La via del tabacco

E.P. Caldwell Einaudi - Nuovi Coralli - I personaggi della Via del tabacco sono poveri bianchi della Georgia, caratterizzati da quella ottusità egoistica che scaturisce da una estrema miseria materiale e morale. Al centro della vicenda e' la famiglia dei Lester: la moglie Ada, la cui unica aspirazione è avere un vestito e un cappello nuovi, la vecchia nonna, sempre alla ricerca di cibo e di tabacco, la piccola Pearl, infantilmente atterrita dal marito cui suo padre l'ha letteralmente venduta, Dude, il figlio sedicenne e un po' scemo, e Bessie, la predicatrice quarantenne che se lo è sposato. Ma su tutto campeggia il capofamiglia Jeeter che da tanti anni ormai si ostina a coltivare a cotone il proprio pezzo di terra.. spedizione non tracciata euro 1,90 tracciata euro 4,90 copertina pieghevole - pagg. 203 - Lit.

NEBBIA ROSSA di Patricia Cornwell

Kay Scarpetta deve incontrare alla Georgia Prison for Women una detenuta colpevole di reati sessuali e madre di un diabolico killer. Kay è determinata a far parlare la donna per scoprire che cosa è davvero successo al suo vice, Jack Fielding, ucciso sei mesi prima. È una ricerca personale e anche professionale, dal momento che Kay sta seguendo un'indagine che riguarda una serie di macabri crimini che lei è convinta abbiano a che fare anche con la morte di Jack Fielding. L'uccisione di un'intera famiglia a Savannah, una giovane donna nel braccio della morte e una catena di altre morti inspiegabili sembrano essere tutti collegati fra loro. Ma chi c'è dietro tutto questo e perché? Kay Scarpetta scopre presto che questo è solo l'inizio di qualcosa di più terribile: un complotto terroristico internazionale. E lei è l'unica che può fermarlo. COME NUOVO, COPERTINA FLESSIBILE A EURO per spese invio come piego di libri ordinario (con CAUSA DI MORTE a 9,50 invio compreso)

Xcites: The Flamingo Book of New French Writing

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: de Chamberet, Georgia, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins UK, Rather as Britain did in the s, France has in the s seemingly begun to accept and analyze, rather than resist and deny, the irrefutable fact that it is now a bubbling bouillabaisse of cultures, attitudes, faiths, languages and traditions. France now puts out some credibly cool and interesting pop music; its World Cup-winning national football team now has more exotically surnamed, fantastically loose-limbed players than any other; its film directors are getting less cerebral and more visceral, all the great theoreticians have been toppled from their pedestals and a political philosopher is the last thing any self-respecting young French thing wants to be. All this alteration is being reflected and refracted in French literature, which has woken from decades of barren formalism to new life. Here are the rising young stars of French literature, from the brutal post-feminism of Virginie Despentes to the "noir" thrills of Tonino Benaquista.

The Edge of Marriage: Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kaplan, Hester, PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, In nine stories of tension-filled choices, difficult awakenings, and ironic twists, characters in The Edge of Marriage ride the wavering line between commitments and promises. Full of conflict, betrayal, illness, manipulation, and indecision, these stories portray men and women on the brink of defeat and drastic change. In "Claude Comes and Goes" a husband confesses his sympathy and affection for his wife's dying former lover. "The Spiral" captures the crippling effects of miscommunication and unresolved grief. In "Dyaesthesia" a wife and mother grapples with her feelings about her marriage and her husband after he is maimed in an accident. Characters trapped in troubled relationships and on the edge of society walk along Hester Kaplan's "edge": an out-of-wedlock child, a grown victim of child abuse, the male lover of a married man with AIDS. The title stoW confronts the complexity of friendship, love, and marriage, as a husband faces his wife's emotional breakdown and his own surfacing resentments. This sometimes startling, frequently poignant collection is illuminated by keen insight and tempered with somber hope.

