Published in 1926, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s first novel and stunning portrait of wanderlust and disillusionment amongst the lost generation.

In the aftermath of World War I, Jake Barnes wants the one thing he knows he can’t have–the beautiful and vivacious Lady Brett Ashley. Physically scarred by the war and psychologically tortured by the nature of his injury, the hope of a relationship with the promiscuous divorcée is almost entirely out of the question despite any love felt between the two. It is a reality that Jake acknowledges but cannot completely accept. Meanwhile, Lady Brett embraces a newfound sense of sexual freedom in light of her divorce and enters into a number of love affairs, beginning with Jake’s friend, and aspiring writer, Robert Cohn.

As the three continue their travels through Europe, they expand their circle of friends to include another war veteran, Bill Gorton as well as the future fiance of Lady Brett, Mike Campbell and a young bullfighter, Pedro Romero. Living on the edge, the group indugles their wanderlust, engages in loose sexual escapades, and begin to drink away the memories of war and their disappointments with life–hoping to make sense of it all.

Taking on a friend’s challenge to “write [a] novel treating both the upper and lower classes of black Harlem equally,” The Walls of Jericho treats readers to a tale of two Harlems. One occupied by the “dickties,” well-to-do light skinned or white passing Black folk, and the other filled with “rats,” average, poverty-stricken dark-skinned Black folk–both disgusted by the life choices of the other.

Fred Merrit, a white passing lawyer, wants nothing more than to move into the most exclusive neighborhood in Harlem. Linda, Miss Cramps’ former maid and Merrit’s current housekeeper, just wants to secure her economic future. Joshua “Shine” Jones, fears Linda associating with the dickty Merrit. And Miss Cramps, once so interested in the advancement of the Negro race, is now panicked to discover that one could be moving in right next door.

Published seven years after her debut collection A Dome of Many-Coloured Glasses, Pictures of the Floating World (1919), is another dazzling volume of poetry from the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Amy Lowell.

Divided into two sections; Pictures of the Floating World finds inspiration from both Japanese and Chinese poetry, with Lowell trying her hand at the hokku and Chinoiserie. In poems like “Reflections” and “Falling Snow,” Lowell paints delicate pictures of experiencing nature, with stanzas such as, “When I looked into your eyes / I saw a garden / With peonies, and tinkling pagodas / And round-arched bridges,” and, “The snow whispers about me / And my wooden clogs / Leave holes behind me in the snow / But no one will pass this way.” And in the second section, “Planes of Personality,” Lowell treads familiar ground with over a dozen lyrical poems, written just after the publication of her second collection, Sword Blades and Poppy Seed and up to April 1919.

This edition Amy Lowell’s Pictures of the Floating World is a classic work of American poetry reimagined for modern readers.

“The following tales are meant to be submitted to the young reader as an introduction to the study of Shakespeare, for which purpose his words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in; and in whatever has been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligent care has been taken to select such words as might least interrupt the effect of the beautiful English tongue in which he wrote.”Tales From Shakespeare (1807) is a collection of Shakespeare’s most-known comedies and tragedies retold by Charles and Mary Lamb.

From Dorothy L. Sayers, one of the Queens of Crime, comes the third addition to the Lord Peter Wimsey series, Unnatural Death.

“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?

A fantastic addition to a beloved series, Dorothy L. Sayers’ Unnatural Death (1927) is both a captivating mystery and compelling meditation on gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey himself.

“My novel hasn’t got a subject. Yes, I know it sounds stupid…let’s say, if you prefer it, it hasn’t got one subject…and the subject of the book, if you must have one, is just that the very struggle between what reality offers him and what he himself desires to make of it.”

In a novel about a novelist writing a novel that mirrors the novel he is in, what is the reality of the story? The Counterfeiters, written by Nobel Prize winner, André Gide, is an impressively layered and experimental book that follows the story of Édouard X., an aspiring author and his surrounding schoolmates at the Pension Azaïs, some of whom are involved in a counterfeiting ring. Observing their actions and motivations, Édouard begins to question the value of a counterfeit: what differentiates the real and fake, where the line of authentic reality lies, and how the very idea of counterfeiting transcends the physical coin itself and applies to those who produce them.

Featuring both The Counterfeiters and The Journal of the Counterfeiters, this edition of André Gide’s self-proclaimed, “first novel,” is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.

