I.M. Pei: Complete Works $52.45 When I. M. Pei was awarded the Pritzker Prize in 1983, the jury said he had “given this century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms.” I. M. Pei: Complete Works, the first and definitive survey of the master architect, attests to this statement by showcasing Pei’s transcendent, sculptural forms in over fifty projects and more than 300 illustrations, culminating in the last works he is currently completing. Often working in a spare geometry with a palette of stone, concrete, glass, and steel, Pei–who began his career pioneering public housing projects in New York City–has taken his vision of modern architecture across the globe with commissions in locations as diverse as Quatar, China, Luxembourg, Japan, and Germany. Meanwhile, major projects such as the JFK Library in Boston and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., have made him a household name in the United States. |

The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye $12.48 The magnificent title story of this collection of fairy tales for adults describes the strange and uncanny relationship between its extravagantly intelligent heroine–a world renowned scholar of the art of story-telling–and the marvelous being that lives in a mysterious bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar. As A.S. Byatt renders this relationship with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing, but inevitable. The companion stories in this collection each display different facets of Byatt’s remarkable gift for enchantment. They range from fables of sexual obsession to allegories of political tragedy; they draw us into narratives that are as mesmerizing as dreams and as bracing as philosophical meditations; and they all us to inhabit an imaginative universe astonishing in the precision of its detail, its intellectual consistency, and its splendor. “A dreamy treat…. It is not merely strange, it is wondrous.” –”Boston Globe “Alternatingly erudite and earthy, direct and playful…. If Scheherazade ever needs a break, Byatt can step in, indefinitely.” –”Chicago Tribune “Byatt’s writing is crystalline and splendidly imaginative…. These [are] perfectly formed tales.” –”Washington Post Book World |
