"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately," wrote Henry David Thoreau, "to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." In what is perhaps the greatest classic of American literature, Thoreau describes his woodland experience and the lessons he learned in a tiny cabin at the immortal Walden Pond.

In this quintessential western novel, the foreman of a large cattle ranch on the Wyoming frontier lives by the honor code of the West, even though it means lynching a friend and possibly losing the woman he loves. Published in 1902, the book became hugely popular for decades, inspiring five movies and a long-running TV series (1962-1971). All the classic elements are here: the handsome cowboy hero; the pretty schoolmarm; the villain who must finally face justice at the end of a gun. In 1977, the Western Writers of America voted this the top western novel of all time. For anyone wondering how the myth of the western hero came into being, this is the book to read.

Bullied at school, friendless and misunderstood, Broadie Bennett learns to trust the loving, sincere people who come into his life. When January, a girl his age, moves in next door, a fragile friendship grows, and through the sting of a first crush he is helplessly pushed aside as she soon suffers dire challenges of her own. His circumstances deteriorate through the disintegration of his family and an increasingly violent environment, but he holds on to a vision of the life he wants, one small symbol of what he desires most: a gold coin that belonged to his great-grandmother. As he is torn away from the only stability he has ever known, the home of his grandparents, he faces a choice between escape and the selfless care of his younger siblings. Little does he know how great and far-reaching his small choices will become for his life and those around him.

From the introduction: "In a letter dated December 12, 1920, Deems Taylor wrote, 'I have finished Jurgen; a great and beautiful book, and the saddest book I ever read. I don't know why, exactly. The book hurts me--tears me to small pieces--but somehow it sets me free. It tells me everything I am, and have been, and may be, unsparingly.' Jurgen wrestles, in its odd way, with the fundamental tragedy of human life in general and male life in particular: We are doomed to age and die; meanwhile happiness will prove elusive. Jurgen isn't for everyone. Some will "get it" and some won't. It's a story of fantastic adventures, but it will be fully appreciated only by those who are stirred by symbol and metaphor. We may not be prancing through a magical world as Jurgen does, but some of us will see echoes of our own dreams and nightmares in his story. If you're such a person, then Jurgen may hit you like a ton of bricks. For those who are interested, some rabid fans (of which there are many) put together a collection of explanatory footnotes in 1928, and these have been included in this edition. It's worth noting that Jurgen is obscurely suggestive without being explicit; it went over the heads of some, but others saw what was going on, and they either guffawed or objected vigorously. There were serious attempts to suppress it, which of course only made the text notorious. It was (and still is) politically incorrect, and it garnered something of a counter-cultural following for all the wrong reasons. Well, so be it. The book is among the greatest works of fantasy, and that's all there is to say." Along with the notes, this edition of Jurgen includes the classic illustrations of Frank C. Pape and a map of Jurgen's land, making this the most complete version of the book ever published. Newly designed and beautifully typeset in a 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

Published in 1863, Five Weeks in a Balloon was the first novel in what would become Jules Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages" series. It recounts the adventures of scholar and explorer Dr. Samuel Fergusson, accompanied by his manservant Joe and his friend Richard "Dick" Kennedy, who make a 4,000-mile trip across the African continent-still not fully explored-in a hydrogen balloon. When the books was published, public interest in fanciful tales of African exploration was at its height, and the novel was an instant hit; it made Verne financially independent and led to long-term contracts for some sixty books over the next four decades. Mixing adventure, comedy, and science fiction, the book has all the ingredients of a classic Verne novel: sly humor, cheeky characters, scientific invention, a tangled plot, suspense, surprise, and visions of an unknown realm. More than 150 years after its first publication, it retains its ability to intrigue and entertain.Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Bambi, a Life in the Woods traces the life of a male roe deer, from his birth through childhood, the loss of his mother, the finding of a mate, the lessons he learns from his father, and the experience he gains about the dangers posed by human hunters in the forest. Combining innocence, realism and a profound respect for nature, the novel teaches the importance of thinking for oneself and the fact that no living creature is all-powerful. Regarded as one of the first environmental novels, Bambi is a true literary classic, an exploration of life's meaning, written not just for children but for adults as well.

This well-loved novel by science-fiction writer Jules Verne wonderfully captures the spirit of adventure that was bubbling around the beginning of the twentieth century. Entertaining and enthralling from beginning to end, this classic adventure tale is impossible to put down.

The author writes, "Zen culture's primary lesson is that we should start trying to experience art and the world around us rather than analyzing them. When we do this, we find that everything suddenly comes alive. If we can take this power of direct perception, sharpened by the devices of Zen art, back to everyday activities, we will find a beauty in common objects that we previously ignored. Flowers-indeed individual petals-become objects of the most intense loveliness. When we see the world with a Zen-honed awareness, our sense of the beauty in objects supplants our desire to possess them. If we allow the ancient creators of Zen culture to touch our lives, we open wider the doors of perception."Includes chronology, glossary, and bibliography for in-depth study.Lavishly illustrated with artwork and photographs. Printed on acid-free, archival-quality paper. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Based on a real-life murder case, An American Tragedy is the story of Clyde Griffiths, who longs to escape the impoverished life of his fanatically religious parents and achieve financial and social success. On a more profound level, the novel is a masterful portrayal of the society whose values both shape Clyde's ambitions and seal his wretched fate; it is an unsurpassed depiction of the harsh realities of American life and of the dark side of the American dream. Extraordinary in scope and power, vivid in its sense of wholesale human waste, unceasing in its rich compassion, An American Tragedy stands as Theodore Dreiser's supreme achievement.

The book explores themes of wealth, decadence, idealism, social upheaval, and resistance to change. It is widely considered to be a literary masterwork and a contender for the title of the Great American Novel.

Pepper and Salt, by Howard Pyle, is a wonderful collection of children's stories and poetry. Written at the turn of the century when children's literature was at its peak, its charming illustrations and fascinating tales impart valuable lessons in a way that is meant to both entertain and elevate young readers. The author writes, "One must have a little pinch of seasoning in this dull, heavy life of ours; one should never look to have all the troubles, the labors, and the cares, with never a whit of innocent jollity and mirth. Yes; one must smile now and then, if for nothing else than to lift the corners of the lips in laughter that are only too often dragged down in sorrow." The illustrations, drawn by one of the greatest artists who ever lived-the author himself-are both rollicking and lovely, and perfectly complete this clever and altogether delightful book.
