From dust jacket: She was a restless, enigmatic loner who could never settle down, yet whose brilliantly disciplined prose sang with the darkness and difficult truths of twentieth-century human experience. The early loss of her mother, literary vendettas in New York, political intrigues in revolutionary Mexico and with Herman Goring in Nazi Germany, three marriages, several affairs, and the horrible nightmare tragedy of Hart Crane were but a few of the episodes of her life. She turned her experiences into art and dreamed of glory -- something different from fame or success or wealth -- driven on by an intense urge to write. Katherine Anne Porter (!890 - 1980) was a controversial author whose stubborn regard for truth, the power of language, and her own singular talent launched a remarkable literary career that included, Pale Horse, Pale Rider, Ship of Fools, and The Collected Stories, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. This is a chronicle of many of the events, opinions, and passions of her life as recalled by her during weeks of taped conversations with E. H. Loez, who knew Porter well in her later years. Intimate, outspoken, unapologetic, it is an intriguing contribution to our understanding of her history, the remembered fortunes of a tough-minded writer who revealed to us so much about man in the modern world.

Octavo, russet cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, gilt decoration to upper cover, map illus. endpapers, xix, 299 pp. Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, foremost historian of New World exploration, Samuel Eliot Morison now turns his formidable talents to the life of Samuel de Champlain, "Father of New France." Champlain was a born explorer, establishing peaceful relations with the Algonquin and Huron, founding the colony of Quebec, charting the Atlantic coast from Newfoundland to the tip of Cape Cod, and exploring routes to the west. For thirty years he did everything in his power to make the French settlements permanent and self-sufficient -- and had he been permitted, his explorations might well have put the French flag over Manhattan Island before the Dutch arrived. Champlain was also an artist, who drew sketches of plants, fish, ships, stockades, forts and battles; a mapmaker, so accurate his charts could be used on a cruise today; and a writer, whose Voyages are a rich source of Canadian history and whose Treatise on Seamanship, included in this book, is still an eminently practical handbook of navigation. Some of the finest of his drawings are reproduced in this volume as well, and the lively captions which Champlain wrote himself provide a running chronicle of the hazard, the curiosity, and the eleation which an explorer found in anchorages few white men had seen before. But most of all, Champlain was a man -- a natural leader, an individual filled with humanity who inspired loyalty and obedience. The Indians liked and trusted him -- he treated them fairly, and for months on end shared their lives in the wilderness -- and with patience, valor and judgment he led his struggling band of colonists through the hardships of a foreign land into a bold new Canada. With his characteristically lively and vivid prose backed up by impeccable research, Samuel Eliot Morison definitely re-creates the public -- and private -- life of this remarkable man. His book is a fitting tribute from one great mariner to another: Samuel de Champlain: Father of New France.

Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt decoration to spine, gilt letters to upper cover, blind stamped wreath to upper cover, red endpapers with printed Chronology, xvii, 793 pp. Very Good, with former owner inscription and light soiling to page edges, in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: .This brilliant biography challenges the cherished myths of MacArthur's fans and critics alike. Solidly researched and scrupulously objective, it re-creates the past with that sense of immediacy which characterizes William Manchester's best work. Various critics have offered different explanations for the author's driving, endlessly readable prose. American Caesar presents MacArthur in all his many-faceted glory, complexity, and contradiction. Here is MacArthur the military genius capable of masterpieces of strategy (the Bataan retreat, Hollandia, the landing at Inchon) and inexplicable lapses (knowing Pearl Harbor had been attacked, he let his Philippine air force be destroyed on the ground nine hours later by the Japanese); the fifty-four-year-old four-star general who was terrified that his mother would find out that he kept a young Eurasian mistress; the lean, chiseled figure who beneath his stern Roman front was restive and high-strung, an embodiment of machismo who frequently wept; the marinet who had been so willing to rout hungry World War I veterans in the Depression, yet was so economical of human life in his campaigns that his total casualties from Australia to V-J Day were fewer than Eisenhower's in the single Battle of the Bulge; the symbol of reactionary politics who, during his years as an American viceroy in Japan, introduced the Japanese to civil liberties, labor unions, equal rights for women, and land reform; the consummate performer who yearned for public adulation but whose hauteur and disdainful treatment of the press guaranteed that he would never get it. Here too is a previously unknown MacArthur, whose whole life was the army and yet who at the end of it asserted, "I am a one hundred percent disbeliever in war," and who on his deathbed begged Lyndon Johnson to stay out of Vietnam. Here above all, definitely realized in American Caesar, is the astonishing soldier-hero whose mystery and appeal will never fade away. The unraveling of this unique, and uniquely American, legend is William Manchester's finest achievement.

Octavo, green cloth & gray marbled boards (hardcover), silver letters, marbled endpapers, uncut, 256 pp. Near Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with sunned spine & edges, light edgewear. From dust jacket: Grand Manan is an awesome island, craggy-clipped, thickly wooded, often shrouded in fog. It stands solid, fifteen and a half miles long and six and a half miles at its widest, off the northernmost tip of the Maine coast at the mout of the Bay of Fundy. Around Grand Manan flows the cold Labrador Current, filled with herring, cod and lobster, and the wet winds off the bay nourish the land's lush meadows and dense ancient forests. Sanibel lies just off the Western coast of Florida, in the Gulf of Mexico. About twelve miles long, Sanibel was created by the accumulation of shells and mangrove swamps building over the millennia into a gentle sandspit whose highest point, a grove of lime trees and palmettos, is fourteen feet above sea level. Two islands, one north, one south, both inhabited yet still largely unspoiled and unexploited. Two Islands is their stories. In Two Islands, Katharine Scherman invites the reader to share her recurring delight in every facet of these islands' landscapes. She sketches geological formations and historical backgrounds, then describes her own explorations of forests, swamps, sandy beaches, and chilly bluffs. Each island emerges as a small separate world whose spell can make the larger world and its preoccupations seem far away and irrelevant.
