Speak Out! Speeches Open Letters Commentaries

Gunter Grass extends his political commitment beyond his literary work. Using his fame in what he considers the best interests of his nation, he speaks out on all current issues, and fights, in a country without deeply rooted democratic traditions, for the processes of parliamentary democracy. He sees German democracy threatened by postwar developments in a divided Germany and by the rise of extremists on the right and the left. Grass entered the political arena in 1965, when he delivered fifty-two election speeches throughout Germany in praise of democracy, the Social Democratic Party, and Willy Brandt. In this stirring collection, which includes two election speeches, speeches on student violence and on the Czechoslovakian crisis, open letters to political figures, and political commentaries, Grass the writer appears as Grass the citizen, motivated both by deep concern and by outrage. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 460441084 - Speak Out!

She Loves Me ... She Loves Me Not

Continuing a two-year program to bring back twenty-two Maurice Sendak treasures long out of print, our third season celebrates the collaborations between Maurice Sendak and both his father, Philip, and his brother, Jack. Storytelling and book-making began in the Sendak family with Philip telling his children wonderful stories about his own boyhood in Europe. Soon Jack was making up his own stories and Maurice would illustrate them on cardboard. They carefully bound the stories and art into books and thus began one of the most illustrious careers in American art. Maurice Sendak credits both his father and his brother for his love of books, and so HarperCollins is delighted to reintroduce the three books described on this page -- together with two classics Maurice wrote and illustrated early in his career. - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 458512247 - She Loves Me ...
