The interior of th ebook is clean with no marks in the text. The binding is solid. . . . . . From Fulton J. Sheen s Introduction: I first came to know the author of this book a little over two years ago; since then, I have had both direct contact with him – not only in America, but also in China, which we both visited last spring. He is a Croat priest wo spent eighteen months incognito as an officer attached to the Red Army, six of these traveling inside Russia itself. I know that the story of this spiritual Odyssey behind the Iron Curtain is authentic. (Indeed, it is the very authenticity of his account which makes it necessary for this priest to use an assumed name: the need for anonymity increases in direct ratio to the fear and tyranny of a political milieu.)

It was a tentative approach to a long career as lecturer and dinner speaker, as advocate of causes, and introducer at meetings charitable and political. By late middle age he was a veteran in demand for all sorts of occasions, from formal dinners to fund-raising campaigns.

William Faulkner is a legendary southern USA author - his books are among the best fiction in the American literary field. His younger brother, John Faulkner, also had the gift of storytelling, except here it's not fiction, but warm and brotherly insights into life with his older and more famous brother. The book is a great read even if you don't know much about William Faulkner, or southern life in the early 20th century (read their wiki pages for a quick bio synopsis to prep if not), and also if your a historian on such matters. This book is a welcome addition to any home library! -- Dean Carter

The spine is not creased and the book appears unread. A classic analysis of the Black middle class studies its origin and development, accentuating its behavior, attitudes, and values during the 1940s and 1950s. When it was first published in 1957, E. Franklin Frazier?s Black Bourgeoisie was simultaneously reviled and revered - revered for its skillful dissection of one of America?s most complex communities, reviled for daring to cast a critical eye on a section of black society that had achieved the trappings of the white, bourgeois ideal. . . . . The author traces the evolution of this enigmatic class from the segregated South to the post-war boom in the integrated North, showing how, along the road to what seemed like prosperity and progress, middle-class blacks actually lost their roots to the traditional black world while never achieving… Read More
