The Hibit of telling is one of the most primitive character of the human race.The oldest of stories are the myths.Far earlier written down,but less primitive in kind,are the FEsopic Fables.In these allegorical tales,the form of the old animistic story is used without any belief in the identity of the personalities of men and animals ,but with a conscious double meaning and for the purpose of teaching a lesson,In the present collection,the fables have been retold in simple language by Mr.Joseph Jacobs.A glance at the titles will be sufficient to know to what an extraordinary extent these simple stories have become the common property of all peoples.The brothers Grimm was the first deliberate attempt to preserve in their pure form the traditional domestic tales of the German people.The stories collected here are taken from the result of their collaboration.Many of Andersen's Tales are on Folk-lore while many are purely his own imagining,but all are told with a quaintness,humor,and fancy that have given the auth

"Hooking Up" ranges all over the modern world; in it Tom Wolfe updates us on the sexual manners and mores of teenagers (he is not adverse to doing a survey of teenage address books to find out exactly how many of them don't know the names of the boy/girl they've just hooked up with). From this he moves effortlessly to an investigation of the fundamental ways in which our lives and self-perceptions have changed, living as we do in a modern world of genetic engineering and neuroscience. There are pieces on 'sting TV' as well as forecasts of radical changes sweeping the world of the arts. "Hooking Up" closes with the legendary, never-before-reprinted pieces about "The New Yorker" and its famously reclusive editor William Shawn, pieces, which early on helped win Wolfe his matchless reputation for reportorial bravura and spot-on insight. A glorious, questioning, memorable book, "Hooking Up" shows Tom Wolfe at the very top of his form. Tom Wolfe is the author of more than a dozen books,among them such conteprar

Frank O'Hara was one of the great poets of the twentiethcentury and, along with such widely acclaimed writers as DeniseLevertov, Allen Ginsberg, Robert Creeley, and Gary Snyder, acrucial contributor to what Donald Allen termed the New AmericanPoetry, "which, by its vitality alone, became the dominant force inthe American poetic tradition." Frank O'Hara was born in Baltimorein 1926 and grew up in New England; from 1951 he lived and workedin New York, both for "Art News" and for the Museum of Modern Art,where he was an associate curator. O'Hara's untimely death in 1966at the age of forty was, in the words of fellow poet John Ashbery,"the biggest secret loss to American poetry since John Wheelwrightwas killed." This collection is a reissue of a volume firstpublished by Grove Press in 1957, and it demonstrates beautifullythe flawless rhythm underlying O'Hara's conviction that to writepoetry, indeed to live, "you just go on your nerve."

Charles Dickens was a phenomenon: a demonicly hardworkingjournalist, the father of ten children, a tireless walker andtraveller, a supporter of liberal social causes, but most of all agreat novelist - the creator of characters who live immortally inthe English imagination: the Artful Dodger, Mr Pickwick, Pip, DavidCopperfield, Little Nell, Lady Dedlock, and many more. At the ageof twelve he was sent to work in a blacking factory by hisaffectionate but feckless parents. From these unpromisingbeginnings, he rose to scale all the social and literary heights,entirely through his own efforts. When he died, the world mourned,and he was buried - against his wishes - in Westminster Abbey. Yetthe brilliance concealed a divided character: a republican, hedisliked America; sentimental about the family in his writings, hetook up passionately with a young actress; usually generous, he cutoff his impecunious children. Claire Tomalin, author of "WhitbreadBook of the Year Samuel Pepys", paints an unforgettable portrai
