 stock image, actual book may vary The Portrait of a Lady , by Henry James , is part of the Barnes Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes Noble Classics : All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Widely regarded as Henry James s greatest masterpiece, The Portrait of a Lady features one of the author s most magnificent heroines: Isabel Archer, a beautiful, spirited American who becomes a victim of her provincialism during her travels in Europe. As the story begins, Isabel, resolved to determine her own fate, has turned down two eligible suitors. Her cousin, who is dying of tuberculosis, secretly gives her an inheritance so that she can remain independent and fulfill a grand destiny, but the fortune only leads her to make a tragic choice and marry Gilbert Osmond, an American expatriate who lives in Florence. Outwardly charming and cultivated, but fundamentally cold and cruel, Osmond only brings heartbreak and ruin to Isabel s life. Yet she survives as she begins to realize that true freedom means living with her choices and their consequences. Richly complex and nearly aesthetically perfect, The Portrait of a Lady brilliantly portrays the clash between the innocence and exuberance of the New World and the corruption and wisdom of the Old. Gabriel Brownstein is the author of a collection of stories The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Apt 3W which won the 2002 PEN Hemingway Award. His essays, reviews, and criticism have appeared in the Boston Globe, the New Leader, Scribner s British Writers, and on Nerve.

 stock image, actual book may vary When Fitzwilliam Darcy married Elizabeth Bennet, he felt complete at last. When she announced she carried an heir for Pemberley, contentment, ruled his life. Finally, he could become the true Master of Pemberley; he could bring the estate into a new age. Then the unthinkable happens, and Darcy loses all the memory of Elizabeth's love, leaving Elizabeth in a quagmire. She must win again Darcy's affection before he again judges her to be found wanting and before he sends her away from the estate as a fallen woman and before he takes their child from her. Elizabeth must balance her running f Pemberley as Darcy's wife with her need to protect herself from his prideful judgments. She must find a way in the midst of the utter chaos surrounding Darcy's disappearance to maintain his estate and her position in society. Meanwhile, Darcy finds himself in the throes of two resourceful women who would replace Elizabeth Bennet in his life. The manipulative Elizabeth Donnelly hides his real identity from him while the nefarious Cecelia McFarland plots the societal downfall of Elizabeth Darcy. Darcy's love for Elizabeth must save him from the so-called "triumphs" of the ton. The story of Georgiana Darcy and Chadwick Harrison's emerging love complements that of Darcy and Elizabeth's while establishing them as viable main characters. Georgiana's independence grows, as Harrison's obsession with her requires he protect her first from the infamous Mr. Wickham and then from those who oppose his stance against slavery. Placed against the backdrop of the Abolitionist movement and the approaching Industrial Revolution, travel back to Pemberley to Jane Austen's greatest love story - that of Darcy and Elizabeth. This is their first year - a time when they find a balance in their lives and build a future together. As a sequel to Darcy's Passions, Darcy's Dreams revisits timeless characters, mixing them with intriguing new personalities and bringing life to Regency England and a Jane Austen cla

 stock image, actual book may vary In a quaint Austrian ski resort, things are not quite what they seem. Hermann, the manager of a paper mill, has decided that sexual gratification begins at home. Which means Gerti - his wife and property. Gerti is not asked how she feels about the use Hermann puts her to. She is a receptacle into which Hermann pours his juices, nastily, briefly, brutally. The long-suffering and battered Gerti thinks she has found her saviour and love in Michael, a student who rescues her after a day of vigorous use by her husband. But Michael is on his way up the Austrian political ladder, and he is, after all, a man.

 stock image, actual book may vary In this ebullient and inventive novel, Gish Jen restores multiculturalism from high concept to a fact of life. At least that's what it becomes for teenaged Mona Chang, who in 1968 moves with her newly prosperous family to Scarshill, New York, where the Chinese have become "the new Jews." What could be more natural than for Mona to take this literally--even to the point of converting? As Mona attends temple "rap" sessions and falls in love with a nice Jewish boy who lives in a tepee , Jen introduces us to one of the most charming and sweet-spirited heroines in recent fiction, a girl who can wisecrack with perfect aplomb even when she's organizing the help in her father's pancake house. On every page of Mona in the Promised Land , Gish Jen sets our received notions spinning with a wit as dry as a latter-day Jane Austen's. "A shining example of a multicultural message delivered with the wit and bite of art...Gish Jen creates a particular world where dim sum is as American as apple pie."--Los Angeles Times
