Sea Tales

In The Pilot (1824) and The Red Rover (1828), James Fenimore Cooper invented a new literary genre: the sea novel. Collected here in a single Library of America volume, they are among his finest works. Bold, vigorous, original, each is a tale of high adventure that vividly captures the majesty and power of the seafaring life. Cooper drew on his direct knowledge of ships and sailors to present a truer picture of life on the sea than had ever before achieved in literature. As a boy of seventeen he had sailed before the mast on a merchantman bound from New York to London and then to Spain. On board he experienced the life of a common seaman, learned the craft of sailing, encountered terrifying storms, was chased by pirates, and watched the impressment of crew members by a British man-of-war. He later served as an officer in the United States Navy. The Pilot is loosely based upon stories of John Paul Jones’s daring hit-and-run tactics during the Revolutionary War. The shadowy hero, modeled on Jones, leads a squadron of the infant American navy in a series of raids on the English coast, braving fierce storms and the guns of hostile warships, yet never revealing his identity. In this novel Cooper introduced the character of the “old salt,” the seasoned deckhand happy only aboard ship. Long Tom Coffin, with his briny conversation and shrewd nautical advice, is the first of Cooper’s memorable portraits of common seaman. A ghostly ship, an uncanny hero, a heroine kidnapped by pirates, revelations of mistaken identity, and the reunion of long-lost relatives—scenes of romance and adventure fill the pages of The Red Rover, Cooper’s most theatrical novel. Set in the mid-eighteenth century, the tale recounts the exploits of a noble outcast and visionary who foresees America’s destiny as a sovereign nation. Forced into a life of piracy, the Rover conducts his private war of independence in a story that equates the free and daring life with the American dream of self-reliance and liberty from British rule. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation’s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America’s best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us. Nine year old Bruno knows nothing of the Final Solution and the Holocaust. He’s oblivious to the appalling cruelties being inflicted on the people of Europe by his country. All he knows is that he has moved from Berlin to a desolate area where he has no one to play with. Until he meets Shmuel. Shmuel lives in a strange parallel existence on the other side of the adjoining wire fence, where everyone wears a uniform of striped pyjamas. Despite the wire fence separating them, the two boys become best friends. As they grow closer, Bruno starts to learn the terrible truth that lies beyond the fence, and what life is like for his friend. John Boyne’s classic novel explores the friendship and loss of innocence of Bruno and Shmuel, during one of the worst points in history.

The Mammoth Hunters

Set in the challenging terrain of Ice Age Europe that millions of Jean Auel’s readers have come to treasure, The Mammoth Hunters is an epic novel of love, knowledge, jealousy, and hard choices—a novel certain to garner Jean Auel even greater acclaim as a master storyteller of the dawn of humanity. Ayla, the independent heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of Horses, sets out from the valley on Whinney, the horse she tamed. With her is Jondalar, the tall, handsome, yellow-haired man she nursed back to health and came to love. Together they meet the Mamutoi—the Mammoth Hunters—people like Ayla. But to Ayla, who was raised by the Clan of the Cave Bear, they are “the Others.” She approaches them with mixed feelings of fear and curiosity. Talut, a powerful bear of a man with bright red hair, a booming laugh, and a gentle heart, and his tall, dark-haired sister, Tulie, are the leaders of the Lion Camp of the Mamutoi. It is here that Ayla finds her first women friends, but some among the Mamutoi dislike Ayla because she was raised by “flatheads,” their name for the people of the Clan. Ayla is haunted by her memories of the Clan because Rydag, a child of mixed parentage living with the Mamutoi, bears so strong a resemblance to her own son, Durc. It is the Mamutoi master carver of ivory—dark-skinned Ranec, flirtatious, artistic, magnetic—who fascinates Ayla. She finds herself drawn to him. Because of her uncanny control over animals, her healing skills, and the magic firestone she discovered, Ayla is adopted into the Mammoth Hearth by Mamut, the ancient shaman of the Great Earth Mother. Ayla finds herself torn between her strong feelings for Ranec and her powerful love for the wildly jealous and unsure Jondalar. It is not until after the great mammoth hunt, when Ayla’s life is threatened, that a fateful decision is made. This eBook includes the full text of the novel plus the following additional content: • An Earth’s Children® series sampler including free chapters from the other books in Jean M. Auel’s bestselling series • A Q&A with the author about the Earth’s Children® series