Beginning with his autobiographical sketch, Memoir and Theatrical Career of Ira Aldridge, The African Roscius follows Aldridge’s journey as a Black man who, “obtained and maintains among Europeans…a reputation whose acquisition demands the highest qualities of the mind and the noblest endowments of the person.” Making it a lifetime goal to use his success and influence to speak on the horrors of slavery in America and abroad; this memoir is addressed to what he hopes to be an enlighted reader, and details how he rose to fame as a Shakeperian actor in spite of the racism and prejudice he faced as a Black man in theater.

This edition also includes Aldridge’s 1847 translation of Auguste Anicet-Bourgeois’sLe Docteur Noir (The Black Doctor). At the age of forty, Aldridge adapted the play about a hidden romance between a formerly enslaved doctor and the daughter of a French aristocrat and was said to have brought dignity to a role that traditionally ended in tragedy for its bi-racial lead.

Together, these two pieces paint a stunning portrait of one of the first great Black actors. One part memoir and one part translation, The African Roscius is an exceptional piece of Black history professionally typeset and reimagined for modern readers.

“The writer hopes that many of the white people will be glad to avail themselves of the advantage and facility thus afforded to them for becoming acquainted in some measure, and with very little trouble, with that truly admirable language of those Aborigines called Abenakis, which, from the original word Wôbanaki means; peasant or inhabitant from the East.”

“Mr. Rice's theory as to the origin of these legends is based on the fact that in the old days, before the discovery of the islands by Captain Cook, there were bards and storytellers, either itinerant or attached to the courts of the chiefs…these bards or storytellers sometimes used historical incidents or natural phenomena for the foundation of their stories, which were handed down from generation to generation.”

“To compose was as natural to me as to breathe; and this gift of nature, never having been suffered to fall into disuse, remains a source of the greatest consolation to this day.[…] Hours of which it is not yet in place to speak, which I might have found long and lonely, passed quickly and cheerfully by, occupied and soothed by the expression of my thoughts in music.”

Queen Lili‘uokalani, the last and only queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom, was an incredibly gifted musician and composer. A student from a young age, Lili‘uokalani’s legacy as a songwriter is felt even today with her most well-known composition, “Aloha ʻOe” becoming the National Anthem of Hawai’i and a cultural call for Hawaiian sovereignty.

Featuring over a dozen unique compositions either written or translated by Queen Lili‘uokalani, The Songs of Queen Lili‘uokalani is a compliation of Her Majesty Queen Lili‘uokalani’s handwritten musical compositions including the aforementioned, “Aloha ʻOe,” “The Queen’s Prayer,” and "Ka ʻŌiwi Nani,” among many others–pulled straight from the Hawai‘i State Archives.

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.

“The practical necessity of being preserved and handed on by word of mouth only, must be constantly borne in mind in considering the development of Indian verse forms. It operated to keep poetry tied to its twin-born melody, which assisted in memory, and was constantly at work modifying the native tendency to adjust the rhythm to every changing movement of the story.”

Bringing together the chants, songs and oral legends of Native American tribes from around the country, The Path on the Rainbow: An Anthology of Songs and Chants from the Indians of North America functions as an authoritative guide to Indigenous verse as untouched and uninfluenced by European colonialism in the early nineteenth century.

Professionally typeset with a brand new cover, George W. Cronyn’s The Path on the Rainbow: An Anthology of Songs and Chants from the Indians of North America (1918) is a classic of Native American that explores the relationship between, “Indian verse and the ultimate literary destiny of America.”

“...she's intelligent enough in a purely feminine way. Eighteenth-century France would have been a marvellous setting for her, or the old South if she hadn't made the mistake of being born a Negro."

Considered by the author herself to be “the best of [her] books,” To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf’s third novel and modernist masterpiece.

In 1910, the Ramsays gather at their summer home in the Isle of Skye with their children, colleagues and friends. James, the youngest son, wants to visit the lighthouse with his mother only to have his father, the philosophical but inadvertently dictatorial Mr. Ramsay, dismiss his wish. Lily, a young but passionate painter, wants to create a portrait of Mrs. Ramsay and James; but is plagued by anxiety due to the discouragement of Charles Tansley. Mr. Ramsay wants comfort and sympathetic assurances from his wife about his place in the world and the legacy of his work; and she, Mrs. Ramsay, the matariach, is a woman who finds strength in her efforts to ensure that things–and people–remain whole.

