Fiction

When a renowned scientist with a solution for global warming is kidnapped at sea, FBI Special Agent Tara Shores must unravel a high-tech trail of S.O.S. messages encoded into the DNA of living cells. As each decoded message brings Tara nearer to the missing genius, it also takes her farther from help than she ever thought possible.

In the late fifteenth century, a young Dominican friar sets out on a journey from Paris to Florence in search of manuscripts of pre-Christian philosophy. Along the way, he encounters an ascetic alchemist in a small village. As the young man falls under the spell of the alchemist’s quest for enlightenment, a series of disasters—culminating in a total solar eclipse—strikes the village, with profound consequences.

Keiichiro Hirano’s Eclipse was a meteoric literary sensation when it first appeared in 1998. Its author, still an undergraduate, was hailed as a prodigy; the book received Japan’s most prestigious literary award, the Akutagawa Prize, and became a bestseller. Set on the eve of the Renaissance in Europe, Eclipse depicts a society that is on the surface vastly different from modern-day Japan. Yet its account of a challenge to dualistic binaries and ossified worldviews holds striking contemporary resonance and philosophical depth. Taking the form of a memoir, Eclipse brings together an evocative portrayal of its historical setting, including the lore of medieval alchemy, with a rich literary lexicon, lush imagery, and psychological intricacy. This vivid translation offers Anglophone readers a vital work by one of Japan’s most distinctive voices.

Follow the classic supernatural tale of forbidden love between a devout priest and a beautiful vampiress in The Dead Woman in Love.

At sixty-six years of age, an elderly priest is finally ready to tell the story of his first and only love. Over forty years ago, on the day of his Ordination, Lord Romulad lays eyes on a creature that shines brighter than the stars in heaven. With an almost hypnotic radiance, the young madonna's beauty almost convinces Romulad to abandon his religious duty but, ignoring his lustful feelings, he completes his ceremony to become a priest and is left knowing only her name, Clarimonde.

Unable to forget her, Romulad quickly becomes dissatisfied with his newfound priesthood, gaining the attention of Father Serapion who delivers a warning: the woman he seeks is not only dead, but has died many times–her tomb a place of filth and debachuary. However, undeterred by these rumors, Romulad follows a mysterious stranger to the castle of Clarimonde and thus begins the love affair that would change his life forever.

Tessa is struggling to run her mother's beloved bookstore and the business is failing. At least she has her friend, and accidental heartthrob, Manny to support her. As single parents they understand each other, and their friendship is too important for Tessa to give in to the chemistry brewing between them.

With the sudden success of his home renovation show, Manny is shocked to discover just how much the internet knows about him. While he navigates his new and strange life, his feelings only grow for Tessa as he helps build a new coffee bar for the bookstore.

But when Tessa's soon-to-be ex-husband returns to Ivy Falls, she must make a choice: should she follow her heart, or does she owe it to her girls to fix their family?

A brilliant and darkly funny story of a friendship and its unraveling, and a powerful examination on the disruptive impact of social media on our lives

Once an ambitious and promising student at an elite university in Paris, Maia is now 26, living in Milan, and stuck in a dead-end job at a cafe and a dysfunctional relationship with an older man. Until one day her life seems to change: thanks to a friend’s recommendation, and despite not knowing anything about social media, she is hired to work for Gloria, an 18-year-old influencer with millions of followers.

Slowly, Maia understands that her disdain for the world of influencers is precisely why she was chosen for the job: as an outsider, Maia can keep Gloria grounded, tethered to reality—remind her that the image she projects online is only an illusion.

As the two women weave a complex and intense relationship, however, it is Maia’s life that starts to unravel. Exposed to the tricks and hypocrisy of social media, Maia is increasingly unable to avoid confronting the lies she’s been telling herself. The closer she gets to Gloria, the more porous the boundary between their feelings and identities becomes, in a dangerous game of mirrors that threatens Maia’s very sense of self.

Sharp, wry, and absorbing, The Other Profile is a revealing exploration of the light and dark of human relationships in the digital age.

A NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BEST-SELLER

A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE

A vibrant tale of love, companionship, and renewal set against the transformations of 1960s Vienna.

“How I loved this book! Filled with truth after truth, poignantly rendered and given to us with tender open-handedness.”—Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge

Summer 1966. Robert Simon is in his early thirties and has a dream. Raised in a home for war orphans, Robert has nonetheless grown into a warm-hearted, hard-working, and determined man. When the former owners of the corner café in the Carmelite market square shutter the business, Robert sees that the chance to realize his dream has arrived.

The place, dark and dilapidated, is in a poor neighborhood of the Austrian capital, but for some time now a new wind has been blowing, and the air is filled with an inexplicable energy and a desire for renewal. In the newspapers with which fishmongers wrap the char and trout from the Danube, one can read about great things to come, a bright future beginning to rise from the quagmire of the past. Enlivened by these promises, Robert refurbishes the café and, rewarding him for his efforts and search of a congenial place to gather, talk, read, or just sit and be, customers arrive, bringing their stories of passions, friendships, abandonments, and bereavements. Some are in search of company, others long for love, or just a place where they can feel understood. As the city is transformed, Robert’s café becomes at once a place of refuge and one from which to observe, mourn, and rejoice.

Combining the enchantment of warm prose with tender humor, Robert Seethaler has written a charming parable of human existence animated by unforgettable characters and a kaleidoscope of human stories.

★ “A gem of a novel, whimsical and bittersweet but never sentimental, with indelible characters and a powerful sense of place.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE

The English-language debut of one of the most exciting voices in contemporary Brazilian literature, The Tokyo Suite is a gripping exploration of the complexities of modern family dynamics and the tensions hiding just under the surface of ordinary lives. 

It’s a seemingly ordinary morning when Maju, a nanny, boards a bus with Cora, the young girl she’s been caring for, and disappears. The abduction, an act as impulsive as it is extreme, sets off a series of events that will force each character to confront their deepest fears and desires.

Fernanda, Cora's mother, is a successful executive who is so engulfed in her own personal crisis that she initially fails to notice her daughter's disappearance. Her marriage is strained, and she finds solace in an affair, distancing herself further from her family. Meanwhile, her husband, overwhelmed by the complexities of their domestic life, remains emotionally detached. As Maju navigates the streets of São Paulo with Cora, the “white army” of nannies, a term coined by Fernanda, seems to watch her every move, heightening her sense of paranoia and urgency. 

Madalosso’s narrative delves deep into the human psyche, examining themes of maternal guilt, societal expectations, and the search for personal identity. Rich and multi-layered, The Tokyo Suite is a poignant and gripping tale that captures the essence of modern urban life and the lengths to which people will go to reclaim a sense of control and meaning in their lives. 

A mega best-seller in Sweden, with rights sold to over a dozen countries and a TV adaptation underway, Annika Norlin’s debut novel The Colony is the biggest Swedish literary phenomenon since Fredrik Backman’s A Man Called Ove.

“A disturbing, engrossing portrait of a tiny community living beyond society.”—Joumana Khatib, The New York Times Book Review

Winner of the Vi Literature Award and Swedish Radio’s Novel Prize, two of Sweden’s biggest literary awards, The Colony is a gripping portrayal of contemporary society and its alternatives.

Burnt-out from a demanding job and a bustling life in the city, Emelie has left town to spend a few days in the country. Once there, in the peaceful, verdant hills, down by the river she encounters a mysterious group of seven people, each with personal stories full of pain, alienation, and the longing to live differently. They are misfits, each in their own way, and all led by the enigmatic and charismatic Sara.

How did they end up there? Are they content with the rigid roles they’ve been assigned? And what happens when an outsider appears and is initially drawn to their alternative lifestyle but cannot help but stir things up?

A masterful blend of humor, emotion, unforgettable characters, and sharp social commentary, The Colony is a magnetic and deeply touching story about love, community, and the unfathomable power we other others and that others have over us.

