Description : A man trapped in a millionare's deadly game of political and sexual betrayal.
Filled with shocks and chilling surprises, The Magus is a masterwork of contemporary literature. In it, a young Englishman, Nicholas Urfe, accepts a teaching position on a Greek island where his friendship with the owner of the islands most magnificent estate leads him into a nightmare. As reality and fantasy are deliberately confused by staged deaths, erotic encounters, and terrifying violence, Urfe becomes a desperate man fighting for his sanity and his life. A work rich with symbols, conundrums and labrinthine twists of event, The Magus is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining, a work that ranks with the best novels of modern times.

The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory
Category : Other Stuff
Author : Carol J. Adams
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0826405134
|
|
Description : Basically the title says it all. The book discusses the sexual politics of meat, the rape of animals and the butchering of women, the masked violence and the vegeterian's muted voices, dismembered texts and dismembered animals, feminism the great war, and modern vegeterianism. It also discusses the distortion of the vegeterian body. I do say that it is a slow start, but once you get into the book it is very very good.

Gardner's Art Through the Ages
Category : Other Stuff
Author : Richard Tansev, Fred S. Kleiner, Horst De LA Croix, Richard G. Tansey, Helen Gardner
ISBN (No Dashes) : 0155011413
|
|
Description : This is an excellent reference and study guide for all of you art history nerds out there. It is extensive in all the important areas of Western art history. It is a little skimpy on the rest of the world and their art, however this is understandable being that they want to keep the information in one book rather than a library. I have heard that this is one of the first editions of this text to include female artist.
To the authors: Welcome to the twenty first century; I highly recommend your book boys.
