Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811—1896) was an American abolitionist and a writer. She is best known for her novel "Uncle Tom`s Cabin", which depicts the harsh conditions for enslaved African Americans. Following its remarkable success, the author made three tours to England and Europe, which inspired the two volume set, "Sunny Memories in Foreign Lands". Both volumes are a series of letters, some written on the spot — some after the author`s return home — of impressions as they arose, of her most agreeable visits to England, France, Switzerland, Germany, and Belgium during the first half of the nineteenth century.

A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment, `Black` and `White`, as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history mining the origins of two diametrically opposing world views, they begin a dialectic redolent of the best of Beckett. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is to deny it. Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life. Deft, spare, and...

She knows that she`s to be his dinner, and that when he is finished with her, she will be dead. Yet, when light breaks, she finds that he has not attempted to harm her. And now it is he who needs her to help him survive the