★ “Norlin’s writing (as translated by Olsson) is clever and incisive, poking fun at modern society and the woodland community in equal measure... Ultimately, this is a treatise on humanity, on the things people need and the power and frailty of human connection. This is a novel that will stick with you.”—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

Set in 2018 against the backdrop of an overcrowded, fetid refugee camp on the beautiful Greek island of Samos, The Good Deed follows the stories of four women living in the camp and an American tourist who comes to Samos to escape her own dark secret.

When the tourist does a “good deed,” she triggers a crisis that brings her and the refugee women into a conflict that escalates dramatically as each character struggles for what she needs.

Written by the author of the beloved Anne of Green Gables series, The Blue Castle is L. M. Montgomery's sophomore adult novel and a classic tale of romance.

By society's standards, twenty-nine year old Valancy Stirling is an old maid. Ostracized by the community and infantilized by her family, Valancy feels complete powerless with her only means of escapism being the poetic nature books of her favorite author, John Foster, and her fantasies of a "Blue Castle." That is until the day that Valancy goes to see a doctor. While he isn't able to diagnose her at the time, she receives a letter just a few days later that rocks the foundation of her life: she has a heart ailment and it's terminal.

Oddly comforted by the news, Valancy takes the opportunity to break away from her family and live what little life she has left on her own terms. Finally pursuing her own happiness, Valancy sets out on a journey of self-discovery and begins to build a new home, make new friends, and find a lover who provides a warmth and kindness that she has never felt before.

Professionally typeset with a stunning new cover, this edition of The Blue Castle is a classic romance reimagined for modern readers.

Playful, kinetic, and devastating in turn, You Were Watching from the Sand is a collection in which Haitian men, women, and children who find their lives cleaved by the interminably strange bite back at the bizarre with their own oddities. In “belly,” a young woman abandoned by her only living relative makes a person from the mud beside her backyard creek. In “We Feel it in Punta Cana,” a domestic child servant in the Dominican Republic tours through his own lush imagination to make his material conditions more bearable. In “The Oldest Sensation is Anger,” a teenager invites a same-aged family friend into her apartment and uncovers a spate of disturbing secrets about her. Written in a mixture of high lyricism, absurdist comedy, and Haitian cultural witticisms, this is a collection whose dynamism matches that of its characters at every beat and turn.

A Professional Lola is a collection of short stories that blend literary fiction with the surreal to present the contemporary Filipino American experience and its universal themes of love, family, and identity. A family hires an actress to play their beloved grandmother at a party; a couple craving Filipino food rob a panaderya; a coven of Filipino witches cast a spell on their husbands; a Lolo transforms into a Lola. These are just a few of the stories in the collection that represent its roster of stories beautifully grounded in culture and vividly and meticulously painted to make the absurd seem mundane and the commonplace, sinister. A Professional Lola embodies the joy, mystery, humor, sadness, hunger, and family that inhabit modern-day Filipino American virtues.

Dear Edna Sloane is a funny, fast-paced epistolary novel about fame, writers, ambition, and the ups and downs of a creative life.

Edna Sloane was a promising author at the top of her game. Her debut novel was an instant classic and commercial success, vaulting her into the heady echelons of the 1980s New York City lit scene. Then she disappeared and was largely forgotten. Decades later, Seth Edwards is an aspiring writer and editor who feels he’s done all the right things to achieve literary success, but despairs that his dream will be forever out of reach. He becomes obsessed with the idea that if he can rediscover Sloane, it will make his career. His search for her leads to unexpected places and connections, and the epistolary correspondence that ensues makes up this book, a novel infused with insights and meditations about what our cultural obsession with the "next big thing" does to literature, and what it means to be a creative person in the world.

Seventeen-year-old Annika Rose and her father Wes have spent the years since the death of Annika’s mother in self-imposed social isolation on their farm on the edge of the woods. When a young woman named Tina moves into a house down the road, the result is a sudden explosion of feelings in both father and daughter and a fierce rivalry. At stake in the competition is not only their relationship, but the life of the vulnerable young woman at the center of it all.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • A NEW YORKER ESSENTIAL READ • From “one of the most acute and lasting writers of her generation” The New York Times—a ghost story set in the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, an elegiac consideration of grief, devotion (filial and romantic), and the vanishing and persistence of all things—seen and unseen.

A Best Book of the Year: The New Yorker, NPR, Vulture, Lit Hub

“Who else but Lorrie Moore could make, in razor-sharp irresistible prose, a ghost story about death buoyant with life?” —People

“Is it an allegory? Is it real? It doesn’t matter...[It’s] a novel with big questions, no answers, and it’s absolutely brilliant.” —Lit Hub

“[A] triumph of tone and, ultimately, of the imagination.” —The Guardian

Lorrie Moore’s first novel since A Gate at the Stairs—a daring, meditative exploration of love and death, passion and grief, and what it means to be haunted by the past, both by history and the human heart.

A teacher visiting his dying brother in the Bronx. A mysterious journal from the nineteenth century stolen from a boarding house. A therapy clown and an assassin, both presumed dead, but perhaps not dead at all...

With her distinctive, irresistible wordplay and singular wry humor and wisdom, Lorrie Moore has given us a magic box of longing and surprise as she writes about love and rebirth and the pull towards life. Bold, meditative, theatrical, this new novel is an inventive, poetic portrait of lovers and siblings as it questions the stories we have been told which may or may not be true.

I Am Homeless If This Is Not My Home takes us through a trap door, into a windswept, imagined journey to the tragic-comic landscape that is, unmistakably, the world of Lorrie Moore.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Francisco Cienfuegos, a young mestizo who rebels against the world of his Creole father, sees his destiny change when he joins the insurgent forces. Over the years, and thanks to his intelligence and ambition, Francisco forged alliances with key figures in Mexican history such as Santa Anna, managing to rise to brigadier general.

«Me gustaría acordarme de cada una de mis caminatas y de todas las ventanas a las que me he ido asomando en Manhattan…» Con este propósito, Antonio Muñoz Molina en primera persona, escritor y personaje a un tiempo, visita en estas páginas los rincones más personales de Nueva York. Se convierte así en observador cómplice de una realidad próxima a la ficción que configura nuestro imaginario vital y cultural. Fruto de sus prolongadas estancias a lo largo de varios años, este libro es un canto apasionado a la ciudad de contrastes por antonomasia.

Nueva York esconde tantas caras como ventanas exhibe: las de los decorados de los musicales de Broadway, las de los edificios iluminados del otro lado de Central Park, las que cayeron con las Torres Gemelas aquel 11 de septiembre, las tachadas con tablones en el reverso sombrío del Bronx o de Harlem. La ventana es el marco de una pintura de Hopper, una acuarela de Katz, la presencia ausente en una película de Hitchcock o la literatura de Cheever, el eco del jazz de Duke Ellington o John Coltrane.

Como Ardor guerrero y Sefarad, este libro participa a la vez de la novela y del relato de hechos reales: lo que predomina en él es, por una parte, la naturaleza envolvente de un estilo tan sugerente y un timbre de voz tan personal como los que han venido caracterizando al autor desde sus inicios, llevados aquí a una desplegada y soberana madurez, y, por otra parte, una actitud ética y estética ante la pesadilla y maravilla de la gran ciudad que, en la línea del Lorca de Poeta en Nueva York, construye con material verídico una alucinación y una compleja fábula moral.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"I would like to remember each of my walks and all the windows I have been looking out of in Manhattan..." With this purpose, Antonio Muñoz Molina in the first person, writer and character at the same time, visits in these pages the most personal corners of New York. He thus becomes an observer and accomplice of a reality close to fiction that shapes our vital and cultural imaginary. The result of his prolonged stays over several years, this book is a passionate hymn to the city of contrasts par excellence.

