Wuthering Heights (HRW library)
Harcourt School. 07/01/1999. Student. 399 pgs. Drawing on the Gothic tradition, Emily Bronte's WUTHERING HEIGHTS is the tale of Catherine Earnshaw, a wilfull and romantic girl brought up to be a lady, and Heathcliff, the mysterious gypsy orphan. Bronte's use of a series of unreliable narrators to unfold their story heightens the mythic quality of the passionate attachment that is at the heart of the book--a relationship that remains tempestuous to its end, and leaves its mark on future generations of their complicated families. The novel's innovative structure, full of sophisticated flashbacks and shifts in time, was ahead of its time, and the brilliant evocation of the Yorkshire moors, with their contrasting great houses--dark and terrible Wuthering Heights, serene and civilized Thrushcross Grange--is a brilliant example of scene-setting. WUTHERING HEIGHTS is Emily Bronte's only novel--unless it is true that, upon her death, her sister Charlotte burned the manuscript of another. When the book was published (1847), it was considered odd, unpleasant, and slightly mad, but time has improved its reputation: WUTHERING HEIGHTS is widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest works of English literature.

Kingdom Alliance
Penguin USA. 06/01/1995. Reissue. The tale of the orphan, Pip, and his mysterious benefactor provides a grotesque but pointed comedy that explores the many levels of English society with insight and sympathy as well as a satiric eye. Considered by many to be Dickens's best novel, GREAT EXPECTATIONS is the story of a young man who rises out of a rough, deprived childhood to a life in which his expectations--or some of them--are fulfilled: he is a gentleman and a success, though he soon finds that happiness doesn't necessarily accompany money and position. The novel is full of fascinating scenes and characters, among them the coldhearted Estella, the vengeful and dotty Miss Havisham, Joe Gargery the noble blacksmith, the ever-lovable Herbert Pocket, and of course Magwitch, the grotesque and terrifying but ultimately benevolent convict, one of Dickens's most vital creations. As the compelling plot progresses, Pip's fortunes rise and fall, and he slowly gains in wisdom, learning to value what is important and to abandon most of his illusions. But the moral of the story is never heavy-handed or didactic, and in telling his tale, Dickens epitomizes all the best qualities for which he became famous: a comic vision, an inventive imagination, and a bountiful appreciation for the wonderful variety and boundless possibility inherent in the most ordinary humans.

The Bellarosa Connection
Penguin USA. 09/01/1989. Saul Bellow's very short novella is about a filthy-rich man known as "Mr. Mnemosyne," a memory specialist who is the head of a mnemonics group--and the novel's narrator. As he dredges up from his memory the story of Harry Fonstein, a Jewish refugee who escaped the Nazis, the narrator--an American-born Jew--surveys his own life as well, trying to understand what made him who he is. In the process he must come to terms with the guilt he feels for his fabulous success--as opposed to the monumental suffering of the generation that came before him.

$3.00 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $1.00 for each additional book from this seller)! Penguin, 1-Oct-89. Trade Paperback. Good. No spine creases, mild wear & light bend on cover. Aged pages, no writing or marks in text. From Publishers Weekly: The Nobel laureate's second trade paperback original (following A Theft ) is a flabby novella that interweaves, and never resolves, two discrete themes. The aging, lonely and nostalgic narrator, a memory specialist, summons from the past the book's story within a story concerning his onetime acquaintance, Jewish refugee Harry Fonstein. Saved from the hands of the Nazis by an Italian underground movement spearheaded by Broadway showman Billy Rose, Fonstein immigrates to America, where he prospers--in business and in his marriage to an obese and brilliant woman. But his obsessive efforts to thank Rose are thwarted by the charismatic yet obnoxious, even deviant personality. Readers who yearn for more on the piquant WW II Bellarosa operation, or on the unsavory doings of Rose, are likewise frustrated by Bellow's characteristic philosophical digressions--savvy but ultimately self-indulgent--on Jewish assimilation in America, memory, friendship and aging: ""I couldn't bring myself to go to bed just yet. One does grow weary of taking care of this man-sized doll, the elderly retiree, giving him his pills, pulling on his socks, spooning up his cornflakes, shaving his face, seeing to it that he gets his sleep."" 125,000 first printing; $60,000 ad/promo.

The End of the Affair
Penguin USA. 11/01/1999. 191 pgs. Graham Greene's 1951 novel centers on the attempt of Maurice Bendix, a London novelist, to learn why his lover, Sarah, had abandoned him without a word of explanation several years before. In the course of the story, Sarah dies, and Maurice comes into possession of her journal, which provides an explanation that is hardly less perplexing to him than the original mystery itself. The novel is permeated with the concepts of sin, guilt, and redemption, and is considered one of Greene's most "Catholic" works, though Greene himself rejected that label. The story is drawn partly from his 10-year affair with Catherine Walston, a married woman (and convert to Catholicism) he met in 1946. Originally published at $14.00 You save 93% off the cover price!

Of Human Bondage (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)
Penguin USA. 02/01/1992. Reprint. 610 pgs. Philip Carey is an orphan, reared by his aunt and uncle, handicapped by his club foot. When he reaches the age of eighteen, he sets out in the world--first to study at Heidelberg, then to try an accounting job, then trying to launch an artistic career. Finally he returns to London to train as a doctor, and meets Mildred, a young woman with whom he becomes obsessed. He finally gets his M.D. degree and considers traveling the world as a ship's doctor, but falls in love with Sally Athelney and settles down happily to practice medicine in a small fishing village. Maugham said of this highly autobiographical novel, "Turning my wishes into fiction, I drew a picture of the marriage I should like to make." "Of Human Bondage" is considered his masterpiece.

