KIRKUS REVIEW  Lee's command, despite his own military genius, was one of almost unmixed tragedy, confusion and helplessness. He came to lead the forces of Virginia only after long indecision and prayer. The army placed under him possessed neither arms, shoes or supplies. His generals were neither loyal nor obedient to his orders, and Lee, suffering from a single weakness, did not have the courage to remove them. Vital strategic plans fell into the wrong hands; sickness and death in Lee's own family matched his grief on the death of Jackson, his chief and bravest support in battle. The details, precise and intimate, of Lee's day by day experiences are retold- as if by an eye witness. Lee's family attitudes, his stoicism, his horse, his search for a pencil when correcting the draft of his surrender- all this is vivid, immediate and convincing. The accounts of action are especially impressive. Certainly obligatory for Civil War enthusiasts, for history students, and for others a moving portrait.

The classic study of Kubrick--available once again and fully updated If Stanley Kubrick had made only 2001: A Space Odyssey or Dr. Strangelove, his cinematic legacy would have been assured. But from his first feature film, Fear and Desire, to the posthumously released Eyes Wide Shut, Kubrick created an accomplished body of work unique in its scope, diversity, and artistry, and by turns both lauded and controversial. In this newly revised and definitive edition of his now classic study, film critic Michel Ciment provides an insightful examination of Kubrick's thirteen films-including such favorites as Lolita, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket-alongside an assemblage of more than four hundred photographs that form a complementary photo essay. Rounding out this unique work are a short biography of Kubrick; interviews with the director, as well as cast and crew members, including Malcolm McDowell, Shelley Duvall, and Jack Nicholson; and a detailed filmography and bibliography. Meshed with masterful integrity, the book's text and illustrations pay homage to one of the most visionary, original, and demanding filmmakers of our time.

Meet Mr Bones, the canine hero of Paul Auster's remarkable new novel, Timbuktu. Mr Bones is the sidekick and confidant of Willy G. Christmas, the brilliant, troubled and altogether original poet-saint from Brooklyn. They sally forth on a last great adventure heading for Baltimore, Maryland, in search of Willy's high-school teacher, Bea Swanson. Years have passed since Willy last saw his beloved mentor, who knew him in his previous incarnation as William Gurevitch, the son of Polish war refugees. But is Mrs Swanson still alive? And if she isn't, what will prevent Willy from vanishing into that other world known as Timbuktu? Mr Bones is our witness. Although he walks on four legs and cannot speak, he can think, and out of his thoughts Auster has spun one of the richest, most compelling tales in recent American fiction. By turns comic, poignant and tragic, Timbuktu is above all a love story.
