Paperback. Etat : Good. What happens when a young, naive bride meets the Egyptian belly dancers and their enigmatic manager at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair? It changes everything. Young bride Dora Chambers can't wait to begin her new life in Chicago. It's an exciting time, with the 1893 World's Fair putting a kaleidoscope of new inventions, new cultures, and new ideas on display. Unfortunately, those aren't the only things on display. The Egyptian belly dancers' performances are stirring up a scandal, and the distasteful task of enforcing proper Victorian conduct on them has fallen to Dora as part of her initiation into the Fair's prestigious Board of Lady Managers. But Dora's sensibilities are not so easily flustered by the dancers. She finds herself captivated by these exotic women, and by their enigmatic manager, Hossam Farouk, who makes his mistrust of her known - although his lingering glances hint at something else. As Dora's eyes are opened to the world beyond her own, she finds the courage to break free of social expectations and self-imposed bondage, and discovers the truth about the desire and passion in her heart. THE GIRL ON THE MIDWAY STAGE is a lush historical novel rich with authentic Victorian period detail, discovery, and romance that will sweep you up in Dora's struggle to understand herself, her quickly changing world, and her own unique journey to happiness. *** This title was formerly published by Berkley/Penguin Random House as THE BELY DANCER ***.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. 2017 Reprint of 1933 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Pirandello began writing it in 1909. In an autobiographical letter, published in 1924, the author refers to this work as the .bitterest of all, profoundly humoristic, about the decomposition of life. Vitangelo, the protagonist, discovers by way of a completely irrelevant question that his wife poses to him that everyone he knows, and everyone he has ever met, has constructed a Vitangelo persona in their own imagination and that none of these personas corresponds to the image of Vitangelo that he himself has constructed and believes himself to be. The reader is immediately immersed in a cruel game of confusing projections, mirroring the reality of social existence itself, which imperiously dictate their rules. As a result, the first, ironic awareness of Vitangelo consists in the knowledge of that which he definitely is not; the preliminary operation must therefore consist in the spiteful destruction of all of these fictitious masks.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. REPRINT. pp.200. B & W illustrations. This book is intended for the home craftsman who wants to make all sorts of things in wood from a table lamp to a rabbit hutch. To the tradesman carpentry refers to the constructional woodwork of a house-the roof, flooring, and so on. To the man in the street, however, it generally means the making of almost every thing in wood; hence the general character of the designs we give. We give a range of comparatively simple designs for objects to make which we know from experience to be in everyday demand; small general items, pieces of furniture, and garden woodwork. These are followed by instructions on the use of tools, and the everyday processes involved in woodwork-making doors, hinging, fitting locks, and cutting joints.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. 2013 Reprint of 1959 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This is the publication of the influential 1959 Rede Lecture by British scientist and novelist C. P. Snow.

Published in book form, Snow's lecture was widely read and discussed on both sides of the Atlantic, leading him to write a 1963 follow-up, The Two Cultures: And a Second Look: An Expanded Version of The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution.…
