The Turmoil
￥9.00
A familiar midwestern novel in the tradition of Sherwood Anderson and Sinclair Lewis, The Turmoil was the best-selling novel of 1915. It is set in a small, quiet city--never named but closely resembling the author's hometown of Indianapolis--that is quickly being transformed into a bustling, money-making nest of competitors more or less overrun by "the worshippers of Bigness." "There is a midland city in the heart of fair, open country, a dirty and wonderful city nesting dingily in the fog of its own smoke, " begins The Turmoil, the first volume of Pulitzer Prize-winner Booth Tarkington's "Growth" trilogy. A narrative of loss and change, a love story, and a warning about the potential evils of materialism, the book chronicles two midwestern families trying to cope with the onset of industrialization. Tarkington believed that culture could flourish even as the country was increasingly fueled by material progress. The Turmoil, the first great success of his career, tells the intertwined stories of two families: the Sheridans, whose integrity wanes as their wealth increases, and the Vertrees, who remain noble but impoverished. Linked by the romance between a Sheridan son and a Vertrees daughter, the story of the two families provides a dramatic view of what America was like on the verge of a new order. An introduction by Lawrence R. Rodgers places the novel squarely in the social and cultural context of the Progressive Era.

Persische Briefe
￥9.00
Die "Lettres persanes" (erste Ausgabe 1721) des franz?sischen Staatsphilosophen der Aufkl?rung Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron de La Brède de Montesquieu (so sein vollst?ndiger Name) ist eines der wirkm?chtigsten Bücher der Weltliteratur, zugleich eines der erfolgreichsten zu seiner Zeit. Es ist nach der franz?sischen Revolution allerdings zunehmend in den Schatten von Montesquieus Hauptwerk, "De l’esprit des loix" (1748, Vom Geist der Gesetze), getreten, obwohl es im Vergleich zu den politischen Positionen in den Persischen Briefen durchaus als Rückschritt betrachtet werden kann. Im Gegensatz zu dem Hauptwerk gehen die Persischen Briefe unterhaltsam und satirisch an die zentralen Fragestellungen der Zeit heran; wenn man bedenkt, dass es dem Verfasser vor allem darum zu tun gewesen sein soll, mit diesem Text seine Aufnahme in die Academie fran?aise, die er in den Briefen noch dazu geh?rig verspottet, zu erreichen - was ihm auch gelang -, dann dr?ngt sich der Gedanke auf, dass das Selbstinteresse einmal mehr einen Zweck durchgesetzt hat, den es gar nicht vordringlich verfolgte.
