A collection of essays and articles on art and literature, written over the course of the last twenty-five years by a writer who has earned recognition much for her academic status as for the accomplishment of her literary career. 7.5"x6", 214 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Anita Brookner was an English novelist and art historian. She was Slade Professor of Fine Art at the University of Cambridge from 1967 to 1968 and was the first woman to hold this visiting professorship. She was awarded the 1984 Booker-McConnell Prize for her novel Hotel du Lac. Brookner was born in Herne Hill, a suburb of London. She was the only child of Newson Bruckner, a Jewish immigrant from Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland, and Maude Schiska, a singer whose grand father had emigrated from Warsaw, Poland and founded a tobacco factory at which her husband worked after arriving in Britain aged 18. Her mother gave up her singing career when she married and, according to her daughter, was unhappy for the rest of her life. Maude changed the family's surname to Brookner because of anti-German sentiment in Britain. Anita Brookner had a lonely childhood, although her grandmother and uncle lived with the family, and her parents, secular Jews, opened their house to Jewish refugees escaping Nazi persecution during the 1930s and World War II. "I have said that I am one of the loneliest women in London" she said in her Paris Review interview. She was educated at the James Allen's Girls' School, a fee paying school. In 1949 she received a BA in history from King's College London, and in 1953 a doctorate in art history from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London. Under the supervision of Anthony Blunt, then director of the Courtauld, what was originally a Masters thesis on the French genre painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze was upgraded to a doctorate. However, she received a French government scholarship in 1950 to the École du Louvre and spent most of the decade living in Paris. In 1967, she became the first woman to hold the Slade Professorship of Fine Art at Cambridge University. She was a visiting lecturer at Reading University from 1959 to 1964 when she became a lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art. She was promoted to Reader at the Courtauld in 1977, where she worked until her retirement in 1988. She began her career as a specialist on 18th century French art but later extended her expertise to the romantics. She contributed articles to ArtReview in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Among her students at the Courtauld was art historian Olivier Berggruen, whose graduate work she advised. She was a Fellow of King's College London and of New Hall, Cambridge (Murray Edwards College from 2008). Brookner published her first novel, A Start in Life (1981), at the age of 53. Thereafter, she published roughly a novel a year. Brookner was highly regarded as a stylist. Her novels explore themes of emotional loss and difficulties associated with fitting into society, and typically depict intellectual, middle-class women who suffer isolation and disappointments in love. Many of Brookner's characters are the children of European immigrants to Britain; a number appear to be of Jewish descent. Hotel du Lac (1984), her fourth novel, was awarded the Booker-McConnell Prize in a year when Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard was considered the more likely winner. Brookner never married, but took care of her parents as they aged. Brookner commented in one interview that she had received several proposals of marriage, but had rejected all of them concluding men were "people with their own agenda, who think you might be fitted in if they lop off certain parts. You can see them coming a mile off." She died on 10 March 2016, at the age of 87. In 1990, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).. Book Condition: Very Good.

Satisfaction Guaranteed. A HORDE OF FREAKS HAS DESTROYED SALVATION, and it's up to Deuce, Fade, Stalker, and Tegan to lead the refugees to safety. Deuce decides the only way to fight an army is to raise one. At first, everyone laughs at the idea of a girl leading humanity's forces against the Freaks, but after proving herself in combat, she firmly establishes her qualifications for the role. Along the way, she works on healing Fade. He's suffering from a severe case of PTSD in an era when diagnosis is impossible. Further complicating his recovery, and their burgeoning romance, is his reluctance to being touched, a consequence of the horrors visited upon him by Freak hands. Deuce refuses to give up on him, however, and their resulting tender moments are all the more moving for being hard won. When Deuce learns the reason the Freaks are getting smarter, she realizes time is running out for her kind. Can she overcome or render a permanent truce with the enemy? Who will ultimately survive?.

4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. BN6 - A first edition (numberline starts at "1") hardcover book SIGNED and inscribed by Ann Liberman to previous owner on the top right corner of the front free endpaper in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket has some wrinkling, chipping and crease on the edges, light discoloration and shelf wear. Book has some some bumped corners, patch stain on the bottom of the front endpapers, previous owner's inscription written on the middle of the front free endpaper, light discoloration and shelf wear. Photographs by Alise O'Brien, Foreword by Governor Jeb Bush. 10.5"x8.75", 230 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. From the Greek Revival architecture found in Mississippi to the Queen Anne style of North Carolina, governors' mansions in the American South convey a passion for antiquity, as well as a regional elegance. Ann Liberman, author of Governors' Mansions of the Midwest, spent much of her life in Texas and admires the remarkable architecture of the antebellum South - a respect that she now brings to her newest book. Governors' Mansions of the South is devoted to the eleven states of the old Confederacy, plus Kentucky and West Virginia, and offers a brick-and-mortar reflection of the region's rich history. It includes the country's oldest governor's mansion in continuous use, in Virginia, plus two built as recently as the 1960s, in Louisiana and Georgia. These mansions reflect an architectural cohesiveness found throughout the South, as Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival styles imbue antebellum houses with a classical aura, while others built in the first quarter of the twentieth century reflect the monumental eclectic styles of the Beaux Arts era. Liberman provides readers with a room-by-room guided tour of each of the buildings as she comments on their architecture, symbolism, and lore. She places the mansions in historical context, describing how their locations were chosen, how they were designed and decorated, and how they have been preserved, lost, or transformed over the years. While focusing primarily on the buildings themselves, she also highlights those governors and their wives who played significant roles in the mansions' maintenance or renovation. Alise O'Brien's accompanying color photographs capture the lavish interiors and furnishings as well as the dignified exteriors and landscapes. "Living in the Governor's Mansion is a remarkable honor," writes former governor of Florida Jeb Bush in his foreword, "but it is also a constant, humbling reminder that the people who occupy the mansions are, indeed, the public's servants." For site visitors or architecture buffs, Governors' Mansions of the South is an enlightening introduction to these historic executive homes, reminding us that, however opulent, they provide a personal connection between the public and its government - and connect past generations to the present..