Set on two days ten years apart, To the Lighthouse is a masterfully crafted exploration of the human experience and the search for meaning in each moment of life: good, bad, trying, and triumphant. Described at the time of being written as, “an entirely new…pyschological poem,” the semi-autobiographical novel uses a stream of consciousness narrative structure to lay bare the myseries and harsh realities of familial relationships.

This edition of To the Lighthouse is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.

Rediscover George S. Schuyler with a brand new collection of pulp fiction stories never before published in book form.

George S. Schuyler was an African American journalist, social commentator and author with a very complicated legacy. Despite making history as the first Black American to publish a full-length work of satire and pioneering what is now known today as Afrofuturism, Schuyler's controversial political stance on race relations lead to his ostracization from the Black community and his near-erasure from African American literary history at large, with many of his works facing limited publication or no publication at all.

The first being Justin Alastai–the infamous and dastardly Duke of Avon–on his way to seek revenge on the Comte de Saint-Vire; the second being the abused youth Léon, who is in the midst of fleeing from his abusive guardian. Purchasing the boy from his pursuer, the Duke takes in the lost soul and gives him the position of a page, leading to the former’s complete devotion and adoration.

But all is not what it seems.

Young Léon is actually young Léonie; her red hair and deep blue eyes betraying the truth of her origin; and the Duke, her apparent rescuer, might have had less than altruistic reasons for taking her under his wing.

In this thrilling tale of long-awaited revenge, can the notoriously cold-hearted Duke allow his heart to be warmed with affection and find redemption in the throes of romance? 

Professionally typeset with a brand new cover, Georgette Heyer's These Old Shades is a classic romance novel reimagined for modern readers.

“This was inevitable in our role as newspaper—but what effect must it have on our children? To educate them in human hatred is more disastrous to them than to the hated; to seek to raise them in ignorance of their racial identity and peculiar situation is inadvisable—impossible…there seems but one alternative: We shall publish hereafter not one Children's Number a year, but twelve! Messrs. DuBois and Dill will issue in November, in co-operation with the crisis, but as an entirely separate publication, a little magazine for children—for all children, but especially for ours, ‘the Children of the Sun.’ It will be called, naturally, The Brownies' Book, and as we have advertised, ‘It will be a thing of Joy and Beauty, dealing in Happiness, Laughter and Emulation, and designed especially for Kiddies from Six to Sixteen. It will seek to teach Universal Love and Brotherhood for all little folk—black and brown and yellow and white.’”

Stories From the Brownies Book is a new collection of tales celebrating African American children’s literature and the groundbreaking work of the N.A.A.C.P. Originally conceived by W.E.B. DuBois, Jessie Redmon Fauset, and Augustus Granville Dill, The Brownies Book was a one-of-a-kind literary magazine that was the first to cater specifically to Black children. 

With over two dozen works of fiction such as, “A Visit to Fairyland,” “How Br’er Possum Outwitted Br’er Rabbit,” and “Those Who Have No Turkey,” as well as selected biographies of legendary Black figures including Benjamin Banneker, Toussaint L’ouverture, and Alexandre Dumas; Stories From the Brownies Book offers some of the best children’s literature of the early twentieth century.

Considered an early feminist classic, Sylvia Townsend Warner’s Lolly Willowes; Or The Loving Huntsman is a fantastical comedy about a middle-aged witch and her search for peace that was selected as the first ever Book of the Month upon publication in 1926.

“When her father died, Laura Willowes went to live in London with her elder brother and his family…[she] was a gentle creature, and the little girls loved her; she would soon fit into her new home. London would be a pleasant change for her. She would meet nice people, and in London she would have a better chance of marrying. Lolly was twenty-eight. She would have to make haste if she were going to find a husband before she was thirty.” Feeling suffocated by the demands of her family, Laura Willowes abandons everything to move to Chiltern Hills. Acquainting herself with her neighbors and the land, she experiences a taste of freedom she desires; unaware that her nephew Titus has invaded her new home. Annoyed by his expectations, Laura goes out into the woods and forges a pact with Satan to be free, and begins to dabble in witchcraft. Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Lolly Willowes; Or, The Loving Hunstman is a reimagining of a feminist classic for the modern reader.

“He again had the sense that all this order, balance and security in his life were really an illusion and a lie”…. “Everything seemed to be slipping from his grasp; everything was becoming increasingly unreal, even his home, his wife, his child, his profession, his very identity.”