New York hides as many faces as it exhibits windows: those of the sets of Broadway musicals, those of the illuminated buildings on the other side of Central Park, those that fell with the Twin Towers on September 11, those crossed out with planks on the dark reverse of the Bronx or Harlem. The window is the frame of a painting by Hopper, a watercolor by Katz, the absent presence in a film by Hitchcock or the literature of Cheever, the echo of the jazz of Duke Ellington or John Coltrane.

Like Ardor guerrero and Sefarad, this book participates both in the novel and in the recounting of real events: what predominates in it is, on the one hand, the enveloping nature of a style as suggestive and a timbre of voice as personal as those that have been characterizing the author since his beginnings, brought here to a deployed and sovereign maturity, and, on the other hand, an ethical and aesthetic attitude towards the nightmare and wonder of the great city that, in the line of Lorca in Poet in New York, he constructs with true material a hallucination and a complex moral fable.

The narrative tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

The first of the novels of Terra Alta. And the presentation of an unforgettable character, Melchor Marín, a righteous man in a world that is not.

"Javier Cercas makes his debut in detective novels and writes a classic." Antonio Manzini
"A novel of impressive power." Christian Authier, Le Figaro
"A sumptuous novel." Guy Duplat, Lire
"A resounding success." Alexandre Fillon, Les Echos

A terrible crime shakes the peaceful region of Terra Alta: the owners of his largest company, Gráficas Adell, are found murdered after having been subjected to atrocious torture. Melchor Marín is in charge of the case, a young policeman and voracious reader who arrived from Barcelona four years ago, with a dark past on his back that has made him a legend of the force and who he believes he has buried under his happy life as the husband of the village librarian and father of a girl named Cosette. just like the daughter of Jean Valjean, the protagonist of his favorite novel: Les Misérables.

Born at the turn of the 21st century, The Storyteller, also known as Ishkwegaabawiikwe (Last Standing Woman), carries her people’s past within her memories. The White Earth Anishinaabe people have lived on the same land for over a thousand years. Among the towering white pines and rolling hills, the people of each generation are born, live out their lives, and are buried.

The arrival of European missionaries changes the community forever. Government policies begin to rob the people of their land, piece by piece. Missionaries and Indian agents work to outlaw ceremonies the Anishinaabeg have practised for centuries. Grave-robbing anthropologists dig up ancestors and whisk them away to museums as artifacts. Logging operations destroy traditional sources of food, pushing the White Earth people to the brink of starvation.

Battling addiction, violence, and corruption, each member of White Earth must find their own path of resistance as they struggle to reclaim stewardship of their land, bring their ancestors home, and stay connected to their culture and to each other.

In this highly anticipated 25th anniversary edition of her debut novel, Winona LaDuke weaves a nonlinear narrative of struggle and triumph, resistance and resilience, spanning seven generations from the 1800s to the early 2000s.

Memories. Some memories are elusive, fleeting, like a butterfly that touches down and is free until it is caught. Others are haunting. You'd rather forget them, but they won't be forgotten. And some are always there. No matter where you are, they are there, too.

In this moving story of legacy and reclamation, two young sisters are taken from their home and family. Powerless in a broken system, April and Cheryl are separated and placed in different foster homes. Despite the distance, they remain close, even as their decisions threaten to divide them emotionally, culturally, and geographically. As one sister embraces her Métis identity, the other tries to leave it behind.

Will the sisters’ bond survive as they struggle to make their way in a society that is often indifferent, hostile, and violent?

Beloved for more than 40 years, In Search of April Raintree is a timeless story that lingers long after the final page. This anniversary edition features a foreword by Governor General’s Award–winning author Katherena Vermette, and an afterword by University of Regina professor, Dr. Raven Sinclair (Ôtiskewâpit), an expert on Indigenous child welfare.

★ [Akiwenzie-Damm's] luminescent prose in this book dances "like jingle dress dancers," and is somehow still compressed to shining perfection - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

In the Anishnaabe language and worldview, stones are alive, infused with life force or spirit. Although many of the stories are about loss, under that surface they are alive, celebrating the beauty and preciousness of life.—Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm

In these 14 unique stories, Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm takes on complex and dangerous emotions, exploring the gamut of modern Anishinaabe experience. Through unforgettable characters, these stories—about love and lust, suicide and survival, illness and wholeness—illuminate the strange workings of the human heart.

Captains Wanted blends metaphysical and literary fiction to send readers on a journey of mind, body, and spiritual healing.

Inspired by personal anecdotes with indigenous ceremonial and Western therapeutic modalities that author Andres Schabelman sought after working at some of Silicon Valley’s largest tech companies, this captivating story combines elements of magical realism and literary fiction to offer an experimental take on success and self-growth.

Captains Wanted tells the story of what happens when people are willing to follow a new path, especially one they don’t logically understand. Through a collection of ceremonial anecdotes that touch upon each of the senses, readers are invited to not merely observe but actively participate in the quest for self-discovery. In the end, they are encouraged to draw their own conclusions about what has occurred and embark on a personal odyssey, where the meaning and significance unfold uniquely for each individual.

He is plainly too young and too inexperienced for the mission, but on the advice of her aged adviser Natoum, and with her husband off at war, the Queen reluctantly assigns the task of delivery to…

Madrenga.

Accompanied only by a runt of a pony and a scrap of a pup, he sets off to transport the royal message to its destination. No matter what it might take.

But things are not always what they seem. Heroes are sometimes made of the strangest stuff, and love is to be found in the most unexpected places.

If one doesn’t die while treading the lethal path…

The undead walk. Vicious, relentless, and never tiring.

Hungry.

And the dead have their stories.

Bram Stoker Award-winner Jonathan Maberry is a master of the zombie tale. Empty Graves: Tales of the Living Dead is emotionally charged and disturbing. These stories range across the genres of horror, science fiction, and biological thriller without ever straying from the fascinating humanity at the core.

Together in a single action-packed collection, these 15 gritty tales of the living dead span Maberry's career, including an exclusive never-before-published short story.

Renata, however, believes she doesn’t belong and is unworthy of Derryk’s love. She tries to be a perfect wife, ultimately exhausting herself.

A remarkable novel by one of Tibet’s foremost authors, The Red Wind Howls is a courageous and gripping portrayal of Tibetan suffering under Mao’s regime. The story delves deep into forbidden history, spanning the famine of the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and, most taboo of all, the 1958 Amdo rebellion when Tibetans rose in armed revolt against the Chinese state. Tsering Döndrup self-published the book in 2006, because no publisher would risk accepting it. When the authorities caught wind, all copies were confiscated and the author faced severe reprisals. He lost his job as head of the local archives, his passport was confiscated, and he has been under close surveillance ever since.

This powerful novel is set in part in the punitive labor camps to which Tibetans were sent after the failed rebellion, where many perished from starvation or forced labor. Inside and outside the camps, it depicts with dark humor a world of informers, cruelty, and score settling, against the backdrop of immeasurable environmental devastation and the destruction of traditional Tibetan ways of life. The novel draws on extensive interviews conducted by the author, and the rhythms of oral storytelling are reflected in its fragmented narrative style, which jumps back and forth between periods and events. An unparalleled account of the Chinese Communist Party’s takeover of Tibet, The Red Wind Howls is both a richly imaginative work of fiction and a vital piece of historical testimony.

First published in 1851, Henry Murger’sScènes de la vie de bohèmebrought together the stories he had written for a small arts newspaper in Paris. These semi-fictionalized tales, drawn from the daily lives of Murger and his friends, portray the struggles and celebrations, the loves and losses, of young writers and artists as they eked out an existence on the impoverished margins of society. While the nineteenth-century Parisian setting is fascinating in itself, the stories have retained their contemporary relevance as the continuing popularity of Puccini’s opera adaptation (La Bohème) and the Broadway success of Jonathan Larson’s Rent—both based on Murger’s stories—have demonstrated. 