Through Russian Snows

There are few campaigns that, either in point of the immense scale upon which it was undertaken, the completeness of its failure, or the enormous loss of life entailed, appeal to the imagination in so great a degree as that of Napoleon against Russia. Fortunately, we have in the narratives of Sir Robert Wilson, British commissioner with the Russian army, and of Count Segur, who was upon Napoleon's staff, minute descriptions of the events as seen by eye-witnesses, and besides these the campaign has been treated fully by various military writers. I have as usual avoided going into details of horrors and of acts of cruelty and ferocity on both sides, surpassing anything in modern warfare, and have given a mere outline of the operations, with a full account of the stern fight at Smolensk and the terrible struggle at Borodino. I would warn those of my readers who may turn to any of the military works for a further history of the campaign, that the spelling of Russian places and names varies so greatly in the accounts of different writers, that sometimes it is difficult to believe that the same person or town is meant, and even in the narratives by Sir Robert Wilson, and by Lord Cathcart, our ambassador at St. Petersburg, who was in constant communication with him, scarcely a name will be found similarly spelt. I mention this, as otherwise much confusion might be caused by those who may compare my story with some of these recognized authorities, or follow the incidents of the campaign upon maps of Russia.

Zanoni

En torno a los años precedentes a la Revolución Francesa, el enigmático conde Zanoni irrumpe en Nápoles dando inicio a una de las historias más controvertidas e intensas que han sido descritas literariamente, y que convirtió a este libro en una de las obras maestras del Romanticismo inglés. El amor, la inmortalidad, la pasión del ángel caído, los hilos ocultos que mueven la historia humana, y la espiritualidad oriental que comenzaba a penetrar en Europa hicieron de esta novela, imbuida de pasión y preguntas inquietantes, una obra con una poderosa fuerza de atracción que marcó el pensamiento y el sentido estético de autores como Nietzsche, Lovecraft o Dickens, calando profundamente en la cultura occidental de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. Zanoni es un relato grandioso envuelto en una belleza trágica y tejido en una red de personajes extraños y desconcertantes, que hacen tambalear muchos de los presupuestos morales e ideas sobre la vida y la muerte que nos permiten entender el mundo. Es uno de esos libros que no dejan indiferente a ningún lector, dejando una huella imborrable.

Number the Stars

The unforgettable Newbery Medal–winning novel from Lois Lowry. As the German troops begin their campaign to "relocate" all the Jews of Denmark, Annemarie Johansen’s family takes in Annemarie’s best friend, Ellen Rosen, and conceals her as part of the family. Through the eyes of ten-year-old Annemarie, we watch as the Danish Resistance smuggles almost the entire Jewish population of Denmark, nearly seven thousand people, across the sea to Sweden. The heroism of an entire nation reminds us that there was pride and human decency in the world even during a time of terror and war. A modern classic of historical fiction, Number the Stars has won generations of fans and continues to speak to today's readers. Jessica Grose wrote in a November 2022 New York Times essay entitled "This Perfect Mother-Daughter Read Holds a Powerful Lesson for Fighting Antisemitism": “Number the Stars is particularly relevant to our family, and to this moment." As School Library Journal put it: "Readers are taken to the very heart of Annemarie's experience, and, through her eyes, come to understand the true meaning of bravery."

Billy Budd

A young sailor in the eighteenth-century Royal Navy is falsely accused of mutiny in this classic tale of good and evil by the celebrated author of Moby Dick. England, 1797. Billy Budd, a young sailor aboard the merchant ship Rights-of-Man is conscripted to serve on a Royal Navy warship, the HMS Bellipotent. Innocent and charming despite his stutter, Billy is quickly accepted by the crew—and resented by the ship's brooding master-at-arms, John Claggart. When Claggart accuses Billy of conspiracy to mutiny, the false charge sets the young innocent on an inescapable path toward tragedy. Herman Melville's final novel, Billy Budd was first published in 1924, more than thirty years after the author's death. A tale of virtue caught in the machinery of law and wartime vigilance, this American classic has been adapted for both stage and screen, and remains one of Melville's most beloved works.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Through Jean M. Auel’s magnificent storytelling we are taken back to the dawn of modern humans, and with a girl named Ayla we are swept up in the harsh and beautiful Ice Age world they shared with the ones who called themselves The Clan of the Cave Bear. A natural disaster leaves the young girl wandering alone in an unfamiliar and dangerous land until she is found by a woman of the Clan, people very different from her own kind. To them, blond, blue-eyed Ayla looks peculiar and ugly—she is one of the Others, those who have moved into their ancient homeland; but Iza cannot leave the girl to die and takes her with them. Iza and Creb, the old Mog-ur, grow to love her, and as Ayla learns the ways of the Clan and Iza’s way of healing, most come to accept her. But the brutal and proud youth who is destined to become their next leader sees her differences as a threat to his authority. He develops a deep and abiding hatred for the strange girl of the Others who lives in their midst, and is determined to get his revenge.

