Havelock Ellis On Love, Sex and Virtue
The art of making love and the art of being virtuous remain essentially the same in all ages and among all people. That's the view of Havelock Ellis, author of LITTLE ESSAYS OF LOVE AND VIRTUE. This was published in 1930 by Doubleday, Doran & Co., Garden City NY.

And Ellis is no stranger to these topics, having written major works on the Psychology of Sex, Man and Woman, and Social Hygiene. This 187-page hardbound book covers what Ellis calls the little modifications that become necessary in relationships.

Chapter titles include Children and Parents, the Meaning of Purity, Objects of Marriage, Husbands and Wives, Love-Rights of Women, the Play-Function of Sex and the Individual and the Race.

Condition is Good+, although the book is ex lib with the usual library markings. Covers show no serious damage with just slight scuffing. The front hinge is broken, but all pages inside are still tightly bound. The inside pages show no apparent defects.

It's an interesting view of love, sex and virtue in the early third of the 20th Century! (3128)

Eyewitness to Stalin's Terror

A Russian woman and a dedicated Communist from the very beginning, Eugenia Semyonovna Ginzburg was determined to not suffer the same fate of Pasternak's Lara -- dying or vanishing somewhere in one of the Russian concentration camps which sprung up when Stalin began his purge.

After 18 years of prisons and Siberian labor camps, she was allowed to return to Moscow, where she vowed to tell the awful truth of those years that began in 1934. Her story is here, in JOURNEY INTO THE WHIRLWIND.

The 418-page hardbound book was published in this FIRST EDITION in the English language in 1967 by Harcourt, Brace & World, New York. Translators from the original text were Paul Stevenson and Max Hayward. The story is courageous, immediate, compelling and horrifying in many details. It's also strangely exhilarating - and a great narrative document!

The book is in Very Good condition, although it is ex lib with the usual library markings. We see no defects on inside pages. The front hinge, however, is broken at top near the front. The dust jacket is present under a Mylar cover, but shows serious edge and corner wear. Still, the book's a beauty … and we're offering this at a bargain price!
