Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Captain Bruno Courreges goes by the grand title of Chief of Police, though in truth he's the only municipal policeman on staff in the small town of St Denis in the beautiful Perigord region of south west France. Bruno sees his job as protecting St Denis from its enemies, and these include the capital's bureaucrats and their EU counterparts in Brussels. Today is market day in the ancient town. Inspectors from Brussels have been swooping on France's markets, attempting to enforce EU hygiene rules. The locals call the Brussels' bureaucrats 'Gestapo' and Bruno supports their resistance. What's more, here in what was Vichy France, words like 'Gestapo' and 'resistance' still carry a profound resonance. When an old man, head of an immigrant North African family, is found murdered, suspicion falls on the son of the local doctor, found in flagrante playing sex games surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia. But Bruno isn't convinced, and suspects this crime may have its roots in that most tortured period of recent French history - the Second World War, a time of terror and betrayal that set brother against brother. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Ross, Stephanie - Jacket Design (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 327 Pages. An aging art scholar and a visiting student, haunting echoes of France's colonialist past, and a delicious navarin of lamb--Bruno is back, and his latest case leads him from the Renaissance to the French Resistance and beyond by way of a corpse at the bottom of a well. When Claudia, a young American, turns up dead in the courtyard of an ancient castle in Bruno's jurisdiction, her death is assumed to be an accident related to opioid use. But her doctor persuades Bruno that things may not be so simple. Thus begins an investigation that leads Bruno to Monsieur de Bourdeille, the scholar with whom the girl had been studying, and then through that man's past. He is a renowned art historian who became extraordinarily wealthy through the sale of paintings that may have been falsely attributed--or so Claudia suggested shortly before her death. In his younger days, Bourdeille had aided the Resistance and been arrested by a Vichy policeman whose own life story also becomes inexorably entangled with the case. Also in the mix is a young falconer who works at the Château des Milandes, the former home of fabled jazz singer Josephine Baker. In the end, of course, Bruno will tie all the loose threads together and see that justice is served--along with a generous helping of his signature Périgordian cuisine.

Dust jacket has some wrinkling and chipping on the edges and corners, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, wrinkling on the spine edges, light discoloration and shelf wear. A Bruno, Chief of Police novel. 8.75"x6", 321 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. BRUNO COURR ÈGES - provincial French police chief extraordinaire - is back in another delectable tale of mystery and suspense that unfolds in the gastronomically ravishing Dordogne. A veteran of the Resistance dies, and among his possessions are documents that connect him to a notorious train robbery. A former British spymaster's estate is burglarized, the latest in a spree of expert thefts. An academic's home is broken into just as she is finishing a revelatory book on France's nuclear weapons program. An antiques dealer is found brutally murdered, and his former lover, the number one suspect, is on the run. It's just another summer in St. Denis for Bruno, who must balance the constant barrage of demands on his time and expertise - including the complex affections of two powerful women, town politics (the mayor is having romantic problems of his own), his irrepressible puppy, Balzac, and nights entertaining friends and visitors with ever-sumptuous repasts - with a new focus on the mounting crime wave, whose seemingly unrelated events Bruno begins to suspect are linked. His search for clues to crimes old and new leads to stunning revelations about both his country's history and his own, and puts several more lives including Bruno's - in deadly danger. In a thrilling denouement that proves the past is never really past, Bruno fights to secure the future of his beloved community and those he cares about most. As charming and compelling as its hero, The Resistance Man offers fresh joys for loyal readers and newcomers alike. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Captain Bruno Courreges goes by the grand title of Chief of Police, though in truth he's the only municipal policeman on staff in the small town of St Denis in the beautiful Perigord region of south west France. He has a gun but never wears it; he has the power to arrest but never uses it. The law in St Denis and the farms and hamlets of its sprawling commune is not necessarily applied as Paris would like it. Bruno sees his job as protecting St Denis from its enemies, and these include the capital's bureaucrats and their EU counterparts in Brussels. Today is market day in the ancient town. Inspectors from Brussels have been swooping on France's markets, attempting to enforce EU hygiene rules. The locals call the Brussels' bureaucrats 'Gestapo' and Bruno supports their resistance. What's more, here in what was Vichy France, words like 'Gestapo' and 'resistance' still carry a profound resonance. When an old man, head of an immigrant North African family, is found viciously murdered - a swastika carved in his chest - the obvious conclusion is that this ritualistic killing must be racist, and that Le Front National is alive and well in the Dordogne. Suspicion falls on the son of the local doctor, found in flagrante playing sex games surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia. But Bruno isn't convinced, and suspects this unusual crime may have its roots in that most tortured period of recent French history - the Second World War. A time of terror and betrayal that set brother against brother, it casts a very long shadow. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Beware the Roadbuilders: Literature as Resistance was born out of blogging as an act of social justice. Over a period of about two years, many posts built the case against market-based education reform and for a critical re-imagining of public education. This book presents a coordinated series of essays based on that work, using a wide range of written and visual texts to call for the universal public education we have failed to achieve. The central image and warning of the book-'beware the roadbuilders'-is drawn from Alice Walker's The Color Purple. The book presents a compelling argument that billionaires, politicians, and self-professed education reformers are doing more harm than good-despite their public messages. The public and our students are being crushed beneath their reforms. In the wake of Ferguson and the growing list of sacrificed young black men-Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner-the essays in this book gain an even wider resonance, seeking to examine both the larger world of inequity as well as the continued failure of educational inequity. While each chapter stands as a separate reading, the book as a whole produces a cohesive theme and argument about the power of critical literacy to read and re-read the world, and to write and re-rewrite the world (Paulo Freire). Supporting that larger message are several key ideas and questions: What are the confrontational texts we should be inviting students to read, that anyone should read Instead of reducing texts to the narrow expectations of New Criticism or 'close reading,' how do we expand those texts into how they inform living in a free society and engaging in activism How do traditional assumptions about what texts matter and what texts reveal support the status quo of power And how can texts of all types assist in the ongoing pursuit of equity among free people.

