Ristampa dell'edizione del 1950. Copertina flessibile. Cesare Pavese scrive La luna e i falò tra il 18 settembre e il 9 novembre del 1949. La luna e i falò e' il più importante romanzo di Cesare Pavese ed una delle ultime opere dello scrittore, che morirà suicida nell'agosto del 1950. Il protagonista del romanzo è Anguilla, un uomo che decide di tornare nel suo paese natale sulle colline piemontesi dopo aver vissuto per molti anni in America e aver fatto fortuna lì. La storia, raccontata in prima persona, non concerne solo il protagonista, di cui viene detto solo il soprannome Anguilla, ma tanti altri personaggi che entrano in relazione con lui, in un paese della valle del Belbo che non viene mai nominato. Il romanzo è un misto tra passato e presente e proprio per questo non è narrato nei minimi dettagli, ma vengono raccontati eventi che non sono (apparentemente) collegati tra loro, se non dai pensieri e dalle riflessioni del protagonista. L'evocazione dei ricordi è vissuta insieme e attraverso il vecchio amico falegname Nuto, che era stato per Anguilla una figura paterna e che è sempre rimasto nel paese, vivendo i cambiamenti determinati dalla guerra partigiana. La luna e i falò riassume tutte le tematiche più care a Pavese: mito, paesaggio rurale, ricerca delle origini e distruzione portata dalla Guerra. "The nameless narrator of The Moon and the Bonfires, Cesare Pavese's last and greatest novel, returns to Italy from California after the Second World War. He has done well in America, but success hasn't taken the edge off his memories of childhood, when he was an orphan living at the mercy of a bitterly poor farmer. He wants to learn what happened in his native village over the long, terrible years of Fascism; perhaps, he even thinks, he will settle down. And yet as he uncovers a secret and savage history from the war - a tale of betrayal and reprisal, sex and death - he finds that the past still haunts the present." "The Moon and the Bonfires is a novel of intense lyricism and tragic import, a masterpiece of twentieth-century literature that has been unavailable to American readers for close to fifty years. Here it appears in a vigorous new English version by R.W. Flint, whose earlier translations of Pavese's fiction were acclaimed by Leslie Fiedler as "absolutely lucid and completely incantatory.""--Jacket.

2021 Facsimile of the 1962. In this book Hotema provides his insights into how we could all live longer by learning the body's simple requirements of breathing fresh air, avoiding animal flesh, banning any cooked food, and by gradually lessening the amount of food consumed. Hotema firmly believes that breathing fresh air and consuming organic fruits and natural organic liquids alone could extend our lives and also lays bare his secret that what kills at an early age is not the illusion of time, but rather overeating, breathing in toxic, unclean air, and elements such as electronic radiation, dirty electricity and medications. Numerous specific examples of individuals living well past 100 years of age are provided, along with the secrets to their longevity. A must-read for any health-conscious individual.

2021 Facsimile of the First Edition of 1951. No adventure is more compelling than the search for God, and no discovery is more satisfying than the realness of God. Pondering upon a lifetime of discovery through prayer, Glenn Clark surveys all that he has learned and gives his results and conclusions in a most lucid manner. Beginning with the three dimensions of space, he probes into the mysteries of the seven dimensions of God." He says, "The culmination of all our earthly and heavenly endeavor is Oneness" - oneness with one's neighbor, oneness with God the Father, and oneness with Christ. His treatment of the laws of the universe and the way he applies them to human experience is highly suggestive and practical. Dr. Clark then applies these discoveries to the problems of life - to friends, to health, to guidance and to finance. Finally, the author shows us how to look beneath and beyond the senses to their spiritual reality - beneath confusion lies stillness, beneath confusion lies perfect pattern, etc. This is a book for adventurers with God.

Illustrated Edition of 1959 in Facsimile. This is the first edition of one of the classic descriptions of wildcat cartridges, first published in 1949. Though revised and updated in 1962, this is Ackley's first effort at tackling the loading data, theory, and practice of wildcat cartridges. A wildcat cartridge, often shortened to wildcat, is a custom cartridge for which ammunition and/or firearms are not mass-produced. These cartridges are often created in order to optimize a certain performance characteristic (such as the power, size, or efficiency) of an existing commercial cartridge. Developing and using wildcat cartridges does not generally serve a purpose in military or law enforcement; it is more a hobby for serious shooting, hunting, gunsmithing and handloading enthusiasts, particularly in the United States.
