Review
“Highet has assembled a vast quantity of material concerning the manifold aspects of his subject, filled in gaps where no adequate work has been done, and presented a story characterized by lucidity, charm, and scholarly good sense.”–Classical Philology “Solidly grounded and solidly built…[Highet] deals with every period, every movement, every individual, and every separate work as an interesting special case for which he tries to find the special explanation.”–The New Yorker

Product Description
This landmark book explores the ways in which the Greco-Roman tradition has shaped modern European and American literature.

Book Description
Thanks to her black mother and her Irish father, Ruth “Penny” Borum is the color of a new penny. Big-boned and notoriously sassy, Ruth is nonetheless the organist and a member in good standing of Antioch, Virginia’s most prominent black church–or at least she was until she dragged the popular Reverend Jonas Borum into an ugly divorce. Having lost everything in the divorce, Ruth scrapes by on what she can make as a hairdresser at Diana’s, a tiny two-seat salon. Alone at night, in her basement apartment, she indulges in ice cream and argues with the Almighty. Did He have to take everything away? And when is He going to give something back? The Good Lord must have a sense of humor. That’s the only conclusion Ruth can reach when He makes her fall head over heels in love…with a white man. Her friends are appalled, and Antioch, her spiritual home since birth, is ready to throw her out on her ear. Still, with the help of jump rope rhymes, a homeless man who hears God’s voice in a mason jar, and two children who want a Mama as much as she wants them, Ruth’s determined to prove anything is possible–even love between two people who couldn’t be more mismatched…

Product Description
How are you doing? Just okay? Not so great? Getting by? Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield believe that this just isn’t good enough. They believe that everyone deserves the very best in life — and that everyone is capable of achieving it. We need only to dare. Dare to try. Dare to succeed. Dare to Win.With their trademark humor, anecdotes and enthusiasm, Hansen and Canfield take a hard look at the one factor that keep most of us from realizing the things we long for: fear. Fear is what holds us back, limits us, and leads to self-defeating behavior. But fear can be confronted and overcome, and Dare to Win is the program that simply, effectively, shows you how to do it.Dare to Win will convince you that life’s opportunities really are unlimited and that they are available to anyone who is willing to accept both the challenge and the reward.

If Paris and Spain in the ’20s provided the scene for Ernest Hemingway’s writing apprenticeship, it was the decade that followed that saw the writer mature to the height of his powers, as told in the third volume of Michael Reynolds’s five-part biography of the American writer. It was also the time that marked the creation of the “Hemingway myth,” the burden and eventual doom of his later years. Hemingway “the great white hunter,” “the boozing brawler,” “the literary pugilist” began to take shape during his 30s, and the brilliance of his mature work carries within it the inevitable ripeness of decline and self-parody. (His friends would comment on the “long white whiskers” that Hemingway would metaphorically assume when talking about art, life, and literature, even as a young man.) Reynolds stretches his timeline back to 1929 to cover both the publication of A Farewell to Arms and the stock market crash. The next 10 years saw the publication of many of his major novels and some of the finest short stories, as well as such “nonfiction” as Death in the Afternoon, The Green Hills of Africa, and the collected pieces of war correspondence that would serve as source material for For Whom the Bell Tolls. The writer, increasingly celebrated and successful, made new friends, quarreled with old ones (including John Dos Passos and Edmund Wilson), and met and fell in love with the glamorous Martha Gellhorn–the writer with whom he covered the Spanish Civil War and later married. As with his other biographies of Hemingway, Reynolds balances a clear enthusiasm for his subject with a keenly honed critical sense, chronicling not only the triumphs but also the ruthless nature of the writer’s ambition to achieve them. He is particularly good at tracing how his subject’s experiences–from fishing with friends off Key West to the African veldt to the battlefields of Spain–were translated into his fiction, through Hemingway’s uncompromising effort to “put a thousand intangibles into a sentence.” –John Longenbaugh

From Library Journal
This fourth volume in Reynolds’s ongoing series finds Hemingway setting up a home base in Key West, Florida, while also following the bullfights?and later the civil war?in Spain, going on safari in Africa, and fishing off Cuba. Though it might seem that he had put his talent in dry-dock to enjoy leisure pursuits, his adventures resulted in Death in the Afternoon, Green Hills of Africa, and To Have and Have Not. The book also offers a fine portrait of Pauline, the dutiful second wife who attended patiently to Ernest’s every need until he scuttled their marriage when the soon-to-be-next Mrs. H (Martha Gellhorn) appeared. This is everything a literary biography should be: it not only ably dissects the artist’s actions but puts his life and work into historical and, more importantly, emotional context as well. The great writer emerges here as a fully drawn personality?you can all but smell Hemingway’s whisky breath coming off the pages. Though he pursues a much overstudied subject, Reynolds again proves that Hemingway is still a rich mine with much gold in his veins. A masterpiece in the making.-?Michael Rogers, “Library Journal”Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