By society's standards, twenty-nine year old Valancy Stirling is an old maid.

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.

After the events of The House Without a Key, Charlie Chan is ready for a vacation. But before he can relax in the Golden State he must follow through on a promise he made to an old friend–transporting her priceless pearl necklace to its new owner. Accompanying Bob Eden, son of the jeweler who brokered the deal, Chan will stop at nothing to ensure the necklace reaches its final destination, even if that means picking up a mystery or two along the way.

Based in part on the life of Chinese Hawaiian detective Chang Apana, Earl Derr Bigger's Charlie Chan Mystery Series was originally created to combat the negative "Yellow Peril" stereotypes of Asian Americans that were prevalent in the early twentieth century. 

With The Chinese Parrot (1926), Biggers delivers an intricate puzzle full of adventure and romance that further expands on the mythos of Charlie Chan.

“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.

Revisit one of the earliest masterpieces of Filipino literature with Francisco Balagtas’ Florante and Laura.

In the Kingdom of Albania, the noble and brave Duke Florante is tied to a tree. Losing hope that he shall ever be rescued, he begins to recount the events that have led to his current predicament: the death of his father, the suffering of his people, and perhaps even, the loss of the woman he loved; and as he takes what he believes to be his final breath, a kindred spirit stumbles upon the scene and together the pair embark on a journey to reunite with their loved ones and bring peace to their kingdoms.

Originally published in 1838, Florante and Laura is an epic story of war, betrayal and romance that has never gone out of print and continues to be celebrated as a significant literary achievement of Filipino literature.

“...So much of our lives is meaningless, a self-cancelling vacillation and futility; we strive with the chaos about us and within; but we would believe all the while that there is something vital and significant in us, could we but decipher our own souls. We want to understand; ‘life means for us constantly to transform into light and flame all that we are or meet with’...”

The Story of Philosophy (1926) is a groundbreaking work of creative nonfiction written by Pulitzer Prize winner, Will Durant. Chronicling the ideas—and lives—of Plato, Aristotle, Bacon, Spinoza, Voltaire, Kant, Schopenhauer, Spencer, Nietzsche, Bergson, Croce, Russell, Santayana, James, and Dewey; Durant explores the influence of one great thinker on the next, contextualizing the evolution and development of philosophical thought in the Western world.

Praised for helping to popularize philosophy to the general reader, Durant’s writing shines as he effortlessly weaves together history, philosophy, and biography, cumulating in a work that both encourages and celebrates a genuine love and pursuit of wisdom. Considered by many to be the one of the best introductions to the study of philosophy, The Story of Philosophy is an insightful in-depth look at over a dozen great minds and the environments that created them.

“So many versions of the Divine Comedy exist in English that a new one might well seem needless. But most of these translations are in verse, and the intellectual temper of our time is impatient of a transmutation in which substance is sacrificed for form’s sake, and the new form is itself different from the original… No poem in any tongue is more informed with rhythmic life than the Divine Comedy. And yet, such is its extraordinary distinction, no poem has an intellectual and emotional substance more independent of its metrical form.”

At the age of thirty-five, Dante is lost. Metaphorically by temptation and the turns of life’s ever-changing path; and literally, in a dark and ominous wood to which there seems no escape. Attacked by three beasts of Hell, Dante has no recourse but to retreat into the hopeless darkness of the wood, saved only by the light of the Roman poet, Virgil sent forth to guide him through the underworld and to salvation by the Divine Symbol of Love, Beatrice. Journeying through the Nine Circles of Satan’s domain, Dante is met by historical figures and acquaintances alike—whose acts of violence, fraud, treachery, and betrayal in life forged chains of nightmares and suffering in death.

Hailed as one of the greatest works of literature ever written, The Divine Comedy is a highly influential poem that has dazzled readers for over five centuries, with its’ first book, The Inferno, being one of the most recognizable pieces of fiction ever published. Revisit the masterfully crafted story of Dante’s descent into Hell, with a beloved translation by revered American scholar Charles Eliot Norton, adapted into prose.

Revisit the critically acclaimed sophomore novel of Crisis editor Jessie Redmon Fauset, Plum Bun: A Novel Without a Moral (1928).