Dom Casmurro

Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (839 – 1908) fue un escritor , considerado por muchos críticos, estudiosos, escritores y lectores el mayor nombre de la literatura brasileña. Machado de Assis dejó una muy amplia obra, fruto de medio siglo de trabajo literario, en la que se contabilizan obras de teatro, poesías, prólogos, críticas, discursos, más de doscientos cuentos y varias novelas. Don Casmurro es una de las obras más conocidas, traducidas y estudiadas de Machado de Assis y da, desde luego, buena fe de la destreza técnica de su autor, y de su capacidad para tratar una trama que podría considerarse trágica, con una ironía y un distanciamiento inconparables. La obra, leída solo como argumento desnudo, podría ser solo una de tantas "novelas de adulterio" que pueblan la literatura decimonónica; pero una vez que se transforma en la novela de Machado de Assis, se convierte en un ejercicio de técnica narrativa que desafía al lector y lo provoca. En esta novela, el lector se podrá comprobar el talento de este excepcional escritor, uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos.

Novels (The Call of the Wild / White Fang)

Jack London was one of the greatest American writers of the early twentieth century. Many of London's books, including The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf, are still widely read by students worldwide. The Call of the Wild is an adventure novel that tells the story of Buck, a dog who gets stolen from his home and sold as a sled dog in Alaska. Buck is forced to adapt to the wild in order to survive. White Fang is a novel that tells the story of a wild wolfdog's journey to domestication. The action is set in the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush and examines how animals view their world as well as how they view humans.

Hornblower in the West Indies

1815. The Napoleonic Wars are over. Yet peace continues to elude Horatio Hornblower overseas . . . As an admiral struggling to impose order in the chaotic aftermath of the French wars, Horatio Hornblower, Commander-in-chief of His Majesty's ships and vessels in the West Indies, must still face savage pirates, reckless revolutionaries and a violent hurricane. And while his retirement at half-pay might well be in sight, Hornblower will need every ounce of his rapier wit and quick thinking - not to mention his courage and leadership - to ensure that the lasting peace in Europe reaches the turbulent seas of the West Indies. This is the tenth of eleven books chronicling the adventures of C. S. Forester's inimitable nautical hero, Horatio Hornblower.

Kane & Abel

Nacidos el mismo día del siglo en partes opuestas del mundo, el destino y la búsqueda de un sueño acaba por hacer que estos dos hombres se crucen. Ambiciosos, poderosos, implacables, ambos se enzarzan en una incansable lucha por construir un imperio, azuzados por el incombustible odio que sienten el uno hacia el otro. Durante más de sesenta años y tres generaciones, entre guerras, matrimonios, golpes de suerte y desastres, Kane y Aben batallan para conseguir un éxito y un triunfo que solo uno de los dos podrá alcanzar. Kane y Abel ha vendido más de 33 millones de copias en todo el mundo en ochenta y cuatro ediciones hasta la fecha. Tal y como el propio Jeffrey Archer comenta en la edición del trigésimo aniversario: «Kane y Abel fue el pistoletazo de salida de mi carrera como escritor, y hasta la fecha sigue siendo el más popular de todos mis libros. Por ese motivo, treinta años después de su publicación, me propuse el reto de reescribirlo, aunque sería más acertado llamar «reelaboración» a la tarea a la que me dediqué durante los siguientes nueve meses, pues a pesar de las numerosas revisiones que llevé a cabo, la trama sigue intacta». «Espero que los lectores pasados sepan apreciar esta edición conmemorativa, y que los nuevos lectores disfruten de su primer encuentro con William Lowell Kane y Abel Rosnovski» - Jeffrey Archer. Jeffrey Archer es un autor y ex-político británico. La carrera política de Archer ha sido turbulenta y le llevó a un veredicto judicial que lo sentenció a prisión en 2001. Archer debutó como escritor en 1974 y desde entonces ha escrito numerosos libros, principalmente thrillers políticos. Actualmente es uno de los autores más exitosos del Reino Unido con más de 320 millones de libros vendidos en todo el mundo.