Life in bohemia continues to attract young people in great numbers, just as it has done for almost two centuries, and it is Murger’s bohemia, with all its energy and eccentricities, that underlies that appeal. Balancing humor and despair, and optimism and desperation, Murger’s characters, much like today’s bohemians, manage to confound landlords and bill collectors, endure cold and hunger, find love and lose it, party without restraint and confront the devastating deaths of friends and lovers. 

With this new translation, readers can once again encounter the point of origin for the bohemian cultures that have flourished ever since, not only the source for Puccini’s and Larson’s phenomenally popular musical works as well as for numerous films and songs over many decades but also a classic work of literature that will re-introduce English readers to Rodolphe and Mimi, Marcel and Musette, Schaunard and Colline, after too long an absence.

A través de una fábula, Orwell expone de forma magistral los horrores de los regímenes totalitarios.

Uno de los alegatos más potentes contra el totalitarismo de cualquier especie.

Cansados de sufrir abusos, los animales de la granja de los Jones deciden rebelarse contra sus amos. Tras echar al propietario, establecen un nuevo orden basado en la igualdad. Sin embargo, pronto surge entre ellos una nueva clase de burócratas, los cerdos, que, con astucia, codicia y prepotencia se imponen sobre el resto de animales.

Concebida como una sátira mordaz del estalinismo, el carácter universal de su mensaje convierte esta novela en un extraordinario análisis de la corrupción que engendra el poder, una furibunda diatriba contra los totalitarismos y un lúcido examen de las manipulaciones que sufre la verdad histórica en los momentos de transformación política.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Through a fable, Orwell masterfully exposes the horrors of totalitarian regimes.

One of the most powerful arguments against totalitarianism of any kind.

Tired of being abused, the animals on the Jones' farm decide to rebel against their masters. After the owner is kicked out, they establish a new order based on equality. However, a new class of bureaucrats soon emerges among them, the pigs, who, with cunning, greed and arrogance, impose themselves on the rest of the animals.

Conceived as a scathing satire of Stalinism, the universal nature of its message makes this novel an extraordinary analysis of the corruption that power engenders, a furious diatribe against totalitarianism, and a lucid examination of the manipulations that historical truth undergoes in moments of political transformation.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BLAKE LIVELY.

In this “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it”. Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can’t stop thinking about her first love.

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down”.USA Today.

(Large print edition)

In rural Tennessee, two young people struggle to make a life in a town rife with poverty, guns, and alcohol.

"Holding On To Nothing is a resonant song of the South, all whiskey, bluegrass, Dolly Parton, tobacco fields, and women who know better but still fall for the lowdown men whom they know will disappoint them."—Lauren Groff, National Book Award finalist author of Fates and Furies and Florida

Lucy Kilgore has her bags packed for her escape from her rural Tennessee upbringing, but a drunken mistake forever tethers her to the town and one of its least-admired residents, Jeptha Taylor, who becomes the father of her child. Together, these two young people work to form a family, though neither has any idea how to accomplish that, and the odds are against them in a place with little to offer other than bluegrass music, tobacco fields, and a Walmart full of beer and firearms for the hunting season. Their path is harrowing, but Lucy and Jeptha are characters to love, and readers will root for their success in a novel so riveting that no one will want to turn out the light until they know whether this family will survive.

This new paperback edition features a readers' guide in the back of the book with questions for discussion and an interview with the author.

Trailblazing author, Marianne K. Martin asks, “How much are you willing to sacrifice to protect your students and the woman you love?” in this powerful and timely novel.

Johanna Beals decided sixteen years ago to sacrifice everything to raise her daughter Kayla as a single mother. She knew it was the right decision even when it led to lonely nights and broken relationships, and even when adolescent secrets challenged their mother/daughter bond. But the decision to go it alone seems easy compared to the one she is about to face.

Secrets and bouts of teenage angst don’t only challenge parents. English teacher, Miya James, has dealt with her fair share of them over the years. But Kayla Beals seems to be whispering to the wind, an act that stirs uncomfortable memories of Miya’s fractured childhood. As the school year progresses, she finds she wasn’t prepared for this student, for her mother, or for the sparks that add fuel to the teeming atmosphere of unrest, bullying, and homophobia that leaves her school district grappling with life-changing decisions for everyone involved.

Pero cuanto más se conocen y más tiempo pasa Casey observándolos, queda claro que el matrimonio no es tan armonioso y perfecto como parece.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

They were the perfect couple... Until she disappeared

Casey Fletcher, a celebrated actress who just lost her husband in a tragic accident, tries to escape her grief and a streak of bad reviews when she decides to take refuge in her family's lakeside home in Vermont. Equipped with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of liquor, she spends her time observing Tom and Katherine Royce, the attractive couple who live in the house across the lake. They seem to be the ideal marriage: Tom, a wealthy tech entrepreneur, and Katherine, a beautiful former model.

One day at the lake, Casey miraculously saves Katherine from drowning, and the two begin to strike up a friendship. But the more they get to know each other and the more time Casey spends observing them, it becomes clear that the marriage is not as harmonious and perfect as it seems. When Katherine suddenly disappears, Casey doesn't believe she's returned to Manhattan as her social media posts suggest, senses that something shady has happened, and becomes obsessed with trying to figure it out. In addition, a series of new disappearances make her suspect that something much darker exists behind it.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando.

México crecía vertiginosamente, el mundo atravesaba un momento angustioso, la Ciudad de México se convertía en una metrópoli moderna, todo parecía al alcance de la mano, el aire tenía un aroma a novedad. La vida era una aventura, los niños jugaban a la guerra en Oriente Próximo: batallas en el desieron que se decidían en patios terregosos. Fue la época en que Carlos soñaba y recorría las calles de la colonia Roma con impaciencia propia de su edad. Aunque el mundo giraba presuroso, nada fue tan determinante para él cono el día en que conoció a la madre de su mejor amigo y en ella descubrió los resquemores que acompañan al primer amor y ponen fin a la infancia. 

Obra atemporal de la literatura mexicana y universal, José Emilio Pacheco recrea una época -la de un país que perdía su inocencia- y rescata ese momento en que nos despedimos de la niñez para arrojarnos al lacerante desafío que es crecer.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An invaluable legacy that invites us to continue reading, writing and dreaming.

Mexico was growing vertiginously, the world was going through a distressing moment, Mexico City was becoming a modern metropolis, everything seemed within reach, the air had a smell of novelty. Life was an adventure, children played war in the Middle East: battles in the Middle East, fought in earthy courtyards. It was the time when Carlos dreamed and walked the streets of the Roma neighborhood with impatience typical of his age. Although the world was spinning quickly, nothing was as decisive for him as the day he met his best friend's mother and in her he discovered the resentments that accompany first love and put an end to childhood. 

A timeless work of Mexican and universal literature, José Emilio Pacheco recreates an era – that of a country that was losing its innocence – and rescues that moment when we said goodbye to childhood to throw ourselves into the lacerating challenge that is growing up.

Un legado invaluable que nos invita a seguir leyendo, escribiendo y soñando.

En la pieza que da título a este volumen (premio Xavier Villaurrutia), Jorge, un muchacho que no entiende por qué la vida es como es, crece en una sociedad de doble moral cuyas contradicciones se acentúan a medida que lo consume el amor por una joven mayor que él. A esta novela corta siguen los cuentos «La zarpa», donde una mujer confiesa a un sacerdote las decisiones que tomó en el pasado; «La fiesta brava», que narra la vida de un infravalorado escritor que recibe una última oportunidad; «Langerhaus», en el que el misterio persigue a un difunto que nadie parece recordar; «Tenga para que se entretenga», donde el mismo lector debe atar cabos para resolver el caso de un niño desaparecido y, finalmente, «Cuando salí de La Habana, válgame Dios», en el cual un nervioso agente de ventas se enamora en un viaje en altamar. 

