This collection of extraordinary true stories -- including nine stories new to this expanded edition -- illuminates the experiences of a young Polish boy before World War II, through the gathering storm of Nazism, into the death camps, to poignant reunions many years later. Here we watch young Bernard break curfew to secure a rare chicken for the High Holidays -- only to see it given to the Christian janitor because it is not kosher; we meet Alexandra, a Polish resistance fighter who enlists the teenaged Bernard in the cause but who perishes while he survives; and we share Bernard's fear as he spends one very uncomfortable night -- hours after his liberation -- in the seemingly sympathetic home of the parents of a young SS officer.

Upon publication of Alan Isler's first novel, the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote: "Isler is not yet our generation's Bellow or Singer, but he may become precisely that." With The Bacon Fancier, that prediction has been realized Sanford Pinsker said in The Washington Post Book World: "Isler now joins the ranks of our best comic writers." The Bacon Fancier is a work in which four tales are linked by a common theme: the Jewish experience in the Gentile world. With wit, tenderness, and sheer high spirits, Isler pits untidily human protagonists against the clear evil of anti-Semitism; the results are tales that are buoyant, alluring, and unexpected. Spanning four centuries and weaving in literary references with sparkling finesse, Isler has produced that rare work of profound significance with the electrifying storytelling that makes reading a serious pleasure..

Anyone who has ever fallen under the spell of an aloof Siamese, an elegant Balinese, a sphinxlike Abyssinian, a tailless Manx, or a white-gloved Birman will welcome this matchless compendium.

The Cat Fanciers' Association Cat Encyclopedia presents the forty-three official breeds, as well as the more than eight hundred varieties, in alphabetical order and, in entries ranging in length from two to twenty pages, covers the name, nationality, year of recognition, main characteristics, attitudes, life cycle, historical notes, and unusual nuggets from legend and lore. In addition, a superb care manual provides general information on choosing and feeding a cat, tending to it in sickness and in health, traveling with it, and handling everything from reproduction to emergency first aid. The book clearly outlines CFA official breed standards (also pointing out differences with other international standards). It offers numerous charts, such as cat personality characteristics, to help a prospective cat owner make the best breed selection, and includes a glossary of important terms.

An essential resource for addicted ailurophiles, this fun-to-browse-through book is also the perfect gift for any tender soul susceptible to the charms of these feline friends..
