Jukia Kristeva

Proust and the Sense of Time

Faber & Faber , 1993. First Edition, Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Fine. 9780571168804 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages which are lightly age toned; clean bright jacket. A well kept copy. Julia Kristeva's Eliot Lectures on Proust mark an important stage in her career, as a critic, writer and theoretician. Proust has been one of her major interests, as a teacher, over the past few years. This book shows beyond doubt that she regards him as the major French writer of the present century. Indeed, Proust is shown to anticipate to a remarkable degree the preoccupations of a contemporary audience. He opens up a dimension of "embodied" time which sustains and nourishes the human psyche in its present predicament. Kristeva does not reject Previous Proust criticism. On the contrary, she Builds on much of the best that has been written in recent year's, notably the work of Gerard Genette, Gilles Deleuze and Rene Girard. She also uses material from the archival study of Proust's manuscripts, and historical accounts of his own philosophical sources. 107 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

John Laband

The Assassination of King Shaka

Jonathan Ball Publishing, 2017. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. 9781868428076 Firmly bound, unmarked pages, age toned, slight edgewear to covers. In this riveting new book, John Laband, pre-eminent historian of the Zulu Kingdom, tackles some of the questions that swirl around the assassination in 1828 of King Shaka, the celebrated founder of the Zulu Kingdom and war leader of legendary brilliance: Why did prominent members of the royal house conspire to kill him? Just how significant a part did the white hunter-traders settled at Port Natal play in their royal patron’s downfall? Why were Shaka’s relations with the British Cape Colony key to his survival? And why did the powerful army he had created acquiesce so tamely in the usurpation of the throne by Dingane, his half-brother and assassin? 226 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Ireland's Round Towers - Origins and Architecture Explored

The Collins Press , 2016. Softcover. Near Fine Condition. 9781848892644 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, small nick to edge of p.245 slight wear to cover edges. The remains of over 70 Round Towers survive in Ireland, widely distributed throughout the island. They represent the only form of architecture which is unique to Ireland. Many of those that remain are in association with surviving monastic settlements and are sited in some of the most beautiful and historic areas of the country. Little work has been published on the subject before now. This fully-illustrated study views them as an integral unit of an often now-vanished ecclesiastical complex, outlining their architectural design and construction, their function, their landscape setting and the uniqueness of each round tower site. For over two hundred years there has been debate as to the origin of the Round Tower.  248 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Architecture; ISBN/EAN: 9781848892644. Inventory No: dscf11852.

Leo Villa's Bluebird Album

Transport Bookman Publications, 2007. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780851840710 Clean unmarked pages, firm binding; slight shelfwear to jacket edges. Complete with 3-D glasses. I cannot rate this book highly enough. It is wonderful. I thought that the first time I saw it in March 2007, and I still think that. The finest collection of wonderful colour photographs charting the historic record breaking exploits of Donald Campbell and his Bluebird team. This is a very important book, for without it, the record of Campbell's exploits in colour, would never have been able to be told. A must have for anyone with even a passing interest in this subject. The photographs, both black and white and colour, with many taken by Leo Villa - Campbell's chief engineer, are historical gems. (Reader review) 256 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

When Death Enters the Therapeutic Space: Existential Perspectives in Psychotherapy and Counselling

Routledge, 2008. Softcover. Very Good Condition. 9780415416559 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, some light corner creasing and wear to pages and covers. "Though mourning and intimations of mortality often enter the therapeutic space, few psychotherapy books focus on this. At the same time, the therapeutic input into UK palliative services is often not strategically thought through, not the least because of voluntary sector involvement with NHS services. This book is therefore a welcome exploration of therapeutic practice when dealing with death... As a consultant practitioner in the field, I can see myself using this book as part of an educational programme. It is a valuable contribution to the ongoing development of this specialism within the therapeutic field." - Ana Draper, Mortality, Vol. 14, No. 4, November 2009 254 pages. Quantity Available: 1.
