Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and Other Works is a leather'flex volume in Canterbury Classics Word Cloud series that gathers several major writings by the great abolitionist and orator Frederick Douglass. It centers on his 1845 slave narrative, in which Douglass recounts his birth into slavery in Maryland, his brutal treatment under several masters, his self-'education, and his eventual escape to freedom, offering a searing first-'person indictment of American slavery. This edition typically runs about 440 pages and is printed in English with decorative bindings intended to appeal both to readers and to collectors. Beyond the original *Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave*, the book also includes additional speeches and writings that expand on Douglass's arguments for emancipation, equal rights, and Black citizenship, giving readers a fuller picture of his political thought and rhetorical power. As part of the Word Cloud Classics line from Canterbury Classics, it pairs an accessible, affordable text with attractive design, making it well suited for students, general readers of American history, and those building libraries of classic works on slavery and abolition.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. DRAMATIC: ILLUMINATING: INDISPENSABLE: CANDID: VIBRANT: INEXHAUSTIVELY RICH: NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2006): NEW handsomely-illustrated mylar-protected jacket w/ sharp NEW edges & corners * 6.26" x 9.48" x 2.06", 1.44 kg, xxviii+836 (864) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: Sergey Prokofiev, a compulsive diarist & gifted & idiosyncratic writer, possessed an incorrigibly sardonic curiosity about individuals & events. When he left Russia after the 1917 Revolution, his diaries were recovered from the family flat in Petrograd & later hidden at considerable personal risk by the composer Nikolai Myaskovsky. Prokofiev himself smuggled them out of the country after his first return to the Soviet Union in 1927. The later diaries, written in the West, were brought back by legal decree after the composer's death in 1953, to be kept in an inaccessible section of the Soviet State Archive. Eventually Prokofiev's son Sviatoslav was allowed to transcribe the voluminous contents. When he & his son Sergei eventually emigrated to Paris, they undertook the gigantic task of reproducing the partially encoded manuscript in an intelligible form. "Diaries, 1907-1914", the first of three volumes that extend to 1933, covers Prokofiev's years at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. Simultaneously attached to & exasperated by the tradition exemplified by composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov, Glazunov, & Tcherepnin, the brash young genius relishes the power of his talent to irritate, challenge, & finally overcome the establishment. In candid & lively prose, he records the all-too-normal preoccupations of a young man making his way in the brilliant social & artistic circles of the prewar Russian capital. Virtually every artist & musician of note appears in these pages, in penetrating & not always flattering vignettes. Prokofiev's main subject, however, is music, its creation & its performance. He reveals his own developing aesthetic principles through his assessments of the works of others, even as he composes such early masterpieces as the "First & Second Piano Concertos", "The Ugly Duckling", the "First Violin Concerto", & the "Classical Symphony". An inexhaustibly rich portrait of a vibrant artistic culture on the edge of war & revolution, Prokofiev's "Diaries" are both a dramatic illumination of a great composer's creativity & an indispensable contribution to our understanding of musical modernism. They constitute an essential and entertaining reference for all lovers of Prokofiev's music. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "It is my good fortune to have been a close acquaintance of the genius Sergey Prokofiev. Before coming to know him personally i knew many of his works & admired him w/o reservation as a composer, but after 1948 & his death we met very frequently indeed. He was a man of unique character: candid, possessed of an exceptionally penetrating wit & deeply held convictions. The publication of his diaries, first in Russian & now in English is a great event. We must be grateful to those who have made this possible & who have thereby revealed to us the life of one of the greatest composers & men of the 20th century." -Mstislav Rostropovich. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR-TRANSLATOR: ANTHONY PHILLIPS is the translator of "Story of a Friendship: The Letters of Dmitry Shostakovich to Isaak Glikman, 1941-1975", also from Cornell. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this superb book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost charge) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Bill Reid and Beyond: Expanding on Modern Native Art, Duffek, Karen [Editor]; Townsend-Gault, Charlotte [Editor]; Phillips, Ruth B. [Preface]; Collison, Nika [Foreword]. Published by University of Washington Press, 2004. First Edition. 8vo up to 9½" tall., 309pp. black and white photos, bibliography, biography of contributors. In fine, unread condition. Bill Reid's work has long been acknowledged for its astute and eloquent analysis of Haida tradition, and for the paradox of making modern art from the old Haida stories. It helped to make the so-called renaissance of Northwest Coast Native art visible to all. Bill Reid and Beyond pays Reid the compliment of expanding on his own clear-eyed self-scrutiny as he came to stand for Native art and artists, more perhaps than he would have wished. The book's nineteen contributors write from many perspectives, breaking down boundaries between art history and anthropology, between academic and artist, between colleague and politician.

" Work on Trial is a collection of studies of eleven major cases and events that have helped to shape the legal landscape of work in Canada. While most of the cases are well-known because of the impact they have had on collective bargaining, individual employment law, or human rights, less is known about the social and political contexts in which the cases arose, the backgrounds and personalities of the judges and the litigants, the legal manoeuvres that were employed, or the ultimate fate of all those who were involved. These studies, written by some of Canada's leading labour and legal historians, provide this context. Beginning with Toronto Electric Commissioners v. Snider, one of the earliest and most important cases involving the division of powers in the Canadian federation, to the events leading to the articulation of the "Rand Formula" in the immediate post Second World War period, and on to the struggles of women workers in the late 20th century in challenging the continu-ing employment practices based on hegemonic gender-based assumptions, each study tells a compelling story, rich in detail and full of perceptive insights into the complex relationship between law and work.".

In Christopher Moore's lively and engaging history of the Court of Appeal for Ontario, he traces the evolution of one of Canada's most influential courts from its origins as a branch of the lieutenant governor's executive council to the post-Charter years of cutting-edge jurisprudence and national influence. Discussing the issues, personalities, and politics which have shaped Ontario's highest court, The Court of Appeal for Ontario offers appreciations of key figures in Canada's legal and political history including John Beverly Robinson, Oliver Mowat, Bora Laskin, and Bertha Wilson and a serious examination of what the right of appeal means and how it has been interpreted by Canadians over the last two hundred years. The first comprehensive history of the Ontario Court of Appeal, Moore's book is the definitive and eminently readable account of the court that has been called everything from a bulwark against tyranny to murderer's row.

À vingt-quatre ans, Clyde est déjà un criminel endurci. Bonnie, d'un an plus jeune, l'a suivi pour échapper à la misère de sa vie au Texas. Ils sont bientôt rejoints par le frère aîné de Clyde, Buck Barrow, et sa femme Blanche. La police aux trousses, ils se lancent dans une fuite en avant forcenée, braquant et tuant sur leur passage. Ils sont persuadés que leurs jours sont comptés. Ils ont raison : Bucke est blessé et capturé et, en mai 1934, Bonnie et Clyde sont pris dans une embuscade et criblés de balles. Arrêtée en même temps que Buck, Blanche est condamnée à dix ans de prison et mène une vie paisible après sa peine. Les mémoires qu'elle a écrits pendant son incarcération ne deviennent publics que longtemps après sa mort. Elle y donne un témoignage inouï de l'intimité du plus célèbre couple criminel américain.
