In this exquisitely written memoir, poet Patrick Lane describes his raw and tender emergence at age sixty from a lifetime of alcohol and drug addiction He spent the first year of his sobriety close to home, tending his garden, where he cast his mind back over his life, searching for the memories he'd tried to drown in vodka Lane has gardened for as long ожсче as he can remember, and his garden's life has become inseparable from his own A new bloom on a plant, a skirmish among the birds, the way a tree bends in the wind, and the slow, measured change of seasons invariably bring to his mind an episode from his eventful past What the Stones Remember is the emerging chronicle of Lane's attempt to face those memories, as well as his new self—to rediscover his life In this powerful and beautifully written book, Lane offers readers an unflinching and unsentimental account of coming to one's senses in the presence of nature.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 272 стр ISBN 159030389X.

John Reibetanz captures the ordinary details of life -- family and friendship, birth and death -- and transforms them into the extraordinary His seventh book of poetry is a masterful collection, finely crafted with wit, warmth and affection Transformations is divided into four parts, each providing a different perspective on the main theme In ожсшь the opening sequence, Reibetanz evokes the ethereal world of Greek and Aboriginal mythology to explore the confusion of daily life, working out the connections between our cultural paradigms of change and the actual transformations we experience Next is the art of language, as the poet plays with words and images "I'm fascinated with how words provide means of interpreting change that are themselves transformative," he says In the two remaining sections, which centre on communal response to change and transformation in the natural world, Reibetanz's topics range from the blues of Robert Johnson to "the tiny mice who live backstage in my computer " Choosing not to confront but to explore, he allows for subtle revelations of a deeper truth which hover just beneath the surface, turning the world upside down and right side up again with his poetic "transformations " The result is nothing short of magical.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 136 стр ISBN 0864924585.

The idea of Heimat (home, homeland, native region) has been as important to German self-perceptions over the last two hundred years as the shifting notion of the German nation While the idea of Heimat has been long neglected in English studies of German culture--among other reasons because the word Heimat has no exact equivalent in English--this ожсьо book offers us the first cross-disciplinary and comprehensive analysis, in English or German, of this all-pervasive German idea Blickle shows how the idea of Heimat interpenetrates German notions of modernity, identity, gender, nature, and innocence Blickle reminds us of such commonplace expressions of Heimat sentimentality as Biedermeier landscapes of Alpine meadows and castles on the Rhine, but also finds the Heimat preoccupation in Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud Always aware of the many literary representations of Heimat (for instance in Schiller, HA¶lderlin, Heine, Kafka, and Thomas Mann), Blickle does not argue for the fundamental innocence of Heimat Instead he shows again and again how the idealization of a home ground leads to borders of exclusion Peter Blickle is associate professor of German at Western Michigan University.  2004 г Мягкая обложка, 198 стр ISBN 1571133038.

A deft reconstruction of what Georges Bataille envisioned as a continuation of his work La Somme AthA©ologique, this volume brings together the writings of one of the foremost French thinkers of the twentieth century on the central topic of his oeuvre Gathering Bataille's most intimate writings, these essays, aphorisms, notes, and lectures ожсэб on nonknowledge, sovereignty, and sacrifice clarify and extend Bataille's radical theology, his philosophy of history, and his ecstatic method of meditation Following Bataille's lead, as laid out in his notebooks, editor Stuart Kendall assembles the fragments that Bataille anticipated collecting for his summa Kendall's introduction offers a clear picture of the author's overall project, its historical and biographical context, and the place of these works within it The "system" that emerges from these articles, notes, and lectures is "atheology," understood as a study of the effects of nonknowledge At the other side of realism, Bataille's writing in La Somme pushes language to its silent end And yet, writing toward the ruin of language, in search of words that slip from their meanings, Bataille uses language-and the discourses of theology, philosophy, and literature-against itself to return us to ourselves, endlessly The system against systems is in fact systematic, using systems and depending on discourses to achieve its own ends-the end of systematic thought A medievalist librarian by training, Georges Bataille (1897-1962) was active in the French intellectual scene from the 1920s through the 1950s He founded the journal Critique and was a member of the AcA©phale group and the CollA?ge de sociologie Among his works available in English are Visions of Excess (Minnesota, 1985), Tears of Eros (1989), and Erotism (1990) Stuart Kendall and Michelle Kendall are freelance translators who live in Stony Brook, New York.  2004 г Мягкая обложка, 305 стр ISBN 0816635056.

Sheldon Zitner summed up his career in a seven-word poem: "Here lies, as usual, a Jew d'esprit " The genial wit of "Trial Epithet" informs the whole of this deeply moving collection by a poet and scholar whom A F Moritz describes as "a man of the world in the best sense " Whether he is celebrating life's infinite creativity, ожсъб recognizing the joy imprisoned in a wheelchair-bound man, or affirming art's mission to outlast atrocity, Zitner unswervingly follows Rilke's injunction to join "work of the eyes" with "heart-work " In the collection's title poem, Zitner states that "we invent the world we love, /and like the painter's eyes, our own/persuade the hard discrete details/ to surrender to a luminous belonging " Throughout this wonderful collection, many such revelatory moments are caught and many details rendered with equal luminosity In the poem he titled "Return from School after the Storm (1939): Soutine" about the artist's famous painting where two children walk across a stormy field in 1939, Zitner observes the stormy sky, the flailing brush strokes, and suggests that the tempest of war is about to break upon their world: "Their home lies far beyond the frame/and they will not return in time/for the church bells tolling the invasion,/or the killings and the long privation /They are trudging towards us hand in hand,/two innocents " Writing completely without sentimentality, Zitner nonetheless composed his poems with an underlying tenderness and a sadness always held in check by his characteristic urbanity and his epigrammatic wit The Hunt on the Lagoon is Zitner's final work These last poems, and all his poems, are things into which he breathed his spirit, and where he can still be met A poet to the last, The Hunt on the Lagoon is a fitting monument, an inspired book about absence and loss, about the transience of bliss.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 102 стр ISBN 0864924461.

The Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s has been popularly perceived as a genocide attributable to the British government In professional historical circles, however, such singular thinking was dismissed many years ago, as evidenced by the scathing academic response to Cecil Woodham-Smith's 1963 classic, The Great Hunger, which, in addition ожсыш to presenting a vivid and horrifying picture of the human suffering, made strong accusations against the British government's failure to act And while British governmental sins of omission and commission during the famine played their part, there is a broader context of land agitation and regional influences of class conflict within Ireland that also contributed to the starvation of more than a million people This remarkable book opens a door to understanding all sides to this tragedy with an absorbing history provided by novelist Colm Toibin that is supported by a collection of key documents selected by historian Diarmaid Ferriter An important piece of revisionist thinking, The Irish Famine: A Documentary is sure to become the classic primer for this lamentable period of Irish history AUTHORBIO: Colm Toibin is the author of four novels (The Blackwater Lightship was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1999) andis currently a Fellow of the Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library Diarmaid Ferriter received his PhD in modern Irish history from the National University of Ireland in 1996 He is the author of two histories of Ireland and lectures at St Patrick's College, Dublin City University.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 224 стр ISBN 1861974604.

Told with arresting candor, Leslie Greentree's short fiction creates the satisfying sense of discovering someone's long-kept secret, or the guilty pleasure of overhearing a scathing conversation A housewife indulges in monthly purchases of specialty vinegar and savours her romantic fantasies about the local grocery store manager; a daughter ожсьщ catches glimpses of herself in the face of her mother's suffocating attentions; a minor astronomer accumulates star charts and wasted nights rather than tender moments with his wife A Minor Planet for You explores the often wry, sometimes dark but consistently fragile constellations of human relationships Intricately and subtly developed, a smart irony permeates these stories Gloria Sawai Leslie Greentree's stylistic see-sawing between comedy and tragedy is one of the main reasons why this book is hard to put down Lisa Grekul.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 208 стр ISBN 0888644655.

Walter Benjamin was one of the most original and important critical voices of the twentieth century, but until now only a few of his writings have been available in English Harvard University Press has now undertaken to publish a significant portion of his work in definitive translation, under the general editorship of Michael W Jennings This volume, ожсэг the first of three, will at last give readers of English a true sense of the man and the mans' theets of his thought A separate volume will consist of his book The Arcades Project, the magnum opus of his Paris years The writer Walter Benjamin emerged our of the head-on collision of an idealistic youth movement and the First World War, which Benjamin and his close friends thought immoral He walked away from the wreck scarred yet determined "to be considered as the principal critic of German literature " But the scene as he found it was dominated by "talented fakes," so-to use his words-"only a terrorist campaign would I suffice" to effect radical change This book offers the record of the first phase of that campaign, culminating with "One-Way Street," one of the most significant products of the German avant-garde of the Twenties Against conformism, homogeneity, and gentrification of all life into a new world order, Benjamin made the word his sword Volume I of the Selected Writings brings together essays long and short, academic treatises, reviews, fragments, and privately circulated pronouncements Fully five-sixths of this material has never before been translated into English The contents begin in 1913, when Benjamin, as an undergraduate in imperial Germany, was president of a radical youth group, and take us through 1926, when he had already begun, with his explorations of the world of mass culture, to emerge as a critical voice in Weimar Germany's most influential journals The volume includes a number of his most important works, including "Two Poems by Friedrich HA¶lderlin," "Goethe's Elective Affinities," "The Concept of Criticism in German Romanticism," "The Task of the Translator," and "One-Way Street " He is as compelling and insightful when musing on riddles or children's books as he is when dealing with weightier issues such as the philosophy of language, symbolic logic, or epistemology We meet Benjamin the youthful idealist, the sober moralist, the political theorist, the experimentalist, the translator, and, above all, the virtual king of criticism, with his magisterial exposition of the basic problems of aesthetics Benjamin's sentences provoke us to return to them again and again, luring us as though with the promise of some final revelation that is always being postponed He is by turns fierce and tender, melancholy and ebullient; he is at once classically rooted, even archaic, in his explorations of the human psyche and the world of things, and strikingly progressive in his attitude toward society and what he likes to call the organs of the collective (its architectures, fashions, signboards) Throughout, he displays a far-sighted urgency, judging the present on the basis of possible futures And he is gifted with a keen sense of humor Mysterious though he may sometimes be (his Latvian love, Asia Lacis, once described him as a visitor from another planet), Benjamin remains perhaps the most consistently surprising and challenging of critical writers.  2004 г Мягкая обложка, 528 стр ISBN 0674013557.
