This book is in French on one side & in English on the other. It is a joy to read. "Luminous" --Benoit Patard, poetry publisher. "Poetic, lyrical, amusing from beginning to end. Moore has taken the sadness out of love poems." --Francois d'Apollonia, poet. Gilbert Moore's "Lorraine, As In a Chagall Painting," is a long Apollinairesque paean in Dada to Lolo -- Lorraine of the body with "the freshness of an armistice renewed without wars." Intoxicated with love, Moore has written a tour de force of iconoclastic wit, lexiconic humor & calligrammatic romance. He's written a lyric love poem for the 21st century.--Carl Schoettler, The Baltimore Evening Sun. A Montreal-based journalist, Gilbert Moore has been writing for twenty years for French & English newspapers. He is the author of four French books of poetry & a treatise on alcoholism. The Canada Council awarded him a major grant to write a novel in English. "I've always had a wife & two mistresses: literature, French & English," he says. "Very faithful."

During the reigns of Ramses II and his successors, from about 1300 BC to 1150 BC, a social class of well-educated secular royal scribes and temple craftsmen appeared in Ancient Egypt rivaling the traditional priesthood in cultural influence, if not power. In their hands a new genre of literature took shape: Secular love poetry depicting in hieratic script real flesh-and-blood men and women, expressing real emotions and speaking to one another with real, often erotic and tender human feelings for the first time. Unfortunately, this state of affairs was to last only as long as the reigns of Ramses II and his immediate successors. Roughly 100 years. The translations edited and presented in this third edition represent the collective effort of at least three generations of Egyptologists, dating back to the late 19th century and reaching a highpoint in the translations of Miriam Lichtheim in the 1970s and the recent efforts of Bernard Mathieu and others.

The author explores a fascinating and provocative thesis he calls the mancala hypothesis: While early Chinese chess (Liubo and Xiangxi)  played a pivotal role in the evolution of chess, its role was intermediate and secondary. The inventive momentum for chess originated in Africa, the author contends,  perhaps 72,000 years ago on repeated cycles of inventive evolutionary drift and mutation. Basing this hypothesis on the out-of-Africa theory now gaining widespread acceptance, the author constructs a Nash equilibrium model of invention to estimate the speed of the inventive drift. Descent from throw sticks, mancala and Senet into their modern forms (I-Ching, modern chess and dice) coincided with the continuous migration of Mitochondrial Eve and Y-Chromosomal Adam’s near and distant cousins out of Africa and the criss-crossing paths of their descendant’s returning back flow out of China thru India to Europe.  The diffusion window: Trade routes for the movement of weapons, supplies and chess boards running parallel to and, in some cases, overlaying the migratory paths of homo sapiens leaving Africa tens of thousands of years before. Innovative changes to chess piece imagery and rules were randomly transmitted back and forth along these paths.

Imagine you've just entered the parking garage of your office building one morning, you step out of the car, still a little sleepy-eyed, lock the door with your remote and turn around: There staring in your face is a camel, with profoundly soft, gentle eyes, silhouetted against a setting sun. The parking lot? Gone. Your office building? Doesn't exist anymore. And your hum-drum 9-to-5? Gone too. No, this is not the Twilight Zone, it's what this book Through the Eye of A Needle is about: The transformation of our hum-drum existence into the miraculous -- and you don't even have to buy expensive tickets and fly to Egypt for it to happen, the transformation can begin right in the middle of this sentence you're reading -- like turning around in a parking garage one hum-drum morning and staring at a camel. And if that were not not good enough, the book won't even cost you that much: $39.95 (and as everybody knows if you wait long enough, Amazon will sell it to you for a third of that price.) So what's this book about again? Read the inside flap of the dust cover, it will tell you: It's about "the union of the sacred and the profane. Beginning with a brief reconnaisance of prehistoric caves at Chauvet and winding its way through ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, [the book] asks a simple question: What do these images really mean?" The book's punchline (which you won't find here) relating to the secret teachings of Lao Tzu, Buddha, Moses, Christ and Plato will simply astonish you -- and (depending on your type -- negative, positive, neutral) maybe even please you.
