HOW MUCH DO WE REALLY KNOW?
Where was Camelot? What are the gigantic mathematical lines spotted from the air on the Nazca Desert in Peru? Has fabled Atlantis finally been located? Were the Egyptian pyramids really ancient astronomical observatories? Was the dividing of the Sea of Passage part of a cosmic catastrophe which struck the whole earth?

Shrouded in mystery and obscured by legend, man's prehistory is still largely an enigma. Each year new archaeological and scientific discoveries change our view of the past. Rupert Furneaux's ANCIENT… Read More

Description:
Presumably first edition. 119 p.; ill. Small 1 cm tear and sticker residue to dust jacket with minor edgewear. Pastedowns have manufacturing flaw (slightly wrinkled) but book is otherwise in Fine condition. Edited by Barbara Kaufman and Michal Schonberg. Illustrated by Paul S. Weldon. From the dust jacket: The Dybbuk is the classic drama of the Yiddish theatre. Written in the early twentieth century by S. Ansky, the play is set in an isolated Polish community of Hassidic Jews, and tells the story of Leah, a young Jewish maiden who becomes possessed by the tortured soul, the dybbuk, of her beloved. The Dybbuk is a haunting love story, steeped in Jewish folklore, mysticism and Old Testament morality. John Hirsch has translated and adapted The Dybbuk for the modern stage and the modern audience. "I tried to uncover its values, expand and reshape them through a modern sensibility that would make them as accessible to a non-Jewish as a Jewish audience," says Hirsch. The result is a strong and moving… Read More

The Centennial Travel Series

In the pages of this lavishly illustrated travelogue, the reader will discover for him-self the pleasures of journeys made in the 1880s 'north of the Border'. The author, the Rev. Samuel Green, made many visits to Scotland, and in this volume set down descriptions and opinions of what he saw and enjoyed, providing the Victorian tourist with a perceptive guide to the country — and not neglecting to offer sound advice to the intending sightseer.

550 p. Book is worn on the outside with some superficial tears/nicks, and a few dog-ears, but the text block from the title page to the end of the book is in great condition, clean and bright. Sequel to Interview with the Vampire. As with the first book in the series, the novel begins with a frame narrative. After over a half century underground, Lestat awakens in the 1980s to the cacophony of electronic sounds and images that characterizes the MTV generation. Particularly, he is captivated by a fledgling rock band named Satan's Night Out. Determined both to achieve international fame and end the centuries of self-imposed vampire silence, Lestat takes command of the band (now renamed "The Vampire Lestat") and pens his own autobiography. The remainder of the novel purports to be that autobiography: the vampire traces his mortal youth as the son of a marquis in pre-Revolutionary France, his initiation into vampirism at the hands of Magnus, and his quest for the ultimate origins of his undead species.… Read More
