One of Dickens's most haunting and bizarre novels, THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP is the story of "Little Nell" and her persecution by the grotesque and lecherous Quilp. It is a shifting kaleidoscope of events and characters as the story reaches its tragic climax--an ending that devastated its earliest readers. Dickens blends the actual blight of Victorian industrialization with echoes of past literary traditions. Illustrated.
South Coast New Guinea Cultures: History, Comparison, Dialectic
South coast New Guinea has long been a focus of ethnographic attention, with its varied cultures, its reputation for flamboyant sexual practices, and its traditions of headhunting. Dr. Knauft examines previous ethnographic material to reanalyze the region's seven major language-culture areas, covering a range of topics including sexuality, social inequality, the status of women, religion, politics and violence. Ethnographically rich and theoretically sophisticated, this book will be essential reading for all those interested in Melanesia, and should be read by anyone concerned with the problems of cultural comparison.
