Kate Chopin: Complete Novels and Stories $16.5 From ruined Louisiana plantations to bustling, cosmopolitan New Orleans, Kate Chopin wrote with unflinching honesty about propriety and its strictures, the illusions of love and the realities of marriage, and the persistence of a past scarred by slavery and war. Her stories of fiercely independent women, culminating in her masterpiece The Awakening (1899), challenged contemporary mores as much by their sensuousness as their politics, and today seem decades ahead of their time. Now, The Library of America collects all of Chopin’s novels and stories as never before in one authoritative volume.brThe explosive novel At Fault (1890) centers on a love triangle between a strong-willed young widow, a stiff St. Louis businessman, and the man’s alcoholic wife. In the story collections Bayou Folk (1894) and A Night in Acadie (1897), Chopin transforms the local color sketch into taut, perfectly calibrated tales of post-Civil War bayou culture. In The Awakening, the now-classic novel that scandalized many of her contemporaries and effectively ended her writing career, Chopin tells the story of a restless, unsatisfied woman who embarks on a quixotic search for fulfillment.brThe volume also includes all the stories not collected by Chopin, including those meant for A Vocation and a Voice, a projected volume that her publisher canceled in 1900, and three stories that were found in 1992 in a long-lost cache of Chopin’s papers. |

Three Classic Detective Novels $5.99 Three “Queen’s Quorum” Keystone Mystery Classics! If you love gaslight mysteries and chases in hansom cabs or horseless carriages, and fin-de-siecle detectives, you will love this remarkable reading value. Here in one mammoth omnibus are three writers whose work was selected by the legendary mystery novelist and critic Ellery Queen as among the 100 best detective classics of all time, with two Queen’s Quorum picks (Average Jones and Prince Zaleski), plus one of the rarest of mystery characters (Marquis of the C.I.D., the Sleuth of St. James Square). On the case from 1911 is the detective the Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection called mystery master Samuel Hopkins Adams’ “most famous creation,” the man whose moniker totally belies his real character, that ratiocinating genius and member of the Cosmic Club, AdrianVan Reypen Egerton, or “Average” Jones as his friends shorten it. Here how the Enyclopedia describes his adventures, “This handsome young advertising genius maintains a remarkable sense of humor throughout a series of unusual cases which often have a medical background.” Match wits with Jones as the takes on the cases of The Red Spot, the Mercy-Sign, the Blue Fires, the Million Dollar Dog, and others. Next, the game’s afoot in the 1920s exploits of Sir Henry Marquis, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department of Scotland Yard (C.I.D.), known as the Sleuth of St. James Square. “A middle-aged Englishman with short cropped grey hair, Marquis seems more like a typical outdoorsman than a policeman,” the Encyclopedia says. “Although a Londoner, he directs secret service operations in Asia, and many of his cases take place in distant countries, including the U.S. These stories carefully combine ratiocination with dramatic flare.” Then meet the justly praised M. P. Shiel’s 1895 Prince Zaleski, whom the Fantastic Victoriana website hails as “one of the most memorable of the Victorian detectives, on a level with Sherlock Holmes himself. Zaleski is Russian royalty |

Three More Classic Detective Novels $5.99 The “Greatest American Detective” and More! Meet the greatest American detective and the first great detective to follow in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes! If you enjoy mysteries set on foggy, gaslit streets with hansom cabs and horseless carriages rattling past, you will want to read all three of these unabridged reprintings of classic detective novels still unequaled today. First you’ll meet the man the Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection hails as “one of the greatest American detectives,” Uncle Abner, as created by the man the Encyclopedia calls “the best American detective short story writer since Edgar Allan Poe,” Melville Davisson Post. Uncle Abner is a tall, gangling backwoods figure of unflinching integrity and profound sagacity, who Post modeled on his hero Abraham Lincoln. Set in the backwoods during the presidency of Thomas Jefferson, you’ll find the Uncle Abner stories every bit the “fast moving suspenseful tales” the Encyclopedia calls them. Next, meet 1910s Hamilton Cleek, created by Thomas W. Hanshew. Cleek was once the cat burglar London knew as “the man of forty faces” due to his unusual gift for disguise. But, love soon traps Cleek in a way Scotland Yard never could, and he is reborn as a foe of evil-doers, putting his vast knowledge of crime and the criminal world to use on cases that baffle the police. Finally, meet 1894′s Martin Hewitt, who the Encyclopedia of Mystery and Detection celebrates as “the first popular detective to follow in the footsteps of Sherlock Holmes.” Though the appearance of the short, rotund Hewitt, the creation of attorney Arthur Morrison, is the polar opposite of Holmes, the two detectives’ gifts for ratiocination and approach to solving crimes are identical. Don’t miss this trio of full-length classics, over eleven hundred pages in the original hardcover editions, for one bargain price. |

