Synopsis

 "Storyteller." That's the name the young boy gave his great uncle, the writer of this book. Set in North Alabama in the forties and fifties, these mostly-true stories move in the spirit of Samuel L. Clemens while staying family-friendly. The narrator reflects anecdotally the effect of the War, culture and small-town living on a youth with a curiosity about all things. Folklore, tradition, phobias, and the supernatural serve as a canvas on which he paints the life of the youth of his hometown in the hometown of his youth. "Tales From My First Childhood," by Floyd Fowler hopes to touch you in some very special and memoriable way. Thanks for reading.

    An illuminating and witty dialogue with one of the greatest intellectual figures of the twentieth century. Ramin Jahanbegloo's interview with Isaiah Berlin grew into a series of five conversations which offer an intimate view of Berlin and his ideas. They include discussions on pluralism and liberty as well as the thinkers and writers who influenced Berlin. This revised edition provided an excellent introduction to Berlin's thought. Ramin Jahanbegloo is an Iranian philosopher, who has taught in Europe and North America. In 2006 he was imprisoned for several months in Iran. He is currently teaching Political Philosophy at Toronto University. 'Though like Our Lord and Socrates he does not publish much, he thinks and says a great deal and has had an enormous influence on our times'. Maurice Bowra 'Berlin never talks down to the interviewer. Conversations here means the minds of the interviewed and interviewer meet on equal terms in language that is transparently clear, informed, witty and entertaining'. Stephen Spender 'He is wise without seeming pompous, witty without seeming trivial, affectionate without seeming sentimental'. Michael Ignatieff 'Isaiah Berlin... has for fifty years in this talkative and quarrelsome city (Oxford) been something special, admired by all and disliked by no-one... a benevolent super-don'.
