The Essays of Michel de Montaigne
Regular price $19.99 Sale price $12.99 Save $7.00The Essays of Michel de Montaigne (1877) is a collection of essays and letters by Michel de Montaigne. Originally published in French as Essais (1580), this edition was translated by English poet Charles Cotton in the late-17th century and republished by William Carew Hazlitt, the grandson of renowned English essayist and critic William Hazlitt. “No man living is more free from this passion [of sorrow] than I, who yet neither like it in myself nor admire it in others, and yet generally the world, as a settled thing, is pleased to grace it with a particular esteem, clothing therewith wisdom, virtue, and conscience. Foolish and sordid guise!” In his masterful essays, Michel de Montaigne eschews the typical distancing required of the authorial voice in order to investigate public matters through a personal lens. As the subject of his own musings, he provides both a stirring self-portrait and an invaluable new voice that will resonate throughout Western literature. Unlike the Enlightenment thinkers who would follow in his footsteps, Montaigne is skeptical of the possibility of human certainty and takes an ethical stand against the European colonial project in the Americas and elsewhere. At times serious, at others tongue-in-cheek, his wide-ranging topics include conscience, politics, sorrow, solitude, fear, friendship, war, and poetry. The Essays of Michel de Montaigne were written at a crossroads in human history—between Renaissance and Enlightenment, Catholicism and Protestantism, Montaigne argues that to look outward requires we first look within, and that the quest for happiness requires us to accept what we cannot know. This edition of The Essays of Michel de Montaigne is a classic of French philosophy reimagined for modern readers.

Fifty Years and Other Poems
Regular price $6.99 Sale price $4.54 Save $2.45Fifty Years and Other Poems (1917) is a collection of poems by James Weldon Johnson. Although less popular than his book God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse (1927), Johnson’s second poetry collection showcases his talents as a rising star of African American literature. Including some poems that would be featured in The Book of American Negro Poetry (1922), an influential anthology compiled and edited by the poet himself, Fifty Years and Other Poems remains essential to Johnson’s legacy as a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance. “Fifty Years” opens the collection with an ode to emancipation, a starting point from which millions of men, women, and children were given the opportunity, however fragile it was, to pursue better lives. Rather than give thanks for freedom granted, however, Johnson implores his fellow Black Americans to remain proud, assured that liberty is their hard-earned right: “This land is ours by right of birth, / This land is ours by right of toil; / We helped to turn its virgin earth, / Our sweat is in its fruitful soil.” Hopeful and resilient, Johnson reflects on his own place in this history of struggle, paying particular heed to his status as a poet, his ability to sing despite centuries of violent oppression. In his poem “O Black and Unknown Bards,” he asks “O black and unknown bards of long ago, / How came your lips to touch the sacred fire?” Recognizing the need for a reconciliation between the long tradition of black culture and the overwhelming erasure of his own contemporary artists, Johnson highlights the efforts of those poets such as himself, who “Within [their] dark-kept soul[s], burst into song.” >This edition of James Weldon Johnson’s Fifty Years and Other Poems is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Spies of the Kaiser
Regular price $9.99 Sale price $6.49 Save $3.50Spies of the Kaiser (1909) is a novel by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the height of Le Queux’s career as a leading author of popular thrillers, Spies of the Kaiser indulges in the paranoid atmosphere of the leadup to World War One to weave a sinister tale of espionage and political conspiracy. Despite the playful and imaginative nature of his fiction, Le Queux was genuinely concerned—and immensely paranoid—about the possibility of war with Germany. In addition to selling countless copies, his work inspired a generation of secret service officers who would go on to form Britain’s legendary MI5. “Germany is our friend—for the moment…What may happen to-morrow?” Alerted to a possible plot by German secret agents to invade Britain, a young solicitor and his trusted allies attempt to disrupt these shadowy figures—before it’s too late. While a nation wakes, works, eats, and sleeps, these anonymous heroes track down sources, search for clues, and place their lives on the line for the good of the many. While the truth is unclear, the stakes are not: the fate of their people is in their hands. Written only a few years before the outbreak of the First World War, Spies of the Kaiser incorporates years of research and experience to weave a tale from the deepest fears of the nation. With detailed maps, secretive discussions, and prescient descriptions of submarines and airplanes used for war, Le Queux’s novel seems pulled from headlines yet unwritten, and tragically to come. While not much is known about the author, it is possible his claims of firsthand knowledge regarding the murky movements of spies and diplomats throughout Europe and Britain were true. One thing, however, is certain: his paranoia was far from unfounded. This edition of William Le Queux’s Spies of the Kaiser is a classic espionage thriller reimagined for modern readers.

