Henry Morton Robinson Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of Finnegans Wake — James Joyce's masterwork that consumed a third of his life — have given up after a few pages and dismissed it as a "perverse triumph of the unintelligible." In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first "key" or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of Finnegans Wake. The authors break down Joyce's "unintelligible" book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. A Skeleton Key was Campbell's first book, published five years before he wrote his breakthrough Hero with a Thousand Faces.

THE GREAT SNOW, the story of a man and his family struggling to survive in a time of crisis, had its origin in a wild, week-long blizzard that paralyzed northern New York a few winters ago. Power lines went down, food and fuel became scarce, and the very roof of society threatened to collapse under the pressure of falling snow.

Kardinál je príbeh, ktorý zachytáva vzostup amerického pracujúceho muža k postu kardinála katolíckej cirkvi. Sleduje každodenné skúšky a triumfy Stephena Fermoylea, ktorý pochádza z robotníckych predmestí Bostonu. Jeho cesta začína ako farár, pokračuje ako tajomník kardinála, neskôr sa stáva biskupom a nakoniec nositeľom Červeného klobúka. Dielo, ktoré je základným kameňom americkej fikcie, nadobúda novú relevantnosť s vysviackou Timothyho Dolana z New Yorku za kardinála.
