Lustrous Visions, Cut From Stone - New York Times
Despite signs to the contrary, conspicuous consumption is not what it used to be. Most exhibitions of decorative arts from the past, especially Europe’s monarchical age, drive that fact home in thrilling, and sometimes off-putting, fashion. But few

Imperfect Strangers

Imperfect Strangers

Sandy Kinsolving’s once-glittering life hangs by a threat; his future depends on his wife’s inheritance and whether or not she’s about to throw him out on his ear. What he wouldn’t give for a solution to his money and marriage problems.

If this were an Alfred Hitchcock movie, the solution would be obvious. Enter a stranger with wife problems of his own, who offers a violent — and mutually advantageous - proposal.

Them in the time it takes to whisper a word, Kinsolving’s normal life ends. What radiates like a mirage before him is wealth, security, and freedom. But lurking in the shadows are a brutal murder he cannot prevent, and a madman who stalks his every waking moment.

Thomas Jefferson and His Time, Vol. 3: Jefferson and The Ordeal of Liberty

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 by Book Guy | No Comments »

"Maintains the mature scholarship established by the earlier volumes. Academic in the
best sense, it not only displays an intimate familiarity with the vast literature but contains an acute
evaluation of Jefferson’s ideas and ideals."–Saturday Review

The third volume in Dumas Malone’s distinguished study of Thomas Jefferson and his time deals with
one of the most fascinating and controversial periods of Jefferson’s life. It includes the story of the final
and most crucial phase of his secretaryship of state; his retirement to Monticello; his assumption of
the leadership of the opposition party; and the crisis during the half-war with France when political
oppression was threatened and the freedom of individuals imperiled.