The Burning Wheel
Regular price $4.99 Sale price $3.24 Save $1.75The Burning Wheel (1916) is a collection of poems by English author Aldous Huxley. Published when the poet was only twenty-two, The Burning Wheel captures the mind of an artist at its earliest fertile stage, enthralled with a world either blooming with change or wilting with all-out war. Although Huxley is known foremost as a novelist, his poetry exhibits a mastery of language and an uncommon sense of the music inherent to words.
“The Burning Wheel” opens the collection with a kaleidoscopic vision of life and creation, illuminating the poet’s debt to the French Symbolists. “Weary of its own turning,” the burning wheel slows for a moment’s rest. This wheel, both machine and pure, wild flame, is the poet compelled to create, the mind that “[w]akes from the sleep of its quiet brightness / And burns with a darkening passion and pain.” In “Quotidian Vision,” Huxley returns to earth to remark: “There is a sadness in the street / And sullenly the folk I meet / Droop their heads as they walk along.” In these simple, rhyming couplets, the poet channels the verse and vision of William Blake to see, despite the “mist of cold and muffling grey,” a “dead world move for him once more / With beauty for its living core.” The Burning Wheel is a compelling collection from an artist whose poetry is no less remarkable for having gone mostly unnoticed.
This edition of Aldous Huxley’s The Burning Wheel is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Four Million refers to the population of New York City, where O. Henry was living at the time of its composition.

Delia, placing her husband’s happiness before her own, sells her own hair in order to afford a platinum pocket watch chain. When she returns home, however, she finds that Jim has made a similar sacrifice. In “The Skylight Room,” a typist named Miss Leeson tries to find work while renting the smallest room at Mrs. Parker’s boarding house.

As winter approaches, he commits a series of petty crimes in order to be taken to the shelter of jail. When his attempts fail, however, he discovers that justice has a cruel way of revealing itself.

Seven Keys to Baldpate
Regular price $9.99 Sale price $6.49 Save $3.50Seven Keys to Baldpate (1913) is a mystery novel by Earl Derr Biggers. Although he is widely known as the author of a bestselling series of novels featuring Chinese American detective Charlie Chan, Biggers worked for years as a struggling mystery writer with moderate success. Seven Keys to Baldpate is one of his most acclaimed works of fiction from that period in his career, due in no small part to George M. Cohan’s celebrated stage adaptation of the same year. Cohan’s version has since served as source material for at least seven feature length films. “‘Yes, it's a little more lively in summer, when that's open," answered the agent; ‘we get a lot of complaints about trunks not coming, from pretty swell people, too. It sort of cheers things.’ His eye roamed with interest over Mr. Magee's New York attire. ‘But Baldpate Inn is shut up tight now. This is nothing but an annex to a graveyard in winter. You wasn't thinking of stopping off here, was you?’” When William Magee arrives at Baldpate Mountain from his native New York City, he discovers that the hotel where he will be staying is virtually closed for the winter. Despite this setback, Magee manages to secure a key to the Baldpate Inn. There, he begins to work on what he hopes will become his first serious novel, his big break after years as a pulp fiction writer. Soon, other guests begin to arrive, each of them harboring a dangerous secret. This edition of Earl Derr Biggers’ Seven Keys to Baldpate is a classic of American mystery fiction reimagined for modern readers.

When William Came
Regular price $7.99 Sale price $5.19 Save $2.80When William Came (1913) is a novel by Saki. Considered a masterpiece of invasion literature, When William Came indulges in the paranoid atmosphere of the leadup to the Great War to weave a sinister tale of espionage, survival, and conspiracy. Keenly aware of the heightening tensions between Britain and Germany, Saki crafts an entertaining story with a political purpose: to call for national conscription in the event of war. Much has changed in London since Murrey Yeovil left for a hunting trip in Eastern Siberia. War came and went, London fell to German forces, and his wife Cicely found a younger lover. Disembarking from the train, he gets into a cab and gives his address, only to discover his driver speaks German. Slowly, he grows accustomed to the rhythms of life under an occupying force, but it is impossible to ignore how many people have been lost. Of those who survived the war, many fled for the countryside or to colonies and nations overseas. They are the lucky ones, who need not fear a trip to the store or a turn down the wrong street might lead to imprisonment—or worse. Soon, Murrey must decide where his true loyalties lie. This edition of Saki’s When William Came is a classic of British invasion literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Ladies' Delight
Regular price $9.99 Sale price $6.49 Save $3.50The Ladies’ Delight (1883) is a novel by French author Émile Zola. The eleventh of twenty volumes of Zola’s monumental Les Rougon-Macquart series is an epic story of family, politics, class, and history that traces the disparate paths of several French citizens raised by the same mother. Spanning the entirety of the French Second Empire, Zola provides a sweeping portrait of change that refuses to shy away from controversy and truth as it gets to the heart of heredity and human nature. At the age of twenty, Denise Baudu moves to Paris with her brothers and finds work at “Au Bonheur des Dames,” a new department store owned by eccentric entrepreneur Octave Mouret. There, she grows accustomed to 13-hour days, inferior food and housing, and the constant grind of thankless labor. Despite her circumstances, she soon finds herself attracted to Mouret, a notorious womanizer whose exploitative business practices have alienated him from employees and local businesspeople. Mouret’s ambition and innovation have led him to corner the market on textiles, womenswear, furniture, and household goods, infuriating his competitors and driving smaller shops into bankruptcy. Until Denise, he has avoided tying himself down to another, intent on building a fortune for himself without the interference of family. Innocent at first, she soon learns how to manipulate Octave to do her bidding. The Ladies’ Delight is a story of family and fate, a thrilling and detailed novel that continues a series rich enough for its author to explore in twenty total volumes.

