    Considered by many as one of the finest novels in the English language, The Portrait of a Lady is both a dramatic Victorian tale of betrayal and a wholly modern psychological study of a woman caught in machinations she only comes to understand too late. This new edition usefully tracks the major textual changes James made for his New York Edition. Intro -- Contents -- Introduction -- Note on the Text -- Select Bibliography -- A Chronology of Henry James -- THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY -- Explanatory Notes.

    "Virginia Woolf completed Melymbrosia in 1912 when she was thirty years old. The story concerned the emotional and sexual awakening of a young English woman traveling abroad, and bristled with social commentary on issues as varied as homosexuality, the suffrage movement, and colonialism. Warned by colleagues that publishing an outspoken indictment of Britain could prove disastrous to her fledgling career, Woolf revised the novel extensively, omitting much of the political candor. In 1915, the quieter book was published as Woolf's first novel under the title The Voyage Out."--BOOK JACKET.

    Writing of Samrat Upadhyay's debut story collection, critics raved: "like a Buddhist Chekhov . . . speak[s] to common truths . . . startlingly good" (San Francisco Chronicle) and "subtle and spiritually complex" (New York Times). Upadhyay's first novel showcases his finest writing and his signature themes. The Guru of Love is a moving and important story -- important for what it illuminates about the human need to love as well as lust, and for the light it shines on the political situation in Nepal and elsewhere. Ramchandra is a math teacher earning a low wage and living in a small apartment with his wife and two children. Moonlighting as a tutor, he engages in an illicit affair with one of his tutees, Malati, a beautiful, impoverished young woman who is also a new mother. She provides for him what his wife, who comes from a privileged background, does not: desire, mystery, and a simpler life. Complicating matters are various political concerns and a small city bursting with the conflicts of modernization, a static government, and a changing population. Just as the city must contain its growing needs, so must Ramchandra learn to accommodate both tradition and his very modern desires. Absolutely absorbing yet deceptively simple, this novel cements Upadhyay's emerging status as one of our most exciting new writers Front Cover -- Inside Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Half Title -- Books by Samrat Upadhyay -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Acknowledgments -- 1. -- 2. -- 3. -- 4. -- 5. -- 6. -- 7. -- 8. -- 9. -- 10. -- 11. -- 12. -- 13. -- Epilogue

    "From now on," Ruby says to her friend, the narrator, "We're going on the Stone Age diet. It means we only eat the sort of healthy things our ancestors would have eaten. Raw grains and fruits and stuff like that. That's what our bodies are made for." An admirable plan, but Ruby never eats, and the narrator's attention span doesn't lend itself to routine. He's too busy pining for his ex-girlfriend Cis, who broke up with him and left him with self-pity and a plant: an Aphrodite Cactus that, when it flowers, is supposed to seal the love of the giver to the receiver, according to Ruby. Ruby, who never wears any shoes (even in the dead of winter). Though lovelorn and lonely, the narrator's life is rich with myth, demons, werewolves, gods and goddesses; everything is imbued with a spirit. There's Helena, goddess of electric guitar players; Ascanazl, an ancient and powerful Inca spirit who looks after lonely people; Shumash the sun god; the war and sexuality goddess Astarte; the muse Clio. In fact the only thing stronger and more sustaining than the narrator's fantasy life is his friendship with Ruby—the kind of friendship a body is made for Ruby and the Stone Age Diet

    When fourteen-year-old Carson Fielding bought his first horse from Magnus Yarborough, it became clear that the teenager was a better judge of horses than the rich landowner was of humans. Years later, Carson, now a skilled and respected horse trainer, grudgingly agrees to train Magnus's horses and teach his wife to ride. But as Carson becomes disaffected with the power-hungry Magnus, he also grows more and more attracted to the rancher's wife, and their relationship sets off a violent chain of events that unsettles their quiet reservation border town in South Dakota. Thrown into the drama are Earl Walks Alone, an Indian trying to study his way out of the reservation and into college, and Willi, a German exchange student confronting his family's troubled history. In this unforgettable story of horses, love, and life, Carson and the entire ensemble of characters learn, in very different ways, about the strong bonds that connect people to each other and to the land on which they live Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Praise forThe WORK of WOLVES -- Half Title -- Also by Kent Meyers -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Prologue -- Part One BEHIND LOSTMAN'S LAKE -- The Careful Indian -- A Fall -- Trespassing -- The Rememberer -- The Old House -- An Agreement -- Equilibriums -- Horses and Men -- Hers -- Part Two The PHILOSOPHY of Broke -- Angle of Spin -- Part Three ROBBING and STEALING -- Mining Blame -- The Lights of Koblenz -- The Silent Indian -- Substitutes for Speech -- Well of Life -- Stacking Hay -- Conversion -- Manifold -- How to Seduce White Girls -- Goat Man Forms -- Part Four GOAT MAN -- Sightings -- Trying to Go Blind -- Beadwork -- Gradations of Intimacy -- Ruination -- Dogs and Spirits -- Nine Hundred an Acre -- A Thing Unsaid -- A Thing Decided -- Another Option -- Abraham and Isaac -- The Badlands -- The Work of Wolves -- Fire and Ice -- The Invisible Cop -- Another Fire -- Wild, Freed -- A Moment of What Remains -- Some Set of Vectors -- Wind -- Back Matter -- Acknowledgments
