 stock image, actual book may vary A twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Charles Johnson s National Book Award-winning masterpiece "a novel in the tradition of Billy Budd and Moby-Dick heroic in proportion fiction that hooks the mind" The New York Times Book Review now with a new introduction from Stanley Crouch. Rutherford Calhoun, a newly freed slave and irrepressible rogue, is lost in the underworld of 1830s New Orleans. Desperate to escape the city s unscrupulous bill collectors and the pawing hands of a schoolteacher hellbent on marrying him, he jumps aboard the Republic , a slave ship en route to collect members of a legendary African tribe, the Allmuseri. Thus begins a voyage of metaphysical horror and human atrocity, a journey which challenges our notions of freedom, fate and how we live together. Peopled with vivid and unforgettable characters, nimble in its interplay of comedy and serious ideas, this dazzling modern classic is a perfect blend of the picaresque tale, historical romance, sea yarn, slave narrative and philosophical allegory. Now with a new introduction from renowned writer and critic Stanley Crouch, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Middle Passage celebrates a cornerstone of the American canon and the masterwork of one of its most important writers. "Long after we d stopped believe in the great American novel, along comes a spellbinding adventure story that may be just that" Chicago Tribune .

 stock image, actual book may vary The international publishing sensation over two million copies sold. A reluctant centenarian much like Forrest Gump if Gump were an explosives expert with a fondness for vodka decides it s not too late to start over After a long and eventful life, Allan Karlsson ends up in a nursing home, believing it to be his last stop. The only problem is that he s still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn t interested and he d like a bit more control over his vodka consumption . So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant not to mention a death by elephant . It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the twentieth century, but he has actually played a key role in them. Starting out in munitions as a boy, he somehow finds himselfinvolved in many of the key explosions of the twentieth century and travels the world, sharing meals and more with everyone from Stalin, Churchill, and Truman to Mao, Franco, and de Gaulle. Quirky and utterly unique, The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared has charmed readers across the world.

 stock image, actual book may vary Henry Townsend, a black farmer, bootmaker, and former slave, has a fondness for Paradise Lost and an unusual mentor -- William Robbins, perhaps the most powerful man in antebellum Virginia's Manchester County. Under Robbins's tutelage, Henry becomes proprietor of his own plantation -- as well as of his own slaves. When he dies, his widow, Caldonia, succumbs to profound grief, and things begin to fall apart at their plantation: slaves take to escaping under the cover of night, and families who had once found love beneath the weight of slavery begin to betray one another. Beyond the Townsend estate, the known world also unravels: low-paid white patrollers stand watch as slave "speculators" sell free black people into slavery, and rumors of slave rebellions set white families against slaves who have served them for years. An ambitious, luminously written novel that ranges seamlessly between the past and future and back again to the present, The Known World weaves together the lives of freed and enslaved blacks, whites, and Indians -- and allows all of us a deeper understanding of the enduring multidimensional world created by the institution of slavery.

A private eye with a law degree, Lobo doesn t like to get rough but he ll do it for a friend. When a rich friend sends him to Paris to retrieve some stolen money, he earns himself a trip to Greece as a reward. It s supposed to be a vacation, but as soon as he arrives he s working again. First his landlady, an English woman married to a Greek, asks his help bringing her cheating husband to heel. Though he doesn t like her, he finds himself morbidly fascinated by her train wreck of a marriage. Then he meets a countess with a blackmail problem, and offers her a little pro-bono work. As he digs beneath the island s sunny surface, Lobo learns that no matter how beautiful the scenery, secrets are always ugly. James Jones gives you a lot of groceries for your money. Not from the gourmet shop just plain, hearty, belly-filling fare. The New York Times Book Review The only one of my contemporaries who I felt had more talent than myself was James Jones. And he has also been the only writer of any time for whom I felt any love. Norman Mailer James Jones 1921 1977 was one of the most accomplished American authors of the World War II generation.
