I fa ,-T I Page Six THE SALE MITE November 19, 1948 ■ I »i" ' I——— Reznick Invades Bookstore; Selects Few Choice Books by Frances Beznick Buying books at the book store is a difficult task these days, be- ' cause there are numerous subjects und new voluanes from which to dioose. Mr. Snavely’s latest stock includes new novels, books of humor, music, short stories and some won derful books to give to children. Irwin Shaw’s Young Lions is still on the best seller list after months of popularity. It is a novel about the destinies of three soldiers, two of them Americans and one German, in the war years since 1938. A timely theme, it develops into a good picture of Shaw’s characters and the events that influenced them. An older story than Young Lions, Dr. Faustus by Thomas Mann is also good for characterization.. Mann’s modern version of the ancient legend of Faust is the story of a great musician, Adrian Leverkuhn. We see not only Leverkuhn’s character but also that of his friend telling the story, Serenus Zeitblom. Dr. .Faustus is translated from the Ger man by the woman who does most of Mann’s interpretation, Mrs. H. T. Lowe-Porter. Poetry, too, is well represented at the book store. A well-known vol ume is the Collected Poems of T. S. Eliot, a single volume of some of Eliot’s works, before 1935. It con tains “Minor Poems’’, “Unfinished Poesms’’, “Choruses from The Bock’’, and many others. If you are looking for a different kind of excitement, though, there is a new collection of stories of the supernatural that comes complete with goose pimples and straight hair. It is called Out of the Silence, by Patrick Mahony. These stories are concerned with psychic pheno mena, spirits, the unbelievable. For instance, there is “The Borrowed Body’’, “Reborn to Die’’, “An Ethereal Poetess’’, or “A Vicious Necklace’’ to choose for your first story. Another new collection is Bennett Cerf’s Shake Well Before Using. Like Cerf’s former collections of im pressions, anecdotes and jokes, some are stolen, some are obviously fabri cated, some are funny and some pointless. It is good, though, if you like jokes and little incidents of the newspaper and theatre crowd, Holly wood and writers. One such inanity as the book contains is “Economist; man who has a Phi Beta Kappa key on one end of his chain -and' no watch on the other. ’ ’ The new collection would not be complete without juvenile books. This is Children’s Book Week and Salem Book Store is celebrating it with Mrs. Eondthaler’s very attrac tive book for children. Tell Me a Story. Illustrated by Elizabeth Jer ome Holder, Mrs. Rondthaler’s book contains “Historical Sketches of the Early Moravian Church’’ and “Stories of Moravian Customs’’. Many more books as interesting as these are at the book store, add ing to the dificulty of selection. Any one of them, though, will be a wel come relief if you have been buried all year in Jext books.
