All roads lead to the North in the second book of the Jack and the Giant Killers series. The action that began in Book One branches out in two parallel narratives as Jack and the Giant Killers break up. They must save their beloved mentor, Abel, and round up the elements that the cruel giant, Gorgo, requires to open the terrible Hateful Gate. Failure would mean victory for the ruthless thunder giant, Gorgo, and his equally horrid family, who are more determined than ever in their relentless march to absolute power in Ooom. Jack and his young comrades are faced with countless perils as they transport a feisty talking hen to safety in the mystic northern kingdom of Glacial. By the time the novel concludes, the stage will be set for what promises to be an epic final battle for Ooom.

Rainer Maria Rilke was first published in 1958. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.The German poet Rainer Maria Rilke died in 1926, and interest in his poetry has been mounting ever since. The winds of fashion, taste, or personal bias have shifted several times to affect his audience of readers. There have been, according to previous Rilke criticism, not one but many Rilkes. Thus the critics have pointed to the "early Rilke" and the "late Rilke," to the Prague poet, the Paris poet, and the Muzot poet.Now, in a fresh approach yet one which takes full cognizance of the varying viewpoints and conflicting purposes of earlier criticism, Professor Wood carefully examines Rilke's entire poetic output. The major concern here is with the poetry itself rather than with the biographical, psychological, or philosophical questions which have dominated most previous criticism.Through a close textual analysis of the poems, Professor Wood demonstrates that the whole body of Rilke's writing, from beginning to end, is thoroughly interrelated and interdependent. As he points out, many more published materials, both posthumous verse and correspondence, are available now than in the earlier periods of Rilke's fame, a situation which adds significance to this new evaluation.In addition to analyzing Rilke's own poetry, Professor Wood shows the links between Rilke and such contemporary poets and writers as Gide, Proust, T.S. Eliot, and Yeats.The excerpts quoted from Rilke's poetry are given both in the original German text and in standard English translation.
