Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The three plays in this volume focus on the tumultuous relationships between men and women, whether they are father and daughter, brother and sister or lovers. "Miss Julie" is a ruthlessly realistic depiction of an upper class woman's seduction of a servant, emphasizing the differences and the antagonism between them. In "The Father", a man is brought to madness and driven out of his home by the suspicion that his daughter is not his own child, while "Easter" centres on a family in need of redemption for its sins and suffering, finding forgiveness at a season of rebirth. Strindberg's acute psychological analysis and his dramatization of naked emotion within a naturalistic domestic setting make him one of the great innovators of the modern theatre.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. At least 400 women enlisted and fought on both sides during the terrible national conflict that was the War Between the States. Their reasons for enlisting ranged from wanting to stay with their husbands or lovers to patriotism and a firm dedication to the cause for which they fought. Most of these women disguised themselves as men, and some were soon discovered and discharged. A few women fought in the war and their identity was never discovered. This book is about one of those young women, Sarah Emma Edmonds, whose identity was apparently never revealed until many years after the war ended. Emma's experience is especially interesting because during her enlistment she served as a Union Spy, causing her to adopt multiple identities in addition to her male disguise.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Abruzzese village was as one would expect -- replete with copper-coloured roofs, mountain pine trees, ageing edifices, and a host of onlookers scrutinising the unexpected arrival of stranieri -- foreigners. The Italian-American cousins had barely moved into the village centre of their grandmother's youth when the natives began emerging from their geranium-laden window frames and through the hanging beads of the town's main bar. Why are you here, the locals asked without speaking a word. "Our nonna was born here, in Campo di Giove", one cousin began in Italiano, "more than 100 years ago. We are here in search of roots. Of family." "Her name?" an elderly woman called down from her post. "Rubeo. Her name was Beatrice Rubeo". "Rest here," a gentleman uttered softly behind the visitors. "I will return immediately." And he did -- with his aunt-by-marriage, who stretched to reach 4'10" in her impeccable leather shoes. "I understand you are Rubeos", she said when she first spoke. "Si, we are Rubeos." "I, too, am a Rubeo. Come. Come with me. I will help you with everything."And with that, the cousins -- new and old -- walked up the steep path to Iolanda's 435 year-old family home and toward a visit that would bring their grandparents and their parents and theirs, too, back to life in ways that, for years, had been long forgotten.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Assembled in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia were Ridge Avenue Memorial's biggest donors. In grateful recognition for his superior fund raising skills, Dr Walter Hagen, President of Ridge, received a year end bonus on top of his salary. He was the highest paid hospital president in the northeast. Over 200 donors from Ridge's 'Crystal Club' crowded into the hotel ballroom for a night of orgasmic, ego-drenching acclaim. Dr Hagen's holiday cheer would deep freeze if he knew Detective Lisa Marie Cooper was present with a list of Ridge's Crystal club donors unable to join the festivities. Those on Cooper's list had three things in common. First, they were all admitted to the Ridge in 1994. Second, Dr Hagen insured they enjoyed special attention during their hospital stay. And third, they were all dead. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Martha Grigg, author of BREAST CANCER AND YOU: BETTERING THE ODDS, takes a distinctly proactive approach to breast cancer. Leaving as little to chance as possible, she embarks on a two-pronged attack. One strategy is to research medical information about the disease, and the other strategy is to learn to deal effectively with the emotional fallout. Grigg takes her readers on a no-holds-barred roller coaster ride from initial shock to successful grappling with this insidious disease. In addition to addressing medical, emotional, pharmacological and therapeutic issues of breast cancer, the book wins high marks for the inclusion of a fine bibliography and index. The inclusion of these dimensions raises its value from supportive memoir to a solid reference work.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The autobiography of Lady Lawford - "Bitch!", is derived from a quote by Lady Lawford: "I have been called a bitch by the Aga Khan, by the Duke of Windsor, by Winston Churchill, King Farouk and by old Joe Kennedy. At least I have been called a bitch by the best!" The situations May got into were not always of such a serious nature, for she loved life, parties and people. She was a good and loyal friend -- but woe to those who found themselves on her private black list. Her family was surely irritated by her many scrapes and the countless Cadillacs she smashed up by driving them through the back door of her garage. But to those who were not tied to her by blood relationships, all these extravaganzas were merely a source of laughter and added to her indomitably cheerful character. An autobiography of Lady Lawford, it shows how she got into situations that were not always of a serious nature, for she loved life, parties and people. She was a good and loyal friend - but woe to those who found themselves on her private black list.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The late Father Bascio makes a great effort in understanding the plight of the Church and makes no bones in exposing the danger to the Church brought on by a rampant homosexuality wrapped in paedophilia. Of all the external threats to the Catholic Church over the centuries, the real threat is coming from within its ranks in the form of modern paedophilia. It is hard to imagine an organisation that allows deviants to prey on innocent and vulnerable boys. Worse, the Church seems to have hidden specific priests from prosecution. However, the jury is still out on the effectiveness of the Church Fathers in coping with an epidemic which, unfortunately, is also contaminating a good part of our society at large.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Educator, Poet, Historian, Army officer, and a graduate of Northeastern and Harvard University, Adolfo grew up during the Vietnam era as an outsider looking into the social upheavals, finding that well-meaning people demonstrated on behalf of goodness but bolstered evil. It seems that man really does not learn from history regardless of how history repeats itself. With the advent of Liberation Theology, Collective Salvation, and modern technology, Adolfo looks to Dante on how to save the human soul. Considering how to govern people, he looks to Machiavelli to see whether Machiavelli was Machiavellian and whether his Prince was fit to govern. In Alfieri, who loathed the 19th century, Adolfo finds the perfect definition of tyrants and tyrannies (Alfieri's stanza on George Washington continues to be uplifting). Baffling is the reality that an America, populated with so many people speaking foreign languages, its education system has produced few Americans proficient in foreign languages. Realizing how science does not have answers to important questions, Adolfo turns to a God who transcends human attributes, rejecting Evolution and replacing it with Evolvement.As for Martin Luther and Galileo Galilei, Adolfo sees the former the father of modern anti-Semitism and the latter a victim of the Church.

Six years after her life had ended, Morgain, King Arthur's half-sister, was subjected to unremitting calumny by the 'recorders of Arthurian History', beginning with Geoffregy of Monmouth and Sir Thomas Malory. For them and subsequent writers, Morgain was the thorn in Arthur's career, invariably described as sorceress, a troublemaker, envious and evil: in short, as a woman of less than one dimension. Geoffrey and Malory wrote to entertain noblemen and the high clergy, who appreciated the implicit approval and encouragement of their status as men.