[2],xvi,471pp, with 31 full-page plates from photographs. Octavo. Black cloth, spine lettered in silver. Spine ends faded, small smudge on top edge, pencil notes on rear free endsheet, two ink ownership inscriptions (see below) on front free endsheet, small bookplate on pastedown, but a very good copy in spine sunned, somewhat worn dust jacket with old internal mends and a split along the upper joint. First edition of this central work in the history of 20th century photo-documentary. After he graduated from Harvard, Agee was hired by Time Inc, and wrote for FORTUNE from 1932 to 1937. In 1936, on assignment for the magazine, Agee and Evans (who was then working with the FSA) traveled to southern Alabama where, for eight weeks, they documented via interview and photographs the Depression-era hardships of the daily lives of three families of sharecroppers. In the end, FORTUNE did not publish their article, largely due to Agee's resistance to FORTUNE's editors demands for substantial cuts. Harper & Brothers, who had contracted for book publication following its appearance in FORTUNE, backed out over similar issues. Agee and Evans developed the material further and it was accepted for publication in book form by Houghton Mifflin. The first (and for many years, only) printing consisted of 2416 copies, of which only 600 copies were sold before it was remaindered. It would take another two decades before Houghton Mifflin published another clothbound printing, with an expanded group of photographs. It is now a work considered "by many as the epitome of the genre . pushing the boundaries of the way in which documentary should treat the world" - Parr & Badger, THE PHOTOBOOK A HISTORY, volume one. In 2005, it was selected for publication in the Library of America. This is an excellent association copy, bearing on the front free endsheet the ownership inscription of David U. McDowell, "Gambier, Ohio - 1941 -." McDowell (1918 - 1985) was then teaching at Kenyon College. He enlisted in the Army in 1942, and after the war worked as sales manager and director of publicity at New Directions. In 1949, he left ND and worked as an editor at Random House where he stayed until 1957, when he and Ivan Obolensky joined in founding the publishing firm McDowell, Obolensky. The firm's first list included Agee's posthumously published Pulitzer Prize winning novel, A DEATH IN THE FAMILY. McDowell served as the first trustee of the James Agee Trust, and at the time of his death, was hard at work on a substantial biography of Agee. There are a number of page references in pencil on the rear endsheet which may be McDowell's, and in the text block, on pages corresponding to those references, there are some pencil marginal highlights. Above McDowell's inscription, appears the 1963 ownership signature of novelist and essayist Larry McMurtry. His bookplate, based on the McMurtry family's 'stirrup' brand, is affixed to the front pastedown. In his recent biography of McMurtry, LARRY MCMURTRY A LIFE (New York: St. Martins's Press, 2023), Tracy Daugherty notes: "During his time at North Texas State, McMurtry kept a running list of books he wanted to read, foremost among them James Agee's LET US NOW PRAISE FAMOUS MEN. The North Texas State library had a copy of the book, but it was always checked out, exasperating McMurtry. At [a] party, [Grover] Lewis, drunk, admitted sheepishly that he was the one who'd sat on the book for over a year, just so McMurtry couldn't get his hands on it. He seemed to think he was being funny. 'It was at that point that I stopped thinking of him simply as a friend, though we continued to see one another for most of the sixties,' McMurtry said." PARR & BADGER I:144.
