Penguin USA. 11/01/1997. God is perturbed that humans are about to discover the secret of creation as they map strands of DNA. Annoyed and fed up, he commands two angels to retrieve the Ten Commandments and break his covenant with mankind. The angels conclude that Francis Bacon made a pact with the devil in the 17th century and ever since then science has been in a race with faith for the hearts and minds of men. They conspire to bring together three people: Onno Quist, a linguist and politician; Max Delius, an astronomer; and Ada Brons, a cellist. The convergence of these three brings about the beginning of the end--the discovery of heaven through the means of science. Originally published at $18.00 You save 89% off the cover price!

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.

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!

What starts as an innocent encounter escalates until the situation has raged out of control--presenting a canvas for the display of Thomas Berger's skills as an ironist and his eternal fascination with victimizers and their victims. Bypassed for a Pulitzer in 1984 (though reputedly the first choice of the committee), THE FEUD--Berger's 12th novel--is considered one of his all-time funniest.

Monarch Notes. 07/01/1988. Reissue. Charlotte Brontė's first novel, published in 1847, was based in part on the author's own days in a brutal boarding school where two of her sisters died of tuberculosis; her characterization of the place in her first published work was an act of revenge. The novel's heroine is a plain, impoverished, but spirited young governess who not only wins the heart of her employer--the jaded, Byronic Mr. Rochester--but manages to defy the social conventions of her time to become a strong and fulfilled adult. Told by Jane herself as she looks back over her life, JANE EYRE became the prototype for the classic Gothic novel set in a wild, windswept location where a naļve heroine must cope with ghosts and the supernatural. It has also inspired countless romance novels and created the bitter, brooding hero who is brought back to life by the goodness and innocence of the woman who loves him. Brontė's tale, however, transcends the genres it inspired. Jane's search for love and for meaning also includes a refusal to accept less than she feels is her due. Brontė sees that quest as a moral one, and a critical exploration of the paradoxes of the English class system and of Victorian gender relations is an integral part of the book. But the main reason for its position as an enduring classic is that JANE EYRE is a stirring and satisfying tale, a page-turner. It was a bestseller in its day and remains popular today--the quintessential coming-of-age story that still has resonance for young women who are struggling to find the balance between romantic love and personal freedom.

Felix, a Viennese businessman, travels with his family to the wild and distant Carpathian Mountains where they hope to consult a healer who may provide a cure for daughter Helga's strange and seemingly incurable illness. There, after an arduous journey, the family--assimilated Jews--is trapped by the fierce winter weather at an inn where the only language spoken is Yiddish. Felix is scornful when the ancient healer, a rabbi, prescribes that Helga reconnect with her Jewish roots: all Felix wants is to get back to Vienna and civilization. But when the family finally leaves, it is obvious that Vienna is becoming a hotbed of the anti-Semitism that will end in the destruction of the Jews. Helga's illness, Aharon Appelfeld seems to be saying, afflicts the entire family, and is nothing less than a symbol of the futility of trying to deny the truth of who you really are.
