William C. Harvey

Written for intermediate students taking Spanish on a high school or college level, this book can be used in the classroom as a main text or as a textbook supplement. It covers every aspect of Spanish grammar and correct usage, beginning with verbs and analyzing verb tenses, the passive voice, reflexive verbs, verb formations in the subjunctive mood, imperative command verb forms, and uses of verb infinitives. Major topics that follow cover nouns, modifiers, and the other parts of speech, interrogative forms, words that express negation, feminine forms, demonstratives and possessives, pronouns, diminutive and augmentative word formations, and more. Contemporary idioms are interspersed throughout the text, and the book's many exercises give students plenty of solid practice. Cartoon illustrations throughout the book help to demonstrate points of Spanish grammar.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Walter Kaufmann

The works of Friedrich Nietzsche have fascinated readers around the world ever since the publication of his first book more than a hundred years ago. As Walter Kaufmann, one of the world’s leading authorities on Nietzsche, notes in his introduction, “Few writers in any age were so full of ideas,” and few writers have been so consistently misinterpreted. The Portable Nietzsche includes Kaufmann’s definitive translations of the complete and unabridged texts of Nietzsche’s four major works: Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, Nietzsche Contra Wagner and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In addition, Kaufmann brings together selections from his other books, notes, and letters, to give a full picture of Nietzsche’s development, versatility, and inexhaustibility. “In this volume, one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensitive, passionate, and misunderstood writers in Western, or any, literature.” —Newsweek

The Life and Works of Dali

Masterful translations of the great philosopher's major work on ethics, along with his own remarkable review of his life and works. 

On the Genealogy of Morals (1887) shows him using philsophy, psychology, and classical philology in an effort to give new direction to an ancient discipline.

The work consists of three essays.  The first contrasts master morality and slave morality and indicates how the term "good" has widely different meanings in each.  The second inquiry deals with guilt and the bad conscience; the third with ascetic ideals--not only in religion but also in the academy.  

Ecce Homo, written in 1898 and first published posthumously in 1908, is Nietzsche's review of his life and works.  It contains chapters on all the books he himself published. His interpretations are as fascinating as they are invaluable.  Nothing Nietzsche wrote is more stunning stylistically or as a human document.

Walter Kaufmann's translations are faithful of the word and spirit of Nietzsche, and his running footnote commentaries on both books are more comprehensive than those in his other Nietzsche translations because these two works have been so widely misunderstood.

William Strunk Jr

Richard De A'Morelli

This new and updated (2017) Classic Edition contains the original version of The Elements of Style written by William Strunk Jr. Generations of writers and college students have learned the basics of grammar from this short book. It was rated "one of the 100 most influential books written in English" by Time in 2011, and iconic author Stephen King recommended it as a grammar handbook that all aspiring writers should read. Written a century ago, Strunk's book is a nostalgic link to the Art Deco era and the Roaring Twenties. Many of the grammar rules listed in the book are still relevant today; but, one by one, these rules are becoming obsolete. This Classic Edition commemorates the 100-year anniversary of Prof. Strunk's book and follows his original version, but this new version offers these added features for present-day readers: 1. Editor's Notes throughout the book to alert readers to obsolete grammar rules, and offer up-to-date advice on current writing practices. 2. Grammar examples are illustrated with "right" and "wrong" icons, allowing readers to easily tell correct examples from errors at a glance. 3. A Study Guide has been added at the back of the book. 4. The paperback version provides blank, lined pages at the back of the book for convenient note taking. 5. The e-book version has been restyled for improved display on the latest Kindle devices and other e-book readers; and the paperback edition has been restyled and reformatted for a more modern, appealing look. If you are looking for a quick refresher to improve your grammar and style, or if you are taking a college course and "Elements of Style" is on your required reading list, this Classic Edition will give you the best of both worlds: a version that remains true to Strunk's original book, plus modern touches which make this grammar book truly useful and up-to-date. Thank you for purchasing the Classic Edition, and enjoy your read!
