The chilling cry survives in historical consciousness largely as a result of this classic 1722 account of the epidemic of bubonic plague known as the Black Death that ravaged England in 16641665.Actually written nearly 60 years later by Daniel Defoe, the Journal is narrated by a Londoner named \"H. F.,\" who allegedly lived through the devastating effects of the pestilence and produced this eye witness account. Drawing on his considerable talents as both journalist and novelist, Defoe reconstructed events both historically and fictionally, incorporating realistic, memorable details that enable the novel to surpass even firsthand accounts in its air of authenticity. This verisimilitude is all the more remarkable since Defoe was only five years old when the actual events took place. Long a staple of college literature courses, A Journal of the Plague Year will fascinate students, teachers, and general readers alike.", "author": "Daniel Defoe", "slug": "a-journal-of-the-plague-year-113797-9780486115238-daniel-defoe", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486115238.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113797", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113797/a-journal-of-the-plague-year-113797-9780486115238-daniel-defoe", "bisac_codes": [ "FIC004000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486419190", "EISBN13": "9780486115238", "EISBN10": "0486115232" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026192316" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113796", "attributes": { "name": "The Moon and Sixpence", "subtitle": "", "description": "\"Witty, compelling.\" The Boston Globe.

D. H. Lawrence's compelling account of two couples' search for romantic fulfillment is steeped in an edgy eroticism bordering on violence. The literary world reacted with shock upon its 1921 publication: nearly a century later, the novel's psychological penetration continues to captivate readers.Women in Love reintroduces two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, who initially appeared in Lawrence's previous novel, The Rainbow (1915). Ursula's relationship with Rupert Birkin, an introspective and misanthropic school inspector, is contrasted with that of Gudrun and Gerald Crich, an overbearing industrialist. Set in a coal-mining town in the English Midlands, their stories explore the disastrous effects of industrialization on the psyche and suggest that rebirth can be achieved only through emotional intensity.Composed at the height of the author's powers, Women in Love is the novel that Lawrence considered his masterpiece (the characters of Rupert and Ursula are widely regarded as Lawrence's depiction of himself and his wife, Frieda).

Swann's Way, the first volume, introduces the novel's major themes and its unnamed narrator, an introspective man drawn, in his youth, to fashionable society, like the author himself. Through his narrator's consciousness, Proust offers readers a comprehensive portrait of the high society of Paris from the 1870s through the First World War.Swann's Way begins with the narrator's reminiscences of early childhood including, famously, his evocative memory of eating a pastry called a madeleine and his fascination with what seemed the separate worlds of his family's various neighbors and acquaintances. He then turns his focus to the wealthy connoisseur Charles Swann and his obsessive relationship with the vulgar but radiant courtesan Odette, chronicling in detail the milieu in which it is enacted and its unfortunate effects on him.Du cote de chez Swann first appeared in 1913. It is a bitingly satiric, often comic evocation of French society that addresses a range of philosophical questions about perception, memory, desire, art, family, and politics.

His reputation was diminished by his preoccupation with metaphysical themes and allegorical techniques in later works; and by the time of his death, his books were long forgotten. Generations later, Melville's readers recognized his work as keenly satirical and rich in elements that prefigured the emergence of existentialism and Freudian psychology.Melville's critical fortunes temporarily rebounded in the early to mid-1850s, with the favorable reception of his contributions to Harper's and Putnam'stwo of the era's leading monthly magazines. This collection features fourteen of his works of short fiction from that periodmost prominently, \"The Encantadas or Enchanted Isles.\" This series of descriptive sketches, a reminiscence from Melville's sailor days, reveals the ecologically pristine Galapagos Islands as both enchanting and horrifying. The other stories showcase the author's mastery of a diverse range of writing styles. \"The Lightning-Rod Man\" demonstrates his deftness at Dickensian comedy, and \"The Piazza\" anticipates his subsequent absorption with poetry. \"The Paradise of Bachelors and the Tartarus of Maids,\" with its incisive contrast of upper-class frivolity with the desperate lives of factory workers, offers a moving portrait of social inequality. These rediscovered tales by a writer who was ahead of his time provide a captivating blend of artistry and cultural commentary.", "author": "Herman Melville", "slug": "the-encantadas-and-other-stories-113781-9780486115405-herman-melville", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486115405.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113781", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113781/the-encantadas-and-other-stories-113781-9780486115405-herman-melville", "bisac_codes": [ "FIC004000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486440842", "EISBN13": "9780486115405", "EISBN10": "0486115402" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026190350" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113782", "attributes": { "name": "Discourse on Method and Meditations", "subtitle": "", "description": "Is it possible to be certain of anything?