Este libro inclasificable deambula por la fantasía, la literatura policiaca, la novela de crecimiento, el realismo y el simbolismo, y al hacerlo, nos confirma por qué la obra de José Emilio Pacheco es universal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An invaluable legacy that invites us to continue reading, writing and dreaming.

In the title piece of this volume (Xavier Villaurrutia Prize), Jorge, a boy who does not understand why life is the way it is, grows up in a society of double standards whose contradictions are accentuated as he is consumed by love for a young woman older than him. This short novel is followed by the stories "La zarpa", where a woman confesses to a priest the decisions she made in the past; "La fiesta brava" (Bullfighting), which narrates the life of an underrated writer who receives one last chance; "Langerhaus", in which mystery haunts a deceased person that no one seems to remember; «Tenga para que se entretenga» (Have to Keep You Entertained), where the same reader must connect the dots to solve the case of a missing child and, finally, «Cuando salí de La Habana, válgame Dios» (When I left Havana, God Bless Me), in which a nervous sales agent falls in love on a trip on the high seas.

This unclassifiable book wanders through fantasy, detective literature, the coming-of-age novel, realism and symbolism, and in doing so, confirms why José Emilio Pacheco's work is universal.

Una bella actriz. Un lord déspota.

¿Un divorcio que acaba en asesinato?

Hércules Poirot y su fiel amigo, el capitán Hastings, reciben un encargo inusual de una bella actriz, Jane Wilkinson. Casada con el déspota aristócrata inglés lord Edgware, éste se niega a concederle el divorcio, de ahí que requiera la ayuda del célebre investigador belga. Sin embargo, para sorpresa de Poirot, el aristócrata afirma que hace ya tiempo envió una carta a su esposa aceptando su demanda.

La alegría de la actriz al conocer la noticia es inmensa, pero lo que parecía un asunto resuelto se complica de forma inesperada: lord Edgware aparece apuñalado en su mansión, y la secretaria y el mayordomo del noble asesinado afirman que la mujer vestida de negro que solicitó ver a lord Edgware la noche de su muerte no era otra que su esposa, Jane Wilkinson.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A beautiful actress. A despotic lord.

A divorce that ends in murder?

Hercule Poirot and his faithful friend, Captain Hastings, receive an unusual commission from a beautiful actress, Jane Wilkinson. Married to the English aristocratic despot Lord Edgware, he refuses to grant her a divorce, which is why she requires the help of the famous Belgian researcher. However, to Poirot's surprise, the aristocrat claims that he sent a letter to his wife some time ago accepting his demand. 

The actress's joy at hearing the news is immense, but what seemed to be a settled matter is unexpectedly complicated: Lord Edgware is found stabbed in his mansion, and the secretary and butler of the murdered nobleman claim that the woman dressed in black who requested to see Lord Edgware on the night of his death was none other than his wife, Jane Wilkinson.

Siete intensas historias sobre el desamor y la compleja relación entre hombres y mujeres.

Haruki Murakami ofrece a los lectores siete relatos —entre ellos el que nspiró la película ganadora en Cannes 2021, en los Globos de Oro y nominada al Óscar, Drive my car— sobre la soledad que precede o sigue a la relación amorosa. Hombres que han perdido a una mujer, o cuya relación ha estado marcada por el desencuentro, asisten inermes al regreso de los fantasmas del pasado y son incapaces de establecer una comunicación plena con la pareja o ven extrañamente interrumpida su historia de amor. Otros experimentan atormentados amores no correspondidos o, incluso, como en el relato protagonizado por una metamorfosis kafkiana, desconocen todavía los mecanismos del afecto y del sexo.

Sin embargo, las verdaderas protagonistas de estas historias son ellas, las mujeres que, misteriosas, irrumpen en la vida de los hombres para luego desaparecer. 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Seven intense stories about heartbreak and the complex relationship between men and women.

Haruki Murakami offers readers seven stories – including the one that inspired the winning film at Cannes 2021, at the Golden Globes and nominated for an Oscar, Drive my car – about the loneliness that precedes or follows the love relationship. Men who have lost a woman, or whose relationship has been marked by disagreement, witness the return of the ghosts of the past helplessly and are unable to establish full communication with their partner or see their love story strangely interrupted. Others experience tormented unrequited love or, even, as in the story starring a Kafkaesque metamorphosis, they are still unaware of the mechanisms of affection and sex.

However, the real protagonists of these stories are them, the women who, mysteriously, burst into men's lives and then disappear.

Es una invitación a adentrarnos en una prosa aguda y corruscante, que tomándonos en broma nos cuestiona de manera profunda y radical.

La obra de Juan José Arreola (Jalisco, 1918- 2001) es un despliegue notable de temas y estilos; del cuento fantástico a la fábula de animales, de lo mágico a lo fantasmagórico, del amor idealizado a las más hermosas metáforas del dolor y de la muerte, los relatos reunidos en este Confabulario recorren ese espacio de ingenuidad y sapiencia que constituye el núcleo de su obra.

Una obra cuyos orígenes se remontan a las literaturas clásicas y en la que el lector –como resaltó un crítico– descubrirá a un narrador de poderosa y sorprendente imaginación, a un orfebre de las palabras y a un mago con los poderes de la imaginación.

“Soy autodidacto, es cierto. Pero a los doce años y en Zapotlán el Grande leí a Baudelaire, a Walt Whitman y a los principales fundadores de mi estilo: Papini y Marcel Schwob… Y oía canciones y los dichos populares y me gustaba mucho la conversación”, escribió el propio Arreola, una de las mayores voces, junto a Juan Rulfo, de la literatura mexicana contemporánea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

It is an invitation to delve into a sharp and coruscant prose, which, taking us as a joke, questions us in a profound and radical way.

The work of Juan José Arreola (Jalisco, 1918-2001) is a remarkable display of themes and styles; from the fantastic tale to the fable of animals, from the magical to the phantasmagoric, from idealized love to the most beautiful metaphors of pain and death, the stories gathered in this Confabulario travel through that space of naivety and wisdom that constitutes the core of his work.

A work whose origins go back to classical literatures and in which the reader – as one critic pointed out – will discover a narrator of powerful and surprising imagination, a goldsmith of words and a magician with the powers of imagination.

"I'm self-taught, it's true. But at the age of twelve and in Zapotlán el Grande I read Baudelaire, Walt Whitman and the main founders of my style: Papini and Marcel Schwob... And I listened to songs and popular sayings and I liked the conversation very much," wrote Arreola himself, one of the greatest voices, along with Juan Rulfo, of contemporary Mexican literature.

Un secreto puede afectar al futuro de España.

En esta obra, Muñoz Molina vuelve a un tiempo gris y cansado de la historia española como fueron los años finales de la dictadura franquista. En un Madrid desdibujado y sórdido los protagonistas de este espléndido relato se ven atrapados por la maquinaria de una conjura para cambiar el destino político de España.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A secret can affect the future of Spain.

In this work, Muñoz Molina returns to a gray and tired time in Spanish history such as the final years of the Franco dictatorship. In a blurred and sordid Madrid, the protagonists of this splendid story are trapped by the machinery of a conspiracy to change the political destiny of Spain.

1986. La ciudad bajo toque de queda. Los casetes suenan. Un chico busca a otro. ¿Es el momento indicado?

Tomás Mena cuenta los minutos para entrar a la universidad e inaugurar una nueva etapa de su vida: la familia, el barrio y la dictadura, que oprime y ahoga, no dan para más. No quiere seguir sintiéndose incompleto y tiene ansias de experimentarlo todo, de comerse el mundo que se abre ante sus ojos, de ser distinto. Al otro lado de la ciudad, Clemente Fabres espera terminar cuarto año de Periodismo para tomar sus cosas y volver a Inglaterra, donde él cree que pertenece. Santiago de Chile le parece aburrido, asfixiante y gris. Lo único que lo mantiene a salvo es escribir un fanzine de música, películas y libros, que distribuye gratuitamente y que lo llevará a encontrarse con Tomás en disquerías, cines y fiestas under. Mientras la atmósfera del país se vuelve sofocante, ellos luchan, con el rabioso ímpetu de la juventud, por iluminar esos años oscuros.

