"Norman Mailer has dominated the American literary scene since he burst into prominence at the age of twenty -five with the publication of The Naked and the Dead. The author of more than twenty books, including An American Dream, The Armies of the Night, The Executioner's Song, and Ancient Evenings, he is the preeminent novelist of his generation, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, a movie director, politician, pugilist, antiwar activist, hipster, philosopher, major cultural force and enfant terrible. The winner of every significant national literary award, never out of the limelight, Mailer has been maligned, loved, hated, belittled, idolized - but never ignored. Now, in a major biography that catches the full range of this extraordinary career, Peter Manso, noted reporter and interviewer for Playboy, presents Mailer in all his complexity and brilliance, in the words of those who have known him. Not since Edie has a book entered so entirely into a life and caught so fully the excitement and atmosphere of a period. Manso weaves together the words and recollections of Mailer's mother, sister, wives, lovers; his colleagues, admirers, detractors, and fellow writers, from James Baldwin and Kurt Vonnegut to E.L. Doctorow and George Plimpton - and, of course, Mailer himself. Among the contributors are William F. Buckley, Lillian Hellman, Allen Ginsberg, Alfred Kazin, Norman Podhoretz, Arthur Schlesinger, Liz Smith, Andy Warhol and Shelley Winters. Here are all the writing, fighting, drinking, brawling, living that have made Mailer a bigger-than-life legend. Manso relates, in the words of those who were there, the story of Mailer's childhood and years at Harvard, and the account of his experience as a foot soldier in World War II, which formed the basis of The Naked and the Dead. Here are the hectic yeare of the 1950s in Greenwich Village, the founding of The Village Voice, the drinking bouts with James Jones and James Baldwin. Manso outlines the wild years of the 1960s, the antiwar movement, the relationship with the Kennedys, the tragic stabbing of Mailer's second wife, and the triumphant publication of The Armies of the Night. The story describes the years in Provincetown, the relationship with Jack Henry Abbott, the publication of The Executioner's Song, and Mailer's return as a major novelist with the controversial best-seller Ancient Evenings. Mailer has stood at the center of the American era since the close of World War II. Manso captures the entire sweep of these tumultuous decades, from the war in the Pacific to the war in Vietnam to the present star wars. Mailer is at once a history of our time and of the protean figure who has presided over it. It is an extraordinary tapestry, a portrait of an era as well as a man. Here, at last, is a biography of Mailer as large and multifarious as its subject - and as overflowing with life. Mailer is a major literary event." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

"Christmas is all about a story, the story of a baby born to humble parents in a tiny Bethlehem stable under a brilliant eastern star -- a story that changed the world forever. So it comes as no surprise that some of Guideposts magazine's greatest stories about about Christmas, and how people are inspired and lives are changed at this blessed time of year. For there is a resonance from that birth that echoes through time and through our very hearts. Every story in this collection is proof of the enduring power of that first Christmas, true personal accounts of transformation told by ordinary people . and not -so-ordinary people. You will read about blessings, traditions, forgiveness, love, faith, giving, miracles, and angles. All the themes that make this season truly holy. Have you ever felt lonely at Christmas? Widower Jimmy Gupton did, until he took in a struggling young married couple with a baby on the way. Jimmy learned that there is always room at the inn, and always a reason to go on living. A copywriter who yearns to give gifts that really mean something has her prayer answered in a way she could have never imagined. A single mom struggling to raise two young daughters discovers the power of a puppy to soothe hurting hearts. A firefighter's vivid and disturbing dream saves a family from death on Christmas Eve. Then there is the account of a mysterious disappearance of the Christ Child from the manger scened at Victory Church. Who could have done such a thing? You'll be surprised to find out. I was. Almost as surprised as I was to learn how writer Kitty Slattery's missing tooth led her to a deeper understanding of the Christmas spirit. There are familiar names too. Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart will tell you why it really is "a wonderful life" and what that classic holiday movie meant to him on the most personal level. Celebrated ornament-maker Christopher Radko introduces you to his Polish grandmother and explains how the desire not to disappoint her led him to design his first beautiful creations. Beloved actor Michael Landon talks about the angels in his life, human and otherwise. My favorite holiday stories, though, come from our "His Mysterious Ways" feature -- year in and year out the most popular page in the magazine. Here you will meet people from all walks of life who have experienced something inexplicable, even miraculous, at Christmastime -- incredible stories that will send a shiver down your spine and warm your heart as well. This book is filled with stories you will never forget from the little magazine that has inspired millions of readers for sixty years. So go ahead, start reading, and find out why Guideposts is America's favorite magazine, especially at Christmas. -- Edward Grinnan, editor-in-chief, Guideposts." -- from the Foreword.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The editorial work in this sequel, to Gallipoli Diary by Cyril Lawrence, has involved much research and some condensing. The localities were left unnamed by Lawrence due to the rigours of censorship, and Peter Yule had to spend many hours chasing names on maps of France and Belgium. This second book will stand beside Gallipoli Diary and complete the literary memorial of a gallant soldier of the first A.I.F. **The book has light tanning and the name of the previous owner written inside the front cover (Google the name Edna Brill) and the jacket is sun faded at the spine.**.