The father of modern philosophy and the founder of rational method in philosophical thought, Rene Descartes (15961650) sought the answers to these questions and in doing so, addressed the most important of methods of thinking and understanding truth. In Discourse on Method, he applies a scientific approach to philosophy that comprises four principles: to accept only what reason recognizes as \"clear and distinct\"; to analyze complex ideas by dividing them into smaller elements; to reconstruct the ideas; and to make accurate and complete enumerations of the data. His Meditations proceed according to this method, exploring the mind/body distinction, the nature of truth and error, the existence of God, and the essence of material things.", "author": "René Descartes, Elizabeth S.

The author's witty and astute observations elevate her tales of parties, gossip, and romance into matters of captivating drama, offering an evocative portrait of everyday life in the towns and countryside of Regency England. Austen's premature death at the age of forty-two curtailed her legacy, and her devotees have eagerly read and re-read her handful of books. This collection features two of her unfinished novels, an often overlooked pair of gems that enrich our appreciation of Austens storytelling gifts.These writings first appeared posthumously, when Austen's nephew included the texts in an 1871 memoir of his celebrated relative. The Watsons unfolds in a familiar domestic milieu, in which a spirited heroine finds her marriage opportunities narrowed by poverty and pride. In contrast, Sanditon ventures into markedly different territory. Set at a seaside resort, among a cast of hypochondriacs and speculators, it suggests that Austen's work might have taken some unexpected new directions. Even if these incomplete stories had been of little intrinsic value, they would have been of interest as literary records and curiosities. As it happens, they are of high quality and worthy of reading for their own sake, for pleasure as well as study.", "author": "Jane Austen", "slug": "sanditon-and-the-watsons-113778-9780486115436-jane-austen", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486115436.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113778", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113778/sanditon-and-the-watsons-113778-9780486115436-jane-austen", "bisac_codes": [ "FIC004000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486457932", "EISBN13": "9780486115436", "EISBN10": "0486115437" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026196913" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113777", "attributes": { "name": "Self-Reliance and Other Essays", "subtitle": "", "description": "Essayist, poet, and philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882) propounded a transcendental idealism emphasizing self-reliance, self-culture, and individual expression.

Jacobs writes frankly of the horrors she suffered as a slave, her eventual escape after several unsuccessful attempts, and her seven years in self-imposed exile, hiding in a coffin-like \"garret\" attached to her grandmother's porch.A rare firsthand account of a courageous woman's determination and endurance, this inspirational story also represents a valuable historical record of the continuing battle for freedom and the preservation of family.", "author": "Harriet Jacobs", "slug": "incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl-113776-9780486115467-harriet-jacobs", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780486115467.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "113776", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/113776/incidents-in-the-life-of-a-slave-girl-113776-9780486115467-harriet-jacobs", "bisac_codes": [ "LCO002010", "SOC001000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780486419312", "EISBN13": "9780486115467", "EISBN10": "0486115461" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010026191903" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000113775", "attributes": { "name": "Norse Mythology", "subtitle": "Great Stories from the Eddas", "description": "Rooted in an oral tradition, fantastic sagas of Norse mythology found their way into print seven centuries ago, in documents known as the Eddas.
