The great Tidewater planters of 18th-century Virginia who
were among the fathers of the American Revolution were also
anxious tobacco farmers, harried by a demanding planting

035769 MAIN STREET AND BABBITT
Lewis, Sinclair
Main Street was Lewis's first triumph, a phenomenal event
in American publishing and cultural history. In George F.
Babbitt, the boisterous, vulgar, worried, gadget-loving realestate man, he fashioned a new and enduring figure in our
literature -- the total conformist -- and captured the noisy
restlessness of American commercial culture. H. L.
Mencken wrote: "I know of no American novel that more
accurately presents the real America." 898pgs. • 1992
035720 NOVELS AND SOCIAL WRITINGS: The People
of the Abyss; The Road; The Iron Heel; Martin Eden;
John Barleycorn; Essays
London, Jack
The Iron Heel, an astonishing political fantasy, anticipates
an America dominated by a capitalist police state and
ripped apart by urban warfare. Personal experiences lie
behind The People of the Abyss, which vividly re-creates the
slums of East London, and the exhilarating camaraderie of
hobo gangs roaming across America in The Road. John
Barleycorn describes in harrowing terms London's struggles with alcoholism, while the intensely autobiographical
novel Martin Eden foreshadows his own death at age 40.
1192pgs. • 1982

The Call of the Wild; White Fang;
The Sea-Wolf; Klondike Stories
London, Jack

Mexico, Alaska, and the South Seas,

violence of adventure with vigorous narratives and an intuitive feeling for animal life. 1021pgs. • 1982
035832 POEMS AND OTHER WRITINGS
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth
No American writer of the 19th century was
more universally enjoyed and admired than
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His works

Maxwell, William
With his second book, They Came Like Swallows (1937),
Maxwell found his signature subject matter -- the fragility of
human happiness -- as well as his voice, a quiet, cadenced
Midwestern voice that John Updike has called one of the
wisest and kindest in American fiction. This volume also

Will Darken It, and nine short stories. 800pgs. • 2008

035723 REDBURN, WHITE-JACKET,
MOBY-DICK
Melville, Herman
Moby-Dick, Melville's masterpiece, is one
of the great epics in all of literature. Ahab's
idolatrous hunt for the white whale drives
the narrative at a relentless pace, while
Ishmael's meditations on whales and whaling, the sublime indifference of nature, and
the grimy physical details of whale-oil
extraction provide a reflective counterpoint. This volume also
includes Redburn, which relates a young man's initiation into
the sailor's life, and White-Jacket, a semi-autobiographical
account of experiences in the US Navy. 1436pgs. • 1983
035714 TYPEE, OMOO, MARDI
Melville, Herman
Typee and Omoo, based on the young Melville's experiences
on a whaling ship, are exuberant accounts of idyllic life in
Polynesia. They remained his most popular works well into the
20th century. Mardi is a mixture of love story, adventure, and
political allegory, set on a mythical Pacific island, that looks
forward to the complexities of Moby-Dick. 1333pgs. • 1982
136581 PREJUDICES: The First,
Second, and Third Series
Mencken, H. L.
In the six volumes of Prejudices (19191927), Mencken attacked what he felt to
be American provincialism and
hypocrisy, and championed writers and
thinkers he saw as harbingers of a new
candor and maturity. Laced with savage
humor and delighting in verbal play,
Mencken's prose remains a one-of-a-kind roller coaster
ride over a staggering range of thematic territory. 624pgs.

Muir, John
In a lifetime of exploration, writing, and passionate political
activism, John Muir became America's most eloquent
spokesman for the mystery and majesty of the wilderness. A
crucial figure in the creation of our national parks system and
a far-seeing prophet of environmental awareness, he was also
a master of natural description who evoked with unique power
and intimacy the untrammeled landscapes of the American
West. 888pgs. • 1997

Nabokov, Vladimir
This volume contains Ada, or Ardor, a witty and parodic
account of a man's lifelong love for his sister; Transparent
Things, a haunting novella of a young American's marriage,
the murder of his wife, and a lone journey to uncover the
truth; and Look at the Harlequins!, Nabokov's final novel about
a novelist very much like himself. The texts in this volume have

a wealth of subjects, including South Sea
exploration, geography, music, drama, cryptography, ancient

116785 COLLECTED STORIES AND OTHER WRITINGS
Porter, Katherine Anne
Set in her native Texas and her beloved Mexico, prewar Nazi
Germany and the gothic Old South, Porter's stories of love,
outrage, betrayal, and spiritual reckoning are severe but never
cruel, and always exquisitely precise. They number fewer than
30, but as Robert Penn Warren commented, "many are unsurpassed in modern fiction." Rounding out this volume is a
selection of Porter's journalism and other short prose.

the essential writers of our time. This first volume in the

displayed: the somber and penetrating
realism of When She Was Good; the daring verbal wit of his comic masterpiece
Portnoy's Complaint; the unrestrained political satire of

of Roth protagonist David Kepesh as he endures a metamorphosis worthy of Kafka or Gogol. 672pgs. • 2005

celebrity who reported his own foibles and those of his fellow humans with an unerring sense of the absurd. Arranged

035739 THE INNOCENTS ABROAD; ROUGHING IT
Twain, Mark
The Innocents Abroad is one of the most prominent and
influential travel books ever written about Europe and the
Holy Land. In it, the collision of the American "New
Barbarians" and the European "Old World" provides much
comic fodder for Mark Twain -- and a remarkably perceptive lens on the human condition. Gleefully skewering the
ethos of American tourism in Europe, Twain's lively satire
ultimately reveals just what it is that defines cultural identity. 1027pgs. • 1984

104894 PROVINCIALIZING EUROPE:
Postcolonial Thought and Historical
Difference
Chakrabarty, Dipesh
A reconsideration of the mythical "Europe"
that is often taken, in many histories of
capitalist transition in non-Western countries, to be the original site of modernity.
The very idea of historicizing, the author
argues, carries with it European assumptions about disenchanted space, secular time, and sovereignty.

Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest
Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced

✪ 145533 MEANING IN LIFE AND
WHY IT MATTERS
Wolf, Susan
Most people, including philosophers, tend
to classify human motives as falling into
one of two categories: the egoistic or the
altruistic, the self-interested or the moral.
Wolf argues that much of what motivates us
does not comfortably fit into this scheme;
that we often act neither for our own sake
nor out of duty, but out of love for objects that we perceive as
being worthy of love. 168pgs. • 2012

purpose are in opposition to one another
and that to admit chance into the equation
is to banish God. The thesis of this book is
that chance is neither unreal nor non-existent but an integral part of God's creation.

of the academic life by a well-known
Shakespeare scholar and prize-winning

✪ 104765 CREATIVE DESTRUCTION: How
Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures
Cowen, Tyler
Through an array of colorful examples, Cowen asks what
happens when cultures collide through trade, whether
technology destroys native arts, why (and whether)
Hollywood movies rule the world, and if national cultures
matter at all. Scrutinizing such manifestations of "indigenous" culture as the steel band ensembles of Trinidad,
Indian handweaving, and music from Zaire, Cowen finds
that they are more vibrant than ever -- thanks largely to
cross-cultural trade. 192pgs. • 2004

MATTER: Why Social Inquiry Fails and

arguments, methodological guidelines,
and examples of practical application.

social and economic development of any society, and not in its
emulation of the natural sciences. 204pgs. • 2001

Humanities

Journey into America
