Simon & Schuster. 09/01/1987. Olivia Rivers, first wife of colonial officer Douglas Rivers, is the central character in this book which is narrated by Anne, the granddaughter of Douglas Rivers by his second wife. In 1923, Olivia Rivers travels to India to join Douglas at his post, but she has difficulty adjusting because the British maintain such a distance from the Indians. Olivia finds a local man, Nawab, more interesting than British colonial society, and eventually she develops an affair with him. In a parallel story, the narrator also becomes enamored on an Indian man, her landlord Inder Lal. Written after Jhabvala had begun her film collaborations with Merchant/Ivory, the book contains 23 sections, juxtaposing certain scenes together in the manner of a film. The book won the 1975 Booker Prize. Originally published at $13.00 You save 92% off the cover price!

Harcourt. 10/01/1989. Grass's unusual novel about German life during the Nazi era is a powerful examination of the psyche of a country. It consists of three sections--the first, narrated by Herr Brauxel (a.k.a. Eddi Amsel), the second and third by his childhood friends Harry Liebenau (whose portion of the book consists of love letters to his cousin) and Walter Matern, an actor. Eddi is Jewish, Matern Catholic, but the two, opposite in many ways, consider themselves "blood brothers." During the war, however, Matern becomes a Nazi Stormtrooper who persecutes Eddi by beating him up and knocking out his teeth. The underlying theme of Grass's complex and many-layered story is the way in which the artist can transform evil into art. Originally published at $17.00 You save 88% off the cover price!
