History & Biography

“Levinger's book is a compelling collage in which love and memory illuminate fascinating fragments of American social history. It tells of twenty-year-old Sam Levinger, who died in 1937 fighting Franco's Nazi-backed rebels in Spain . . . Sam, the gifted, writerly boy who lives again now in Levinger's book through his letters home-their crystalline prose, shot through with wry humour, hints too at the sparse intensity of a soldier's experience.”

The Cultural Life Setting of the Proverbs

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Reading John Pilch's invitation to enter the cultural world of Proverbs from within the context of South-East Asia, where a number of the selfsame values enumerated in his 'scenarios' are enacted (evil eye, honor, in and out relations etc.), provides a double benefit for the reader. The Cultural Life Setting of Proverbs is reader-friendly, full of commonsense, even humorous on occasion. Students will indeed find it helpful and beneficial.”
