An Inspector Montalbano Mystery

With their dark sophistication and dry humor, Andrea Camilleri’s 

hugely popular Sicilian crime novels continue to win more and 

more fans in America. 

The day after a storm, Inspector Montalbano encounters a 

strange woman who expresses interest in a certain yacht scheduled 

to dock that afternoon. Not long after she’s gone, the yacht’s crew 

reports finding a disfigured corpse. Also at anchor is a luxury 

vessel with a somewhat shady crew. Both boats will have to stay 

in Vigàta until the investigation is over, and based on information 

from the woman, Montalbano begins to think the occupants 

of the yacht might know more about the murder than they’re 

letting on.

Not Working 

People Talk About Losing a Job and 

Finding Their Way in Today’s 

Changing Economy 

DW Gibson 

Inspired by Studs Terkel’s Working, DW Gibson set off on a journey 

across the United States to interview Americans who have lost 

their jobs. Here is the mortgage broker who arrived at work to find 

the door to his office building padlocked, the human resources 

executive who laid off a couple hundred people before being laid 

off herself, the husband who was laid off two weeks after his wife 

learned she was pregnant, the wife who was forced to lay off her 

husband. 

In telling the stories of people who could be our neighbors, 

our friends, our relatives, Not Working holds up a mirror to our 

times, showing us the individuals behind the unemployment statistics—their 

fears and hopes—and offering a map for navigating 

our changing economy. With an extraordinary mix of pathos, anger, 

solidarity, and humor, it brings clarity—and humanity—to the 

national conversation.

Willpower 

Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength 

Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney 

Pioneering research psychologist Roy F. Baumeister 

collaborates with New York Times science writer John 

Tierney to revolutionize our understanding of the 

most coveted human virtue: self-control. Drawing on 

cutting-edge research and the wisdom of real-life experts, 

Willpower shares lessons on how to focus our strength, 

resist temptation, and redirect our lives. It shows readers 

how to be realistic when setting goals, monitor their 

progress, and keep faith when they falter. By blending 

practical wisdom with the best of recent research science, 

Willpower makes it clear that whatever we seek—from 

happiness to good health to financial security—we won’t 

reach our goals without first learning to harness selfcontrol. 

Roy f. BaumeisteR directs 

the social psychology program at Florida 

State University and has written more than 

450 scientific publications. He lives in 

Tallahassee, Florida. 

John tieRney writes the “Findings” 

science column for the New York Times and 

is the author of two previous books. He lives 

in Brooklyn, New York. 

“ [An] accessible, empirically 

grounded guide . . . offers no shortage of 

helpful strategies to compensate for weakness 

of will.” —The Wall Street Journal 

“ Helpful for those who are trying to make 

and keep resolutions.” —Publishers Weekly 

“ Willpower (the thing) lies at the curious 

intersection of science and behavior. 

Willpower (the book) lies at the intersection 

of Roy Baumeister, an extraordinarily creative 

scientist, and John Tierney, a phenomenally 

perceptive journalist. Ignore it at your 

peril.” —Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of

From Willpower: 

Acquiring self-control isn’t as magically simple as the techniques 

in modern self-help books, but neither does it have to be as grim 

as the Victorians made it out to be. Ultimately, self-control lets 

you relax because it removes stress and enables you to conserve 

willpower for the important challenges. We’re confident that 

this book’s lessons can make your life not just more productive 

and fulfilling but also easier and happier.

On Canaan’s Side 

A Novel 

Sebastian Barry 

Winning glowing tributes from reviewers and celebrated 

novelists such as Colm Toíbín, Joseph O’Neill, and Helen 

Simonson, Sebastian Barry’s extraordinary fifth novel 

returns to the Dunne family and confirms his place as one 

of the most remarkable writers of our time. 

On Canaan’s Side opens as the eighty-five-year-old 

Irish émigré Lilly Bere mourns the loss of her grandson 

Bill. Lilly, the daughter of a Dublin policeman, revisits 

her eventful life, going back to the moment she was 

forced to flee Ireland at the end of the First World War. 

She continues her tale in America, where—far from her 

family—she first tastes the sweetness of love and the bitterness 

of betrayal. 

seBastian BaRRy lives with his 

wife and three children in Wicklow, Ireland. 

“ Barry [is] the greatest prose writer in Irish 

letters—which by definition makes him 

the greatest writer of prose in the 

English language.” —Allen Barra, 

The Daily Beast “Must Reads” 

“ A novel with so many twists and killings and 

cases of mistaken identity that were it not 

for Lilly’s musical language it might be 

mistaken for a thriller.” —Rachel Nolan, 

The New York Times Book Review 

“ The play of history as it most intimately affects 

individual human lives . . . is on exquisitely 

touching display.” 

—The Philadelphia Inquirer 

“ On Canaan’s Side is written with vast 

sympathy and tenderness. . . . 

