"Our Lady." The book which Upton Sinclair says:"There is a saying that every author has one book which he especially loves, and "Our Lady" is mine! This is a deeper and kindlier Sinclair than you ever have known. "Our Lady" will haunt you just as it did its author. You will read "Our Lady" not once but many times, and you will concur with Mr Sinclair and the critics of the 30's and 40's, that it is the finest book ever done by Upton. A parable for moderns, it yet has all of the speed and suspense of a closely-knit novel. This book has never been reprinted since it was published over 65 years ago and was a rare book before a copy was found. A Collector's Edition!

They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of the Second Coming

As an American socialist, Upton Sinclair was fascinated by Christianity and wrote many fictional books that hummed around the main faith of Anericans. Titles like "Our Lady", "The Secret Life of Jesus" and "A Personal Jesus". "They Call Me Carpenter: A Tale of The Second Coming" is cleary set in the period when it was written in 1922 - the post WWI era. An excerpt from the story: "But you Americans have taken Christ the carpenter - I laughed. It appeared that at this moment we were passing St. Bartholomew's Church, a great brown-stone structure standing at the corner of the park. I waved my hand towards it. "In there," I said, "over the altar, you may see Christ, the carpenter, dressed up in exquisite robes of white and amethyst, set up as a stained glass window ornament. But of you'll stop and think, you'll realize it wasn't we Americans who began that!"

The "Fight Against Stalinism" clearly demonstrates how in the last year of his life, Lenin along with Trotsky began a broad struggle against what was finally called Stalinism. This book documents Lenin and Trotsky's fight against Stalin on the improtant issues of the day - the state monopoly of foreign trade, the growth of bureacratism and the treatment of nationaal minorities. Ultimately, Trotsky was murdered by Stalin in the 1930's in Mexico. In "Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism" Lenin sites the importance of world trade in the beginning of the 20th century. Imperialism is a basic concept that Marx himself dealt with by analysis and debate which Lenin continued as competition created instability throughout the world. Instability caused international war, the emergence of international capital and an increase in industrial monopolies. Both of these books will give the reader an insight to Lenin's thinking during this critical period. His analysis contues to be applicable to modern times which we now call 'global' trade.