Shirley Jackson: Novels and Stories $23.02 In just two decades–she died in 1965, at the age of forty-eight–Shirley Jackson created an enduring body of weird and magical fiction, one in which a grinning death’s head lies just behind the smiling mask of so-called everyday life. Now, in this Library of America volume, Joyce Carol Oates gathers the best of Shirley Jackson’s novels and stories for the first time. Here is The Lottery (1949), the classic collection whose world-famous title story is an allegory of violence, ritual, and the madness of crowds. Here too are two bewitching novels: The Haunting of Hill House (1959), the tale of an exquisitely empathetic young woman chosen by a haunted house to be its new tenant, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle (1962), the unrepentant confessions of Miss Merricat Blackwood, a cunning adolescent who has gone to quite unusual extremes to preserve her ideal of family happiness. Rounding out the volume are twenty-one further stories and sketches that go beyond the Gothic to present Jackson in other modes: groundbreaking domestic humorist, keen critic of racial prejudice, and scathing social satirist.Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders. — Dorothy Parker |

Jewett Novels and Stories $37.99 In her nuanced and sharply etched novels and short stories, Sarah Orne Jewett captured the innerlife and hidden emotional drama of outwardly quiet New England coastal towns. Set against the background of long Maine winters, hardscrabble farms, and the sea, her stories of independent, capable women struggling to find fulfillment in their lives and work have a surprisingly modern resonance. Here is the first collection to include all her best fiction, and it reveals the full stature of the writer Willa Cather ranked with Mark Twain, and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Jewett struck her characteristic note in her first collection, Deephaven (1877), stories whose exploration of Maine life moved and delighted readers when they were first published in the Atlantic Monthly, and opened a new vein of regional fiction in American literature. Of the distinctly local quality of her writings Willa Cather later said: The language her people speak to each other is a native tongue. No writer can invent it. It is made in the hard school of experience, in communities where language has been undisturbed long enough to take on color and character from the nature and experiences of the people . The novel A Country Doctor (1884), inspired by both her own life and that of her doctor father, is often read as a veiled autobiography. Her focus here is on a woman who must choose between marriage and her commitment to a medical career, a decision she defends passionately against the narrowness of those around her: God would not give us the same talents if what were right for men were wrong for women . Jewett’s masterpiece, The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), brings to imaginative life the faded trading port of DunnetLanding, Maine, re-creating in spare, impressionistic prose the rhythms and textures of a communal society of poor fishermen and farmers, with its traditional country rituals and its stoically endured tragedies. In these linked stories we meet some of Jewett’s most unforgettable characters – a woman who withdraws from society to live alone on an island, a retired sea captain haunted by old superstitions, a herb gatherer keeping alive an old knowledge of homeopathic remedies. In the related Dunnet Landing Stories , Jewett offers further glimpses of her fictional town, often delineating with unique sensitivity the theme of older people striving to live with dignity and security – Other stories include A White Heron , about a girl’s love for both a young ornithologist and the heron for which he is searching, the haunting Miss Tempy’s Watchers , and more tales, humorous, satiric, and poignant. This volume features a chronology of Jewett’s life, useful explanatory notes, and an account of the textual history of each of the works included. |

