Hardcover / Hardback. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Hardback. Despotic, tragic, and yet mesmerising, newspaper editor Charles E. Chapin ruled the evening press in that bygone era when it was the CNN of the pre-electronic world of journalism. For two decades a century ago, Chapin held dominion over New York's wild assortment of tabloids and broadsheets until he murdered his wife in her sleep and his fiefdom was reduced to that of tending roses in one of the nation's most notorious prisons. The author scrupulously traces the rise and fall of this iconic newspaperman, a life so extraordinary that today journalists still recount the myths it generated. As city editor of Joseph Pulitzer's 'New York Evening World', Chapin was the model of the take-no-prisoners newsroom tyrant: he drove reporters relentlessly, and kept his paper on top of the centre ring of the circus of big-city journalism. From the city's most celebrated murder trials to the sinking of the 'Titanic', Chapin set the pace for New York's Park Row. Then in 1918 at the pinnacle of fame, Chapin's world collapsed. The obsessive temperament that made him such a masterful editor now tormented him as he faced financial ruin after years of profligate spending. Sunk in depression, he decided to kill himself and his wife. On a quiet September morning he took not his own life, but that of his beloved wife, Nellie. After his trial - and one hell of a story for the 'Worlds' competitors - he was sentenced to life in the infamous Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York. In prison, Chapin edited an uncompromising inmate newspaper, wrote a best-selling autobiography, and sustained two long-distance love affairs. More significantly, he tapped his prodigious energy and compulsive traits to transform barren prison plots into massive rose gardens that became world famous, before he died peacefully in his cell in 1930. Illus., Epilogue, Appendix, Guide to Notes and Abbreviations, Notes, Bibliog. and Index. 438pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in f. dw. A fairly heavy book which may require additional postage.

Softcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. Where in Manhattan did George Washington sleep? Where was Teddy Roosevelt born? Where did James Monroe die? Where is the birthplace of the Twist? Where was Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff 's multi-million-dollar penthouse? Where is the site of the country's first traffic fatality? These tidbits are among the more than2,000 fascinating entries in All Around the Town: Amazing Manhattan Facts and Curiosities, the definitive guide to historic New York. All Around the Town brings the city's history to life, street by street, building by building, in all its diversity. The entries, organized in an easy-to-use format by street address, were culled from a number of sources-histories, biographies, newspapers, guidebooks, and maps. They range from amusing anecdotes to familiar and not-so familiar historical events, from the Dutch New Amsterdam period to the present day. It is a truly unique guidebook for its historical viewpoint and will delight those looking for a glimpse of New York City beyond Madison Avenue and Broadway. The second edition has been revised and updated for a new millennium, reflecting a constantly changing city, and is supplemented with additional anecdotes and more than a hundred new pictures and illustrations. It is even easier to use, with cross-street information, a more portable trim size, and 300 new and updated places of interest.

Goldschmidt challenges the elegiac view of Gershom Scholem, showing us the German-Jewish legacy in literature, philosophy, and critical thought in a new light. Part One reexamines the breakthrough to modernity, tracing the moves of thinkers like Moses Mendelssohn, building on the legacies of religious figures like the Baal Shem Tov and radical philosophers such as Spinoza. This vision of modernity, Goldschmidt shows, rested upon a belief that "remnants" of the radical past could provide ideas and energy for reconceiving the modern world. Goldschmidt's philosophy of the remnant animates Part Two as well, where his account of the political history of the Jews in modernity and the riches of Jewish culture as recast in German-Jewish thought provide insights into Leo Baeck, Hermann Cohen, and Franz Rosenzweig, among others. Part Three analyzes the post-Auschwitz complex, and uses the Book of Job to break through that trauma.