Originally serialized in Bangadarshan, a popular literary magazine founded by Chatterjee in 1872 and later edited by Rabindranath Tagore, The Poison Tree is a story that engages with the subject of widow remarriage. “The river flowed smoothly on—leaped, danced, cried out, restless, unending, playful.

William Shakespeare
Regular price $9.99 Sale price $6.49 Save $3.50William Shakespeare (1864) is an experimental biography by Victor Hugo. Written while the poet was living in exile on the island of Guernsey, William Shakespeare was doomed to fail at its conception. Condemned by critics who expected Hugo to focus on the works of the Elizabethan playwright, William Shakespeare is in reality a sweeping biography of literature itself, a touching tribute to the spirit of creativity which defines humanity’s life on earth and beyond. “There are men, oceans in reality. These waves; this ebb and flow; this terrible go-and-come; this noise of every gust; these lights and shadows; these vegetations belonging to the gulf […] –all this can exist in one spirit; and then this spirit is called genius, and you have Aeschylus, you have Isaiah, you have Juvenal, you have Dante, you have Michael Angelo, you have Shakespeare; and looking at these minds is the same thing as to look at the ocean.” For a writer of Hugo’s stature, whose poems, plays, novels, and essays earned him a reputation on an international scale as one of the nineteenth century’s premier artists, there is always the chance that the myth will outlast the man, and that the work will fall victim to idolization. In William Shakespeare, he leans into this tendency to immortalize the artist while forgetting the art. Begun as a simple introduction to his son’s translation of Shakespeare’s works into French, the project ballooned into something much greater, allowing Hugo to meditate on the nature of creativity and to situate the contribution of one writer within the history of humanity itself. This edition of Victor Hugo’s William Shakespeare is a classic work of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Sadhana
Regular price $6.99 Sale price $4.54 Save $2.45Sadhana: The Realisation of Life (1916) is a collection of essays by Rabindranath Tagore. Published after Tagore received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, Sadhana: The Realisation of Life contains the author’s thoughts on selfhood, the universe, morality, and beauty. Inspired by the Upanishads, the sacred foundational texts of Hinduism, Tagore’s collection bridges the gap between East and West, ancient and modern, in its search for universal truth. “The west seems to take a pride in thinking that it is subduing nature […] This sentiment is the product of the city-wall habit and training of mind. For in the city life man naturally directs the concentrated light of his mental vision upon his own life and works, and this creates an artificial dissociation between himself and the Universal Nature within whose bosom he lies.” In this collection of essays, Tagore is at his philosophical, poetic best, reflecting earnestly and with ease on matters public and private. Grounded in the teachings of the Upanishads, Sadhana: The Realisation of Life is a text engaged with the role of tradition in an increasingly alienated and individualistic modern world. This edition of Rabindranath Tagore’s Sadhana: The Realisation of Life is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Children of the Sea
Regular price $7.99 Sale price $5.19 Save $2.80The Children of the Sea (1897) is a novella by Joseph Conrad. The story originally appeared with a title featuring a racial slur, a subject of controversy even before Chinua Achebe published his monumental essay “An Image of Africa: Racism in Conrad’s ‘Heart of Darkness.’” Often considered the first major work of Conrad’s career, The Children of the Sea is often read as an allegory on the dangers of individualism and the moral shortcomings of modern humanity. The novella is also notable for its preface, in which Conrad provides a brief-yet-stirring manifesto on the art of literature: “A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.” On board the Narcissus, a merchant ship