Things That Matter: What Seven Classic Novels Have to Say about the St $4.14 Mendelson, the professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, examines seven classic novels which tell life stories that are valuable to readers thinking about the course of their own lives.Great works of fiction often not only tell a story but also reveal how we are to live our lives. This sympathetic, profound, and very readable work by one of the finest literary scholars of our time shows us how seven novels can help us with the stages through which we all must pass.brEdward Mendelson’s insights into the meaning of the novels he considers are acute. He reveals dimensions to these works that most of us will never have guessed at, showing, with grace and courtesy, both their deeper significance and the wisdom that they contain about life’s challenges. Reading this book places one in the company of an urbane, erudite, and sure-footed guide.br-Alexander McCall SmithbrEdward Mendelson’s observations about literature are among the best I have read: deeply knowledgeable, appreciative and attentive, and expressed with the affinity of a scholar and critic who is himself an excellent writer. His book is a pleasure to read and to praise.br-Shirley HazzardAn illuminating exploration of how seven of the greatest English novels of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries–Frankenstein, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Middlemarch, Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, and Between the Acts–portray the essential experiences of life.brFor Edward Mendelson–a professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University–these classic novels tell life stories that are valuable to readers who are thinking about the course of their own lives. Looking beyond theories to the individual intentions of the authors and taking into consideration their lives and times, Mendelson examines the sometimes contradictory ways in which the novels portray such major passages of life as love, marriage, and parenthood.

Love Stories: A Literary Companion to Tennis $15.51 The love affair between the book world and the tennis world has become legendary. For years, great authors have lauded the storylike quality of this beloved sport. Like a great novel, tennis features a protagonist and antagonist; a clear conflict and resolution; and a beginning, middle, and an end. Love Stories, a literate and eloquent collection of short stories, excerpts from novels and screenplays, brings together some of the most evocative writing on tennis by the best of these masters.Written by classic novelists like Vladimir Nabokov and John Updike, as well as rising young stars, many of these stories dramatize issues of class and status (to this day, competitors at Wimbledon are referred to as Ladies and Gentleman) as well as exploring issues of race and love and sex. These writings are arranged by topic with sections on men’s and women’s singles, mixed doubles — even a round robin of on-court murders selected from tennis mysteries. Love Stories will engage all tennis fans and fiction lovers with sparkling reflections from such superstar writers as: — Ellen Gilchrist (from The Land of Dreamy Dreams ) on Country Club Competition– Martin Amis (from The Information) on Gentleman’s Singles– Margaret Atwood ( The Man from Mars ) on Ladies’ Singles– John Updike ( Separating ) on Match Point– David Foster Wallace (from Infinite Jest) on Junior Tennis– Anne Lamott (from Crooked Little Heart) on Cheating |

In stories, excerpts, essays, and poems, Love celebrates the joys of Eros and some of its heartache, longing, and melancholy.Love includes selections by many of our most cherished writers and poets and ranges across the ages to find the best examples of classic love literature.

This selection includes offerings from expert practitioners of the short story, like Anton Chekhov, D. H. Lawrence, Oscar Wilde, and Edith Wharton. Love also borrows from some of the great romantic novels, with extracts from Jane Eyre, Sense and Sensibility, Wuthering Heights, Washington Square, and The Scarlet Letter. And in essay form, Mary Shelley, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Louis Stevenson describe their experience of love.Love is best celebrated in verse, and the collection closes with offerings from some of the most renowned poets of all, among them Robert Browning, Emily Dickinson, Geoffrey Chaucer, Lord Byron, Andrew Marvell, Walt Whitman, Percy Bysshe Shelley, John Donne, and William Shakespeare, whose sonnets may be the most satisfying evocation of love that we have in the English language. This is a collection to cherish and to share, to read and read aloud, and to come back to again and again. |

The London Novels $45.26 ‘MacInnes is a lyrical celebrator of London, and above all, a writer with a purpose’ — The ObserverThe London Novels is an omnibus of 3 great British novels: Mr. Love & Justice, City of Spades and Absolute Beginners.Bringing together three of Colin MacInnes’ finest works, this exciting omnibus explores a very different side of London life in the 1950s than is usually portrayed. His characters are colourful and real, painting vivid pictures of areas such as Brixton and Notting Hill at this time. The stories of friendship, love and growing up are set against a background of jazz and good times, as London’s staid reputation progresses to that of a thriving multiracial capital. A man ahead of his time, MacInnes displayed the realities of 1950s London: an emerging teen culture, black immigration and the glamorisation of crime and criminals with remarkable insight and sympathy. |
