1000 tulosta hakusanalla Carson McCullers
På New York Café, i en sørstatsby på 30-tallet, spiser døvstumme John Singer sin middag hver dag. Mange av byens innbyggere kommer til han for å lette sitt hjerte; Den sinte drukkenbolten, den svarte legen og borgerrettighetsforkjemperen, og Mick Kelly, ungjenta med de store drømmene og sin veldige lengsel etter skjønnhet. De forteller den vennlige mannen om sine drømmer og lengsler. På sitt stillfarne vis skal Singer komme til å endre deres ensomme liv på måter de ikke har kunnet forestille seg. Hjertet er en ensom jeger ble en litterær sensasjon da den utkom i 1940. Den 23 år gamle forfatteren viser en litterær modenhet og livsinnsikt som treffer leseren midt i hjertet og hun gir et lavmælt og krystallklart bilde av kampen rundt klasse, rase og kjønn. Boka regnes som en av de store klassikerne i amerikansk litteratur. Den gikk rett inn på norske bestselgerlister ved gjenutgivelsen i 2016.
Ett av de stora moderna amerikanska författarskapen i ny utgåva »Carson McCullers har på ett oöverträffat sätt utforskat människans hjärta.« Tennessee WilliamsDe båda döva männen John Singer och Spiros Antonopoulos bor tillsammans i ett litet brukssamhälle i 1930-talets Georgia. När Antonopoulos blir sjuk och tvingas läggas in för vård i en annan stad flyttar Singer från deras gemensamma lägenhet och blir inneboende hos en familj, där han blir vän med deras missförstådda dotter Mick Kelly. Den gamla tillvaron med dess vanor bryts, och snart är Singer omgiven av nya människor, vars liv och vedermödor tecknar sig mot bakgrund av hans välvilliga och inbjudande tystnad. Hjärtat jagar allena kom ut 1940 och blev en omedelbar litterär sensation. På ett ojämförligt sätt låter McCullers sina romanfigurer gestalta de sociala och politiska klyftor, den fattigdom, rasism och individualism, som både då och nu präglar USA. Romanen klättrade till toppen av försäljningslistorna och blev början på ett av de stora moderna amerikanska författarskapen. I översättning av Nils Jacobsson. CARSON MCCULLERS [1917-1967], född i Columbus, Georgia, var en amerikansk författare, dramatiker och poet. Hennes verk ger röst åt de marginaliserade, bortglömda och förtryckta, och utspelar sig till stor del i den amerikanska södern. Mest känd är hon för debutromanen Hjärtat jagar allena [The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter], som betraktas som en omistlig klassiker och bland annat placerades på plats 17 när Modern Library rankade 1900-talets bästa engelskspråkiga romaner.»En magnifik roman.« New York Times

The partition of Ireland in 1921, and the birth of Northern Ireland as a political entity, was the work of one man above all. Edward Carson, born in Dublin in 1854, was a brilliant lawyer whose cross-questioning of Oscar Wilde at his libel trial brought about Wilde's downfall. An inspiring orator and a political heavyweight at Westminster, his defense of Unionism in the years before the First World War, and of the rights of Ulster not to be swamped in an independent Ireland, made a united Ireland a political impossibility. While some of his actions were denounced in England as close to treason, Carson's idealism and religious tolerance were untypical of the sectarian bigotry that marred the later history of Northern Ireland. "Carson: The Man Who Divided Ireland" is the first modern biography of a major figure in both British and Irish politics.

Long recognized as a Chicago landmark, the Carson Pirie Scott Building also represents a milestone in the development of architecture. The last large commercial structure designed by Louis Sullivan, the Carson building reflected the culmination of the famed architect's career as a creator of tall steel buildings. In this study, Joseph M. Siry traces the origins of the building's design and analyzes its role in commercial, urban, and architectural history. Originally constructed to house the Schlesinger and Mayer Store, Sullivan's building was one of a number of large department stores built at the turn of the century along State Street in Chicago's burgeoning retail district. Replacing a generation of commercial architecture that had grown out of the Great Fire of 1871, these new buildings were tall and steel-framed, a construction that posed new aesthetic problems for designers. Handsomely illustrated with more than one hundred photographs and drawings, Carson Pirie Scott provides an illuminating history of a pivotal architectural work and offers an original, revealing assessment of how Sullivan, responding to the commercial culture of his time, created a fresh, distinctive American building.