Retrato en sepia

Narrada en la voz de una joven mujer, ésta es una magnífica novela histórica, y una portentosa saga familiar en la que reencontramos algunos personajes de Hija de la fortuna y de La casa de los espíritus, novelas cumbres en la obra de Isabel Allende. En el Chile del siglo XIX, Aurora del Valle sufre un trauma brutal que borra de su mente los primeros cinco años de su vida. Criada por su ambiciosa abuela, Paulina del Valle, crece en un ambiente privilegiado, libre de muchas de las limitaciones que oprimen a las mujeres de su época pero atormentada por horribles pesadillas. Cuando debe afrontar la traición del hombre al que ama y la soledad, Aurora decide explorar el misterio de su pasado. Reseña: «Una epopeya de los grandes sentimientos: tragedia esperanzada, fábula moral, esbozo de una familia y apunte de un país. En definitiva, un gran libro.» Ramón Ventura, El Periódico

Captain Corelli's Mandolin

**AS SEEN ON BBC BETWEEN THE COVERS** 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION - WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR 'A true diamond of a novel, glinting with comedy and tragedy' Daily Mail It is 1941 and Captain Antonio Corelli, a young Italian officer, is posted to the Greek island of Cephallonia as part of the occupying forces. At first he is ostracised by the locals but over time he proves himself to be civilised, humorous – and a consummate musician. When Pelagia, the local doctor's daughter, finds her letters to her fiancé go unanswered, Antonio and Pelagia draw close and the working of the eternal triangle seems inevitable. But can this fragile love survive as a war of bestial savagery gets closer and the lines are drawn between invader and defender? 'Louis de Bernières is in the direct line that runs through Dickens and Evelyn Waugh...he has only to look into his world, one senses, for it to rush into reality, colours and touch and taste' Evening Standard

The power and the Glory

This prize-winning novel of a fugitive priest in Mexico is quite simply “Graham Greene’s masterpiece” (John Updike, The New York Review of Books). In the Mexican state of Tabasco in the 1930s, all vestiges of Catholicism are being outlawed by the government. As churches are razed, icons are banned, and the price of devotion is execution, an unnamed member of the clergy flees. He’s known only as the “whisky priest.” Beset by heretical vices, guilt, and an immoral past, he’s torn between self-destruction and self-preservation. Too modest to be a martyr, too stubborn to follow the law, and too craven to take a bullet, he now travels as one of the hunted—attending, in secret, to the spiritual needs of the faithful. When a peasant begs him to return to Tabasco to hear the confessions of a dying man, the whisky priest knows it’s a trap. But it’s also his duty—and possibly his salvation. Named by Time magazine as one of the hundred best English-language novels written since 1923, The Power and the Glory is “a violent, raw” work on “suffering, strained faith, and ultimate redemption” (The Atlantic).

The Plains of Passage

Ayla, the heroine first introduced in The Clan of the Cave Bear, is known and loved by millions of readers. Now, in The Plains of Passage, Ayla’s story continues. Ayla and Jondalar set out on horseback across the windswept grasslands of Ice Age Europe. To the hunter-gatherers of their world--who have never seen tame animals--Ayla and Jondalar appear enigmatic and frightening. The mystery surrounding the woman, who speaks with a strange accent and talks to animals with their own sounds, is heightened by her uncanny control of a large, powerful wolf. The tall, yellow-haired man who rides by her side is also held in awe, not only for the magnificent stallion he commands, but also for his skill as a crafter of stone tools, and for the new weapon he devises, the spear-thrower. In the course of their cross-continental odyssey, Ayla and Jondalar encounter both savage enemies and brave friends. Together they learn that the vast and unknown world can be difficult and treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful and enlightening as well. All the pain and pleasure bring them closer to their ultimate destination, for the orphaned Ayla and the wandering Jondalar must reach that place on earth they can call home. As sweeping and spectacular as the land she creates, Jean M. Auel’s The Plains of Passage is an astonishing novel of discovery, danger, and love, a triumph for one of the world’s most original and popular authors. This eBook includes the full text of the novel plus the following additional content: • An Earth’s Children® series sampler including free chapters from the other books in Jean M. Auel’s bestselling series • A Q&A with the author about the Earth’s Children® series

