Sowbelly $3.48 In 1932, a farmer named George Washington Perry decided it was too rainy to plow and went fishing. That day, George landed the largest largemouth ever recorded?twenty-two pounds four ounces. The fish has inspired and frustrated hundreds of anglers for decades. They?ve dedicated their lives to the pursuit of ?Sowbelly??a nearly mythical fish, whose swinelike girth holds the key to their dreams. From an L.A. cop who came within ounces of besting the record to an Alabaman who has lost his marriage and his daughter to this pursuit, Burke takes readers along for the ride in this legendary race. ?An artful narrative.??The Wall Street Journal ?In Burke?s hands, the biggest fish stories become human stories, at once optimistic and tragic, about what keeps us casting into the water of a dream.??Forbes ?A window to a very small universe where obsession, greed, and chicanery coexist with a strange nobility . . . Sowbelly is a fascinating examination of obsession even for readers who don?t fish.??St. Petersburg Times ?Monte Burke is the Homer of America?s fishing world as he takes us on an epic journey filled with great drama, colorful characters, and elusive largemouth bass.? ?Tom Brokaw |

Sowbelly and Sourdough $13.98 Although Sowbelly and Sourdough were staples in the chuck box, the cook often had a few more provisions on hand. Using limited ingredients, bean wranglers created mouth-watering vittles for a demanding bunch of cowboys. Their techniques and recipes, recorded here, range from traditional meat and bean dishes to fine-tastin’ baked goods and sweet-tooth-teasin’ desserts. Reaching behind the recipes, author Scott Gregory peeks into the lives of the chuck wagon cook and the cow pokes who gathered ’round his wagon. He reveals not only the "hows," but the "whys" of meal preparation on the trail. Quotes, quips and particulars around out the recipes, lending insight into the trail hand’s rough and rigorous lifestyle. SOWBELLY AND SOURDOUGH returns to a simpler way of living, and brings back the savory goodness of hearty meals built from scratch. |

The Classic $150 Focusing on a moment and a source in 19th-century France, Christopher Prendergast takes up a big question that is still with us: What is a classic? His enquiry, which centres on the French critic Sainte-Beuve (1804-69), who asked the question 'Qu'est-ce qu'un classique?' in an essay of 1850, takes us on a tour of the history of the 'classic' that provides insights into and beyond the 'culture wars' of the 19th century. – ;Focusing on a moment and a source in nineteenth-century France, Christopher Prendergast takes up a big question that is still with us: What is a classic? The question is, by virtue of its insistent recurrence, itself a classic question. It returns to haunt us. It provided the title of a text for French critic Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve in 1850 ('Qu'est-ce qu'un classique?'), as it did in the twentieth century for T.S. Eliot and John Coetzee. Centring on Sainte-Beuve in. his nineteenth-century context, Prendergast's inquiry takes us historically to many places (antiquity, the middle ages, the seventeenth and eighteenth as well as the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries). He also provides an intellectual history that travels across multiple disciplinary territories (in. addition to literary criticism and literary history, classical studies, comparative philology, historiography and political thought). Against this background, The Classic maps the evolution of Sainte-Beuve's thought from an initially cosmopolitan conception of the classic (close in spirit to Goethe's notion of Weltliteratur) to an increasingly nationalist conception, with a strong emphasis on the heritage of Latinity and France as its principal legatee. This emphasis was taken up by the extreme right in France after Sainte-Beuve's death, in a determined mobilizing of a version of the 'classic' on behalf of a. proto-fascist agenda. The final chapter deals with this appropriation and ends with a question of |
