🕍The Jews in the Renaissance by Cecil Roth

My price: $12 DM / $14 App
DM or follow link in bio to purchase!

In this book Roth has placed every scholar interested in the Renaissance in general, or Jewish history in particular, in his debt. The case with which this book is written only serves to illustrate the vast store of knowledge which its author possesses, and from which he has given us some of the wine of historical research in excellent prose.

The Eagle's Gift by Carlos Castaneda

My price: $10 DM / $11 App

Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery, challenging both imagination & reason, shaking the foundations of our belief in what is "natural" & "logical."
His landscape is full of terrors & mysterious forces, as sharply etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts & mountains where don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer’s knowledge—the knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us a spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our lives & which the sorcerer, through his discipline, fights to retain. Castaneda describes how don Juan & his party left this world, & how he, himself, upon witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.

Printed by Simon & Schuster, 1981.

Good condition. A few small tears to jacket. General wear to cover. No markings dog-earing warping creasing etc.

The Jews: Story of a People by Howard Fast

My price: $30 DM / $35 App
DM or follow link in bio to purchase!

Encompassing 4,000 years, the history of the Jews is a vast epic of such magnificent complexity that perhaps only a master storyteller can render it in all its color & grandeur. Fast has woven for us not only the history of this people, but the history of a monotheistic concept & a nonviolent ethic.
Written with a power & passion that does full justice to its subject & handsomely illustrated, this book is an exciting & illuminating reading experience for young & old.

Printed by The Dial Press, 1969.

Root of Bitterness: Documents of the Social History of American Women by Nancy F. Cott

Our price: $10 / $15
DM or follow link in bio to purchase!

No book has taken as its province the full social history of American women from Colonial times to the turn of the century. By examining journals, autobiographies, fictions, manifestos, & narratives of the makers of American women's history, Cott offers the primary sources of consciousness & experience of a nation. The lively & varied documents in this book are not only history, but also helps our present understanding: the root of bitterness exposed in these pages is also the root of liberation.

The Healing Imagination: The Meeting of Psyche and Soul by Ann & Barry Ulanov

Our price: $25 / $29

The authors describe the imagination as a bridge between the psyche & spirit. Using imagery drawn from literature, film, & their experience as therapists, they unlock the healing power of our imagination. They write, "Imagination heals by building a bridge to link us up to the river of being already present in us & the currents flowing through us in our unconscious life." The book shows how it is vital in the spiritual life, preaching, prayer, teaching, counseling, & politics.

Printed by Daimon Verlag, 1999.

Excellent condition. Extremely light wear to cover. No markings dog-earing warping creasing etc.
