The Eye You See With - the first and only collection of Robert Stone’s nonfiction - was carefully selected by award-winning novelist and Stone biographer Madison Smartt Bell. Divided into three sections, the collection includes the best of Stone’s war reporting, his writing on social change, and his reflections on the art of fiction. This is an extraordinary volume that offers up a clear-eyed look at the twentieth century and secures Robert Stone’s place as one of the most original figures in all of American letters.

Antoine Lavoisier reinvented chemistry, overthrowing the long-established principles of alchemy and inventing an entirely new terminology, one still in use by chemists. Madison Smartt Bell’s enthralling narrative reads like a race to the finish line, as the very circumstances that enabled Lavoisier to secure his reputation as the father of modern chemistry—a considerable fortune and social connections with the likes of Benjamin Franklin—also caused his glory to be cut short by the French Revolution.

Madison Smartt Bell is one of the most versatile and gifted authors of his generation, a literary stylist with few peers. Doctor Sleep, one of his best novels, is a taut and satisfying psychological thriller planned to be released as a major motion picture under the title Hypnotic. Adrian Strother is a hypnotherapist who, paradoxically, can't get to sleep. He plies his trade in a depressed section of London, doing the occasional job for Scotland Yard, which brings him into contact with an unsavory drug trafficker. As little girls become the target of a serial killer, Adrian treads the line between tortured wakefulness and surreal sleep, and the gifts of his insomnia are called upon to unlock the secrets of a man who believes he has discovered the key to immortality. Part spiritual pilgrimage, part thriller, Doctor Sleep is witty, menacing, and deeply satisfying, a bravura performance by one of today's finest writers.

Antoine Lavoisier levde vid upplysningens kulmen och tävlade mot sin tids skarpaste hjärnor för att bli den förste att förklara hur kemiska processer verkligen går till. Med hjälp av en stor förmögenhet och en bildad hustru utnyttjade han samtidens sinnrikaste och mest påkostade teknik i en rad nydanande experiment, som för alltid begravde den medeltida alkemin och etablerade ett kemiskt språk som används än i dag. En lärd och lättläst framställning av 1700-talets stora kapplöpning för att förstå grundämnena och grunda en modern vetenskap. Boken är populärvetenskapligt skriven och förutsätter ej kunskaper i kemi.