After the death of their parents, the Murray family consists of just two people—Virginia, the younger darker-skinned teacher; and Angela, the elder fair-skinned artist—both Black, both women. While Virginia embraces her Blackness entirely; goes on to move to Harlem, teach Black children and marry a Black man, Angela outright rejects it—opting to move to New York, pass for white, and use her privilege to shatter the glass ceiling of her race.

But is it enough? While the act of passing gets her foot in the door; allows her the opportunity for artistic success and even leads to a romantic affair, as a woman there’s only so far she can go and only so much respect she can garner. If being a woman, even a white woman, limits the ways in which she is able to seek fulfilment in her life, what is the point in trying to pass at all?

Semi-autobiographical in nature, Plum Bun: A Novel Without a Moral is a coming-of-age novel that questions the intersectionality of race, class, and gender in the early twentieth century.

Published as a serial novel in The Russian Messenger from 1868-1869, The Idiot is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s frustratingly beautiful masterpiece translated into modern and accessible English by Eva Martin.

Lev Nikolayevich Myshkin, a positively good and beautiful man, has returned home to Russia after an extended stay at a sanitarium in Switzerland. Open-hearted, sincere, and somewhat simple, the young prince seems to leave an impression on everyone he meets and not always in the best of ways. Presumed to be an imbecile, the life Myshkin lives is good, but not easy—and soon he finds himself torn between his desire for two morally bankrupt women.

Considered by many to be Dostoevsky’s most personal book, this lesser-known translation of The Idiot is a challenging work of philosophical fiction that blends the romance and social novel into a thorough examination of religion, mortality, and love.

Having studied under famed ethnographer Franz Boas at Columbia University, Martha Warren Beckwith dedicated her career to recording and contextualizing the traditions of people from around the world. Specializing in Jamaican, Hawaiian, Sioux, and Mandan-Hidatsa cultures, she published widely acclaimed works of folklore and ethnography through her interviews with native storytellers around the world.

Hawaiian Mythology—her most recognized work—is a highly celebrated, monumental study that brings together three decades of exhaustive research of indigenous Hawaiian folklore, culture, and society. Setting itself apart from more conventional collections of folklore, Hawaiian Mythology does not concern itself with simply translating or retelling popular Hawaiian myths; instead, Beckwith presents variant narratives and core folklore motifs, guiding the reader through every significant theme and deity in Hawaiian mythology. Without question, it is one of the most comprehensive studies ever conducted on the indigenous culture of Hawai’i and her people before annexation; and is widely considered to be an authoritative text on Hawaiian folklore as it is known today.

This edition of Martha Warren Beckwith’s Hawaiian Mythology is a classic of anthropological literature reimagined for modern readers.

Based on the operetta that popularized the “fairytale show,” for stage, Babes in Toyland (1904) is Anna Alice Chapin and Glen MacDonough’s classic tale of adventure, fantasy, and a bit of Christmas magic that has charmed readers and audiences alike for over a century.

Alan and Jane have been living with their Uncle Barnaby ever since their mother died some odd years ago. They are fortunate, he likes to remind them, to have even the smallest amounts of food and the nicest of soft beds given that most orphans of the world are without uncles to shelter them—yet while this humble life is enough for the children, it is a miserable existence for Barnaby who secretly plots to do away with the siblings and pocket their inheritance for himself.

Sending them off to be shipwrecked, the unsuspecting children climb aboard a vessel with Gonzorgo and Roderigo and are abandoned at sea; surviving only by the grace of the good sea spirits and rescued by a sea-traveling band of gypsies.

Having narrowly escaped death, Alan and Jane accept that they have no place with Uncle Barnaby and begin on an exciting adventure that—after a series of unfortunate events—leads them to the whimsical Toyland and an unusual Master Toymaker.

Anna Alice Chapin and Glen MacDonough’s Babes in Toyland weaves the characters and stories from the Mother Goose nursery rhymes into a wonderfully unique fairytale filled that is sure to delight readers of all ages.

In 1928, there were three lesbian novels published in England: Viriginia Woolf’s Orlando: A Biography, Compton Mackenzie’s Extraordinary Women, and Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness. Between them, each book offered then-revolutionary ideas about love, sexuality, and gender; but only one has been banned, welcomed praise, and garnered controversy for almost a century.

