The Everlasting Masterpieces of World Literature in One Edition unfurls an exquisite tapestry of the human experience, presenting an unparalleled collection that spans genres, cultures, and centuries. This anthology embraces the diversity of the human condition through the lenses of legendary figures whose works have shaped the contours of global literature. From the tragic depths of Dostoyevsky to the whimsical landscapes of Lewis Carroll, and the sharp social observations of Jane Austen, this compilation does more than merely traverse the literary spectrum; it celebrates the rich complexity of life itself. Highlighting texts that have become the cornerstones of cultural dialogues, such as Shakespeares plays and the philosophical musings of Plato, the collection offers an expansive narrative journey through time and thought. The contributory roster reads like a veritable who's who of literary giants. Each author, from the epic tales of Homer to the existential enquiries of Nietzsche, brings a distinct voice to the anthology, informed by their unique historical, cultural, and philosophical contexts. Their collective works, harmoniously aligned, serve not only as a testament to their individual genius but also reflect the broader literary movements and cultural shifts they inspired or navigated. This anthology thus stands not only as a compendium of individual achievements but as a vibrant mosaic of the collective human spirit, capturing the essence of various eras, from the Renaissance's rebirth to the introspective Modernists. This anthology is recommended for anyone with a passion for literature, history, or philosophy. The Everlasting Masterpieces of World Literature in One Edition transcends the ordinary, offering readers a singular opportunity to engage with the minds of those who have profoundly influenced our understanding of the world. It invites an exploration of myriad perspectives, styles, and themes, fostering a dialogue between epochs and ideas. Engaging with this collection promises not only an enrichment of knowledge but an invitation to witness the eternal dialogue of humanity expressed through the art of storytelling.

In that The Anatomy of Speech Notions (1976) was the precursor to The Grammar of Discourse (1983), this revision embodies a third "edition" of some of the material that is found here. The original intent of the 1976 volume was to construct a hierarchical arrangement of notional categories, which find surface realization in the grammatical constructions of the various languages of the world. The idea was to marshal the categories that every analyst-regardless of theoretical bent-had to take account of as cognitive entities. The volume began with a couple of chapters on what was then popularly known as "case grammar," then expanded upward and downward to include other notional categories on other levels. Chapters on dis course, monologue, and dialogue were buried in the center of the volume. In the 1983 volume, the chapters on monologue and dialogue discourse were moved to the fore of the book and the chapters on case grammar were made less prominent; the volume was then renamed The Grammar of Discourse. The current revision features more clearly than its predecessors the intersection of discourse and pragmatic concerns with grammatical structures on various levels. It retains and expands much of the former material but includes new material reflecting current advances in such topics as salience clines for discourse, rhetorical relations, paragraph structures, transitivity, ergativity, agency hierarchy, and word order typologies.

Since 2000, The Brooklyn Rail has been a platform for artists, academics, critics, poets, and writers in New York and abroad. The monthly journal’s continued appeal is due in large part to its diverse contributors, many of whom bring contrasting and often unexpected opinions to conversations about art and aesthetics. No other publication devotes as much space to the artist’s voice, allowing ideas to unfold and idiosyncrasies to emerge through open discussion. Since its inception, cofounder and artistic director Phong Bui and the Rail’s contributors have interviewed over four hundred artists for The Brooklyn Rail. This volume brings together for the first time a selection of sixty of the most influential and seminal interviews with artists ranging from Richard Serra and Brice Marden, to Alex Da Corte and House of Ladosha. While each interview is important in its own right, offering a perspective on the life and work of a specific artist, collectively they tell the story of a journal that has grown during one of the more diverse and surprising periods in visual art. There is no unified style or perspective; The Brooklyn Rail’s strength lies in its ability to include and champion difference. Selected and coedited by Jarrett Earnest, a frequent Rail contributor, with Lucas Zwirner, the book includes an introduction to the project by Phong Bui as well as many of the hand-drawn portraits he has made of those he has interviewed over the years. This combination of verbal and visual profiles offers a rare and personal insight into contemporary visual culture. Interviews with Vito Acconci, Ai Weiwei, Lynda Benglis, James Bishop, Chris Burden, Vija Celmins, Francesco Clemente, Bruce Conner, Alex Da Corte, Rosalyn Drexler, Keltie Ferris, Simone Forti, Andrea Fraser, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Suzan Frecon, Coco Fusco, Robert Gober, Leon Golub, Ron Gorchov, Michelle Grabner, Josephine Halvorson, Sheila Hicks, David Hockney, Roni Horn, House of Ladosha, Alfredo Jaar, Bill Jensen, Alex Katz, William Kentridge, Matvey Levenstein, Nalini Malani, Brice Marden, Chris Martin, Jonas Mekas, Shirin Neshat, Thomas Nozkowski, Lorraine O’Grady, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Joanna Pousette-Dart, Ernesto Pujol, Martin Puryear, Walid Raad, Dorothea Rockburne, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Robert Ryman, Dana Schutz, Richard Serra, Shahzia Sikander, Nancy Spero, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Sarah Sze, Rirkrit Tiravanija, James Turrell, Richard Tuttle, Luc Tuymans, Kara Walker, Stanley Whitney, Jack Whitten, Yan Pei-Ming, and Lisa Yuskavage Special thanks to Furthermore, a program of the J.M.
