Includes Author Dedication; Family Tree; Introduction: On Telling the Life Story of a Storyteller; Preliminary Page Quotes by Walt Whitman, L. Frank Baum and Black Elk; Acknowledgments; Notes on Sources; A Selected Bibliography of Works by L. Frank Baum; Selected Bibliography; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. "In the first major literary biography of L. Frank Baum, Rebecca Loncraine tells the story of Oz as you've never heard it, with a look behind the curtain at the vivid life and eccentric imagination of its creator. L. Frank Baum wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1899 and it was first published in 1900. A runaway hit, it was soon recognized as America's first modern fairy tale. Buam's life story, like the fictional world he created, is uniquely American, rooted in the transforming historical changes of his times. Baum was a complex and eccentric man who could never stay put for long; his restless creative spirit and voracious appetite for new projects led him across the United States during his lifetime, and he drew energy and inspiration from each new dramatic landscape he encountered. Born in 1856, Baum spent his youth in the Finger Lakes region of New York as amputee soldiers returned from the Civil War; childhood mortality was also commonplace, blurring the lines between the living and the dead, and making room in Baum's young imagination for vividly real ghosts. When Baum was growing up, P.T. Barnum ruled the minds of samll towns and his traveling circus was the most famous act around. Baum married a headstrong young woman named Maud Gage and they ventured out west to Dakota Territory, where they faced violent tornadoes, Ghost Dancing tribes, and desperate droughts, before trading the hardships on the Great Plains for the excitement of Chicago and the fantastical White City of the World's Fair. Baum's writing tapped into an inner world that blurred his own sense of reality and fantasy. The Land of Oz, which Baum believed he had "discovered" rather than invented, grew into something far bigger and more popular than he'd ever imagined. After the roaring success of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900, he became a kind of slave to his creation, trapped inside Oz as his army of demanding child fans kept sending him back there to create new adventures for Dorothy, Toto, and the humbug wizard. He went on to write thirteen sequels to his first Oz book. He also wrote the first Broadway adaptations of his Oz tales and turned his Oz books into some of the first motion pictures in a small and undiscovered rural settlement called "Hollywood." Baum cofounded the Oz Flim Manufacturing Company, even as critics warned that no one would pay to see a children's story. And they were right - his early ventures were box office flops and the world...

"Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton (October 30, 1857 June 14, 1948) was a prominent and prolific American author. Many of her novels are set in her home state of California. Her bestseller Black Oxen (1923) was made into a silent movie of the same name. In addition to novels, she wrote short stories, essays, and articles for magazines and newspapers on such issues as feminism, politics, and war. She was strong-willed, independent-minded, and sometimes controversial.In London, she had the opportunity through Jane Wilde to meet Oscar Wilde, her son. She recalled in her memoir Adventures of a Novelist (1932) that she made an excuse to avoid the meeting because she thought he was physically repulsive. In an 1899 article for London's Bookman, Atherton wrote of Wilde's style and associated it with "the decadence, the loss of virility that must follow over-civilization." She returned to California in 1890 at the death of her grandfather Franklin and her mother-in-law Dominga Atherton, and she resumed taking care of Muriel. In 1891, she wrote for The San Francisco Examiner where she met Ambrose Bierce, with whom she carried on a taunting, almost love-hate friendship. When Kate Field remarked on California writers' neglect of the picturesque and romantic old Spanish life of the state, Atherton explored the history and culture of Spanish California in Monterey, San Juan Bautista, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara.

