The Message to the Planet / Murdoch, Iris ; Phillips T., 1989

 Item
Identifier: CC-05752-5860
Scope and Contents The jacket illustration is by Tom Phillips who has painted the portrait of Iris Murdoch.New York Times Book review of 'Living on Paper: Letters From Iris Murdoch, 1934-1995': At 17, Iris Murdoch was asked what she intended to do with her life. She gave a one-word answer: "Write." Sixty years on, what may have been Dame Iris Murdoch's last coherent words as she was sucked into the darkness of Alzheimer's disease were: "I wrote."She usually did it the hard way: longhand, preferably with a Montblanc fountain pen. Her writing encompassed 26 published novels as well as ­philosophical treatises, essays and, most time-consumingly, an ocean of letters. She ­dutifully replied to every one she received, unless they were "mad or spiteful." Writing letters, Avril Horner and Anne Rowe note in their introduction to "Living on Paper," their selection of Murdoch's correspondence, routinely took up four hours of her afternoon.They were not drudging hours. For Murdoch, there was a sheer...

The Museum at Purgatory / Bantock, Nick., 1999

 Item
Identifier: CC-33636-35294
Scope and Contents Donna Seaman in Booklist, November 1, 1999 captures the essence of this book."This is the slightest of Bantock's clever, illustrated novels. The author of the Griffin and Sabine trilogy and The Forgetting Room (1997), Bantock combines inventive collages with lightweight if witty and sweet metaphysical fables. This tale is told by Non, the curator of the museum in Purgatory. Purgatory is a city, Non explains, a city that is in constant flux, forever changing its shape, its buildings, its trees, and its light and colors. A place of ambiguity, it is where souls come to re-evaluate their lives. It seems that we are essentially conduits for information, which we "deposit" into the collective consciousness via our dreams. Therefore, the question each soul must answer before they leave is whether he or she has "contributed enough to the greater consciousness" to go to a Utopian State, or, failing that, to a Dystopia. Non's job is to watch over the souls of collectors and to house their...

 Item
Identifier: CC-55664-9999267
Scope and Contents Internet Peter Baker's translation of introduction: During the last week of August 1939, while rumors of war invaded Paris, a young literature professor, Vincent Degrael, was invited to spend several days at a property in the neighborhood of le Havre that belonged to the parents of one of his colleagues, Denis Borrade. The eve of his departure, while he was exploring the library of his hosts searching for one of the books that one has always promised oneself to read, but which one generally only has time to flip through the pages negligently next to the fire before going to make up the fourth at bridge, Degrael fell upon a slim volume entitled The Winter Voyage, whose author, Hugo Vernier, was absolutely unknown to him, but the first pages of which made such a strong impression on him that he barely took the time to excuse himself from his friend and his hosts before going to read it in his room. The Winter Voyage was a sort of first-person narrative, situated in a...
