Hardcover. Condition: Good. Smolover, Barbara (illustrator). illustrated edition. Americans are practical people, and they have a gift for coining pithy phrases. Much of the wit and wisdom commonly attributed to other cultures has, in fact, had its origin in America -- in the cornfields, coal mines, timberlands, and on the reservations and city streets of yesteryear. This collection of over 150 proverbs captures the colourful and diversified ways Americans uniquely express their views of life. All proverbs are arranged by topic: Body and Mind, Friendship and Family, Men and Women, Money, The Spirit, African American Proverbs, Native American Proverbs, and Selected Proverbs by State. Twenty-five exquisite illustrations bring this collection to life.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Reprint Edition. [Read by Wanda McCaddon]Realistic, moving, engrossing, and positively brilliant, this biography recreates Mozart, the man and his music, against the background of the world he lived in. For Marcia Davenport, the research and writing of Mozart was truly a labor of love, during which she retraced every journey he made, saw every dwelling (then extant) in which he had ever lived, every theatre where his works were first performed, and every library and museum where his manuscripts were then to be seen. In this eloquent work of historical reconstruction, Davenport lets her characters tell their own stories. She builds from Mozart's infancy toward the climactic meeting in 1787 of Mozart, Lorenzo Da Ponte, and Casanova in Prague, when Don Giovanni was being written, to Mozart's tragically early death. The result is a biography of such commanding stature that it has remained unassailable since its publication in 1932.

Author Maura Laverty, a leading Irish playwright, novelist and culinary writer, beckons readers through the door of the traditional Irish kitchen, to the heart of the family's life. Each of the eleven chapters begins with an engaging anecdote that puts the food into its context-- whether it is prepared to celebrate an occasion, to welcome friends, or even to seduce!With simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these recipes will help the home chef create a rich, plentiful Irish feast. Among the 200 recipes are classics like "Irish Stew" and "Mince Pie," which Oliver Cromwell unsuccessfully attempted to ban because of its then-religious shape. Feasting Galore also features holiday specialties such as "Christmas Pudding" and Halloween delicacies, "Boxty," "Barmbrack," and "Colcannon," which contain paper-wrapped charms that foretell the future. And of course, no Irish cookbook would be complete without beverages-- Laverty offers a chapter entitled "Slainte" (Good Health), which includes homemade wines, liquers, and the perfect recipe for the famed "Gaelic Coffee.".

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A New York Times Bestseller In The Life And Death of Adolf Hitler, biographer Robert Payne unravels the tangled threads of Hitler's public and private life and looks behind the caricature with the Charlie Chaplin mustache and the unruly shock of hair to reveal a Hitler possessed of immense personal charm that impressed both men and women and brought followers and contributions to the burgeoning Nazi Party. Although he misread his strength and organized an ill-fated putsch, Hitler spent his months in prison writing Mein Kampf, which increased his following. Once in undisputed command of the Party, Hitler renounced the chastity of his youth and began a sordid affair with his niece, whose suicide prompted him to reject forever all conventional morality. He promised anything to prospective supporters, then cold-bloodedly murdered them before they could claim a share of the power he reserved for himself. Once he became Chancellor, Hitler step by step bent the powers of the state to his own.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. In September 1939, some 15,000 Polish officers were taken prisoner by the invading Red Army and put in camps at Ostashkov, Starobelsk and Kozelsk, USSR. The last their families ever heard from them were letters dated April and May 1940. In April 1943, the Germans told the world of a gruesome discovery in the forest of Katyn - mass graves of some 4,200 Polish prisoners of war.Making every effort to "prove" that the massacre was committed by Nazi Germany, the Soviet government wove a blanket of lies which tried to conceal the truth of the case for the next 50 years. Finally, in April of 1990, USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev admitted the Soviet Union's responsibility for the killings. Shortly after his announcement, the bodies of the officers from the prison camps at Ostashkov and Starobelsk were discovered in mass graves.It was the prisoners from Kozelsk who were taken to the Katyn forest in April and May of 1940, shot in the back of the head and dumped in common graves. These men, many of whom were reservists, were professionals earmarked for execution as part of Stalin's master plan to behead the Polish nation by destroying its elite.Originally published in the Soviet Union in January 1991 as the Labyrinth of Katyn, this book represents the first comprehensive attempt by a Soviet journalist to reveal the lies generated by the Soviet propaganda machine. Taking advantage of glasnost, a policy still in formation during much of his research, Abarinov cites many Soviet documents which had never before been published in any language.Abarinov analyzes such evidence as a statement by the daughter of the man who signed the execution papers, Pyotr Soprunenko - the Soviet version of Adolf Eichmann. In a 1990 interview, Yelena Soprunenko said: "l can tell you one thing. The order about the Polish officers came from Stalin himself. My father says he saw the actual paper, with Stalin's signature on it. So what was he to do? Get himself arrested? Or shot himself? My father is being made a scapegoat for things that were decided by other people."Drawing on Soviet articles, as well as Soviet archives, reminiscences, documents and records of his meetings with nearly 100 eyewitnesses, Abarinov definitively points out the real murderers of Katyn: the NKVD acting on Stalin's orders. This book represents the labors of an impassioned man who felt a moral obligation to set the record straight on a most heinous crime.Abarinov concludes: "The Katyn affair, beyond all doubt, is a war crime.forced repentance is still not an absolution from the scourge of Stalinism. Only the whole truth will guarantee our capacity for genuine moral regeneration. The process of destalinization is only just beginning. The main thing is not to stop halfway. Otherwise, the blanks will remain as dirty as they are now. These are stains on the conscience of the people, not on history."This edition includes an introduction and a chronology of events surrounding the Katyn affair written by Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski, American author of Poland: A Historical Atlas and Jews in Poland.