[Signed] [First Edition] The Romantic Manifesto: A philosophy of Literature RAND, Ayn [Used - As new] [Hardcover] [Signed] [First Edition] The Romantic Manifesto: A philosophy of Literature RAND, Ayn [Used - As new] [Hardcover] 4835.18 CAD SIGNED First Edition, First Printing of Ayn Rand's The Romantic Manifesto: A Philosophy of Literature (New York: The World Publishing Company, 1969). A spectacular example of the book and jacket, the finest we've ever seen, signed, inscribed and dated by Rand in the month of publication. Housed in a custom leatherette-linen clamshell box. Rare signed and inscribed, especially so in Very Fine condition. No less radical than her advocacy of the virtue of selfishness is Ayn Rand's theory of art, which pierces the mysticism and sentimentality that have engulfed esthetic theory to explain why, since time immemorial, human beings have created and consumed works of art. "An artist reveals his naked soul in his work -- and so, gentle reader, do you when you respond to it" (55). In this series of ground-breaking essays, Rand defines the nature and source of art, demonstrates the soul-sustaining value art has for human survival, and lays the foundation of a rational esthetics. With essays on the esthetics of literature and the other arts, The Romantic Manifesto demonstrates the incomparable value of Romanticism, to which she gives her own incomparable definition. "Romanticism is the category of art based on the recognition that man possesses the faculty of volition" (81). Unique within the Rand corpus, The Romantic Manifesto unites both Ayn Rand the artist and Ayn Rand the philosopher with Ayn Rand the creator of art and Ayn Rand the consumer of art. Step-by-step, she leads us to her ruthlessly logical definition of art as "a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value judgments" (22). To demonstrate "metaphysical value-judgments," she uses examples drawn from art history, as well as her own inexhaustible imagination as an artist and consumer of art. "If one saw, in real life, a beautiful woman wearing an exquisite evening gown, with a cold sore on her lips, the blemish would mean nothing but a minor affliction, and one would ignore it. But a painting of such a woman would be a corrupt, obscenely vicious attack on man, on beauty, on all values" (43). While Rand shows us the psychological mechanisms at work in artistic creation and response, that art teaches us how to use our consciousness by showing us what is important, she rejects the notion that the primary purpose of art is didactic. The primary purpose of art, she holds, is not to teach, but to show. The pleasure of contemplating art, she observes, is an end in itself, "a pleasure so intense, so deeply personal that a man experiences it as self sufficient" (19). That contemplation, with the pleasure that attends it, serves a demonstrable need of the human consciousness. "Art is inextricably tied to man's survival" (19). Finally, in The Romantic Manifesto, Ayn Rand, the discouraged but ever-determined consumer of art, raises a clarion call for a Renaissance of the ideals that informed the Romantic movements of the nineteenth century. "Will we see an esthetic Renaissance...

"Todd combines his signature humor and award-winning journalism skills to expose the Left's war on religious liberty." - Sean Hannity "Todd Starnes combines Southern storytelling with investigative journalism to craft a book that will not only entertain but also inform the nation about the extent of the culture's decay. I read Todd's books, and you should too!" - Mike Huckabee, former governor of Arkansas "Todd Starnes has sounded an alarm that every American should listen to. His unique insights, seasoned with his trademark wit, makes God Less America a must-read for every American who cherishes his freedom to worship God." - Dr. Robert Jeffress, Pastor, First Baptist Church, Dallas "Pay attention, people of faith. Dark clouds are gathering. The winds of intolerance are blowing. There's a great storm approaching. We are facing uncertain times. America's values are under assault. Religious liberty has been undermined. We live in a day when right is now wrong and wrong is now right. The vicious left-wing attacks against the recent traditional marriage stance of Chick-fil-A and Duck Dynasty should serve as a wake-up call to people of faith. It's not about ducks or chicken sandwiches. It's about religious liberty. It's about free speech. It's about the future of our nation. As a national reporter covering the culture war, Todd Starnes is on the front lines of these attacks against traditional values. In God Less America he uses both recent news stories and compelling interviews with today's top conservative leaders to bring to light what is happening across our country. In his award-winning, satire-meets-serious writing style he strikes an important blow in today's culture wars." - from the rear outer jacket "In these pages you will read stories of modern-day persecution. You will be introduced to Christians who have taken a stand for their faith and paid a price. They are the stories of our fellow countrymen - men and women, boys and girls, teachers, bakers, and soldiers. They are the stories the mainstream media doesn't want you to read." - excerpt from the inner front jacket flap ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Todd Starnes is the host of FOX News & Commentary - heard daily on the FOX News Radio network. Throughout his journalism career Todd has covered a number of high-profile stories - taking him from Wall Street to the White House.

"Sometimes the facts are even more extraordinary than the fiction.This book tells the story of Lady Catherine, a beautiful American girl who became the chatelaine of Highclere Castle, the setting for Julian Fellowes' award-winning drama Downton Abbey. Charming and charismatic, Catherine caught the eye of Lord Portchester (or 'Porchey', as he was known) when she was just 20 years old, and wearing a pale yellow dress at a ball. She had already turned down fourteen proposals before she eventually married Porchey in 1922. Less than a year later Porchey's father died suddenly, and he became the 6th Earl of Carnarvon, inheriting a title and a Castle that changed both their lives forever. Catherine found herself suddenly in charge of a small army of household staff, and hosting lavish banquets and weekend house parties. Although the couple were very much in love, considerable challenges lay ahead for Catherine. They were immediately faced with the task of saving Highclere when debts threatened to destroy the estate. As the 1920s moved to a close, Catherine's adored brother died and she began to lose her husband to the distractions London had to offer. When the Second World War broke out, life at the Castle would never be the same again. Drawing on rich material from the private archives at Highclere, including beautiful period photographs, the current Countess of Carnarvon transports us back to the thrilling and alluring world of the real Downton Abbey and its inhabitants." - from the inner front jacket flap.
