The Bad Side of Books: Selected Essays of D.H. Lawrence by D.H. Lawrence
English | November 12th, 2019 | ISBN: 1681373637 | 512 pages | EPUB | 1.23 MB

You could describe D.H. Lawrence as the great multi-instrumentalist among the great writers of the twentieth century. He was a brilliant, endlessly controversial novelist who transformed, for better and for worse, the way we write about sex and emotions; he was a wonderful poet; he was an essayist of burning curiosity, expansive lyricism, odd humor, and radical intelligence, equaled, perhaps, only by Virginia Woolf. Here Geoff Dyer, one of the finest essayists of our day, draws on the whole range of Lawrence's published essays to reintroduce him to a new generation of readers for whom the essay has become an important genre.

The Anatomy of the Holocaust: Selected Works from a Life of Scholarship (Vermont Studies on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust)

The Anatomy of the Holocaust: Selected Works from a Life of Scholarship (Vermont Studies on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust) by Raul Hilberg†, Walter H. Pehle, René Schlott
English | November 1st, 2019 | ISBN: 1789203554, 1789204895 | 257 pages | EPUB | 1.37 MB

Though best known as the author of the landmark 1961 work The Destruction of the European Jews, the historian Raul Hilberg produced a variety of archival research, personal essays, and other works over a career that spanned half a century. The Anatomy of the Holocaust collects some of Hilberg's most essential and groundbreaking writings—many of them published in obscure journals or otherwise inaccessible to nonspecialists—in a single volume. Supplemented with commentary and notes from Hilberg's longtime German editor and his biographer, it not only offers a multifaceted look at the man and the scholar, but also traces the evolution of Holocaust research from a marginal subdiscipline into a diverse and vital intellectual project.