Caleidoscópica e irreverente, a la vez que tierna y emotiva, incluso política, Ciertos chicos reafirma la maestría de Alberto Fuguet para construir novelas generacionales. Una hermosa y peligrosa historia de amor que funciona como homenaje a la escena contracultural de los años ochenta.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

1986. The city under curfew. The cassettes are playing. One boy looks for another. Is the time right?

Tomás Mena is counting down the minutes to enter the university and inaugurate a new stage of his life: the family, the neighborhood and the dictatorship, which oppresses and suffocates, cannot take it anymore. He does not want to continue feeling incomplete and is eager to experience everything, to take on the world that opens up before his eyes, to be different. On the other side of town, Clemente Fabres hopes to finish his fourth year of journalism to take his things and return to England, where he believes he belongs.

Santiago de Chile seems boring, suffocating and gray to him. The only thing that keeps him safe is to write a fanzine of music, movies and books, which he distributes for free and that will take him to meet Tomás in record stores, cinemas and underground parties. As the atmosphere of the country becomes suffocating, they struggle, with the rabid impetus of youth, to illuminate those dark years.

Kaleidoscopic and irreverent, at the same time tender and emotional, even political, Ciertos chicos (Certain Boys) reaffirms Alberto Fuguet's mastery of constructing generational novels. A beautiful and dangerous love story that works as a tribute to the countercultural scene of the eighties.

"Don’t underestimate this new novelist. She’s jump-starting the year with a smart romantic comedy that lures us in with laughter and keeps us hooked with a fantastically engaging story." —The Washington Post

A blazing talent debuts with the tale of a status-driven wedding planner grappling with her social ambitions, absent mother, and Puerto Rican roots—all in the wake of Hurricane Maria.

It's 2017, and Olga and her brother, Pedro “Prieto” Acevedo, are boldfaced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular congressman representing their gentrifying Latinx neighborhood in Brooklyn, while Olga is the tony wedding planner for Manhattan’s power brokers. 

Despite their alluring public lives, behind closed doors things are far less rosy. Sure, Olga can orchestrate the love stories of the 1 percent but she can’t seem to find her own. . . until she meets Matteo, who forces her to confront the effects of long-held family secrets.

Olga and Prieto’s mother, Blanca, a Young Lord turned radical, abandoned her children to advance a militant political cause, leaving them to be raised by their grandmother. Now, with the winds of hurricane season, Blanca has come barreling back into their lives.

Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in Puerto Rico’s history, Xochitl Gonzalez’s Olga Dies Dreaming is a story that examines political corruption, familial strife, and the very notion of the American dream—all while asking what it really means to weather a storm.

Tom, alias for former cop turned private investigator Rick Dante, is on the case, unraveling a web of deceit that intertwines with Freddi's secret life as Sabrina, agent for exotic dancers. But their investigations lead to a darker truth—a female trafficking ring operated by ruthless Russians.

As Freddi and Rick's paths collide, sparks fly in more ways than one, igniting a magnetic attraction despite their mutual suspicions. With a colorful cast of characters, including Boomer the horse and The Squid, their journey will have you holding on tight as you barrel towards a chaotic and uproarious showdown.

Hit Mom Grace Adair returns to court to help her lawyer husband Michael defend Sherri Romano, the widow and accused killer of Nicky the Used Car Czar.

When Michael introduces Grace to their new client, Sherri, and her purse dog, Precious, Grace is less than thrilled to be working with a "Karen at volume eleven." But that bad feeling immediately gets worse when Grace recognizes the name of Sherri’s first husband…because Grace killed him.

In Hound of the Bonnevilles, Grace must now defend an alleged black widow in the midst of the busy holiday season, dealing with shopping, celebrations, and Scotchie the Giant Dog’s annual war with inflatable snowmen and grinches—not to mention a background check on her handler Madge’s fiancé, who turns out to have a few secrets of his own. With all this holiday madness, will Grace be able to prove Sherri’s innocence, when even she herself has doubts?

«Un resonante experimento literario» –XOCHITL GONZALEZ, AUTORA DE OLGA MUERE SOÑANDO

Inspirado en el clásico de Mary Shelley y combinando elementos de ciencia ficción, horror, sátira política y romance, Frankenstein Chicano confronta los prejuicios de una sociedad en crisis y cuestiona el verdadero significado de ser humano.

Los «reanimados» están casi completamente integrados en nuestra sociedad, aunque continúan empleados en los trabajos que nadie más quiere hacer. Devueltos a la vida a través de un controvertido proceso en el que se emplean partes de distintos cadáveres, viven en el límite de un mundo que los rechaza casi tanto como los necesita. Y es que, en Estados Unidos, la primera mujer que ha ganado la presidencia tras una campaña electoral anti-reanimación, insiste en que los «zurcidos» son criminales que han llegado para robar los trabajos de sus ciudadanos.

En Los Ángeles, un asistente legal lleva una vida monótona después de que el proceso de reanimación borrara su memoria. Pero todo cambia cuando se enamora de la abogada Faustina Godínez. Al adentrarse en su mundo —lleno de amigos, risas, chilaquiles y pan dulce— el hombre comienza a indagar sobre sus orígenes y a conocer detalles de su propia vida anterior. Pero la incertidumbre a la que se enfrenta no será el único obstáculo que tendrá que superar: los simpatizantes de la causa anti- reanimación siguen sus pasos cada vez más de cerca...

A former cop turned minister is forced to bring back his old skills when his church is rocked by a murder within its hallowed walls.

Asa Carter was once one of Chicago’s best homicide detectives. But he left that world behind to go into the ministry. When he’s offered a pastorate position in his wife’s hometown of Glen Pines—a small, quaint, and quiet town that is a far cry from Chicago—he accepts, hoping the slower pace will bring him much-needed rest.

Asa’s first day as Pastor of Grace Gospel Church is shattered, however, when the body of a young woman is found floating face down in the church baptistry. The small police force is inexperienced and unequipped to handle the investigation. The Chief wants Asa’s help, but the mayor doesn’t. It’s clear there are secrets in this town—perhaps secrets worth killing for. It’s up to Asa to bring back the skills he thought long forgotten and find the person who would kill on holy ground.

From a Costa Book of the Year winner, Booker nominee and double Granta-selected Best Young British novelist comes a searing portrayal of the gradual uncovering of one woman's past psychological wounds, set in motion by the arrival of an unexpected letter.

In the 1980s, Anna McCormick was an anti-nuclear peace activist. She was used to taking on those abusing their political power, but when she was targeted by abuse herself, it left a wound so deep it would still be reverberating through her life decades later.

In 2020, Anna is teaching nine-year-olds on Zoom, navigating a relationship interrupted by enforced distance, and coping with a teenaged son who cannot leave the house. When an unstamped envelope arrives overnight, the traumatic past she had tried to bury begins to cast its own long shadow on the present.

This is a twisty, heart-racing page-turner and an incisive look at the personal impact of the violence of the state, the police and the villains much closer to home.

Essien of Alkebulan returns in this gripping sequel to Descendants of Fire & Water.

Rescued from the clutches of President Gabriel by Enyemaka, Essien flees into the wilderness of Alkebulan, finding herself amongst a group of rebels who seek to dismantle the very regime she used to serve. She quickly becomes a reluctant participant of the rebel cause, desperate to gain control over the flames that threaten to overwhelm her, only to discover she’s simply traded one captivity for another.

