Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton delivers a stunning, poignant tale that skillfully explores the psychological and cultural influences on human behavior during the early years of World War I. The profoundly moving story follows the shattered lives of distraught parents left behind as their son enlists to fulfill his military duty. Expatriate American painter John Campton battles to keep his only son, George, away from the front while considering the moral implications of his actions. Inspired by her volunteer work in France during World War I, Edith Wharton's remarkable war novel, originally published in 1922, presents an evocative portrait of sorrow and grief and remains a powerful exploration of parental and filial love and tragedy.

Myra Driscoll had it all--dresses, jewels, a riding horse, and a Steinway piano--until she met and fell in love with Oswald Henshawe, a man her uncle, John Driscoll, hated. Despite the threat of disinheritance by Driscoll, Myra married Oswald. Nellie Birdseye narrates the poignant journey through a failing marriage and a woman's painful struggle with the marriage paradox: how to reconcile youth's romantic exuberance with growing disillusionment, bitterness, and regret. A novelist and short-story writer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather (1873-1947) is today widely regarded as one of the foremost American authors of the twentieth century. She spent her formative years in Nebraska, which at the time was a frontier territory. The pioneer spirit has influenced much of her writing; nevertheless, her departure from that world in My Mortal Enemy led to a mixed reception from critics and the general public. Although the novel was a commercial success, it sparked a heated controversy over whether Myra's "mortal enemy" was Oswald or Myra herself.

The author of one of the greatest romance novels of all time, Pride and Prejudice, takes her readers on a satiric tour through England's history Written during Jane Austen's teenage years as part of her Juvenilia of the 1790s, The History of England mercilessly exploits the comedic potential of human foibles within British royalty. Filled with puns and parodies, the history begins with the reign of Henry IV and concludes with the death of Charles I more than two centuries later. Originally intending it for circulation and performance among family and friends, Jane also commissioned her sister Cassandra to provide illustrations to complement her signature wit and humor. This volume includes an informative introduction, background context such as family trees and personal letters, and extensive editorial commentary. Austen fans and history buffs are sure to delight in this work written by "a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian."

"J. W. Dunne's An Experiment with Time, first published in 1927, sparked a great debate in the scientific community - as well as a fair amount of controversy. Dunne (1866-1949), an accomplished aeronautical engineer and a designer of military aircraft, experienced a series of strange and vivid dreams that came true with shocking regularity. Using his precognitive dreams as an alternate model of time measurement and its relationship to dreams, Dunne proposed a concept of multidimensional time leading to higher levels of consciousness, and, eventually, immortality. This life-altering insight accounted for many of life's mysteries: the purpose of dreams and prophecy, the phenomenon of dâejáa vu, the concept of higher consciousness, and the belief in eternal life"--

The book explores his struggle to regain joy amid self-reflection as well as a reassessment of theories he once believed to be true.
