Other reports of wild ape-men in ...

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 ...

William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)

Chelsea House Publishers, 2008

Brilliant and Untouchable
While some may think that good work should be "readable and enjoyable," great work is meant to elevate us. Stun us, amaze us, fill us with wonder. Otherwise, See Spot Run would be a masterpiece. William Faulkner is a writer the likes of which we may never see ...

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 ...
