An Exhibition from the Fondation Martin Bodmer, Cologny, Switzerland, in cooperation with the Grolier Club of New York. Preface by T. Peter Kraus. Martin Bodmer was an honorary member of the Grolier Club from 1964 until his death in 1971. Over the years, he assembled one of the world's greatest libraries and set up a foundation to create a permanent institutional home for his collection. With more than 160,000 items including a Gutenberg Bible and drawings by Michelangelo and Leonardo, every item helped to illustrate the development of World Literature. A Mirror of the World is a checklist which accompanied the exhibition devoted to Martin Bodmer. The introduction by Martin Bircher includes a brief biography of Bodmer and descriptions of the Gottfried Keller Prize, the literary journal Corona, and the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana. The exhibition is divided into categories including The Bible, Literature, History, Science, Music, and Travel. Various items from Bodmer's collection were chosen to represent these categories. Including illustrations, this catalogue further provides summaries of the German Catalogue and descriptions of epic poems, novels, fiction, classical drama, poetry, philosophy, natural sciences medicine, and geography. It concludes with ten English and American poems from poets including Walt Whitman, Jane Austen, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and James Joyce., Bibliotheca Bodmeriana and The Grolier Club, 2001, Boston, Massachusetts: Twayne.

Lewis Thomas (Twayne's United States Authors Series, Book 547)141 pp. "Lewis Thomas (November 25, 1913?December 3, 1993) was a physician, poet, etymologist, essayist, administrator, educator, policy advisor, and researcher...Many of his essays discuss relationships among ideas or concepts using etymology as a starting point. Others concern the cultural implications of scientific discoveries and the growing awareness of ecology. In his essay on Mahler's Ninth Symphony, Thomas addresses the anxieties produced by the development of nuclear weapons.[1] Thomas is often quoted, given his notably eclectic interests and superlative prose style."Keywords: LEWIS THOMAS LITERARY BIOGRAPHY 20th century,criticism and theory,essays,essays and correspondence,history,history and criticism,literature and fiction,modern (16th-21st centuries),movements and periods,religion Religion & Spirituality, Cengage Gale<