bound from Bombay to London, a West Indian man by the name of James Wait lies below deck suffering from tuberculosis. Because of the sudden onset of his illness, some of the sailors believe he is faking his condition in order to avoid work. When the ship capsizes in a storm near the Cape of Good Hope, a group of brave men goes below deck to rescue Wait from near-certain death. As the weather improves enough for the Narcissus to be righted, suspicion regarding the Afro-Caribbean man’s health threatens a mutiny among the crew. This edition of Joseph Conrad’s The Children of the Sea is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Uncle Vanya
Regular price $5.99 Sale price $3.89 Save $2.10Uncle Vanya (1898) is a four-act play by Russian short story writer and playwright Anton Chekhov. It was first performed at the Moscow Art Theatre in 1899, directed by acclaimed actor Konstantin Stanislavski—who also played the role of Astrov. Reviews were lukewarm at first, but as the play continued to run, Uncle Vanya gained both popularity and critical prowess, and has since become one of the most influential dramas ever produced.
When retired Professor Aleksandr Serebryakov and his young second wife Yelena arrive at their country estate, they disrupt the mundanity and relative boredom of provincial life for its inhabitants. While the elderly Serebryakov enjoys life in the city, Sonya, his daughter, and Vanya, his first wife’s brother, remain at the estate to manage its daily upkeep. Vanya, whose only companion is Mikhail Astrov, a doctor dissatisfied with his life and role in the rural community, regrets his failure to become a man of letters, and blames Serebryakov for saddling him with responsibility for the estate. He also loves the beautiful Yelena and wishes he had realized it before she married his brother-in-law. Meanwhile, Sonya secretly loves Astrov, but fears he thinks of her as only a friend. As Serebryakov’s decision to sell the estate in order to increase his income is revealed, Vanya—incensed by years of disappointment and disrespect, as well as his by own mother’s idolization of the Professor—reaches his breaking point, bringing the play to its startling, powerful conclusion. Uncle Vanya is a masterful drama that illuminates the intersecting obligations of family while dissecting the bitterness and ambition which so often define the relationships of men.
This edition of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya is a classic of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Gates of Life
Regular price $9.99 Sale price $6.49 Save $3.50The Gates of Life (1905), also published as The Man, is a novel by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written at the height of his career, The Gates of Life helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror’s reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. Inspired by the archetype of the New Woman—a type of literary character incorporating elements of 19th century feminism—Stoker crafts a novel capable of captivating the reader while critiquing the constraints of class and gender on women and men of the early twentieth century. Following the death of his young wife in childbirth, Squire Stephen Norman promises to raise his daughter as his heir. Naming her Stephen, he encourages her to befriend the local boys and refuses to constrain her in the manner typical for young girls of the time. She grows up alongside Harold, who is taken in by Norman after his father’s death from pneumonia. As the story unfolds, a romance develops between Stephen and Leonard, complicating Norman’s wish for his daughter to marry Harold. Having promised Norman on his deathbed that he would look after Stephen, Harold is heartbroken when she proposes to Leonard, but he refuses to give up hope. As time and distance drive them apart, they will need more than ancient promises and memories of a shared childhood to unite them once again. The Gates of Life is a gripping work of romance by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history’s greatest villains. >This edition of Bram Stoker’s The Gates of Life is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.

