Later edition. A translation of LE JUIF ERRANT 1844-45. Sue "achieved great but brief celebrity as a feuilletonist in the early 1840s when radical periodicals fielded him as the chief rival of their royalist adversaries' champion storyteller Alexandre Dumas. His early melodramas of bloody piracy gave way to sweeping analyses of city life paying particular attention to the criminal activities of rich and poor like LES MYSTERES DE PARIS 1842-43. Another sprawling epic was LE JUIF ERRANT 1844-45 in which the descendants of a man who once aided the Wandering Jew are summoned to Paris to receive the fortune which has been gathering interest for centuries. The supernatural elements are symbolic after the fashion of ABASVERUS 1833 by Edgar Quinet 1803-1895; the Jew stands for dispossessed laborers and his consort Herodias for downtrodden womankind Sue was a feminist of sorts as well as a radical socialist." - Clute and Grant eds The Encyclopedia of Fantasy 1997 p. 904.

We have more books available by this author!. 275 pp. Maine 1919. Georgia Rice who has cared for her father and two siblings since her mother's death is diagnosed at nineteen with tuberculosis and sent away to a sanitarium. Freed from the burdens of care-taking she discovers a nearly lost world of youth and possibility and meets the doomed young man who will become her lover. Vermont the present. On the heels of a divorce Catherine Hubbard Georgia's granddaughter takes up residence in Georgia's old house. Sorting through her own affairs Cath stumbles upon the true story of Georgia's life and marriage and of the misunderstanding upon which she built a lasting love. With the tales of these two women--one a country doctor's wife with a haunting past the other a twice-divorced San Francisco schoolteacher casting about at midlife for answers to her future--Miller offers us a novel of astonishing richness and emotional depth. Linked by bitter disappointments compromise and powerful grace the lives of Georgia and Cath begin to seem remarkably similar despite their distinctly different times: two young girls generations apart motherless at nearly the same age thrust into early adulthood struggling with confusing bonds of attachment and guilt; both of them in marriages that are not what they seem forced to make choices that call into question the very nature of intimacy faithfulness betrayal and love. Marvelously written expertly told The World Below captures the shadowy half-truths of the visible world and the beauty and sorrow submerged beneath the surfaces of our lives--the lost world of the past our lost hopes for the future. A tour de force from one of our most beloved storytellers. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover books

14265np: nd; ca. 1950-1985. First volume: 6” x 9” spiral- bound sketchbook with numerous scrapbook elements. Front cover detached but present. Else very good. Second volume: 11” x 11 1/2” green photo-album/scrapbook. Generally fine. <br/><br/>Collection of sketches drawings and cartoons by Lois Pullen of her dog Bozo created for her longtime best friend Sue Cappola. Over the years Lois illustrated every letter she sent to Sue with a cartoon of Bozo. Sue loved the antics of the scrappy dog so much that she clipped each of the drawings from the letters pasting them first into a sketchbook – already illustrated with Bozo cartoons – Lois had given her as a gift and later into a larger photo-album/scrapbook. Most of Pullen's Bozo vignettes are essentially single-panel cartoons endearing and warm if not laugh-out-loud funny but the artist has a fine eye for character and detail as well as fine a gift for quickly capturing a moment with a line or two of accompanying text. A few multi-panel pieces and an accordion-style fold-out book are also among the illustrations. A treasury of a friendship which spanned over four decades a wonderful example of folk cartooning and a reminder of the quickly and sadly fading art of letter writing. unknown books
