London: Chaucer Press, 2004. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 153 pages plus index and acknowledgments. If music is the food of love, poetry has always been its chosen language. Since time immemorial, lovers of all cultures have expressed their passion and pain in verse, finding in the fluid wealth of poetry a means of embodying the most powerful emotion. Countless poets through the ages, both male and female, have immortalised the journeys of their hearts in verse, and their sincere and moving words still speak to us today. Illustrated with paintings from many cultures and times, which reflect the diversity and broad cultural origins of the poems, Thousand Years of Love Poetry is a celebration of the delights and torments of love. Anyone who is, or has been, or would like to be, in love cannot fail to be moved by this extraordinary collection of poetry.., Chaucer Press, 2004, 3.5, Ace, 2010. 1st Printing. Soft cover. New. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. 170 x 106 mm. Language: English Brand New Book. View our feature on Dianne Sylvan s Queen of Shadows Meet Miranda Grey--music and magic are in her blood. Overwhelmed by her uncanny ability to manipulate people s emotions through her music, Miranda Grey comes to the attention of vampire lord David Solomon. Believing he can help bring her magic under control, David discovers that Miranda s powers may affect the vampire world too., Ace, 2010, 6, New York: Viking; Penguin, 2007. 231 pages; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated First American edition. Fine DJ. A fine copy of the first printing. "In this brilliant new work of fiction, J. M. Coetzee once again breaks new literary ground with a book that is, in the words of its main character, 'a response to the present in which I find myself.' Diary of a Bad Year takes on the world of politics--a new topic for Coetzee--and explores the role of the writer in our times with an extraordinary moral compass. At the center of the book is Seor C, an aging author who has been asked to write his thoughts on the state of the world by his German publisher. These thoughts, called 'Strong Opinions,' address a wide range of subjects and include a scathing indictment of Bush, Cheney, and Blair, as well as a witheringly honest examination of everything from Machiavelli and the current state of the university to music, literature, and intelligent design, offering unexpected perceptions and insightful arguments along the way. Meanwhile, someone new enters the writer?s life: Anya, the beautiful young woman whom he hires to type his manuscript. The relationship that develops between Seor C and Anya has a profound effect on both of them. It also changes the course of Anya's relationship with Alan, the successful, swaggering man whom she lives with--and who has designs on Seor C's bank account. Through these characters, Coetzee creates an ingenious literary game that will enthrall readers and surprise them with its emotional power. Bold, funny, and sad, as well as intellectually clever and satisfying, Diary of a Bad Year is a journey into the mind and heart of one of the world's most acclaimed and accomplished writers. / J. M. Coetzee was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2003. He has won many other literary awards, including the Booker Prize (twice), the Prix .tranger Femina, the Lannan Literary Award, The Irish Times International Fiction Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Prize, and South Africa's premier literary award, the CNA Prize. The author of eighteen books, he is a native of South Africa, and now lives in Australia." - Publisher.. 1st. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo. Collectible., Viking; Penguin, 2007, 5<