The Power of Darkness
Regular price $5.99 Sale price $3.89 Save $2.10The Power of Darkness (1886) is a play by Leo Tolstoy. Forbidden for decades in Tolstoy’s native Russia, the five-act play was first staged in Paris, where it earned praise from some of France’s leading critics. Noted for its brutal depiction of violence and desperation, the play is concerned with the universal religious and philosophical themes that inspired such masterpieces as War and Peace (1869) and Anna Karenina (1877). Peasant life is often portrayed in art as peaceful and romantic, in touch with the rhythms of the natural world and coursing with spirituality. In The Power of Darkness, Tolstoy refuses such empty symbolism, choosing instead to tell a story of greed, murder, and betrayal that has everything to do with the political reality faced by its impoverished characters. Fearful of what will happen to their farm when her aging husband Peter dies, Anisya seduces her farmhand Nikita, whose lack of education and opportunity—as well as a moral emptiness—make him a willing accomplice. Betraying Marinka, a young orphan girl he manipulates for pleasure, Nikita joins Anisya in dispossessing her stubborn husband. Tragic and disturbing, The Power of Darkness is a story of man at war with nature, and therefore at war with himself. This edition of Leo Tolstoy’s The Power of Darkness is a classic work of Russian literature reimagined for modern readers.

Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where a lowly swineherd can rise to be Count of Poictesme, The High Place: A Comedy of Disenchantment is one work in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel. Descended from a line of such legendary heroes as Jurgen and Dom Manuel, Florian, Duke of Puysange, is a relative disgrace to his family name. Known as a dishonorable man, disloyal husband, and destructive ruler, Florian harbors a secret desire. Since boyhood, when he first laid eyes on the daughter of King Helmas, Florian has known that the only way he could ever be happy would be through marriage to Melior. Unable to access the mystical Forest of Acaire, however, he takes out his frustration on friends and foes alike. When Janicot, a shadowy figure, offers Florian his blessing, the Duke sets out for the castle of King Helmas without regard to the details of their pact. Set in a fictionalized France of the 13th century, The High Place: A Comedy of Disenchantment is a captivating story of fantasy and adventure featuring a flawed hero whose mythical world is not entirely different from our own.

Written while Tennyson was serving as Poet Laureate, Idylls of the King reworks the medieval Arthurian legend in blank verse and with an elegiac tone.

The Book of American Negro Poetry
Regular price $9.99 Sale price $6.49 Save $3.50The Book of American Negro Poetry (1922) is an anthology by James Weldon Johnson. Alongside some of his own poems, Johnson includes the work of such legendary artists as Paul Laurence Dunbar, W. E. B. Du Bois, Jessie Fauset, and Georgia Douglas Johnson. Carefully selected and supported with a masterful preface by Johnson, the poems herein reflect a range of voices, styles, and subjects drawn from tradition and experience alike. In his preface, Johnson justifies his anthology by identifying its vital purpose: “The public, generally speaking, does not know that there are American Negro poets—to supply this lack of information is, alone, a work worthy of somebody's effort.” And the effort was his. In his poem “O Black and Unknown Bards,” he asks “O black and unknown bards of long ago, / How came your lips to touch the sacred fire?” Recognizing the need for a reconciliation between the long tradition of black culture and the overwhelming erasure of his own contemporary artists, Johnson highlights the efforts of those poets who “Within [their] dark-kept soul[s], burst into song.” Like Johnson himself, many of the poets included in The Book of American Negro Poetry work in a variety of voices, moving expertly from dialect to the traditional lyric in poems that harness the spirit of song and sermon alike. To borrow the words of Joseph S. Cotter Jr., a poet included in this anthology, these poems are elemental in their power to rejuvenate an exclusive national culture, and they “Rise and fall triumphant / Over every thing.” This edition of James Weldon Johnson’s The Book of American Negro Poetry is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.

Looking Backward was one of the most commercially successful novels of the 19th century, and upon its publication, inspired mass political movement. With the portrayal of the 20th century, Bellamy advocates for equality, and rejects war and capitalism. By depicting a happy working environment, where citizens had the freedom to choose their occupations, receive fair wages, and are able to retire at a reasonable time, Bellamy raises awareness for the working class. Looking Backward has since inspired the ideology of socialism, and proposes solutions to problems that America still struggles with today.
This edition of Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy features a striking new cover design and is reprinted in a readable font. With these changes, the compelling plot and insight of Looking Backward is accessible and worthy of conversation.

“The death was certainly sudden, unexpected, and to me mysterious,” is what the letter from Dr. Paterson read. Lord Peter Wimsey and his friend, Chief Inspector Charles Parker, go on to discuss the associated case over dinner, unaware that they are being overheard by another. The bystander, Dr. Carr apologetically intrudes and asks to share a story with the two. Three years ago, an elderly patient he had been treating for cancer, Miss Agatha Dawson, dies suddenly. There was no evidence of foul play nor an obvious motive for murder, leaving the doctor suspicious but ultimately unable to find a sufficient cause.
Immediately convinced that things are not all as they appear Lord Peter Wimsey takes the case. But with little clues and so much time passed, can the amateur sleuth solve the mystery of an old woman’s unnatural death?

Meditations
Regular price $17.99 Sale price $11.69 Save $6.30“Things themselves touch not the soul, not in the least degree; nor have they admission to the soul, nor can they turn or move the soul: but the soul turns and moves itself alone, and whatever judgments it may think proper to make, such it makes for itself the things which present themselves to it.”
Composed in the later part of Aurelius' years, Meditations is a selection of personal writings posthumously collected for publication.
Though now considered to be one of the most influential works of philosophy, Meditations, as it was originally written, was not a book meant for publication but rather was a series of personal and private musings intended to serve as a guide for self-improvement. Most likely written while Aurelius was on campaign, these notes–varying from sentence to paragraph length–recorded his life in different stages, revealed his perspective on Stoic philosophy, and reflected on the beloved "philosopher king's" perception of his spiritual and physical self as it existed in the universe.
Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Meditations reimagines a classic work of philosophy for the modern reader.

Narrated by 20-year-old German soldier Paul Bäumer, the story follows a group of young men who eagerly enlist after being captivated by their schoolmaster's propaganda, only to find the romanticized version of war is a brutal illusion.