It is also fully alert to the power and irony 

of history.” —Colm Tóibín

Moscow, Tokyo, and Seoul. 

A lavish tribute to the men and women whose glorious 

style continues to inspire him, The Sartorialist II—like its 

predecessor—will be the season’s must-have fashion book.

Michael Wood 

The village of Kibworth in Leicestershire lies at the very center of 

England. It has an ancient church, some pubs, the Grand Union 

Canal, a First World War memorial—and many centuries of recorded 

history. Enlisting the villagers—who dug test pits in their 

backyards in search of Roman pottery, who were DNA tested to 

examine their Viking origins, and who offered up their collections 

of photos and documents—and using the extensive archives of the 

village housed at Merton College Oxford, historian Michael Wood 

tells the incredible story of the village over two thousand years. 

This is a people’s history of England told through the history of 

one small community.

people to take with him. He lists his doctor and maids, his 

dog and his wife’s sister, but he doesn’t list any of his own 

sisters. The four Freud sisters are shuttled to the Terezín 

concentration camp, while their brother lives out his last 

days in London. 

Based on a true story, this searing novel gives haunting 

voice to Freud’s sister Adolfina—“the sweetest and best of 

my sisters”—a gifted, sensitive woman who was spurned 

by her mother and who never married. From her closeness 

with her brother in childhood, to her love for a fellow 

student, to her time with Gustav Klimt’s sister in a Vienna 

psychiatric hospital, to her dream of one day living in 

Venice and having a family, Freud’s Sister imagines the life 

of a woman lost to the shadows of history with astonishing 

insight and deep feeling.

A note from the author: 

The silence around Adolfina Freud is so loud that I 

could write this novel in no other way than in her voice. 

The well-known facts of Sigmund Freud’s life were 

like scenery, or like the walls of a labyrinth in which I 

wandered for years, trying to find the corridors where 

I could hear Adolfina’s voice so I could write it down, 

and in this way rescue in fiction one of the many lives 

forgotten by history.

JOHN LE CARRé 

Call for the Dead 

A George Smiley Novel 

George Smiley is no one’s idea of a spy—which is 

perhaps why he’s such a natural. But Smiley apparently 

made a mistake. After a routine security interview, he 

concluded that the affable Samuel Fennan had nothing 

to hide. Why, then, did the man from the Foreign Office 

shoot himself in the head only hours later? Or did he? 

The heart-stopping tale of intrigue that launched 

both novelist and spy, Call for the Dead is an essential 

introduction to le Carré’s chillingly amoral universe. 

A Murder of Quality 

A George Smiley Novel 

John le Carré’s second novel, A Murder of Quality, offers 

an exquisite, satirical look at an elite private school as it 

chronicles the early development of George Smiley. 

Miss Ailsa Brimley is in a quandary. She’s received 

a peculiar letter from Mrs. Stella Rode, saying that 

she fears her husband—an assistant master at Carne 

School—is trying to kill her. Reluctant to go to the police, 

Miss Brimley calls upon her old wartime colleague, 

George Smiley. Unfortunately, it’s too late. Mrs. Rode 

has just been murdered. As Smiley takes up the investigation, 

he realizes that in life—as in espionage—nothing 

is quite what it appears. 

John le CaRRé, the author of 

twenty-two novels, is the pseudonym for 

David Cornwell, who was a member of the 

British Foreign Service from 1959 to 1964. 

Many of his books have been made into films, 

including The Constant Gardener; The Russia 

House; The Little Drummer Girl; and Tinker, 

Tailor, Soldier, Spy. 

Praise for Call for the Dead: 

“ A subtle and acute story of counterespionage 

marked by restraint, indirection, 

and intelligence.” 


“ Brilliant. Realistic. Constant suspense . 

. . excellent writing.” —The Observer (London) 

“ Thrilling . . . makes most cloak-anddagger 

stuff taste of cardboard.” 

—Sunday Telegraph (London) 

Praise for A Murder of Quality: 

“ Beautifully intelligent, satiric, and 

witty.” —Daily Telegraph (London) 

“ Vastly entertaining.”

The End 

The Defiance and Destruction of Hitler’s Germany, 1944–1945 

Ian Kershaw 

Countless books have been written about why Nazi Germany 

lost the Second World War, yet remarkably little attention has 

been paid to the equally vital questions of how and why the Third 

Reich did not surrender until Germany had been left in ruins and 

almost completely occupied. Drawing on prodigious new 

research, award-winning historian and author of Fateful Choices 

Ian Kershaw explores these fascinating questions in a gripping 

and focused narrative that begins with the failed bomb plot in 

July 1944 and ends with the death of Adolf Hitler and the German 

capitulation in 1945. The End paints a harrowing yet enthralling 

portrait of the Third Reich in its last desperate gasps.

