About This Item
London: Faber & Faber, 1950. 1st. h/b. Near fine, 1st edition, clipped d/j (good, small chips and stains, in protective sleeve), blue clothbound boards (slight bumping on corners), gilt spine titling bright; text block firm, pages crisp and unmarked; some sunning on endpapers.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Charles Williams was one of the finest--not to mention one of the most unusual--theologians of the twentieth century. These two long essays make up, with The Descent of the Dove, Charles Williams' principal theological writing. With these books and with The Figure of Beatrice the reader is as fully equipped as possible for studying the religious thought of this brilliant poet, novelist, essayist and historian. His mysticism is palpable-the unseen world interpenetrates ours at every point, and spiritual exchange occurs all the time, unseen and largely unlooked for. His novels are legend, and as a member of the Inklings, he contributed to the mythopoetic revival in contemporary culture.
Synopsis
Microserfs, published by HarperCollins in 1995, is an epistolary novel by Douglas Coupland. It first appeared in short story form as the cover article for the January 1994 issue of Wired magazine and was subsequently expanded to full novel length. Set in the early 1990s, it captures the state of the technology industry before Windows 95, and predicts the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s. The novel is presented in the form of diary entries maintained on a PowerBook by the narrator, Daniel.
