Illustrated with scenes from the Photoplay an RKO all talking picture starring Chester Morris. Arnold Zweig's The Case of Sergeant Grischa is the second novel in his A Trilogy of the Transition series about World War I. The plot, based on a true story, revolves around the hapless Russian soldier, Sergeant Grischa. Grischa is laboring away in a prisoner of war camp, but, anticipating the end of the war, Grischa can't wait to be reunited with his wife and daughter. He escapes and while on the run from the Germans falls in with a motley assortment of other escapees, criminals and deserters. Worried about what will happen to him if he is recaptured and discovered to be an escaped prisoner, Grischa assumes the identity of a dead Russian. Well, it turns out that he is recaptured and the Russian he is masquerading as was a known deserter. The Germans, who are facing their own problems with deserters, have issued a policy to execute any deserter. In this simple case of mistaken identity, Grischa is sentenced to death. While he is able to reestablish his true identity, it is too late, Grischa is caught in the wheels of military justice. A brisk read. The spiritual and moral struggles of the various characters involved in this passion play are what add depth to the story. - used books, secondhand books, out of print books, hard to find books, for sale, second-hand books, college books, student books, nonfiction, first edition, signed copies, non-fiction books delivered world wide.

One of the preeminent depicters of the society of the spectacle, Warhol became a spectacle unto himself, hobnobbing with celebrities and creating an ongoing hipster scene around his image. As his work has continued to grow in popularity, and critical positions on him proliferate, the depth and ambiguity of his oevre becomes clearer, and his scholars and audiences alike now see him for the prophetic visionary that he was. This catalogue presents an amazing selection of his work from throughout his career - from his early Brillo boxes and silkscreens of auto accidents and electric chairs, to his ÒportraitsÓ of Elvis, Marilyn, Liz, Mao, and Queen Elizabeth II, to film stills and self-portraits - as well as extensive essays on Warhol and the world he reflected and created. What emerges is an artist who addressed death and mortality as much as he did commodity fetishism and celebrity., English/Danish, Year2000, Illust. B/W36, Illust. Color70, ISBN 8790029488, Code 5625.

From Wikipedia: "Maya Kassandra Soetoro-Ng (born August 15, 1970) is the maternal half-sister of Barack Obama, who is the 44th and current President of the United States. She was previously a high school history teacher and university instructor in Hawaii....Soetoro-Ng authored a children's book, Ladder to the Moon, that was inspired by her mother and her daughter, Suhaila; it was published in 2011. She is working on a book about peace education and conflict resolution in high schools. She was a high-school history teacher at La Pietra: Hawaii School for Girls and the Education Laboratory School, both in Honolulu, Hawaii. She also taught night classes at the University of Hawaii. She previously taught and developed curriculum at The Learning Project, an alternative public middle school in New York City, from 1996 2000. In 2009 Soetoro-Ng helped bring her mother's dissertation to publication in the form of the book Surviving against the Odds: Village Industry in Indonesia. She wrote a foreword to the book and participated in its launch at the American Anthropological Association annual meeting. Most recently, she was an Education Specialist at the East West Center and an Assistant Professor at the University of Hawai'i College of Education. Soetoro-Ng speaks during the first day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. ResearchSoetoro-Ng's doctoral research at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Honolulu focused on Comparative International Education, and involved a study comparing an international school in Indonesia where she taught, and a school in New York. She particularly looked at qualitative differences, interviewing students, staff, and other people involved in the two schools. In May 2007, Soetoro-Ng announced that she would assist Obama in his campaign for President, and took two months off to campaign for him. Soetoro-Ng participated in the 2008 Democratic National Convention where she spoke briefly about growing up with her brother and brought an Asian-American presence to the stage. Soetoro-Ng also spoke briefly about the Obama administration's accomplishments at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 4, 2012, sharing the podium with First Lady Michelle Obama's older brother and Oregon State University men's basketball team head coach, Craig Robinson. From an on-line posting: " Rambunctious art, gemstone hues, glowing pictures and paintings grand enough for a mural are some of the words often used to describe Yuyi Morales s artwork. Since having emigrated from Mexico in 1994 she has drawn strongly from her Mexican heritage to create some of the most celebrated books for children. Born in Xalapa, the city of flowers and springs, Yuyi grew up among giant grandmothers, mossy house walls, and rampaging feral gardens. Amidst her family s magical stories she learned to perceive the ordinary as extraordinary. She began drawing in her early years while believing herself the daughter of the most beautiful woman and the strongest man in the world. Eventually she would spend long hours replicating her family s portraits, copying images from paperback graphic novels, and learning how to draw her face in front of the mirror.