Through Paul’s disillusionment, the book explores the deep chasm between those who declare war and those who are forced to fight it. To this day it serves as a powerful testament to the futility of conflict and the profound trauma that can forever change a generation, regardless of who survives the battlefield.

The narrative is set in the fictional Personville, which locals have dubbed "Poisonville" due to its pervasive corruption and control by rival gangs. When the Op arrives to meet a newspaper publisher who is murdered before their meeting, he takes on the mission of cleaning up the city. Rejecting traditional detective work, the Op employs a ruthless and unconventional strategy: he orchestrates a full-scale gang war, stirring up chaos and violence to force the truth to the surface.

Woolf's 1929 extended essay is a powerful meditation on the historical and social conditions that have inhibited women's creative expression for centuries.
Woolf explores themes of financial and educational disadvantage, the historical exclusion of women from intellectual spaces, and the psychological burden of female artists. She argues that intellectual freedom is dependent upon material conditions and that true creative genius requires an "androgynous mind"—a harmonious balance between the masculine and feminine sides of the psyche.

Cup of Gold
Regular price $9.99 Save $-9.99Henry Morgan, a boy living a quiet life on a Welsh farm, is inspired to leave home and seek his fortune in the West Indies by the colorful tales of a pirate returning from sea. As he rises to become a famous buccaneer captain, Morgan pursues two ultimate prizes: the vast riches of Panama City, known as the "Cup of Gold," and the legendary "Red Saint," a woman rumored to be fairer than the sun. A Cup of Gold leads readers on a romantic adventure full of idealism and disillusionment while still pointing subtly towards the realism and moral scrutiny that would suffuse Steinbeck's later works, most notably Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath.
John Steinbeck's first novel, published in 1929, is a work of romanticized historical fiction and allegory based loosely on the life of 17th-century privateer Sir Henry Morgan. The novel chronicles Morgan's life and his successful assault and sacking of Panama City, culminating in his pursuit of the elusive woman he covets. Ultimately, the story concludes with the pirate's surprising return to England, where his career ends with a royal knighthood and a new role in disciplining other buccaneers.

A High Wind in Jamaica
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99When the five Bas-Thornton children embark on an ocean voyage from their Jamaican plantation to England, their ship is captured by pirates. Rather than portraying them as helpless victims, Richard Hughes delves into the complex psychological effects of their captivity, revealing them to be morally ambiguous and more than capable of violent actions. Still echoing through other modern classics, A High Wind in Jamaica spearheaded the thematic exploration of lost innocence and is often heralded as the literary predecessor to Lord of the Flies
Richard Hughes’s 1929 novel, originally titled The Innocent Voyage, presents a compelling and disturbing subversion of the traditional child protagonist. The story explores themes of lost innocence and the profound impact of trauma as the children navigate a world of shifting morality. The shocking narrative culminates in the pirates' trial, where the children's testimony, particularly that of Emily, leads to a tragic and unjust outcome, forcing readers to re-examine their assumptions about childhood, innocence, and morality.

Money
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99Financially ruined by a previously failed enterprise, Aristide Saccard, a ruthless and ambitious speculator, endeavors to recover his fortune by establishing the fictitious Banque Universelle. Through Saccard's reliance on intrigue and market manipulation, Émile Zola explores the devastating effects of speculation on all social strata, from the rich to the poor, and offers a satirical indictment of the corruption and negligence of contemporary financial systems.
Published in 1891, Money is a work of French Naturalism by Émile Zola and the eighteenth novel in his twenty-volume Rougon-Macquart series. While infused with his 1890's perspective, Zola's meticulously researched narrative delves into the world of the Second French Empire's financial market (1852-1870), detailing Saccard's use of intrigue and financial manipulation to inflate his company's value. The novel still serves as a powerful and all-too-topical exploration of the dynamics of greed and its relationship with politics and the press.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Red Harvest
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99A seminal work of the hard-boiled detective genre, Red Harvest (1929) sees the introduction of the Continental Op, a frequent character in the Dashiell Hammett’s fiction and a clear precursor to the morally ambiguous detectives of later works. This gritty and chaotic story is a masterpiece of action and moral conflict, exploring how the detective himself can become tainted by the pervasive corruption of the world he seeks to fix.
The narrative is set in the fictional Personville, which locals have dubbed "Poisonville" due to its pervasive corruption and control by rival gangs. When the Op arrives to meet a newspaper publisher who is murdered before their meeting, he takes on the mission of cleaning up the city. Rejecting traditional detective work, the Op employs a ruthless and unconventional strategy: he orchestrates a full-scale gang war, stirring up chaos and violence to force the truth to the surface.

