    Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. James Baldwin, prozaik, dramatik, scenarista a publicista, patri medzi vyznamnych cernosskych literatov USA poslednych desatroci. Sucasna americka literatura ma len malo takych nadanych spisovatelov, a napriek tomu ho u nas takmer nepozname. Je to mozno aj preto, ze Baldwin casto piseo zvratenostiach americkeho sposobu zivota, bez coho by tazko vytvoril pravdivy obraz spolocnosti svojej krajiny. Keby tak Beale Street prehovorila je roman, ktory vysoko prevysuje aj dobry priemer umelecky hodnotnych prozaickych diel dnesnej americkej literatury. Pribeh mladej cernosskej dvojice -- Fonnyho a Tish nas zaujme nielen svojou krehkostou a lyrickou podmanivostou, ale aj hlbokym pohladom na tvrdu americku skutocnost, v ktorej sa rozvija, vegetuje a nakoniec triumfuje laska dvoch mladych ludi. Roman nas uvadza do citoveho sveta cernosskej dvojice, stojacej na prahu spolocneho zivota, priblizuje nam nenasilne a presvedcivo otrasnost americkej reality a ukazuje skutocne korene nenavisti ciernych voci bielym. Baldwinov roman svojim hlboko humanistickym a angazovanym obsahom, umeleckou suverennostou a majstrovstvom prinasa citatelovi trvale literarne a ideove hodnoty, pricom ho vedie svojim filozofickym zacielenim k tomu, aby sa zamyslel nad bezutesnostou a drsnostou sveta, v ktorom mladi hrdinovia ziju a zapasia o svoju lasku.…

Harlem Love Story: eine junge Liebe gegen die Willkür einer weißen Justiz »Jeder in Amerika geborene Schwarze ist in der Beale Street geboren. Die Beale Street ist unser Erbe. Dieser Roman handelt von der Unmöglichkeit und von der Möglichkeit, von der absoluten Notwendigkeit, diesem Erbe Ausdruck zu geben. Die Beale Street ist eine laute Straße. Es bleibt dem Leser überlassen, aus dem Schlagen der Trommeln den Sinn herauszuhören.« James Baldwin Dies ist die Geschichte von Tish und Fonny, 19 und 22, und ihrem Kampf gegen die Willkür einer weißen Justiz. Der traurig-schöne Song einer jungen Liebe, voller Wut und doch voller Hoffnung. Ist das Gefängnissystem die Fortsetzung der Sklaverei unter anderen Vorzeichen? Beale Street Blues von James Baldwin strahlt grell in unsere Gegenwart.…

    Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. In this honest and stunning novel, James Baldwin has given America a moving story of love in the face of injustice. Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions-affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.…

    Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Illustrated Edition. An attractive early twentieth-century juvenile retelling of the Arthurian legends by noted educator and author James Baldwin (1841-1925). Written for young readers yet based upon the enduring medieval traditions surrounding King Arthur, Merlin, Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, Sir Gawain, the Round Table, and the Quest for the Holy Grail. Published by the American Book Company as part of its educational series, this work introduced generations of American schoolchildren to the legends of Camelot through Baldwin's engaging prose while preserving much of the spirit of Sir Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur. The edition remains one of Baldwin's most appealing Arthurian works. Illustrated throughout with numerous striking black-and-white drawings by Arthur E. Becher, many signed in the plate. Becher's dramatic illustrations of knights, castles, battles, woodland adventures, and legendary figures substantially enhance the volume and are a notable feature of this edition. Bibliographic references identify this 1910 edition as illustrated by Arthur Becher. A charming period chromolithographed advertising trade card depicting pigs and bearing the humorous caption "Excuse haste and a poor pen" is laid into the volume. While unrelated to publication, it is a delightful survivor of late nineteenth- or early twentieth-century printed ephemera and accompanies the book. Condition Good. Original decorative cloth binding with moderate to heavy shelf wear. Spine shows significant rubbing and cloth loss at both head and foot, with additional rubbing along the joints. Corners worn. Decorative front cover remains attractive with black stamping still clearly visible. Binding remains sound. Interior considerably nicer than exterior. Pages are clean with only scattered light foxing. Numerous full-page and text illustrations remain sharp and attractive. No writing noted in the text. Includes the loose period advertising trade card described above. A solid, honest collectible copy with an especially appealing interior despite exterior wear. Historical Significance James Baldwin's educational retellings became classics of American school literature during the early twentieth century. For countless readers, this volume served as a first introduction to the legends of King Arthur and the ideals of medieval chivalry. Arthur Becher's illustrations elevate the book beyond a standard school text, combining strong narrative scenes with the dramatic pen-and-ink style associated with America's Golden Age of Illustration. Arthur Becher (illustrator). …
