Titles by DORIS LESSING
A
master of the use of myth, metaphor, and a good story, Doris
Lessing gives her answers to the Four Questions which contain
the secret to Living: What am I? Where am I? What's going
on here? And What can I do? The books comprising Lessing's
Canopus in Argos, Archives sci-fi or space fiction series
contain, in my opinion, the best teaching novels of our time.
Serious students of Life will find many answers within.
(Please
note: The books in the Canopus series are out of print and we sell
new and used copies
in excellent condition, almost as new,
dust jackets sometimes show a little wear, but books are almost as new. Committed
to keeping them in circulation, HW Inc. will buy them back
from you providing they are in the same condition. E-mail
for details.)

Shikasta by DORIS LESSING
Shikasta
means the broken one and is the name of what is obviously
Planet Earth, but can also be seen as each of us. The Necessity
governs Shikasta and is the true purpose of living. Canopus,
the Mother Planet, can be seen as the direct Source for Shikastans,
and their Essence, and Canopus is also the fully integrated
conscious being, and virtually immortal in a way. Shammat
is a demon-like sub-human race whose only purpose is to cause
misery and grow fat sucking this particular energy (fear and
greed) from the populace. Sirius is a benign part of the galaxy,
but though quite ancient and technologically advanced,
is completely
ignorant of The Necessity, and represents the student of Life.

The
Marriages Between Zones Three, Four & Five
by DORIS LESSING
A
timeless fairytale in style, unlike the other books in the
Canopus series. The Queen of Zone Five lives in a beautiful,
ideal realm, but discovers she has been asleep on the job.
Animals and crops are becoming sterile, the vitality of the
people is waning. The Necessity intervenes and the lovely
queen finds herself descended into a barbarian land where
she is to mate with its brutish king. A perfect exposition
of fiction of the journey of the student of Life; everything
is covered!

The
Making of the Representative for Planet 8
by DORIS LESSING
A
difficult book in a way because the landscape is so depressing,
the existence of its inhabitants so bleak and eventually terrifying.
But well worth the effort because by the end, the reader understands
the purpose of all trials and travails in our world,
and sees
the value of Resistance in the purpose of Life. A glorious
book.

The
Sentimental Agents in the Volyen Empire
by DORIS LESSING
The
Sentimental Agents is altogether different, and very funny, if
you can bear a big joke about political rhetoric. It’s got
plenty of Teaching in it, too.

Love,
Again by DORIS LESSING
In
this newer novel (not part of the Canopus series) a just-past-middle-age
woman is part of a company putting on a play, a tragic romance
whose ethereal heroine seems almost to have possessed the
company. Everyone is in love or in lust or both. Our heroine,
Sarah, had forgotten what it felt like to be in love and in
lust and is amazed both at herself and at the mirrors all
around her, each reflection different and yet each the same.
Lessing shows that what passed for love in the world is
really grief, or an imperfect antidote for grief. Separation
and union are, in reality, something within, reflected all
around us.