Review: ""The modern writer who has influenced me the most."" -George Orwell ""One of my favourite writers."" -Gabriel Garcia Marquez ""A writer of great dedication."" -Graham Greene Book Description: It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham,"" wrote Gore Vidal. ""He was always so entirely there."" Originally published in 1915, Of Human Bondage is a potent expression of the power of sexual obsession and of modern man's yearning for freedom. This classic bildungsroman tells the story of Philip Carey, a sensitive boy born with a clubfoot who is orphaned and raised by a religious aunt and uncle. Philip yearns for adventure, and at eighteen leaves home, eventually pursuing a career as an artist in Paris. When he returns to London to study medicine, he meets the androgynous but alluring Mildred and begins a doomed love affair that will change the course of his life. There is no more powerful story of sexual infatuation, of human longing for connection and freedom. ""Here is a novel of the utmost importance,"" wrote Theodore Dreiser on publication. ""It is a beacon of light by which the wanderer may be guided. . . . One feels as though one were sitting before a splendid Shiraz of priceless texture and intricate weave, admiring, feeling, responding sensually to its colors and tones.""With an Introduction by Gore Vidal, Commentary by Theodore Dreiser and Graham Greene ISBN: 0140185224.

Cousin Bette (Part 1 of Poor Relations)
Penguin USA. 08/01/1965. Reprint. Balzac's heroine is a rejected spinster who brings down an aristocratic family. One of the last novels in his massive literary project, LA COMEDIE HUMAINE, COUSIN BETTE provides a grim view of human depravity and greed. On the novel's vast canvas, every class of society is portrayed, connected by the petty passions, loves, and hates that they all have in common. COUSIN BETTE brilliantly embodies Balzac's naturalist belief that human personality, and hence human destiny, is shaped by environment and upbringing. The novel is also fascinating in its depiction of the varied behavior patterns open to women in early 19th-century French society, from the use of beauty and deceit to advance in a man's world, to the ruthlessness of Cousin Bette, who is not beautiful and who must get by only on her wits.

And yet, Maupassant retains a celebratory attitude that life must be lived fully if it is to be lived at all. Originally published at $14.00 You save 86% off the cover price!

Pierre and Jean (Classics S.)
Penguin USA. 06/01/1979. Although Maupassant's own introduction to his novel proclaims a general distaste for the so-called psychological novel, "Pierre and Jean" (1888) emerged as a very intimate and internal study of jealousy, suspicion, and love within families. Pierre, a doctor, and Jean, a lawyer, are the sons of a retired jeweler who live with his wife in Le Havre. Pierre is jealous of his brother's relationship with Madame Rosémilly, and he becomes suspicious about his mother's fidelity when his brother inherits the fortune of an old family friend. These emotions conflict with an abiding respect for his mother and genuine affection for Jean, so Pierre turns inward and escapes by accepting a job as a doctor on a transatlantic liner.

Don Quixote de la Mancha (Oxford World's Classics) (Qty: 35)
Oxford Univ Pr. 08/01/1998. 1087 pgs. Perhaps the greatest--and certainly the most famous--novel ever written in Spanish, DON QUIXOTE is the classic picaresque tale of a knight-errant living in a world which has no use for him. Written as a history, it gives an account of the life of Don Quixote of la Mancha, a deluded 17th-century Spaniard who believes himself to be a medieval knight and attempts to win renown through acts of chivalry that are invariably disastrous or absurd. One of the earliest examples of the novel form, it remains to this day among the most influential and best-loved works of fiction in any language.

Gambler With the Diary of Polina Suslova
Univ of Chicago Pr. 06/01/1972. Dostoyevsky had a gambling problem which threatened, from time to time, to eat up the considerable sums of money he made from his books. He writes with insight and sympathy about Alexei, who tries but repeatedly fails to break his addiction. Writing the book was itself a bit of a gamble for Dostoyevsky, who finished it in one month (dictating to the young woman who would eventually become his second wife) in order to appease his publisher. The novel stands as a classic picture of the pointless, superficial, but obsessive world of gambling. Originally published at $12.95 You save 92% off the cover price!

Following a car crash, professional dancer Jill Gallagher holds her dying fiancé in her arms as he whispers, "I love you... Kate." Left with the wretched task of returning Hal's body to London and the aristocratic Sheldon family, Jill encounters hostility, malevolence, and a 90-year-old mystery involving a beautiful young American woman named Kate Gallagher and her impossible love affair with Edward Sheldon, Viscount Braxton. A tangled web of love, lies, and murder begins to unravel as Jill digs into the scandal, revealing that very little has changed in the century since Kate Gallagher first caught Edward Sheldon's fancy--especially when the blue-blooded family lineage is threatened by an American upstart. When someone begins warning Jill off her research by ransacking her rented flat and slicing her car brakes, she isn't sure if Hal's American-born cousin Alex Preston is friend or foe. Alex claims to want to help, but Jill suspects that he is not telling her the truth. And with the threats against her life intensifying, Jill is running out of options quickly.
