Libro: Frederick Douglass: Speeches Writings (Loa #358) (978-1-59853-722-2) de Douglass, Frederick (LIBRARY OF AMERICA ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Library of America presents the biggest, most comprehensive trade edition of Frederick Douglass's writings ever published Edited by Pulitzer Prizewinning biographer David W. Blight, this Library of America edition is the largest single-volume selection of Frederick Douglasss writings ever published, presenting the full texts of thirty-four speeches and sixty-seven pieces of journalism. (A companion Library of America volume, Frederick Douglass: Autobiographies , gathers his three memoirs.) With startling immediacy, these writings chart the evolution of Douglasss thinking about slavery and the U.S. Constitution; his eventual break with William Lloyd Garrison and many other abolitionists on the crucial issue of disunion; the course of his complicated relationship with Abraham Lincoln; and his deep engagement with the cause of womens suffrage. Here are such powerful works as What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?, Douglasss incandescent jeremiad skewering the hypocrisy of the slaveholding republic; The Claims of the Negro Ethnologically Considered, a full-throated refutation of nineteenthcentury racial pseudoscience; Is it Right and Wise to Kill a Kidnapper?, an urgent call for forceful opposition to the Fugitive Slave Act; How to End the War, in which Douglass advocates, just days after the fall of Fort Sumter, for the raising of Black troops and the military destruction of slavery; There Was a Right Side in the Late War, Douglasss no-holds-barred attack on the Lost Cause mythology of the Confederacy; and Lessons of the Hour, an impassioned denunciation of lynching and disenfranchisement in the emerging Jim Crow South. As a special feature the volume also presents Douglasss only foray into fiction, the 1853 novella The Heroic Slave, about Madison Washington, leader of the real-life insurrection on board the domestic slave-trading ship Creole in 1841 that resulted in the liberation of more than a hundred enslaved people. Editorial features include detailed notes identifying Douglasss many scriptural and cultural references, a newly revised chronology of his life and career, and an index. 0

Libro: Leaves of Grass: The Complete 1855 and 1891-92 Editions (978-1-59853-097-1) de Whitman, Walt (LIBRARY OF AMERICA ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. In 1855, a small volume appeared, self-published by a failed Brooklyn journalist and carpenter: twelve untitled poems and a preface announcing the author's aims. A commercial failure, this book was the first stage of a massive, lifelong enterprise. Six editions and thirty-seven years later, Leaves of Grass had been recognized as one of the central masterworks of world poetry. This Library of America Paperback Classic includes two complete texts: the 1855 first edition and the magnificent culminating edition of 1891-1892. For almost thirty years, The Library of America has presented America's best and most significant writing in acclaimed hardcover editions. Now, a new series, Library of America Paperback Classics, offers attractive and affordable books that bring The Library of America's authoritative texts within easy reach of every reader. Each book features an introductory essay by one of a leading writer, as well as a detailed chronology of the author's life and career, an essay on the choice and history of the text, and notes. The contents of this Paperback Classic are drawn from Walt Whitman: Poetry and Prose , edited by Justin Kaplan, volume #3 in the Library of America series. 0

Libro: Ray Bradbury: Novels Story Cycles (Loa #347): The Martian Chronicles / Fahrenheit 451 / Dandelion Wine / Something Wicked This Way Comes (978-1-59853-700-0) de Bradbury, Ray (LIBRARY OF AMERICA ) Comprar Libros de Literatura .Literatura en Inglés .. Four classics of the imagination from one of America's most beloved authors--including the complete Martian Chronicles . A master storyteller and visionary champion of creative freedom, Ray Bradbury is one of the most beloved and influential writers of our time. To explore the worlds of his books, his astonishing futures and haunting pasts, is to rediscover the wondrous possibilities of life. This Library of America edition gathers four of his greatest works in a single volume. Here is The Martian Chronicles in the complete form Bradbury came to prefer, its twenty-eight linked story-chapters offering visionary glimpses of our spacefaring future. In the dystopian thriller Fahrenheit 451 , books and all they contain are forbidden. Dandelion Wine distills the enchanting essences of a childhood summer, while Something Wicked This Way Comes conjures the wild, centrifugal imaginings of youthful terror, in a fight to the death against supernatural foes. Biographer Jonathan R. Eller offers a newly researched chronology of Bradburys life and career and detailed textual and explanatory notes. 0