Their Eyes Were Watching God

The rediscovery of Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, first published in 1937 but subsequently out-of-print for decades, marks one of the most dramatic chapters in African-American literature and Women's Studies. Its popularity owes much to the lyricism of the prose, the pitch-perfect rendition of black vernacular English, and the memorable characters--most notably, Janie Crawford. Collecting the most widely cited and influential essays published on Hurston's classic novel over the last quarter century, this Casebook presents contesting viewpoints by Hazel Carby, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Barbara Johnson, Carla Kaplan, Daphne Lamothe, Mary Helen Washington, and Sherley Anne Williams. The volume also includes a statement Hurston submitted to a reference book on twentieth-century authors in 1942. As it records the major debates the novel has sparked on issues of language and identity, feminism and racial politics, A Casebook affirms the classic status of the novel and charts new directions for future critics.

Ben-Hur

Ben-Hur es una novela del escritor Lewis Wallace, publicada por primera vez el 12 de noviembre de 1880, que relata la historia del joven Jud� Ben Hur y sus peripecias en un mundo en que se gesta una nueva fe. Se han hecho varias versiones f�lmicas de la novela, las dos m�s importantes son las dirigidas por Fred Niblo en 1925, William Wyler en 1959...R�sumen : La historia de Ben-Hur est� dividida en ocho grandes partes, cada una con sus respectivos cap�tulos en donde se explica la trama de manera cronol�gica y continua.Primera parte[editar]La primera parte describe los acontecimientos de la Natividad, con un foco especial sobre los Reyes Magos del este. En la escena de apertura, Baltazar, un egipcio, monta un camello que se detiene en un cierto punto del desierto, donde �l establece una tienda. Otros dos hombres llegan al mismo lugar al cabo de unas horas. Uno es Melchor, un hind�, y el otro es Gaspar, un griego de Atenas.Cada uno de los tres hombres cuenta su historia y comprenden que han sido juntados por su objetivo com�n de buscar soluci�n a los problemas mundiales. Tras mucho orar, se les promete que ver�n al hijo de Dios, el Salvador del mundo.Esa noche, cuando ellos se disponen para el viaje, una estrella radiante brilla sobre la regi�n, y ellos lo toman como un signo de que deben marcharse. Siguen la estrella, y la cabeza sobre el desierto hacia la provincia de Judea.Biografia : Lewis (Lew) Wallace (Brookville (Indiana), 10 de abril de 1827-Crawfordsville (Indiana), 15 de febrero de 1905) fue un abogado, militar, pol�tico, diplom�tico y escritor estadounidense. Obtuvo el rango de general luchando en el ej�rcito de la Uni�n durante la Guerra de Secesi�n. Fue gobernador del Territorio de Nuevo M�xico (1878-1881) y ministro plenipotenciario en el Imperio Otomano (1881-1885). Pero su fama le vino mayormente por ser el autor de Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880), un exitoso libro desde el mismo momento de su publicaci�n. Las versiones cinematogr�ficas de Fred Niblo (1925) y William Wyler (1959) tuvieron tambi�n un enorme �xito, ayudando a popularizar a�n m�s la historia.Wallace era hijo de David Wallace (1799-1859) y Esther French Test. Su padre era graduado de la Academia Militar de los Estados Unidos en West Point,1 y fue vice-gobernador y gobernador de Indiana (1831-1837). El abuelo materno de Lew fue el juez de distrito y congresista John Test. Cuando David Wallace fue elegido vice-gobernador se desplaz� con su familia a Covington. La autobiograf�a de Lew contiene algunas historias de su infancia, incluyendo el relato de la muerte de su madre ocurrida en 1833. Su padre volvi� a casarse en 1836, con Zerelda Gray Sanders, una prominente sufragista y defensora de la abstinencia al alcohol, quien pas� a convertirse en madrastra de los muchachos. En 1846, al iniciarse la Guerra contra M�xico, Wallace estaba estudiando Derecho. Lo dej� para reclutar una compa��a de milicianos y fue nombrado segundo teniente en el 1.er Regimiento de Infanter�a de Indiana. Ascendi� al cargo de ayudante de regimiento con el rango de primer teniente y pas� a servir en el ej�rcito de Zachary Taylor, aunque �l, personalmente, no particip� en combate.2 Tras el cese de hostilidades fue licenciado del servicio voluntario el 15 de junio de 1847...Extracto : Dos horas sigui� avanzando el dromedario, siempre con el mismo trote sostenido ydirigi�ndose al este. En todo ese tiempo el viajero no cambi� de posici�n, ni mir� a laderecha ni a la izquierda. En el desierto la distancia no se mide por millas o leguas, sinopor el saat, u hora, y el manzil, o parada; tres leguas y media forman el primero; quince oveinticinco forman la segunda, y son la media normal del camello com�n. Un animal depura estirpe siria puede hacer tres leguas f�cilmente. A toda velocidad alcanza a losvientos ordinarios.Como resultado del r�pido avance, el aspecto del panorama sufri� un cambio. El Jebelse extend�a por el horizonte..

