Genius Baby: Richard grows up fast and helps Save the World's Economy
ISBN: 9781482006063 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Genius Baby may be the first serious contender for "The Great American Novel" since the 1920's. Genius Baby does for a model American character what the stories of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy did for the archetypal Russian characters or what Cervantes' Don Quixote did for the confused middle class Spanish seeker looking for a just social order. Genius Baby is a work of fiction deeply rooted in the reality of scientific research on human development, with especial attention to the beauty and flaws of representative samples of the American dream. We first meet the primary hero of the story, Richard...

New Negro, Old Left: African-American Writing and Communism Between the Wars

Howard "Stretch" Johnson, a charismatic Harlemite who graduated from Cotton Club dancer to Communist Party youth leader, once claimed that in late 1930s New York "75% of black cultural figures had Party membership or maintained regular meaningful contact with the Party." He stretched the truth, but barely. In a broad-ranging, revisionary account of the extensive relationship between African-American literary culture and Communism in the 1920s and 1930s, William J. Maxwell uncovers both black literature's debt to Communism and Communism's debt to black literature--reciprocal obligations first...

Public companies acquire most of their outside capital from debt fi nancing and, more specifi cally, leveraged finance--an asset class that falls somewhere between traditional fixed income and stocks. While this type of debt fi nancing carries significant risk to both investors and companies, the potential returns make leveraged finance a cornerstone of the modern financial markets.
Leveraged Financial Markets is a gathering of the most astute and informed minds in the business. The powerhouse editorial team of William F. Maxwell and Mark R. Shenkman have handselected contributions... Public companies acquire most of their outside capital from debt fi nancing and, more specifi cally, leveraged finance--an asset class that falls some...

The Old Man at the Railroad Crossing and Other Tales: Selected and Introduced by Aimee Bender
ISBN: 9781940436326 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In these tales, with one foot firmly planted in the present, Maxwell brings a certain sophisticated urbanity to the oral traditions of the fable and fairy tale. The total effect is of something midway between the Brothers Grimm and Kafka, with perhaps a touch of Zen. (NYRB April 1966) While modern enough in locale and context, they are as old as humanity itself in what concerns them. And always that voice, the age old voice of the storyteller, the eternal magic of the speaking human voice. Such simplicity takes true artistry and Maxwell has that in spades."
