The Man Without Qualities (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)
Chelsea House Publishers, 2004
Quality of Man
Of all the great European novelists of the first third of the century -- Marcel Proust, James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Thomas Mann, Knut Hamsun, Herman Hesse -- Robert Musil is far and away the least read; and yet he's as shapely as Gibbon, as mordant ...
1897 Sears Roebuck Catalogue
Roebuck & Co.; Perelman, S.J.; Rovere, Richard; Israel, Fred L., Editor Sears
Chelsea House Publishers, 1968
Valuable Reference
I have spent hours going through this historical catalog. This reproduction shows what was being sold and used in 1897 and from a sociological standpoint, the desires and needs of the people of the time only differ from the present with improved technology. Oddly the ...

The Member of the Wedding (Bloom's Guides)
Chelsea House Publishers, 2004
Eloquent, lovely, and sad
This is my very favorite book and, in my opinion, far superior to "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter." I was not an adolescent when I read it--I was 23--but I was astonished by how often McCullers was able to perfectly describe what I had believed to be indescribable ...