Determined not to be caged, she goes on the run from both the rebels and the President. But Gabriel cannot be so easily shaken, nor ignored. Using Enyemaka as leverage, Gabriel convinces Essien to return to him, this time bonded, to fulfill the Mothers’ prophecy of the pair ruling Alkebulan together. But first, Essien must convince all of Alkebulan to crown her Queen. As the pressures of the campaign and Gabriel’s desire threaten to break her, Essien must decide what pieces of herself she’s willing to sacrifice for the good of her people.

Seductive and disturbing, Wielders of Floods & Flames takes readers on a journey of captivity, resistance, and reclamation.

“The last rays of the day-God, glinting through the tangled vines screening the great porch of the homestead of the Horseshoe Brand Ranch, fell upon a face of rare type. The features were rather prominent and well defined. The rich olive complexion, the grave, pensive countenance, proclaimed a proud descent from the only true American—the Indian. Of mixed blood, was Cogewea; a "breed"!—the socially ostracized of two races. Her eyes of the deepest jet, sparkled, when under excitement, like the ruby's fire. Hair of the same hue was as lustrous as the raven's wing, falling when loose, in great billowy folds, enveloping her entire form. Her voice was low and musical, with a laugh to madden the gods.”

The young half-blooded maiden Cogewea McDonnald is caught between two worlds. Embracing the proud heritage of her Okanagan mother yet enjoying the privileges of her European father, she struggles with an unwinnable dichotomy, with which she may never make peace. Excluding this internal feud, however, the life that she lives is carefree.

Well-loved and well-educated, Cogewea is a welcomed figure on her brother-in-law’s ranch and the apple of James LaGrinde’s eye. A half-blood himself, the ranch foreman dotes on the young beauty and believes that in time, she’ll return his affections—that is until the arrival of Alfred Densmore. When the new European rancher sets his sights on Cogewea, a battle for her love—and presumed earthly riches—commences, once again setting the young girl up on conflicting ends of her cultural lines.

Cogewea the Half Blood (1927) is Mourning Dove’s first and only novel that mixes Native American folklore and history into the Western and romance genres; serving not only as one of the earliest novels by a Native American to feature a female protagonist, but also as one of the first examples of Native American literary criticism.

In her English-language debut, award-winning Italian novelist Giulia Caminito follows a teenage girl as her family transitions from Rome’s impoverished outskirts to a fraught new beginning in a tranquil lakeside town, capturing the disillusionment, loneliness, and rage that defined a generation.

In the 1990s, Gaia’s family moves from the neglected peripheries of Rome to an idyllic lakeside town twenty miles away, in search of a new life that will lift them out of poverty. Each of them bears their own scars: Gaia’s strong-willed mother is fiercely determined to secure a better future for her children at any cost; her father, a once proud man, now suffers in bitter silence after a devastating accident; her anarchist older brother rebels against the political apathy he sees at home; and her young twin brothers wordlessly bear witness to a family in decay.

When Gaia meets two local girls, Agata and Carlotta, the trio builds a fragile friendship throughout their adolescence based as much on their insecurities and jealousies as it is on their mutual affection. Gaia’s encounters with callous boys and contemptuous teachers convince her that she might always be an outsider—excluded from a privileged life and perhaps even beyond the possibility of happiness. Faced with bullying and betrayals among her peers and immense pressure from her mother to excel, Gaia turns inward and her world becomes increasingly insular. Then tragedy strikes her friend group. As more friends slip away and her family fractures, Gaia vows to make the world pay for all the things it has denied her.

Winner of the Campiello Prize, The Lake’s Water Is Never Sweet is an unflinching portrait of a generation, striving to make a place for themselves in a world markedly different from the one their parents promised them. With psychological acuity and stylish prose, Caminito takes us into the volatile, searching mind of a young woman torn between her desire to connect with others and her drive for self-preservation. In a novel that has been acclaimed by readers around the world, Caminito shows how tenderness and fragility often lie just beneath the surface of simmering fury.

However, it is rare that a piece art can be traced back to a student through personal history. Yet, Professor Fletcher’s pupils get this chance as they study a portrait of a woman named Lady Hammerton.

First published under Lord Byron’s name, The Vampyre rose to immediate commercial success. However, though he was inspired by a discarded piece of Lord Bryon’s work, both authors have since admitted that John William Polidori was the true writer of The Vampyre. Considered to be the first work of vampire fiction, The Vampyre had an immense role in shaping vampires as literary figures, influencing the canonical rules of vampires that many still follow today. First published in 1819, Polidori’s The Vampyre remains to be a thrilling and spooky read centuries later, and has since inspired both film and theater adaptations. With mystery and eerie suspense, Polidori’s work is an extraordinary example of 19th century gothic horror.

This edition of The Vampyre by John William Polidori features a striking new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, The Vampyre caters to a contemporary audience while preserving the original innovation of John William Polidori’s work.

The Martian (1898) is a novel by George du Maurier. Published posthumously, du Maurier’s final novel is a semi-autobiographical account of his struggle with vision loss incorporating elements of fantasy and fairy tale fiction. Originally serialized in Harper’s Magazine, The Martian is a powerful story of romance, tragedy, and redemption. “When so great a man dies, it is generally found that a tangled growth of more or less contentious literature has already gathered round his name during his lifetime. He has been so written about, so talked about, so riddled with praise or blame, that, to those who have never seen him in the flesh, he has become almost a tradition, a myth—and one runs the risk of losing all clew to his real personality.” Barty Josselin is dead, leaving it up to his friend Robert Maurice to present a fair and accurate record of his life and achievements. After graduating from the Institution F. Brossard in Paris, Barty returns to his native England. As his vision begins to fail, causing him suicidal thoughts, he is visited in a dream by a female spirit from the planet Mars. With her guidance, he becomes a renowned writer. This edition of George du Maurier’s The Martian is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

A sociologist and his two friends embark on an expedition to discover a rumored land where a lost civilization of women lives apart from the rest of the world. They journey by plane and, upon landing, are quickly captured by a group of women. Taken to town, the men are held in a central fortress where they are treated well and encouraged to learn more about the women’s culture in order to assimilate. They are taught the history of the land, which has been without men for two thousand years, and learn that the women are able to reproduce asexually. Although they recognize the utopian qualities of the society and despite being impressed by the beauty and order of its structures, the men struggle to live without presupposed notions of gender and patriarchy. When an escape attempt goes awry, they are forced to abandon their prejudices, joining the society through marriage. When one of the group fails to respect their hosts’ ideals of gender equality, however, the men are forced to make a decision that could endanger the continued existence of the utopia.

Rajmohan’s Wife and Sultana’s Dream (1864/1908) features the debut novel of Indian writer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and a story by Bengali writer, feminist, and educator Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain. Rajmohan’s Wife, Chattopadhyay’s only work in English, launched his career as a leading Bengali intellectual and political figure. Written in English, Sultana’s Dream originated as a way of passing time for its young author while her husband was away on work. Initially published in The Indian Ladies Magazine, Sultana’s Dream helped establish Rokeya’s reputation as a leading figure in Bengali arts and culture.

Rajmohan’s Wife is the story of Matangini, a beautiful woman married to a violent, jealous man. Unable to marry the man she loves—who happens to be her own sister’s husband—she settles for the villainous Rajmohan, an abusive man who rules his middle-class Bengali household with an iron fist. With the help of her friend Kanak, Matangini does her best to avoid her husband’s wrath, illuminating the importance of solidarity among women faced with oppression. Vindictive and cruel, Rajmohan secretly enacts a plan to rob Madhav, his brother-in-law, in order to obtain and invalidate a will.

