    Dave Hirsh falder i søvn på en bus i Chicago og vågner først af sin brandert, da bussen stopper i hans fødeby, Parkman i Illinois. Dave har ikke sat fod i Parkman, siden hans storebror Frank for 16 år siden sendte ham på kostskole. I mellemtiden er Frank blevet en respekteret forretningsmand i det lille samfund, og hans oprørske lillebrors pludselige tilstedeværelse truer hans position og gode omdømme. "De rodløse" er en moderne klassiker, der foregår i de fire år mellem 2. verdenskrig og Koreakrigen. Efterhånden som romanen skrider frem, står dens centrale tema klart. Det angår illusion – det gabende svælg imellem hvad mennesket tror, det gør, og hvad det i virkeligheden gør, imellem ét menneskes opfattelse af virkeligheden og et andets. James Jones skildrer med sjælden klarhed, styrke og dristighed gennemsnitsamerikanerens tilværelse, tanker og tilbøjeligheder.

    På De caribiske øer lever en gruppe stenrige mennesker i sus og dus fuldstændig afskåret fra virkelighedens verden. Men bag de champagneduggede øjne og hollywoodsmilene gemmer der sig depraverede, ulykkelige sjæle, hvis overfladiske liv er præget af konflikter, skuffelser og en evig kamp for at holde fortidens stemmer stumme. Handlingen fokuserer på en verdensberømt forfatter og hans unge kæreste, hvis forhold er lige så lidenskabeligt, som det er ustabilt og destruktivt. Skinsygen blander sig igen og igen, mens forholdet truer med at ødelægge dem begge.

    Den reglementerede .45 kaliber automatpistol var overladt til menig Mast til vagttjeneste, men i det almindelige kaos efter japanernes angreb på Pearl Harbor lykkes det ham at beholde den. I krigens første dage og uger, da Mast og hans kammerater forflyttes fra Schofieldkasernen til Oahus kyst og derfra igen til et afsides bjergpas, dominerer pistolen begivenhederne. Alle midler tages i brug for at berøve Mast hans våben: penge, trusler, overtalelse, tyveri, vold. Men Mast er besat af pistolen; den bliver for ham og for mændene omkring ham et symbol på sikkerhed, på personlig overlevelse i den massakre, der når som helst kan komme – et symbol for hvis besiddelse intet offer er for stort.Med samme ægte talent som i "Herfra til evigheden" og i "De rodløse", men med langt større koncentration og tæthed, tegner James Jones i "Pistolen" steder, skikkelser og begivenheder, som han har kendt dem, da han selv som menig soldat oplevede begivenhederne på Hawaii under 2. verdenskrig.James Jones (1921-1977) var en amerikansk forfatter, der er mest kendt for sine romaner om 2. verdenskrig og efterkrigstiden.

    ""An Inquiry Into The Popular Notion Of An Unoriginated, Infinite, And Eternal Prescience"" is a philosophical work published in 1828 by James Jones. The book delves into the concept of prescience, or the ability to know future events, and challenges the popular notion that prescience is an unoriginated, infinite, and eternal quality. Jones argues that the idea of an eternal prescience is flawed and contradicts the principles of causality and contingency. He suggests that prescience must have a cause and origin, and that it cannot be infinite or eternal as it is dependent on the existence of events and objects in the world. The book is divided into several chapters, each exploring a different aspect of the concept of prescience. Jones draws on various philosophical and theological sources to support his arguments, including the works of Aristotle, Aquinas, and Descartes. Overall, ""An Inquiry Into The Popular Notion Of An Unoriginated, Infinite, And Eternal Prescience"" is a thought-provoking and challenging work that invites readers to question their assumptions about the nature of prescience and its relationship to time and causality.For The Purpose Of Ascertaining Whether That Doctrine Be Supported By The Dictates Of Reason, And The Writings Of The Old And New Testaments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
