Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Oh Excellent Air Bag: Under the Influence of Nitrous Oxide, 1799-1920. Book.

Paperback. Condition: Good. By the time of Lucian, popular religion had ceased to hold much influence over the hearts of the cultured classes. Philosophy was the new God, but there were efforts in some circles to divert men's minds from the philosophical sects and restore a sort of unorthodox faith in the old religion. Against this artificial revival of mythological faith, Lucian pitted the influence of his tremendous satirical powers. In the Dialogues of the Gods, he pulls the curtain aside-exposing the Gods as they engage in private disputes, domestic brawls, and love affairs, with their jealousies and scandals, their paltry strifes and petty motives. The lesson is simple: Can one worship beings with such weaknesses, such foibles, and such scandalous and immoral lives? This new translation by Baudelaire Jones breathes fresh life into ancient deities such as Zeus, Hera, Hermes, Aphrodite, Poseidon, and Athena, revealing complex, contradictory, sex-obsessed creatures that modern mortals can surely relate to.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Choice selections from J. R. Ware's irresistible Passing English of the Victorian Era (1909), distilled here for pure delight - including such gems as "Got the Morbs" (temporary melancholia), "Doing the Bear" (courting that involves hugging), and "Nanty Narking" (great fun).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hell is a hotel room in Paris, where a woman's one sin is repeated eternally; heaven sees Kant lead a man into "cubic time" and the beating heart of God. Together these tales, from Sinclair's Uncanny Stories (1923), trace a divine comedy in miniature: two indelible visions of the afterlife from an unjustly forgotten voice of modernism. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
