The Beat Hotel is a delightful chronicle of a remarkable moment in American literary history. From the Howl obscenity trial to the invention of the cut-up technique, Barry Miles's extraordinary narrative chronicles the feast of ideas that was Paris, where the Beats took awestruck audiences with Duchamp and Celine, and where some of their most important work came to fruition--Ginsberg's "Kaddish" and "To Aunt Rose"; Corso's The Happy Birthday of Death; and Burroughs's Naked Lunch. Based on firsthand accounts from diaries, letters, and many original interviews, The Beat Hotel is an intimate look at an era of spirit, dreams, and genius.

Groucho Marx may be the funniest man who ever lived. Here in one volume are the classics of Marxian mayhem: excerpts from the scripts of the immortal movies, passages from his books, his articles for magazines ranging from The New Yorker to the Saturday Evening Post , the choicest ad-libs and quips from his long-running game show, You Bet Your Life , and selected letters, including his classic correspondence with T. S. Eliot. It's all here-the finest and funniest work by this century's most influential comedian, that man of whom Woody Allen said, "He is simply unique in the same way Picasso and Stravinsky are, and I believe his outrageous, unsentimental disregard for order will be equally funny a thousand years from now. In addition to all this, he makes me laugh." In the words of Groucho Marx: One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he go in my pajamas I don't know. Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

Written by the author of Jonathan Livingstone Seagul, Illusions, The Bridge Across Forever and One, this novel tells of an adventure of the heart and mind.

Each of Carlos Castaneda's books is a tantalizing burst of illumination into the depths of our deepest mysteries, like a sudden flash of light, like a burst of lightning over the desert at night, which shows us a world that is both alien & totally familiar--the landscape of our dreams. Fire from Within is the author's most brilliant thought-provoking & unusual book, one in which Castaneda, under the tutelage of don Juan & his disciples, at last constructs, from the teachings of don Juan & his own experiences, a stunning portrait of the "sorcerer's world" that is crystal-clear & dizzying in its implications.

Depuis sa rencontre avec le maître Juan Matus, l'étudiant en ethnologie Castaneda a parcouru un long chemin à travers le temps et l'espace. Ce voyage vers la tierce attention était jusqu'ici jalonné d'expériences vécues par le disciple, telles que retracées par Castaneda. Avec cet ouvrage, l'apprenti devenu maître prend du recul sur son parcours, intégrant contradictions et incertitudes. Don Juan n'est plus un maître isolé, mais un maillon d'une chaîne, un nagual parmi d'autres, choisi pour constituer un clan de guerriers et transmettre une tradition ancienne, le don de l'Aigle. Castaneda se demande s'il sera à la hauteur des attentes de Don Juan et s'il pourra, comme lui, rassembler son clan et les conduire vers la liberté. Ce nouvel opus lui permet d'expliciter les techniques et méthodes présentées précédemment. À travers des thèmes récurrents, ce qui semblait obscur s'éclaire, et des fils divergents se croisent. Avec un talent de narration qui le place parmi les grands auteurs épiques, Castaneda fait de cet ouvrage la clé de voûte de son œuvre, enrichissant ainsi la compréhension de son parcours initiatique.
