Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 'In Robert Fagles' beautifully rendered text, the Iliad overwhelms us afresh. The huge themes--godlike, yet utterly human--of savagery and calculation, of destiny defied, of triumph and grief compel our own humanity. Time after time, one pauses and re-reads before continuing. Fagles' voice is always that of a poet and scholar of our own age as he conveys the power of Homer. Robert Fagles and Bernard Knox are to be congratulated and praised on this admirable work.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. November 13, 2014, changed my life forever. I was blind sided by the loss of my 12 year old son due to suicide. I found myself deep underwater where no one could reach me.

I do believe my son answered those prayers by giving me wondrous visions, dreams and messages from beyond. By following his messages I was able to learn to live again.

Paperback. Etat : Good. A stunning verse translation of Homer's epic tale about one man's decade-long struggle to return home after years on the battlefields of Troy, from National Book Award-winning translator Allen Mandelbaum The inspiration for the blockbuster film The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan and starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Elliot Page, Robert Pattinson, and Zendaya "Muse, tell me of the man of many wiles, the man who wandered many paths of exile after he sacked Troy's sacred citadel." So begins one of the greatest adventures of world literature. Homer's epic chronicle of the Greek hero Odysseus' decade-long journey home from the Trojan War has inspired writers from Virgil to James Joyce. Odysseus survives storm and shipwreck, the cave of the Cyclops and the isle of Circe, the lure of the Sirens' song and a trip to the Underworld, only to find his most difficult challenge at home, where treacherous suitors seek to steal his kingdom and his loyal wife, Penelope. Meanwhile, his son Telemachus is on a journey of his own, tasked by the goddess Athena to fend off the suitors and liaise with warriors who fought alongside Odysseus during the Trojan War. But when the paths of father and son converge, they must use all their wits to reclaim Ithaca-or die trying. Allen Mandelbaum's brilliant verse translation realizes the power and the beauty of the original Greek and demonstrates why the Odyssey has captured the human imagination for nearly three thousand years.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A "nostalgic and entertaining memoir" (People) about a group of young men who dreamed of launching rockets into outer space--the inspiration for the film October Sky "A message of hope in an age of cynicism. . . . Perhaps we all have something to learn from a half-dozen boys who dared to reject all limitations . . . and resolved to send dreams roaring to the sky."--The San Diego Union-Tribune It was 1957, the year Sputnik raced across the Appalachian sky, and the small town of Coalwood, West Virginia, was slowly dying. Faced with an uncertain future, Homer Hickam nurtured a dream: to send rockets into outer space. The introspective son of the mine's superintendent and a mother determined to get him out of Coalwood forever, Homer fell in with a group of misfits who learned not only how to turn scraps of metal into sophisticated rockets but how to sustain their hope in a town that swallowed its men alive. As the boys began to light up the tarry skies with their flaming projectiles and dreams of glory, Coalwood, and the Hickams, would never be the same. With the grace of a natural storyteller, NASA engineer Homer Hickam paints a warm, vivid portrait of the harsh West Virginia mining town of his youth, evoking a time of innocence and promise, when anything was possible. Lush and lyrical, Rocket Boys is a uniquely American memoir: A powerful, luminous story of coming of age at the end of the 1950s, of a mother's love and a father's fears, and of growing up and getting out.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. As the Civil War raged, President Abraham Lincoln spent many hours in the War Department's telegraph office, where he received all his telegrams. Morning, noon, and night Lincoln would visit the small office to receive the latest news from the armies at the front. The place was a refuge for the president, who waited for incoming dispatches and talked while they were being deciphered. David Homer Bates, one of the first military telegraphers, recollects those presidential visits during times of crisis. Lincoln in the Telegraph Office, originally published in 1907, shows history in the making and personalities at their most unguarded: Lincoln, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, Andrew Carnegie, General George McClellan, and many others. The reader is with Lincoln at the scene of dramatic tidings: of the Northern disasters at Bull Run, of Meade's victory at Gettysburg, of Grant's capture of Richmond. Lincoln wrote the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation at the telegraph office, and from there the news of his assassination was relayed. Wartime human-interest anecdotes, the wonder of the new technology, the unraveling of ciphers and codes, conspiracies and rumors, a heightened sense of onrushing events, the tragedy of Good Friday 1865 - all are conveyed in this classic of Lincolniana.…
