With 'Palace of Books', Grenier invites us to explore the domain of literature, its sweeping vistas and hidden recesses alike.

Young Turk

"Through a series of thirteen interwoven tales, Moris Farhi tells the story of a group of young friends coming of age in Turkey, a nation as vivid and beautiful as it is complex. A window onto a pluralistic world where Islam, Christianity, and Judaism coexist and Turks, Armenians, Kurds, and Greeks live side by side, Young Turk is peopled by a rich an eclectic mix of circus performers, schoolchildren, wandering poets, and renegade teachers. An alluring woman introduces a string of teenage boys to the carnal applications of rose-petal jam - and to the sting of first heartbreak. A lovelorn, wandering trapeze artist must exorcize the ghost of a past calamity in order to retain his spot high up in the big tent. A childhood comes to an abrupt end when a boy is inspected for signs of encroaching manhood and summarily denied his tantalizing weekly visits to the women's baths. A young girl endowed with clairvoyance struggles under the weight of the calamities she foresees." "Set in the years surrounding World War II, Young Turk juxtaposes the lives and passions of its unforgettable characters with the tumult of Turkish history."--BOOK JACKET.

First published in 1986. Scientific hypnosis has made great advances particularly since World War II, both as part of basic psychological science concerned with the understanding of brain, mind, and personality and as a professional skill in which knowledge of hypnosis is used to serve human welfare by enhancing the quality of life for those who have the good fortune to benefit from hypnotherapy and the related practice of hypnoanalysis. The reader is brought abreast of these developments through the arrangement of the chapters into two sections of the book, with the first four chapters explaining the basics of hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness interpreted theoretically from several points of view.