Sultana’s Dream is set in Ladyland is a feminist utopia ruled by women, a perfect civilization with no need for men, who remain secluded and without power. Free to develop their own society, women have invented flying cars, perfected farming to the point where no one must work, and harnessed the energy of the sun. With men under control, there is no longer fear, crime, or violence. Ultimately, Ladyland is a world made to mirror our own, a satirical exploration of the absolute power wielded by men over women, and a political critique of Bengali society at large. Sultana’s Dream is more than a science fiction story; it is an act of resistance made by a woman who would shape the lives of her people through advocacy, education, and activism for generations to come.

This edition of Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain’s Rajmohan’s Wife and Sultana’s Dream is a classic of Bengali literature and utopian science fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Included in this collection are the stories “Gentle Breathing,” “Kasimir Stanislavovitch,” and “Son,” all of which capture the breadth and intricacy of Bunin’s literary style.

Intrigued, he remains behind after the guests have left, hoping to join her for a romantic tryst: “I made up my mind to watch her that night, to conceal myself somewhere in her bedroom. The glass door of her dressing room faced the bed. I knew that. I realised at once the advantage of that spot; and hiding between dresses hung up, so that I could see unseen, I resolved to patiently await the orgy.” Finding her in bed with a young woman named Fanny, Alcide soon makes his presence known. Between scenes of intense passion, the women share stories of sexual escapades between men, women, priests, nuns, and animals. Gamiani, or Two Passionate Nights is a masterpiece of erotic fiction that remains an object of interest to scholars of queer representation in the history of art.

But passive-aggressive conflict arises when Emsworth accidently slips Peters’ most prized beetle in his pocket, unintentionally stealing it.

The Strength of the Strong (1914) is a collection of short stories by American writer Jack London. Written and published when London was at the height of his success as an author, the stories that make up The Strength of the Strong engage with themes inspired by his lifelong advocacy of socialism. In the collection, London explores—through science fiction, naturalism, and historical narratives—the consequences of capitalism on human life, the nuances of geopolitical power, and the importance of the labor movement. In “The Strength of the Strong,” a parable, a prehistoric elder named Long-Beard speaks to a gathering of his fellow hunters. As they sit around a fire eating the remains of a wild bear carcass, Long-Beard tells the story of their people. He recalls how their society developed to promote individualism and hierarchy, and how conflict with other tribes and a lack of shared resources led to the breakdown of the community. “South of the Slot” is the story of Freddie Drummond, a sociology professor at Berkeley who leads a secret double life as a powerful union organizer named Big Bill Totts. As Totts’s influence in the labor movement grows, it becomes more and more difficult for Drummond to separate his identities and to keep his union work hidden from his fiancé, the wealthy aristocrat Catherine van Vorst. In “The Unparalleled Invasion,” a work of speculative fiction, London illustrates a future where China—which has risen to control all of Asia—is attacked with biological weapons by a combined force of Western powers. The Strength of the Strong is a collection of stories addressing issues of race, class, power, and violence from a master of science fiction and literary naturalism. This edition of Jack London’s The Strength of the Strong is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

A Certain Hour (1922) is a collection of stories by James Branch Cabell. Recreating the lives of some of history’s most celebrated poets, A Certain Hour is a relative outlier among Cabell’s body of work, and is included in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel. “Indisputably the most striking defect of this modern American literature is the fact that the production of anything at all resembling literature is scarcely anywhere apparent. Innumerable printing-presses, instead, are turning out a vast quantity of reading-matter, the candidly recognized purpose of which is to kill time, and which—it has been asserted, though perhaps too sweepingly—ought not to be vended over book-counters, but rather in drugstores along with the other narcotics.” Moving away from his usual setting of 13th century France, Cabell begins his collection with an impassioned essay decrying the state of American literature in the early twentieth century. Interested in the nature of literary genius, he imagines the lives of such poets as Robert Herrick and Alexander Pope, whose wit and wisdom remain essential centuries after their deaths. A Certain Hour is a captivating collection of tales from a historical period not so different from our own. Cabell’s work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read A Certain Hour, however, is to understand that the issues therein—the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women—were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. This edition of James Branch Cabell’s A Certain Hour is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.

The Valley of the Moon (1913) is a novel by American writer Jack London. Inspired by his experiences as a working-class man and dedicated socialist, London incorporates aspects of his own biography—his interest in sailing, his life on a ranch in Sonoma County—to tell a story of hardship, hope, and perseverance. Having grown disillusioned with the labor movement, London uses the novel to advocate for sustainable agriculture and other alternatives to industry, urban life, and modernization. A former professional boxer, Billy works as a Teamster in Oakland, where strikes and demonstrations for the labor movement often turn violent. Soon after his marriage to Saxon, a young laundry worker, Billy is arrested for assaulting a strikebreaker, the stress of which contributes to his wife’s miscarriage. When he is released from jail, Saxon convinces him to reject the labor movement, and the two embark on a journey north to look for work and a new life away from the city. On the way, they meet immigrant farmers who instruct them in the ways of sustainable farming, briefly join an artists’ colony, and befriend a young journalist and his wife. After winning a substantial amount of money in a boxing match, Billy purchases a team of horses and envisions a life of prosperity and safety with which to start a family. The Valley of the Moon, though relatively unsuccessful at the time of its publication, is a meditative work that illuminates the disparities of the American Dream and provides alternatives without succumbing to despair. In its pages, we see the prototype for such authors as John Steinbeck and Jack Kerouac, visionaries and restless souls who refused to accept that life was impossible to change. This edition of Jack London’s The Valley of the Moon is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Prelude to Teleny (1899) is an erotic novel published anonymously, yet often attributed to Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. A loosely related prequel to the novel Teleny (1893), which is considered one of the first works of fiction to openly depict homosexuality, The Prelude to Teleny is the story of a young girl’s sexual awakening and subsequent downfall, as well as of the son she bears.  “My childhood was a very dull one. I am hardly certain whether I remember my mother or not, for I was only about two years old when she died. By an effort it seems to me that I can recollect having been taken into a dark hushed room, where she was asleep—of having been lifted on a couch and made to kiss her. Her face was as white as marble, seemed quite as cold; so that the contact of my warm lips with that clammy flesh produced an indelible impression upon me.” Before she was reduced to this lifeless state, Camille Des Grieux was a young girl with her whole life ahead of her. On a sultry night in the south of France, she has her first sexual experience with a strange young drifter. Unsure if this was a real or just an intense dream, she wakes in the morning with a strange new sensation, and soon finds evidence of another’s presence all around her room. Filled with brief scenes of romance and lust between its insatiable cast of characters, The Prelude to Teleny is an erotic novel that continues to entertain, shock, and surprise over a century after it was published. This edition of The Prelude to Teleny is a classic work of Victorian erotica reimagined for modern readers.

The Lodger (1913) is a novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes. Inspired by the infamous murders committed by Jack the Ripper and Dr. Neill Cream—also known as the Lambeth Poisoner—The Lodger is a thriller that employs aspects of the popular penny dreadful novel while maintaining its literary status as a bone-chilling and highly original tale. “The room, especially when it be known that it was part of a house standing in a grimy, if not exactly sordid, London thoroughfare, was exceptionally clean and well-cared-for. A casual stranger, more particularly one of a Superior class to their own, on suddenly opening the door of that sitting-room; would have thought that Mr. and Mrs. Bunting presented a very pleasant cosy picture of comfortable married life.” Behind their polished exterior, the Buntings hide a common struggle. After countless failures, their business is threatened with total failure, forcing them to go cold and hungry in order to keep up appearances. As their savings plummet, a strange man named Mr. Sleuth arrives offering to pay for the next month in advance. The Buntings are in no position to turn him down. At the same time, a series of brutal murders shocks the city of London, raising their suspicions and fears to a fever pitch. The Lodger is a story of desperation and terror inspired by some of the twentieth century’s most notorious serial killers. This edition of Marie Belloc Lowndes’ The Lodger is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
