 stock image, actual book may vary Wandering Star is a luminous lesson in humanity amid the ruins of civilization and intelligence. Le Figaro Wandering Star can unquestionably be ranked among the very great novels. This is true not only because of the precision and evocative power of the writing, the subtlety and balance of the construction, the magnitude and loftiness of the subject, but also because of the stature and the trajectory of the protagonist, Esther Greve, who survives the Holocaust only to be confronted in the land of her dreams with another tragedy. L Humanit "Those unfamiliar with Mr. Le Cl zio and his work should know that he is considered that rare beast by the French: an artist and a best-selling author." Dallas Morning News "This novel brilliantly depicts the universality of human suffering, but it also affirms the existence of kindness and understanding...Le Cl zio rises above politics and religious and cultural differences to express the girls' humanity in the struggles they both face." MultiCultural Review "...the beauty of Le Cl zio's language belies the horror of his subject...We can only hope that Esther and Nejma might someday walk out of these pages, meet once more, and plant and nourish the garden that others battle so feverishly to destroy." Bloomsbury Review "Striking a delicate balance between despair and dignity, between incantation and prayer, in Wandering Star , Le Cl zio touches upon each of the many themes he has addressed during his thirty years as a novelist, mixing and weaving them together into a story that combines elements of adventure, literary epic, confession, and history. It is at one and the same time a painful cry and peaceful sigh." T l rama "From page one, I knew I was in capable hands. J.M.G. Le Cl zio's novel of a young Jewish girl coming of age in wartime France is compelling." Baltimore Jewish Times "Beautifully written and seamlessly translated by C. Dickson, Wandering Star is both a coming-of-age story and a powerful tale of survival. For readers hoping to better understand the world we live in, this book also helpt shed light on current events in the Middle East." MoorishGirl "Le Cl zio goes beyond politics, cultural differences, and historical moments to cast light on the universal feelings in experiences of suffering and the struggles, desires, and dreams growing out of such experiences." Midwest Book Review "Le Cl zio has fashioned an intimate, searching novel about the price of war and exile." Stewart O'Nan " An exquisitely written story...I was struck by the beauty in the midst of the searing pain." Penny Rosenwasser , author of Voices from a Promised Land J.M.G. Le Clezio is that rare combination of best-selling author and artist of the highest order. Wandering Star A Lannan Translation Selection received extraordinary critical praise in France. Pierre Lepape extolled it in Le Monde , noting that Le Clezio neither moralizes nor takes a political stance: He goes much farther than that, much deeper; he seeks the signs of human misery and of potential peace at the very heart of life, in a confrontation with time and the elements; with the sun and the earth, with birth and death, with the mystery of origins and the enigma of the future, with the necessity of both remembering and forgetting, without which nothing can be healed." Wandering Star tells two discrete stories of two young girls, one Jewish and one Palestinian, who meet once briefly by chance. Their stories are connected by substance, rather than plot. Each is a wandering star in search of a homeland Esther escaping the Nazi Holocaust, and Nejma, who experiences the horrors of life in the camps. Yet through this novel of dark times and human suffering, affirmation shines as the characters encounter the beauty of nature and instances of human kindness and love. Author of over thirty novels, essays, story collections, and translations, J.M.G. Le Clezio and his wife share their time between Albuquerque, New Mexico, the island of Mauritius, and Nice, France. He is the winner of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Literature.

 stock image, actual book may vary The American Revolution did not just happen. It was the culmination of two centuries of Enlightenment ideas that entered men's minds and were refined and honed until they expressed themselves in an unprecedented rejection of tyranny in the name of individual rights and political freedom from the whims of arrogant monarchs and conniving, power-lusting politicians. Sparrowhawk: Book Six, War, encapsulates that process in the story of an exiled young British aristocrat, Hugh Kenrick, and a former indentured felon from the British lower class, Jack Frake, who both reject the tyranny of the British Crown, become friends and neighboring planters, and form a bond that will enable them to take the first steps towards independence from the mother country. Hugh Kenrick becomes a burgess for his county and helps Patrick Henry secure the Stamp Act Resolves. The American Revolution was the capstone and apex of the European Enlightenment and an unprecedented philosophical and political event in human history.

Prepping for his new movie in the tiny town of Pinecob, West Virginia, up-and-coming actor Joshua Reed lands himself another drunk-driving conviction, this time involving a stolen limo, a dark country road and a cow. Rather than let him rot in jail for the summer, twenty-five-year-old Leanne Gitlin, his fan club president, agrees to vouch for him so he can serve out his sentence under house arrest. In her home. But playing the gracious guest isn t in Joshua Reed s repertoire. And while everyone in town is thinking up excuses to drop by the Gitlin house, Leanne quickly finds herself counting the days until her famous visitor leaves.

When sixteen-year-old Brooke Berlin catches a taste of fame and her movie-star father's attention, she decides it's time to take her career to the next level--by launching a blog that will position her as a Hollywood "It Girl" who tells it like it is. But between schoolwork, shopping, and spray-tan appointments, she hardly has the time to write it herself... Enter green-haired outsider Max McCormack, an aspiring author with a terrible after-school job pushing faux meat on the macrobiotic masses. Max loathes the celebrity scene almost as much as she dislikes Brooke, but wooed by an impressive salary, Max reluctantly agrees to play Brooke's ghost-blogger -- and the site takes off. How long will their lie last? Can the girls work together to stay on top, or will the truth come out and ruin everything they've built? Along with an entourage of fame-hungry starlets, scruffy rocker wannabes, and sushi-scarfing socialites, the case of Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan's dazzling debut, Spoiled, are back for another adventure in Tinseltown.

After eight novels that have won, among other awards, two Booker Prizes, and most recently, the Nobel Prize, Coetzee has once again crafted an unusual and deeply affecting tale. Told through an ingenious series of formal addresses, Elizabeth Costello is, on the surface, the story of a woman?s life as mother, sister, lover, and writer. Yet it is also a profound and haunting meditation on the nature of storytelling.