The Story of Cole Younger
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99After being released from prison in 1901 at the age of 57, Younger took it upon himself to record the deeds of his life, starting with his humble upbringings on the Younger Family Farm and the tragic loss of his father at the hands of a Union soldier (despite his father being a Union supporter himself). The increasing violence of the Civil War combined with young Cole's desire for revenge lead him to leave home and join up with a guerilla band marshalled by William Clark Quintrell. Quintrell's band, along with many of the other "bushwhackers" of the era, operate in relative freedom to raid and retaliate in the chaos that defined the Civil War in the southern states. With the end of the war, Younger and his brothers seamlessly shift from a soldier's life to an outlaw's, specializing in train, bank, and stagecoach robbery. The gang gains notoriety with each crime committed, although Younger is careful to frame these acts not as born of wanton violence or greed, but from a drive to deliver justice for the Union's destruction of Missouri and the suffering of Confederate loyalists. The gang's deeds would culminate in their attempted robbery of The First National Bank in Northfield, Minnesota, which is thwarted thanks to resistance from the local population. In the violence that ensued, many gang members were killed while Younger and his brother were wounded and sentenced to life in prison. Life on the inside softens Younger, who writes of himself as a model inmate and uses the time to reflect and eventually decide to write his story down, "to clear up the record." Following his release from prison, Younger capitalized on his reputation by joining Wild West shows and speaking publicly about his experience as a soldier and, to a lesser extent, as an outlaw. Despite repenting his deeds and converting to Christianity at the end of his life, Younger's deeds live on as a central building block of the Wild West and post-Civil War mythos.

Beowulf
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99Inspiring legendary authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, and C.S. Lewis, Beowulf tells the tale of the original lone hero facing impossible odds. It is the oldest complete piece of English literature and the basis for many of the heroic and fantastic stories still beloved to this day.
The titular Beowulf is a Scandinavian hero who must save his people, the Danes, from the supposedly invincible monster Grendel. Venturing deep into his lair, Beowulf not only slays the monster, but the monster's mother as well. It is at this point that the author both distinguishes himself from contemporary writers and establishes Beowulf's cultural legacy. For, instead of focusing on the hero's triumphant return and the splendor that must have accompanied it, the author jumps fifty years into the future to find Beowulf ascending to the throne of the Danes. Although ruling well, he presides over a world that is passing him by. The heroic nature of his youth is fading the bonds of loyal kinship that hold his kingdom together are unraveling. When a dragon descends on the realm, the king's challenge is not simply to defeat another monster, but to fight the march of time itself, a battle that will prove as futile for Beowulf as it will for all men before and all men since. Beowulf is a literary challenge from humanity's past to look critically at the myths that define civilization and a reminder that time comes for even the mightiest of warriors and kings alike.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Billy Budd and other Prose Pieces
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99Billy Budd is the final novel from legendary author Herman Melville. Published posthumously almost thirty years after his death, the novel is renowned for its richness of character and its thematic ambiguity.
Melville couches his tale of morality inside an exciting nautical adventure set during the tumultuous times of the Napoleonic Wars. The novel follows the titular Billy Budd, a handsome and charismatic sailor conscripted aboard a British Man 'O War named Bellipotent. When one of the senior officers accuses him falsely of mutiny, Budd lashes out and strikes the officer dead in one blow. In the court martial that ensues, the crew struggles to find a just solution to the problem of Billy Budd. On one hand, he has killed a senior officer, and naval law dictates his own life be given in return. On the other, the charges of mutiny originally leveled against him are clearly false and begin a dialogue that calls into question the absolute morality of the law. An unprecedented accomplishment for its time, Melville's utilization of his rich characters to explore morality, political power, and justice levels a potent critique of institutional power that continues to resonate with readers today.

Daisy Miller
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99Daisy Miller is Henry James’ sharpest critique of European high society and a must read for lovers of psychological drama, social deconstruction, and classic literature.
The titular Daisy Miller is a woman whose genuine kindness and lust for life is anathema to the rigid and vain culture of 19th Century Europe. For refusing to conform, Daisy is the subject of gossip everywhere she goes and eventually cast out of high society all together, culminating in a midnight visit to the Colosseum that would prove to be fatal. The narrative is a cutting reminder of the costs of ostracization and the importance of varied perspectives in a healthy society. The book raises many questions that will resonate with modern readers: Who loses when decorum and morality become rigid? How does a culture that values outward appearance over inward virtue treat those that don’t conform? How can two cultures, each with their own sense of morality, possibly coexist? All of these questions and their convoluted and often contradictory answers are handled effortlessly by James as he weaves a story suffused with moral tension, emotional trauma, and personal betrayal.

