Описание: "Mountain," Baldwin said, "is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else." Go Tell It On The Mountain, first published in 1953, is Baldwin's first major work, a novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves.

Описание: Tudor England abounded with traitors, whose self-defeating antics guaranteed their failure. By looking at the behaviour of Robert Devereux as a case study in political hysteria, this book examines the ways in which insecurity in the midst of political and religious revolution produced a state of hysteria that was unique to the sixteenth century.

Описание:
"The Cross of Redemption" is a revelation by an American literary master: a gathering of essays, articles, polemics, reviews, and interviews that have never before appeared in book form.
James Baldwin was one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the past century, renowned for his fierce engagement with issues haunting our common history. In "The Cross of Redemption" we have Baldwin discoursing on, among other subjects, the possibility of an African-American president and what it might mean; the hypocrisy of American religious fundamentalism; the black church in America; the trials and tribulations of black nationalism; anti-Semitism; the blues and boxing; Russian literary masters; and the role of the writer in our society.
Prophetic and bracing, "The Cross of Redemption" is a welcome and important addition to the works of a cosmopolitan and canonical American writer who still has much to teach us about race, democracy, and personal and national identity. As Michael Ondaatje has remarked, “If van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, Baldwin was] our twentieth-century one.”

Описание: The story of the Princes in the Tower is one of history`s most enduring, poignant and romanticised tales. Dead princes were a potential embarrassment, but a living prince would have been a real danger and a closely guarded secret, not only in Richard`s reign but in the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII.
Описание: As the Confederacy felt itself slipping beneath the Union juggernaut in late 1864, the South launched a desperate counteroffensive to shatter the U.S. economy and force a standoff. Its secret weapon? A state-of-the-art raiding ship whose mission was to prowl the world s oceans and sink the U.S. merchant fleet. The raider s name was Shenandoah, and her executive officer was Conway Whittle, a twenty-four-year-old warrior who might have stepped from the pages of Arthurian legend. Whittle would share command with a dark and brooding veteran of the seas, Capt. James Waddell, and together with a crew of strays, misfits, and strangers, they would spend nearly a year sailing two-thirds of the way around the globe, destroying dozens of Union ships and taking more than a thousand prisoners, all while continually dodging the enemy.Then, in August of 1865, a British ship revealed the shocking truth to the men of Shenandoah: The war had been over for months, and they were now being hunted as pirates. What ensued was an incredible 15,000-mile journey to the one place the crew hoped to find sanctuary, only to discover that their fate would depend on how they answered a single question. Wondrously evocative and filled with drama and poignancy, "Last Flag Down" is a riveting story of courage, nobility, and rare comradeship forged in the quest to achieve the impossible."

Описание: Playing a bit off The Usual Suspects," the most successful of his more than 60 movies, Stephen reveals his unbelievable change from a hardcore party boy to
a hardcore follower of Jesus Christ. Of all the people who have expressed disbelief about his conversion, Stephen says he remains the most surprised. He describes "hardcore faith" as
the willingness to put your life and future completely in the hands of the invisible God, obeying His direction to the death.
His life has been completely transformed - and we get
the behind-the-scenes look at how that transformation has impacted his life inside and out. Stephen brazenly relays his observations about the culture at large and the work of the
Church in it. He believes that the exposure of the Gospel must be ramped up and the way it is expressed must be changed as the culture changes.
He is just as emphatic,
however, that as ministry flexes with the times, it must remain true to the power and transcendent truth of the Gospel. The core of his message: "You must be willing to try faith God's
way, not yours, and when you do you will find a life beyond anything you could have dreamed."
