Kl.-Oktav, Einheitssacht.: The retreat diaries, Umschlaggestaltung: Thomas Bertschi, Photo: Julia Aaron, Gesamtherstellung Rombach in Freiburg im Breisgau. WB, dessen Literatur in den 60ern und 70ern das Leben von Generationen mitbestimmte, und Ende der 70er in ein neues Jahrzehnt, eine andere Zeit überleitete. Im Herbst 1975 zog sich der Verfasser für einige Zeit zurück - darum Rückzugstagebücher = retreat diaries, ins beschauliche Hügelland Vermonts (ein neuenglischer Bundesstaat im nordöstlich New Yorks im Nordosten der USA). Dort ging er mit sich und seine Träumen in Klausur. Nur mit Bleistift und Papier bewaffnet und zumeist bei Kerzenlicht notierte er, was er aus seinen Träumen in den Wachzustand hinüberretten konnte. Wußte er damals schon von dem großen Schaden, den Elektrosmog anrichten kann? Hatte er deshalb keine Nachtischlampe? Nach NYC zurückgekehrt verfaßte er anhand seiner Notizen den vorliegenden Essay (Zw. M&M) und das Traumtagebuch - Reflexionen zu BUDDHISMUS, Don Juan, Traumtheorien, BEGEGNUNGEN, Vergangenem und Zukünftigem. Auch weiht B. den Leser in jene Vorgänge ein, die der Niederschrift seiner berühmten Romane vorangingen und enthüllt, wie und wo er Personen und Schauplätze seines literarischen Werks aufgreift und festhält.- Enthält auch: Traum am frühen Morgen. von James Grauerholz, innen sauber, Ebd. fest, sofort lieferbar.

Small stain at foredge else fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, in protective mylar cover. Set Seattle. 4th in the Elizabeth Elliot series. "A fourth episode in this series of low-keyed mysteries starring Elizabeth Elliot, an elderly Quaker widow from Cambridge, Mass. (Quaker Testimony, 1996, etc.). Here, Elizabeth has flown to Seattle to meet Reba Nichols, her lifelong friend from college days. The two are staying at the house of Reba's deceased parents in Richland, on land bordering the old Hanford nuclear site, which produced plutonium during WW II and still employs some locals. Reba is reluctant to sell her inherited property, convinced that people in the area are suffering from radioactive poisoning. She plans to take soil and water samples for expert analysis before confronting government authorities. With the help of Elizabeth, Reba gathers her samples, moving at one point onto the Hanford sitewhere she's stopped by security guards and taken away in a jeep. Elizabeth drives back to the town, expecting to meet Reba there after her release. Instead, her friend's body is found shot to death outside her house, and Al Cartwright, one of the guards, denies ever seeing her. Elizabeth gets little assistance from Sheriff Tomlinson but strong support from Reba's young friend Dr. Meghan Zillainas determined as Elizabeth is to find Reba's killer . . . a mission finally accomplished with a little help from Meghan's trusty dog Panda. A straightforward look at a hardscrabble community with a real-life problems." -- Kirkus Review. Book.

Hard Cover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. 1st ed. Fine in dust jacket. Debut of Elizabeth Elliot, widowed elder and leader in the Quaker community of Cambridge, Massachusetts. What happens when murder strikes at the heart of the nonviolent Quaker community? "Reflection rather than heart-pounding action marks this subdued and sober first mystery by the pseudonymous Allen. When a devout member of the Society of Friends in Cambridge, Mass., is murdered, other members of the community confront volatile, timely issues, including homelessness and sexual preference. As the Clerk of the Friends Meeting, 66-year-old widow Elizabeth Elliot moderates Quaker gatherings and informally counsels her peers. It is she who encourages them to accept a homeless man at the weekly services of silent prayer, and she who calmly presides over a vigorous debate about whether to recognize homosexual marriage as valid. The murder victim was a wealthy Quaker businessman who was opposed to gay unions; his announcement that he planned to revise his will , made at a Sunday meeting shortly before his death, suggests that the killer is a Quaker. Saddened by events and determined to see justice served, Elizabeth methodically investigates, a process involving discussing the crime over tea with friends and suspects. This mellow, well-orchestrated debut may seem tame to readers accustomed to violence and displays of intense emotion." -- Publishers Weekly. Book.