Iced Chiffon

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Duffy, PUBLISHER: Berkley, "There's always something to gossip about in Savannah, Georgia, and Reagan Summerside always seems to be in the middle of it. She's busy enough running her consignment shop, The Prissy Fox, with her vivacious Auntie KiKi, but now the gossip--and the sales--are about to pick up after a gruesome discovery..." Reagan's messy divorce has left her with nothing but a run-down Victorian and a bunch of designer clothes. Strapped for cash, Reagan makes use of the two things she has left, turning the first floor of her home into a consignment shop and filling it with the remnants of her rich-wife wardrobe. Thanks to his cunning lawyer Walker Boone, her ex got everything else, including the Lexus--not to mention a young blond cupcake. When Reagan finds the cupcake dead in the Lexus, she's determined to beat Boone to finding the murderer. As it turns out, the gossip fiends flooding Reagan's shop will give her a lot more than just their unwanted clothes--they have information more precious than a vintage Louis Vuitton...

Redefining Southern Culture: Mind and Identity in the Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cobb, James C., PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, From the creation of the first "New South" in the wake of Appomattox to the current struggles over the Confederate flag, Redefining Southern Culture surveys the remarkable story of southern identity and its persistence in the face of sweeping changes in the South's economy, society; and political structure. Rejecting the conventional continuity-versus-change framework, James C. Cobb instead illustrates how the evolution of southern culture synthesized these two forces in recent years. Throughout this lively and engaging volume, Cobb examines southern identity in its constantly changing forms, from history and literature to blues and country music to popular and consumer cultures. Cobb also presents the first detailed account of the efforts of African Americans in the South to reclaim their identity as southerners and to construct their own symbolic and substantive representations of what that identity means. The essays in Redefining Southern Culture reflect James C. Cobb's career-long interest in exploring southern cultural identity and the interaction of this identity with the economic, social, and political forces that have transformed the region. Written in a refreshingly straightforward and engaging style, this book promises thoughtful reading for anyone interested in the modern South and will be a valuable resource for courses in southern history and culture.

Gender Camouflage: Women and the U. S. Military

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sorin, Gerald / D'Amico, Francine / Weinstein, Laurie, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, Controversy about women in the military continues, yet women's relations with the military go far beyond whether they serve in the ranks. Gender Camouflage brings together a diverse array of authors to explore the controversy surrounding women's military service, to examine the invisibility of civilian women who support the institution, and to expose the military's efforts to camouflage their support and contributions. Contributors first consider nurses, servicewomen, military academy students, female veterans, and lesbians. The focus then shifts to military wives, women employed by the DoD, and female civilian military instructors whose work is less visible but no less essential to the institution. The book also examines the experiences of women outside of the military, such as "comfort women" near U.S. bases, women engaged in peacework, and women workers affected by military spending in the federal budget. Analytic chapters are juxtaposed with first-person narratives by women who have actually been there, including a member of the first gender-integrated class at West Point, the first female civilian instructors at the U.S. Naval Academy, and an African American Air Force Nurse Corps veteran. Contributors include Connie Reeves, Georgia Clark Sadler, Gwyn Kirk, and Joan Furey.

Taming the Great South Land: A History of the Conquest of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lines, William J., PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, William J. Lines traces Australia's history from the continent's geological origins, natural development, and earliest native cultures to its present-day state of population and economic overgrowth at the expense of the fragile environmental balance. In particular, Lines examines the period between Australia's British colonization and the present, illuminating a path of environmental destruction from the colonists' Enlightenment views to the end of our century. Indeed, the author's new afterword startles us with the urgency of Australia's plight. Lines describes in great detail the recent damages done to the continent's land, people, and national integrity in the name of "progress". He writes of continued land exploitation through mining, deforestation, and the excessive animal, plant, and land resource consumption of Australia's burgeoning population. Although he places considerable blame on government officials and economic developers, Lines argues that Western civilization as a whole must change its view of the land and its resources. The scope of Taming the Great South Land reaches far beyond the continental boundaries of Australia and other political world borders. He urges us to recognize the magnitude of our responsibility, as a world community, to preserve the natural balances on which our very existence depends.
