Rubáiyát of Omar KhayyáM - Facsimile Edition

London, The Folio Society. 2018, Illustrated Edition. Hardcover. Ill.: William Morris. Book, Very Good Condition, Hardcover in Slipcase, 32pp, Format: 17 x 12cm. This delightful little book is a mere 17.2 x 12.1cm in its maroon gilt titled cloth slipcase. It is a facsimile of the edition held in the British library (MS37832) that was exquisitely illustrated and transcribed by William Morris in 1872. It is only 32 pages long and printed in colour and gold ink throughout. The binding is maroon cloth gilt blocked on covers with an intricate design. Despite its size, it contains all 75 suras William Morris created four versions of the Rubáiyát and this Folio Society edition is based on the 1872 held by the British Library (Add MS 37832). The intricacy of the design on each calligraphed page is stunning, with recurrent patterns of delicate, nature-inspired motifs and exquisite classical and religious figures. Morris designed the borders and ornamental additions, sharing the work of the illustrations with fellow artist and designer Edward Burne-Jones - The figures were then painted in by Charles Fairfax Murray. This edition of one of William Morris's finest and most elaborate works is a complete facsimile of the manuscript, and includes a personal note by Morris at the end. Fine.

RUTHELLEN JOSSELSON

Playing Pygmalion : How People Create One Another

Jason Aronson Inc. Publishers. 2007. Hardcover. Book, 2007, Good Condition, Hardcover, 151pp Like Pygmalion with his Galatea, we create the characters of people in our lives. Although others appear to us to be who they just "are", there are complicated psychological processes, outside of our awareness, that lead us to experience people in ways that we ourselves construct. Psychoanalytic theory offers a wealth of understanding of how people unconsciously create what they both need and dread. But these processes are not well understood by most therapists. Too often, therapists join their patients in overlooking their own role in creating the relationships in their lives, such that it seems that patients were simply unfortunate to "have" an un-giving mother or to "find" an unloving spouse. Because processes of creation in relationship are largely unconscious, they are much harder to see. As a result, most theorists of relationships acknowledge that they exist, but offer little language or explication for how they unfold or manifest themselves. Playing Pygmalion is an effort to trace in psychological terms the subtle interplay by which people create the other. This book adapts the psychoanalytic concepts of transitional object usage and projective identification to show their importance and applicability beyond the therapeutic situation to the understanding of people's relational lives. Using examples from literature, film and clinical work to illustrate the theory, the book goes on to consider in depth the relationship narratives of four pairs of ordinary people to demonstrate how people unconsciously "create" one another. The stories demonstrate that the "other" is always more than one conceives him or her to be. Readers inevitably rethink some of their important relationships in terms of how they are creating people or being created by them. This may lead them to take in other aspects of the person, to see how they are looking very selectively at a human being who exists beyond their relationship. Fine.

RAWA, JULIA

The Imperial Quest and Modern Memory from Conrad to Greene

New York, Routledge. 2005. Hardcover. Book, 2005, Very Good Condition, Hardcover, 156pp The Imperial Quest and Modern Memory explores relationships between narrative and imperium in the context of Western Modernism by examining the Quest as a vexed trope in Heart of Darkness, Passage to India, TheSheltering Sky, and The Quiet American. The book takes stock of twentieth century theory regarding the Quest--as archetype, trope, and construct, considers the dominant expression and the imperial organization of this trope in Western culture and iconography from the Dark Ages to the Age of Empire, explores the ways in which this trope both lingers and changes in the context of Western Modernism, and finally gauges its permutations in Modern discourse. The Imperial Quest and Modern Memory's central claim is that the Modern novel simultaneously reinscribes and subverts Western and imperial manifestations of the Quest. Heart of Darkness, Passage to India, TheSheltering Sky, and The Quiet American are remarkably Modern and subversive narratives. They participate in the revolutionary projects of early and high Modernism and are often in marked opposition to imperial praxis. Yet they are also profoundly influenced by the deep ideological and metaphoric structures of Western culture. Thus, the Quest trope--specifically in its Western and imperial manifestations--lingers in Modern Memory and certainly in the Modern novel. This expansive study emphasizes intriguing intersections between past and present, culture and archetype, norm and narrative, memory and contemporaneity. Very Good.
