A literary "cause celebre" when first published more than fifty years ago, Gore Vidal's now-classic The City and the Pillar stands as a landmark novel of the gay experience. Jim, a handsome, all-American athlete, has always been shy around girls. But when he and his best friend, Bob, partake in "awful kid stuff," the experience forms Jim's ideal of spiritual completion. Defying his parents' expectations, Jim strikes out on his own, hoping to find Bob and rekindle their amorous friendship. Along the way he struggles with what he feels is his unique bond with Bob and with his persistent attraction to other men. Upon finally encountering Bob years later, the force of his hopes for a life together leads to a devastating climax. The first novel of its kind to appear on the American literary landscape, The City and the Pillar" "remains a forthright and uncompromising portrayal of sexual relationships between men.
With his journeys through Hell and Purgatory complete, Dante is at last led by his beloved Beatrice to Paradise. Where his experiences in the "Inferno" and "Purgatorio" were arduous and harrowing, this is a journey of comfort, revelation, and, above all, love-both romantic and divine. Robert Hollander is a Dante scholar of unmatched reputation and his wife, Jean, is an accomplished poet. Their verse translation with facing-page Italian combines maximum fidelity to Dante's text with the artistry necessary to reflect the original's virtuosity. They have produced the clearest, most accurate, and most readable translation of the three books of "The Divine Comedy," with unsurpassable footnotes and introductions, likely to be a touchstone for generations to come.
During the Nuremberg trials, Dr. Leon Goldensohn-a psychiatrist for the U.S. Army-monitored the mental health of two dozen German leaders charged with carrying out genocide. These recorded conversations have gone largely unexamined for more than fifty years, until Robert Gellately-one of the premier historians of Nazi Germany-made them available to the public in this remarkable collection.Here are interviews with the likes of Hans Frank, Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop-the highest ranking Nazi officials in the Nuremberg jails. Here too are interviews with lesser-known officials essential to the inner workings of the Third Reich. Candid and often shockingly truthful, "The Nuremberg Interviews" is a profound addition to our understanding of the Nazi mind and mission.

Kurt Godel's Incompleteness Theorems sent shivers through Vienna's intellectual circles and directly challenged Ludwig Wittgenstein's dominant philosophy. Alan Turing's mathematical genius helped him break the Nazi Enigma Code during WWII. Though they never met, their lives strangely mirrored one another--both were brilliant, and both met with tragic ends. Here, a mysterious narrator intertwines these parallel lives into a double helix of genius and anguish, wonderfully capturing not only two radiant, fragile minds but also the zeitgeist of the era.

The time is 1975. The place is an unnamed city by the sea.

As the characters move from distrust to friendship and from friendship to love, A Fine Balance creates an enduring panorama of the human spirit in an inhuman state.

The Conflict Between Good and Evil Watch the evening news. Turn on your car radio. Scan today's newspaper. What do you see? Hear? Read? A mix of news, good and bad--but mostly bad. Some of it is downright frightening. What is the world coming to? The news media can tell you what's happening. But this book will tell you why. And The Great Controversy will tell you something you'll never hear on the evening newscast. This book will tell you what is going to happen! Unstable economies. Nuclear tensions. Unpredictable terrorism. AIDS. The New Age and the New Right. The occult--and the cults. Where is it all leading? The Great Controversy begins at the dawning of the Christian era, tracing the rise and fall of nations and religious powers down to our day, then plunges ahead to preview the future. And what the book sees coming is based on a source of predictions which has never yet missed in its prophecies. The title of this book refers to the great cosmic war that erupted in the universe thousands of years ago and has raged ever since. Few people alive today realize that this earth is the primary battle zone of that war. And fewer still know why the war is being fought and how and when it will end. But after reading this book, you'll be one of them. Ellen White was a woman of remarkable spiritual gifts who lived most of her life during the nineteenth century (1827-1915), yet through her writings she is still making a revolutionary impact on millions of people around the world. During her lifetime she wrote more than 5,000 periodical articles and 40 books; but today, including compilations from her 50,000 pages of manuscript, more than 100 titles are available in English. She is the most translated woman writer in the entire history of literature, and the most translated American author of either gender. Her writings cover a broad range of subjects, including religion, education, social relationships, evangelism, prophecy, publishing, nutrition, and management. Her life-changing masterpiece on successful Christian living, Steps to Christ, has been published in more than 140 languages. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
