As the girl stares at him she remembers her mother's cries as he beat her and how he laughed as he played his favourite game of throwing knives at them. As the girl grows up she is haunted by an undefinable fear, terror and obsession and her condition worsens after she marries, repeatedly attempting suicide and develops severe psychological disorders, manifesting in multiple personalities.

Imprint: London, Hodder and Stoughton, 2006 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, First printing. The author practises as a barrister and in 1996 became a part-time judge - one of the first black women to sit as a judge in the UK. Her mother systematically abused her, both physically and emotionally, throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, she was so desperate that she took herself off to Social Services and tried to get into care. When that failed, she swallowed bleach 'because it kills all known germs and my mother always told me I was a germ'. When Constance was 13, her mother simply moved out, leaving her daughter to fend for herself - there was no gas, no electricity and no food. But somehow she found the courage to survive her terrible start in life and this is her heartrending - and ultimately triumphant - story. 12. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, SCM Press, 1969 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. Uniform with the Library of Philosophy and Theology Series. Religious claims seem to be becoming increasingly problematical, and it is not simply that many find them to be untrue, rather they seem to hover on the verge of meaninglessness. The words are familiar, but the uses to which they are put are often baffling, and there is an apparent 'intelligibility gap' between the believer and unbeliever. This intelligibility gap forms the starting point for Dr. Brown's original and highly important study, and in the course of the book he examines attitudes towards it taken up by many recent philosophers and theologians, and the explanations they give. **** NOT EX LIB **** R1.

Imprint: New York, The Viking Press, 1980 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a small crease to lower spine tail) with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. xv + 490 pages. Illustrated throughout with drawings, engravings and photographs. The book traces the history of popular theatrical forms in France from their heyday in the 18th century to their revival and transformation in the 20th century. The author's theme throughout is the deep divide between 'official' French culture and a popular tradition that survived on the edges of civic life, adapting itself to the censorial policies imposed first by the monarchy and later by bourgeois governments. The book is an important contribution to European cultural history and contains some fascinating personal stories: the interwoven portraits of major figures in European theter are remarkable contributions to the biographical genre. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.015 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** 13.

Imprint: New York, Guggenheim Museum, 1999 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. A large format volume of 211 pages. Over 200 colour and duotone reproductions. Preface by Thomas Krens. Preface by Juan Ignacio Vidarte. No building has been more anticipated than Frank Gehry's stunning new museum in Bilbao, an industrial city in the Basque country of northern Spain. Philip Johnson, the dean of American architects, has already declared it to be 'the greatest building of our time,' while Sverre Fehn, the winner of the 1999 Pritzker Architecture Prize (Gehry received the award in 1989), stated , 'This buiding is fantastic.' Gehry's use of non-traditional materials and his sensitivity to the environments for his buildings is legendary; his method of envisioning a building through semi-automatic drawings and handmade models is little known, but provides an immediate entry into his creative process. This book celebrates the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and details the design process that is an intrinsic part of Gehry's revolutionary approach to architecture. Art historian and artist Coosje van Bruggen, who has collaborated with Gehry on various architectural and art projects, documents the history of the Guggenheim Bilbao from conception through design and construction. With unique access to the architect and his studio, she has uncovered scores of fascinating drawings and working photographs, publishe here for the first time.

Imprint: Jackson, Mississippi, University Press of Mississippi, 1999 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A new unread copy still sealed in publisher's celophane wrapper. 312 pages. Critics and film historians throughout the world praise Martin Scorsese as the greatest living American director. In this collection of interviews covering a period of two decades, Scorsese's own words, sometimes emotionally direct and always revealing, trace his astonishing career. From the moment he captured the film world's attention with Mean Streets, a heavily autobiographical portrait of life at the fringes of the mob, it was clear that a dazzling cinematic talent had arrived on the scene. With Robert De Niro, one of the most talented young actors from this film, Scorsese went on to make some of the greatest American films of the postwar period, including Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Goodfellas. 50.