Faust
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99When man petitions the heavens, is it God or the devil who answers? This question, central to the human experience, is the driving force behind Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s seminal 1806 play, Faust.
Based loosely on the facts and dramatized retellings of 15th century alchemist, astrologer, and magician Johann Georg Faust, the play follows Faust’s search for limitless understanding and wisdom through magical means outside the realms of science and religion. The devil, keen to prove to God that he can lead one his servants away from righteous pursuits, presents himself to Faust as the enigmatic Mephistopheles and offers him a bargain: He will serve Faust in life, but in return Faust must serve him in death. Goethe, not satisfied with joining in the long tradition of ‘deal with the devil’ stories, augments his telling by arriving at the distinctly modern conclusion that “He who strives on and lives to strive / Can earn redemption still.” In the end, Faust is not punished for his drive to know more but rewarded for his unwavering spirit even in the face of hardship, horror, and the knowledge that no single moment can bring eternal bliss.

Flatland
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99An evergreen science fiction classic, Edwin A. Abbott’s Flatland presents an alternate vision of society rendered completely in two dimensions.
In the titular Flatland, women are line segments and men are polygons with various side lengths and angles. Even in such a simple world, social hierarchies and inequality persist. Social status is determined by a man’s regularity of shape and their number of sides. Women, as line segments, are considered dangerous because they can disappear from view and wound others with their end points. In addition to its social critique, Flatland has also been widely praised by scientists like Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking as a useful thought experiment for conceptualizing life in higher and lower dimensions.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Sparking controversy from the time of its publication to the present day, Darwin’s theory of natural selection, where upon individuals of the same species have a more robust chance of survival thanks to their unique combination of physical characteristics, completely changed how the world viewed human history. Although rich with information, Darwin was determined in his writing to reach an audience that extended beyond seasoned biologists, making his work accessible and thought-provoking for people of all backgrounds.

In the text, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels begin by laying out the different classes of people within society and how those classes interact with one another. They stress the exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class and the consequences of that exploitation. The Manifesto concludes with a call to direct action, urging the masses of workers to rise up in revolution and seize the means of production. In their view, this revolution is the only path forward to create a just society.

The Iliad
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99Aiming to bring the legendary story to a new audience, Samuel Butler eschewed the traditional poetical style in favor of a prose translation more akin to that used in the 18th and 19th centuries without losing any of the beauty of the original. The narrative details the fall of Troy and the many tragedies that befall both sides of the war. Heroes clash in sweeping and brutal battle as the Gods watch on in delight, Kings rise and fall by their honor-bound mandates while their men toil in the mundanity of war, and lovers die desperately trying to turn the tides of fate. The Iliad is a meditation on fate, honor, and heroism, painting a world in which the chaos of humanity’s clashing vanities means something greater to not only ourselves, but the Gods above.

Saint Augustine of Hippo is now remembered as one of the great Christian philosophers of history, with his many works contributing significantly to concepts like theological anthropology, eschatology, and original sin. He was not, however, always such a pious and introspective man. Moving beyond his personal faults, Augustine also delves into what he sees as the central pitfalls of the Christian doctrine of his time, especially the reliance on institutional guidance over introspective reflection.

It is then up to the patient and the psychoanalyst to parse out the seemingly incoherent images and reconstruct them into something meaningful. Since its publication, the text has proven divisive amongst the scientific community, with some arguing that the dreams provided in the text refute Freud’s own theories. Regardless, Freud’s writings are a fascinating look into amongst humanity’s most enduring mysteries.

The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket
Regular price $0.99 Save $-0.99The only full-length novel of Edgar Allan Poe, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket (1838) is a tale that is as strange as it is adventurous, as comical as it is horrifying, and just about as Poe as it gets.
Initially intended to be a realistic tale, the adventure of the titular Arthur, a stowaway aboard the whaling ship Grampus, is always turning stranger and harder to define, Poe’s powerful imagination leaking into the cracked hull of the narrative and flooding it slowly with enigmatic characters and nightmarish situations. The ship is beset by mutineers, only to be smashed apart by a storm. While clinging to life amongst the driftwood, a ship crewed by corpses passes them by before their salvation comes in a simple schooner. Off the southern tip of South America, hostile tribes are found amongst a lost set of islands. Ancient secrets mark the walls of an infinite cave system, and beyond the end of the world an ashen reaper glides across bone-white seas. While described by the author himself as “a very silly book,” the narrative has influenced many celebrated storytellers like Herman Melville, Jules Verne, and H.P. Lovecraft.

In that time, he becomes a successful grain merchant and the titular Mayor of Casterbridge, all the while keeping the shameful truth of his family’s disappearance under strict secrecy. Through Henchard, Thomas Hardy paints with compassion a picture of a man whose virtues run as deep as his faults.
