographs of some of the most beautiful paper art I've seen. While I doubt that most beginners will produce the same quality of results, they should have a great deal of fun trying. Many of the techniques are suited for children, especially the bubbling technique. This involves coloring water, blowing bubbles in it with a straw, then pressing paper to the bubbles to make them pop and leave a circular mark on the paper, repeating to create a pattern. All my nephews and nieces should get a kick out of that one (even the fourteen-year-old boy!). A fun book.
Plentiful Paper Possibilities.......2000-10-11
This book provides an astounding overview of techniques and variations along with tons of color photos. No one technique is explained in much depth, and sometimes the exact materials or technique is not clear enough to be executed well on the first try. I was not able to use acrylic paint on wallpaper size to marble (I think I need to mordant the paper). Watercolors didn't work for suminagashi. The "absentee artist" technique took a lot of tries to get the right amount of paint and the right paint consistency. Despite these problems, I have had good luck after trial and error, and the book's myriad suggestions gave me the inspiration to experiment. I also was introduced to many techniques that I want to pursue further by looking at books on those techniques alone. This book provides a great introduction to the possibilities of paper as well wonderful photos. And my numerous "mistakes" have made great fodder for collage.
The Possibilities of Paper.......2000-03-31
Creative Paper Art provides a quick tour of approximately thirty different techniques for transforming paper surfaces. The generously illustrated book contains large color photos of the basic techniques as well as the techniques applied to completed projects. Brief and simple instructions introduce the techniques. Ms. Welch also provides bullet points of ideas to vary the techniques. Although this is not a detailed or in-depth exploration of any of the techniques, it provides a basic introduction and ample inspiration to encourage creative adventures using simple, inexpensive materials. Although I was looking for something with greater depth, I must admit the book is appealing and even served as a reminder to explore and push the basic techniques to achieve new results. I would especially recommend this book for individuals in the early stages of exploring paper arts or for those that need a reminder of just how many ways paper can be transformed.
Book Description
Lausberg's Handbook of Literary Rhetoric, here made available for the first time in English, received high critical acclaim on its first publication in 1963. It is a monumental work of extraordinary erudition, organisation and comprehensiveness, and enjoys unrivalled authority in its formal description of rhetorical techniques. The present edition is a translation of the second edition of 1973, which was reprinted in 1990. The Handbook has for many years been a standard reference work for all engaged in the study of literature and rhetoric. This translation will ensure its accessibility to a new generation of students of rhetoric.

A true collectable about a music great! .......2006-02-18
Who'd have ever thought that a kid from a working class Polish family would grow up to become not only a major innovator but also a superstar of country and western music?
I can remember my mother playing his Tennessee Waltz over and over again on an actual RECORD PLAYER (anyone still remember those?). What is especially fascinating is how he took the polka and mixed those rhythms with Western music. You wouldn't think it'd work but it did. Of course, back then, I knew nothing of King's background but I did know what I liked and The Tennessee Waltz was a favorite. I still feel nostalgic when I listen to his version.
Thank goodness that Wade Hall, the author of this biography ,had the good sense to let King tell the story of his life mostly in his own voice and words (the book is written in first person, although I'm sure the co-author strongly edited it for maximum impact) I was fascinated reading about how King found a way to set himself apart from the competition, a section of the book still worth reading today by aspiring country-western singers.
If you like many of the other major figures of the era - from Gene Autry to Roy Acuff and Hank Williams - you won't be disappointed. Anecdotes about them are also in this book.
He's been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame and is one of the most important contributors to country music. This book ought to be readily available but it isn't all that easy to find. I highly recommend you take a look at it!
No expose' no fireworks, just the simple truth.......1998-08-24
Wade Hall has the common sense to let Pee Wee King tell his own story. And it puts the lie to all the scholarly, self-important, opinionated works that have popped up with Country music's popularity. Pee Wee is a Country boy -- from South Milwaukee's Polish district. He appeared on barn dances in the South, like Chicago, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska. He played hardcore Country, like polkas, big-band sounds, hoedowns. He gave first breaks to Eddy Arnold, Roy Acuff, Minnie Pearl. He doesn't brag, but tells the truth about his own accomplishments.
And if all this authenticity stuff compares the "business" of Nashville now to the nostalgic "hillbilly" past, Pee Wee lets us know it was a business then just as it is now -- and they did what they had to do to make money.
The more things change ...