The Remains of the Day

Inglaterra, julio de 1956. Stevens, el narrador, durante treinta años ha sido mayordomo de Darlington Hall. Lord Darlington murió hace tres años, y la propiedad pertenece ahora a un norteamericano. El mayordomo, por primera vez en su vida, hará un viaje. Su nuevo patrón regresará por unas semanas a su país, y le ha ofrecido al mayordomo su coche que fuera de Lord Darlington para que disfrute de unas vacaciones. Y Stevens, en el antiguo, lento y señorial auto de sus patrones, cruzará durante días Inglaterra rumbo a Weymouth, donde vive la señora Benn, antigua ama de llaves de Darlington Hall. Y jornada a jornada, Ishiguro desplegará ante el lector una novela perfecta de luces y claroscuros, de máscaras que apenas se deslizan para desvelar una realidad mucho más amarga que los amables paisajes que el mayordomo deja atrás. Porque Stevens averigua que Lord Darlington fue un miembro de la clase dirigente inglesa que se dejó seducir por el fascismo y conspiró activamente para conseguir una alianza entre Inglaterra y Alemania. Y descubre, y también el lector, que hay algo peor incluso que haber servido a un hombre indigno?

Roots

Based off of the bestselling author's family history, this novel tells the story of Kunta Kinte, who is sold into slavery in the United States where he and his descendants live through major historic events. When Roots was first published forty years ago, the book electrified the nation: it received a Pulitzer Prize and was a #1 New York Times bestseller for 22 weeks. The celebrated miniseries that followed a year later was a coast-to-coast event-over 130 million Americans watched some or all of the broadcast. In the four decades since then, the story of the young African slave Kunta Kinte and his descendants has lost none of its power to enthrall and provoke. Now, Roots once again bursts onto the national scene, and at a time when the race conversation has never been more charged. It is a book for the legions of earlier readers to revisit and for a new generation to discover. To quote from the introduction by Michael Eric Dyson: "Alex Haley's Roots is unquestionably one of the nation's seminal texts. It affected events far beyond its pages and was a literary North Star.... Each generation must make up its own mind about how it will navigate the treacherous waters of our nation's racial sin. And each generation must overcome our social ills through greater knowledge and decisive action. Roots is a stirring reminder that we can achieve these goals only if we look history squarely in the face." The star- studded cast in this new event series includes Academy Award-winners Forest Whitaker and Anna Paquin, Laurence Fishburne, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Derek Luke, Grammy Award-winner Tip "T.I." Harris, and Mekhi Phifer. Questlove of The Roots is the executive music producer for the miniseries's stirring soundtrack.

Sunshine sketches of a little town

Affectionately combining both the idyllic and ironic, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town is a colourful, imaginative, and thoroughly entertaining portrait of small town Ontario. This is Stephen Leacock at his best. Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, which first appeared as a newspaper serial, chronicles life in the fictional community of Mariposa, modelled on Orillia, Ontario, where Stephen Leacock spent many summers. It's a brilliant satire about small towns, small-town people, and small-town occurrences. Life in Mariposa is never dull or ordinary. It's a town full of eccentrics, where boats sent to rescue passengers from a sinking steamer have to be rescued themselves, where the leading citizen is a 280-pound illiterate saloonkeeper, and where a barber who stumbles into a fortune is heralded as a financial wizard.
