Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Spine creased, front hinge starting, pencil notes on last page. 1888 Hard Cover. 484 pp. 8 pages of publisher ads follow text. Red boards with gilt titles. A comedy of manners that follows the romantic complications between a young woman and her fiance. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William Dean Howells, (born March 1, 1837, Martins Ferry, Ohio, U.S.?died May 11, 1920, New York City), U.S. novelist and critic, the dean of late 19th-century American letters, the champion of literary realism, and the close friend and adviser of Mark Twain and Henry James. The son of an itinerant printer and newspaper editor, Howells grew up in various Ohio towns and began work early as a typesetter and later as a reporter. Meanwhile, he taught himself languages, becoming well read in German, Spanish, and English classics, and began contributing poems to The Atlantic Monthly. His campaign biography of Abraham Lincoln (1860) financed a trip to New England, where he met the great men of the literary establishment, James Russell Lowell, editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Hawthorne, and Emerson. On Lincoln?s victory he was rewarded with a consulship at Venice (1861?65), which enabled him to marry. On his return to the U.S. he became assistant editor (1866?71), then editor (1871?81), of The Atlantic Monthly, in which he began publishing reviews and articles that interpreted American writers. He was a shrewd judge of his contemporaries. He immediately recognized the worth of Henry James, and he was the first to take Mark Twain seriously as an artist. Their Wedding Journey (1872) and A Chance Acquaintance (1873) were his first realistic novels of uneventful middle-class life. There followed some international novels, contrasting American and European manners. Howells? best work depicts the American scene as it changed from a simple, egalitarian society where luck and pluck were rewarded to one in which social and economic gulfs were becoming unbridgeable, and the individual?s fate was ruled by chance. He wrote A Modern Instance (1882), the story of the disintegration of a marriage, which is considered his strongest novel. His best known work, The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885), deals with a self-made businessman?s efforts to fit into Boston society. In 1887 he risked both livelihood and reputation with his plea for clemency for the condemned Haymarket anarchists on the grounds that they had been convicted for their political beliefs. In 1888 he left Boston for New York. - Britannica.

'' The author's personal preferences for 31 works which have been read beyond a single generation, ranging from Anza's California Expedition to Raymond Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely, are the subject of this illuminating study of the creative impulse of writers, not necessarily native sons, who have made California the setting of their masterpieces. In combining biography and criticism the author has gone to the original sources of each work, seeking the forces that created it--a love of landscape or a woman, literary chronicle of California, seen against a background of seacoast, valleys, mountains, deserts, and cities. Among the thousands of books of Californiana, it may be safely said that there is none like this one which blends literature, history, and geography with biography and criticism. First serialized in Westways these chapters were widely hailed as a freshly original guide to California's living literature. Now revised and rearranged, with the addition of brief reading lists, photographs, and a map, they form a valuable introduction for readers of all ages to one of California's chief glories, its richly varied creative literature." // Lawrence Clark Powell (1906-2001) was an American librarian, writer, and critic. He was born on September 3, 1906, in Washington, D.C. Powell received his bachelor's degree from Occidental College in 1928 and his master's degree in library science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1930. Powell worked as a librarian for several institutions, including the Library of Congress, UCLA, and the University of Arizona, where he served as the university librarian from 1959 to 1973. He was also a prolific writer, publishing over 100 books, articles, and reviews on a variety of topics, including librarianship, the American Southwest, and book collecting. Powell was known for his advocacy of intellectual freedom and his support of libraries as centers of learning and cultural exchange. He was a founding member of the Arizona Historical Society and served as president of the American Library Association in 1964-65. Powell died on March 14, 2001, in Tucson, Arizona, at the age of 94. // Littérature américaine -- Californie. American literature. Literary collections. Literature.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - He endured every parent's worst nightmare.When writer-comedian Barry Friedman's son died from a drug overdose one Friday morning, Barry was devastated-but not surprised. Paul's death had been in dress rehearsal for years. The world alternately froze and galloped after Paul was found face-down in his room. Barry had to find a way to continue, to reject magical thinking and forge a meaningful path for the future. During the following four days, Barry dealt not only with his crushing grief but also incidents ranging from the ridiculous to the profound. What follows is not a eulogy but an elegy for the son he loved but knew he would lose. Barry writes with passion and pain about how to survive the worst life has to offer--and go on living. 'It's a wonderful book. This is a haunting, achingly honest account of an experience every parent fears more than any other--the death of a child. Barry Friedman is a superb writer; this compelling, compulsively readable book will stay with you long after you finish it.' --Dave Barry, Pulitzer-Prize winning writer'Told in sharp shards and jagged pieces that create a riveting and inevitable narrative flow, Four Days and a Year Later is brief, powerful, despairing, and yet ultimately, a hopeful expression of what it means to be human.' --William Martin, NYTimes-bestselling author of The Lincoln Letter 148 pp. Englisch.

Adding to the excitement is the annual Spring Opening, when the town's world-famous carriage manufacturers throw open their doors to visitors from all over the globe.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: William Dean Howells, (born March 1, 1837, Martins Ferry, Ohio, U.S.?died May 11, 1920, New York City), U.S. novelist and critic, the dean of late 19th-century American letters, the champion of literary realism, and the close friend and adviser of Mark Twain and Henry James. The son of an itinerant printer and newspaper editor, Howells grew up in various Ohio towns and began work early as a typesetter and later as a reporter. Meanwhile, he taught himself languages, becoming well read in German, Spanish, and English classics, and began contributing poems to The Atlantic Monthly. His campaign biography of Abraham Lincoln (1860) financed a trip to New England, where he met the great men of the literary establishment, James Russell Lowell, editor of The Atlantic Monthly, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Hawthorne, and Emerson. On Lincoln?s victory he was rewarded with a consulship at Venice (1861?65), which enabled him to marry. On his return to the U.S. he became assistant editor (1866?71), then editor (1871?81), of The Atlantic Monthly, in which he began publishing reviews and articles that interpreted American writers. He was a shrewd judge of his contemporaries. He immediately recognized the worth of Henry James, and he was the first to take Mark Twain seriously as an artist. Their Wedding Journey (1872) and A Chance Acquaintance (1873) were his first realistic novels of uneventful middle-class life. There followed some international novels, contrasting American and European manners. Howells? best work depicts the American scene as it changed from a simple, egalitarian society where luck and pluck were rewarded to one in which social and economic gulfs were becoming unbridgeable, and the individual?s fate was ruled by chance. He wrote A Modern Instance (1882), the story of the disintegration of a marriage, which is considered his strongest novel. His best known work, The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885), deals with a self-made businessman?s efforts to fit into Boston society. In 1887 he risked both livelihood and reputation with his plea for clemency for the condemned Haymarket anarchists on the grounds that they had been convicted for their political beliefs. In 1888 he left Boston for New York. - Britannica.
