Peter Taylor
The Widows of Thornton.
"Mr. Taylor is that rare old-fashioned
thing, a natural writer of fiction, and his stories are as truthful and
individual as they are natural. Chekhov himself would have been
delighted by little masterpieces like 'What You Hear From 'Em?' and
'The Death of a Kinsman' . . . These stories are funny and touching
and as real as real can be."-RANDALL JARRELL

William Sansom
A Bed of Roses.
"The Spanish background is a vividly felt presence
in this novel
l
and the descriptions of bullfighting
are
superb . . . A
fine, dramatlc, sometimes funny
story."-The Atlantic.
"One of the
'musts' of contemporary novel reading . . . Virtually impossible to put
this book down."-ELIZABETH BOWEN.

Dudley Fitts
The Lysistrata of Aristophanes.
A new English version of Aristo–
phanes' great ribald comedy. "The most directly appealing of all the
plays .. . the
Lysistrata
deserves understanding and skillful treatment,
and this it has happily received at the experienced hands of Dudlev
Fitts."-MOSES HADAS,
N. Y. Times Book Review

Catholicism in America
Essays from The Commonweal
"A uniquely significant collection
of essays,
Catholicism in America
is in the best tradition of
The Com–
monweal,
the magazine in which they appeared serially . . . In a time
of accentuated conflict between religious groups in America the im–
portance of this
Commonweal
symposium can scarcely be exaggerated."
-ERNEST JOHNSON,

David Garnett
The Golden Echo.
An autobiography. "He sees people with a
painter's eye and a painter's delight ... Beautifully told ... Everyone
who reads it will look forward to its continuation."-EDWIN MUIR,
The Observer.
"A most vital book, thoroughly alive at every point."
-HOWARD SPRING.

Erich Maria Remarque
A Time To Loue and a Time To Die.
A novel acclaimed the
"All Quiet" of Worl!i War
II.
"This book is strangely fresh and
original. The reason, I am sure, is that Remarque has described not so
much the war or the bombings
as
the crushing of the souls of a people.
It
is the best book in English on Germany as
it
must have seemed and
felt at the end of the war."-HENRY SEIDEL