Stephen Gordon has always been different. Firstly, she was born a girl against her parent’s wishes. Secondly, she is raised to be boyish—the son her father always wanted—much to her mother’s disdain. However, the most damning thing of all is Stephen’s love for other women, something society isn’t quite ready to accept. While Stephen lives a good life—that is, having wealth and opportunity by virtue of being born into an upper-class aristocratic family—it is far from an easy one. For Stephen, life is a frustrating existence where she does not know the meaning of herself or where she belongs in the world…that is until she meets Angela Crossby, and comes to know romantic love for the very first time.

Autobiographical in nature, Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness is an intensely emotional novel about what it means to be queer in the early twentieth century.

“The old time Negro preacher of parts was above all an orator, and in good measure an actor. He knew the secret of oratory, that at the bottom of it is a progression of rhythmic words more than anything else. …He often possessed a voice that was a marvelous instrument, a voice he could modulate from a sepulchral whisper to a crashing thunder clap. …At such time his language was not prose but poetry. It was from memories of such preachers there grew the idea of this book of poems.”

Featuring seven-free verse biblically inspired poems, God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse is a brief, yet powerful, critically acclaimed collection that celebrates the oratorical talent of the “old time” Black preacher; the rhythm and lyricism of his words, as well as the heart and soul of his church. Beginning with the preliminary call to prayer “Listen Lord” and ending with “The Judgement Day,” Johnson leads readers on a literary journey that showcases the collision of Black life and Black art within the realm of Christianity.

Inspired by both his childhood memories of listening to sermons and a desire to pay tribute to the work of Black preachers, God’s Trombones: Seven Negro Sermons in Verse is James Weldon Johnson’s exciting exploration of African American religious expression and history.

Hailed by Arnold Rampersad as “[Hughes’] most brilliant book of poems,” Fine Clothes to the Jew is the stunning sophomore collection of poetry that—in conjunction with The Weary Blues—solidified Langston Hughes as a literary powerhouse.

Originally published in 1927, Fine Clothes to the Jew is both a continuation and extension of his previous volume of verse; continuing to utilize the rhythm and function of Black classical music—the blues, as it were—to capture a scene of Black life in America, only this time with a less pristine picture.

Turning his focus from the tender and nostalgic depiction of the culture, Hughes opts to reveal the raw and unfiltered realities of Harlem; the depression, the poverty, and the struggle of those outside the purview of the Talented Tenth; creating what is arguably, one of the most significant collections of poetry ever published and one of the most-overlooked pieces of work in African-American literary history.

Featuring such poems as, “Po’ Boy Blues,” “Death of Do Dirty,” “Song For a Dark Girl,” and “Lament Over Love,” Fine Clothes to the Jew is a must-read book for fans of Langston Hughes and a forgotten classic of the Harlem Renaissance.

“…all Ladies should carry about with them [this almanack], as the Priest his Breviary, as the Cook his Recipes, as the Doctor his Physic, as the Bride her Fears, and as the Lion his Roar!”

Unquestionably unique in its execution of narrative, Djuna Barnes’ The Ladies Almanack is an experimental roman à clef that intertwines fiction, myth, and parody into one of the boldest pieces of lesbian literature published in the twentieth century.

Privately printed and distributed by Barnes herself, the novel is considered by many to be the love letter—and inside joke—to the lesbian community that flourished in the literary salon of American writer, Natalie Clifford Barney; with many in the circle appearing pseudonymously within the text.

Confounding both critics and readers alike for almost a century, The Ladies Almanack is an unabashedly puzzling book that exists on its own terms; unapologetically delighting its first audience, confusing it’s expanded audience, and celebrating all that lesbianism was and can be.

Hailed as one of the best novellas ever published as well as an outstanding triumph of his later fiction, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is Leo Tolstoy’s masterfully crafted story on what it means to face the end.

Ivan Ilyich is dead. Diagnosed just weeks before with an unknown—but terminal—illness, the late Court of Justice spent his final days reflecting on his “most simple and most ordinary”—and therefore most terrible—life. He did as was expected: worked an important job, garnered moderate wealth, married a slightly demanding woman, and started a family of his own…but had he ever truly lived?

Inspired by his newfound faith and renewed sense of purpose, Leo Tolstoy’s first major post-conversion work of fiction sees a modern unsentimental man face the reality of his own mortality. Not just the act and process of dying, but the physicality of waking up in a body that is doomed to fail, the actuality of the burden he is becoming to his family, and the vulnerability in knowing that ultimately, he—and everyone else—will die alone.

