In 1951, Jacques Barzun, W. H. Auden, and Lionel Trilling joined together to form the editorial board of the Readers’ Subscription Book Club. Thus began a venture unique in the annals of American culture. Never before or since have three such eminent intellectuals collaborated to bring books to the attention of the general public. Now, a half century later, A Company of Readers tells the story of this extraordinary partnership and presents for the first time a selection of essays from the publications of the Readers’ Subscription Book Club and its successor, the Mid-Century Bo

A vivid account of Phyllis Krystal’s encounters with Sai Baba over a period of ten years. This is a teaching story that shares some of the personal development and growth that Krystal experienced, plus some of the very everyday things you wonder about when visiting India for the first time. What do you wear? How do you make sure you don’t lose your sari? How do you handle the seperation between men and women or the living quarters at the ashram? When Sai Baba looks through you, and sees you, and knows your problems, how do you deal with it? This is a very helpful bok; it presents a
