Dwelling Place

Winner of the Bancroft Prize. "[A] beautifully conceived and penetrating book . . . one of the finest studies of American slavery ever written."—The New Republic Published some thirty years ago, Robert Manson Myers's Children of Pride: The True Story of Georgia and the Civil War won the National Book Award in history and went on to become a classic reference on America's slaveholding South. That book presented the letters of the prominent Presbyterian minister and plantation patriarch Charles Colcock Jones (1804–1863), whose family owned more than one hundred slaves. While extensive, these letters can provide only one part of the story of the Jones family plantations in coastal Georgia. In this remarkable new book, the religious historian Erskine Clarke completes the story, offering a narrative history of four generations of the plantations' inhabitants, white and black. Encompassing the years 1805 to 1869, Dwelling...

Winner Take Nothing

Ernest Hemingway's first new book of fiction since the publication of "A Farewell to Arms" in 1929 contains fourteen stories of varying length. Some of them have appeared in magazines but the majority have not been published before. The characters and backgrounds are widely varied. "A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" is about an old Spanish Beggar. "Homage to Switzerland" concerns various conversations at a Swiss railway-station restaurant. "The Gambler, the Nun, and the Radio" is laid in the accident ward of a hospital in Western United States, and so on.

To Have and Have Not

Ernest Hemingway's biting commentary about life in the United States in the 1930s, To Have and Have Not is one of only two of Hemingway's books set in the U.S. Harry Morgan is a good man forced by financial circumstances into smuggling Chinese immigrants from Cuba to Florida after his fishing-charter customer, Mr. Johnson, leaves him in Cuba without paying his fare. Originating from two short stories, " One Trip Across" and " The Tradesman's Return," To Have and Have Not employs multiple narrators, telling the story from various viewpoints, providing differing opinions and giving an inside view into those who " have" and those who " have not." The Times Literary Supplement observed, "Hemingway's gift for dialogue, for effective understatement, and for communicating such emotions the tough allow themselves, has never been more conspicuous."

The Torrents of Spring

Ernest Hemingway's novella The Torrents of Spring examines writers and their way of life. Released in 1926, the same year as The Sun Also Rises, the entertaining story of Yogi Johnson and Scripps O'Neill is often overlooked in favour of the Nobel Prize winner's later works.
