Transactional Analysis delineates three observable ego-states
(Parent, Adult, and Child) as the basis for the content and quality
of interpersonal communication. "Happy childhood" notwithstanding,
says Harris, most of us are living out the Not ok feelings of a
defenseless child, dependent on ok others (parents) for stroking
and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a "position"
about ourselves and others that determines how we feel about
everything we do. And for a huge portion of the population, that
position is "I'm Not OK -- You're OK." This negative "life
position," shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike,
contaminates our rational Adult capabilities, leaving us vulnerable
to inappropriate emotional reactions of our Child and uncritically
learned behavior programmed into our Parent. By exploring the
structure of our personalities and understanding old decisions,
Harris believes we can find the freedom to change our lives.
_________________________ THE CLASSIC THRILLER BEHIND THE
OSCAR-WINNING MOVIE FBI trainee Clarice Starling has an elusive
serial killer to hunt. Only one man can help. Psychopathic cannibal
Hannibal Lecter... The serial killer nicknamed 'Buffalo Bill' has
been capturing and starving women, then murdering and skinning
them. FBI rookie Clarice Starling is assigned to solicit help from
imprisoned psychopath Dr Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter, whose
insight into the depraved minds of serial killers is second to
none. But in exchange for inviting her into the darkest chambers of
his mind, Hannibal begins to probe at hers, demanding knowledge of
her childhood demons as the price of understanding Buffalo Bill's.
Clarice knows how dangerous this man is, and the terrible things he
can do with this information. But women are still disappearing, and
time is running out...
_________________________ THE LEGENDARY THRILLER THAT CREATED DR
HANNIBAL LECTER Will Graham was a brilliant profiler of criminals
for the FBI - until he suffered terrible injuries in the process of
capturing Dr Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter. Years later, a serial
killer nicknamed 'the Tooth Fairy' is massacring entire families
each full moon. With the FBI desperate for progress, Will
reluctantly agrees to consult. But he soon realises that he alone
can't crack the case; he needs the help of the only mind even
better than his own at understanding the mentalities of
psychopaths. The mind of Hannibal Lecter. But Hannibal is playing
his own twisted game from the asylum for the criminally insane.
Will isn't alone in getting advice from the cannibal. So is the
Tooth Fairy - the man haunted by visions of the murderous Red
Dragon...
_________________________ HANNIBAL LECTER WASN'T BORN A MONSTER. HE
WAS MADE ONE. Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the
Eastern Front of World War II, a boy in the snow, mute, with a
chain around his neck. He will not speak of what happened to him
and his family. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his
demons with him. Hannibal's uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a
Soviet orphanage and brings him to France. There, Hannibal lives
with his uncle and his uncle's beautiful and exotic wife, Lady
Murasaki, who helps him to heal - and flourish. But Hannibal's
demons are not so easily defeated. Throughout his young life, they
visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in
turn - and in the fog of traumatic memory, he discovers that he has
gifts far beyond what he imagined...

You remember Hannibal Lecter: gentleman, genius, cannibal. Seven years have passed since Dr. Lecter escaped from custody. And for seven years he's been at large, free to savor the scents, the essences, of an unguarded world.
But intruders have entered Dr. Lecter's world, piercing his new identity, sensing the evil that surrounds him. For the multimillionaire Hannibal left maimed, for a corrupt Italian policeman, and for FBI agent Clarice Starling, who once stood before Lecter and who has never been the same, the final hunt for Hannibal Lecter has begun. All of them, in their separate ways, want to find Dr. Lecter. And all three will get their wish. But only one will live long enough to savor the reward....
_________________________ HANNIBAL LECTER HAS BEEN ON THE RUN FOR
SEVEN YEARS. And seven years after he helped FBI Special Agent
Clarice Starling bring down Buffalo Bill, her career is collapsing
after a disastrous drug bust. Meanwhile, seven years after
violently escaping from custody, Hannibal Lecter is hunted by Mason
Verger, a psychopathic former client obsessed with feeding him to
wild boars. With the one-time partners at a low ebb, Hannibal is
the one to reach out to Clarice, who has been plagued by dreams of
his rasping voice. It has been seven years since they both came to
realise they shared more than they expected. Seven years since
their last meeting. Seven years to lay plans for the next one...

The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the #1" New York Times"
bestselling classic, now with a note by author Thomas Harris
revealing his inspiration for Hannibal Lecter. A serial murderer
known only by a grotesquely apt nickname--Buffalo Bill--is stalking
particular women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for
the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a
young trainee at the F.B.I. Academy, is surprised to be summoned by
Jack Crawford, Chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section.
Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant
psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the
Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Lecter's
insight into the minds of murderers could help track and capture
Buffalo Bill. Smart and attractive, Starling is shaken to find
herself in a strange, intense relationship with the acutely
perceptive Lecter. His cryptic clues--about Buffalo Bill and about
"her"--launch Clarice on a search that every reader will find
startling, harrowing, and totally compelling. An ingenious,
masterfully written novel, "The Silence of the Lambs" is a classic
of suspense and storytelling.
HE IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING CHARACTERS
IN ALL OF LITERATURE.
AT LAST THE EVOLUTION OF HIS EVIL
IS REVEALED.
Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a
boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck.
He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him.
Hannibal's uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage
and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle
and his uncle's beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki.
Lady Murasaki helps Hannibal to heal. With her help he flourishes,
becoming the youngest person ever admitted to medical school in
France.
But Hannibal's demons visit him and torment him. When he is old
enough, he visits them in turn.
He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that
epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death's prodigy.