“Continue to act thus, my dear Lucilius—set yourself free for your own sake; gather and save your time, which till lately has been forced from you, or filched away, or has merely slipped from your hands. Make yourself believe the truth of my words,—that certain moments are torn from us, that some are gently removed, and that others glide beyond our reach. The most disgraceful kind of loss, however, is that due to carelessness.”

For one of the major philosophical figures of the Roman Empire, philosophy was—above all else—the giving of good advice. What better way, then, could he reason to be the best vehicle for his thought, if not the simple and intimate letter? Seneca’s Letters of a Stoic is a work of masterfully crafted epistolary philosophy that consists of one hundred and twenty-four letters written towards the end of his life to his friend, Lucilius Junior.

Known by many names from, The Story of a Nutcracker to The Nutcracker of Nuremberg—Alexandre Dumas’ The History of a Nutcracker is both a translation and slight retelling of E.T.A. Hoffman’s 1816 novella, The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. In keeping with the themes of the original story, The History of a Nutcracker tells the tale of a litte girl named Marie and her Christmas toy. Gifted a magical nutcracker on Christmas, Marie watches as the titular Nutcracker goes forth to defeat the evil Mouse King and is then swept away to the fantastical kingdom of dolls.

Professionally typset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of The History of a Nutcracker is a classic children’s fantasy reimagined for modern readers.

“Breezes blowin’ middlin’ brisk, / Snowflakes thro’ the air a-whisk, / Fallin’ kind o’ soft an’ light, /Not enough to make things white, / But jest sorter siftin’ down / So ’s to cover up the brown /Of the dark world’s rugged ways / ’N’ make things look like holidays. /Not smoothed over, but jest specked, / Sorter strainin’ fur effect, / An’ not quite a-gittin’ through / What it started in to do. / Mercy sakes! It does seem queer / Christmas day is ’most nigh here. / Somehow it don’t seem to me /Christmas like it used to be,— / Christmas with its ice an’ snow, / Christmas of the long ago.”

Written by Rachel Field, author of the Newberry Award-winning children’s book, Hitty, comes a fantastical tale of one girl’s journey into a magic pawnshop and the small adventures that lie within.

On a cold New Years’ Eve night, nine-year-old Prinda Bassett ventures out into the snow in hopes of finding a cure for her dreadfully ill Uncle Oliver.

While the tragedy of his early death cemented his legacy as the romanticized ideal of a “tortured artist,” Vincent Van Gogh was more than his poverty, his mental illness and even his perceived genius.

Compiled by his sister-in-law, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger, The Letters of a Post-Impressionist: Being the Familiar Correspondence of Vincent Van Gogh, is collection of personal letters that exists because of the endearing friendship between two brothers: Theo and Vincent Van Gogh. Consisting of hundreds of letters—both complete and fragmented—between Vincent, his brother, and occasionally, his friend and fellow painter, Émile Bernard, this initial volume of published letters provide a reflection of Vincent Van Gogh as both a literary and visual artist.

Read as literature, these letters paint the portrait of an incredibly gifted writer with a unique sense of literary style—read as autobiography, they chronicle an artist’s life and his ability to use his brush as an expression of himself.

Detailing his views on his contemporaries, the Expressionist painting style, his art and inspirations—The Letters of a Post-Impressionist: Being the Familiar Correspondence of Vincent Van Gogh is a beautifully written epistolary biography that provides an intimate look into the mind of one of the most talented and celebrated artists in the world.

Described by T.S. Eliot as “one of the greatest short stories ever written,” The Dead is a beautifully crafted novella by Irish novelist and literary critic, James Joyce.

It’s Christmastime in Dublin. The snow is falling. And a thirty-year strong annual Christmas party is underway. Gabriel Conroy, nephew to the hosts, frets over his impending after-dinner speech, while Gretta, his wife, wanders the affair thinking of her childhood home. The lavish festivities proceed in full swing, Gabriel’s long-awaited speech ends in a rousing rendition of “For They Are Jolly Gay Fellow,” and as the party winds to a close, the guests spill out into the winter night…all except for Gretta.

At the top of the stairs she stands chillingly still, seemingly mesmerized by the sounds of a soft song being sung in another room. And while the Conroys eventually leave, Gretta’s mind remains with the music—haunted by a long-lost memory that will shake her husband to his core.

James Joyce’s The Dead is a critically acclaimed novella that explores how much of living we owe to lives of the dead and how much the ghosts of our past truly shape us.