Your Medical Mind 

How to Decide What Is Right for You 

Jerome Groopman, MD, and 

Pamela Hartzband, MD 

Making the right medical decisions is harder than ever. We’re 

overwhelmed by information from all sides—whether our doctors’ 

recommendations, dissenting experts’ opinions, confusing statistics, 

or testimonials on the Internet. Now Dr. Jerome Groopman, 

author of the New York Times bestselling How Doctors Think, 

and Dr. Pamela Hartzband reveal that each of us has a “medical 

mind,” a highly individual approach to weighing the risks and 

benefits of treatment. Are you a minimalist or a maximalist, a believer 

or a doubter, or do you look for natural healing or the latest 

technology? The authors weave vivid narratives of real patients, 

with insights from recent research, to demonstrate the power of 

the medical mind. After reading this groundbreaking book, you’ll 

know how to arrive at choices that serve you best.

ROALD DAHL 

My Uncle Oswald 

Children and adults alike adore the dark humor that pervades 

such Roald Dahl classics as Charlie and the Chocolate 

Factory and Fantastic Mr. Fox. Yet the celebrated author 

sometimes followed his imagination down a much more 

risqué path. 

Showcasing this lesser-known side of Dahl’s celebrated 

genius, My Uncle Oswald is the unapologetically racy 

memoir of Oswald Hendryks Cornelius—bon vivant, collector 

of spiders, and undoubtedly the greatest fornicator 

of all time. 

Switch Bitch 

Great wit, melancholy, and lust pervade this collection of 

four adult short stories by Roald Dahl. Included here are 

“The Visitor” and “Bitch,” featuring the hilariously vivid 

exploits of the notorious Uncle Oswald, as well as “The 

Great Switcheroo” and “The Last Act.” 

In these taut black comedies of human weakness and 

unexpected reversal, Dahl captures the delicious thrill of 

sexual triumph and the galling deflation of defeat. 

RoalD Dahl (1916–1990) was born in 

Wales to Norwegian parents. He is best known 

for the children’s novels James and the Giant 

Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The 

Witches, Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Matilda. 

Praise for My Uncle Oswald: 

“ A festival of bad taste that is at heart so 

innocent that we soon forgive it and enjoy 

ourselves.” —Christopher Lehmann-Haupt 

Praise for Switch Bitch: 

“ Somewhere this or the other side of 

pornography.” —The New Statesman (London)

Breaking the Silence of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” 

Josh Seefried 

From Josh Seefried, cofounder of OutServe, the first social 

network to connect active duty LGBT service members, comes a 

book that captures a defining chapter in the history of the modern 

military. Our Time relates the firsthand accounts of those men 

and women who enlisted knowing that the service would demand 

them to bury an integral part of themselves. The stories of the 

abuse and hardship endured by these soldiers astound, and yet 

there are also remarkable moments of humanity, friendship, and 

connection. Our Time celebrates the special bravery of those 

who chose to defend their country while their own freedom was 

withheld.

The Quest 

Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World 

Daniel Yergin 

A master storyteller as well as a leading energy expert, 

Daniel Yergin continues the riveting story begun in his 

Pulitzer Prize–winning book, The Prize. In The Quest, 

Yergin shows us how energy is an engine of global, political, 

and economic change and conflict, in a story that spans the 

energies on which our civilization has been built and the 

new energies that are competing to replace them. 

The Quest tells the inside stories, tackles the tough 

questions, and reveals surprising insights about coal, electricity, 

and natural gas. He explains how climate change 

became a great issue and leads readers through the rebirth 

of renewable energies, energy independence, and the 

return of the electric car. Epic in scope and never more 

timely, The Quest vividly reveals the decisions, technologies, 

and individuals that are shaping our future. 

Daniel yeRgin is one of the 

most influential voices on energy in the 

world and a highly respected authority on 

international politics and economics. He lives 

in Washington, D.C. 

“ An even better book [than The Prize] . . . 

impartial and alarmingly up to date. The 

Quest will be necessary reading for 

CEOs, conservationists, lawmakers, generals, 

spies, tech geeks, thriller writers . . . and many 

others.” —The New York Times 

“ [A] sprawling story richly textured with 

original material, quirky details, and amusing 

anecdotes.” —The Wall Street Journal 

“ [An] important book . . . a valuable primer 

on the basic issues that define energy today.” 

— Fareed Zakaria, The New York Times 

Book Review 

“ This is the one book you must 

read to understand the future of our 

economy and our way of life.” 

—Walter Isaacson, author of 

Steve Jobs and president and CEO of 

The Aspen Institute

From The Quest: 

The renewed uncertainty and insecurity about energy, 

and the anticipation of deeper crisis, underscores a 

fundamental reality—how important energy is to the 

world. 

This book tries to explain that importance. It is 

the story of the quest for the energy on which we so 

completely rely, for the position and rewards that accrue 

from energy, and for the security it affords. It is about 

how the modern energy world developed, about how 

concerns about climate and carbon are changing it, and 

about how different the energy world may be tomorrow.

The Kitchen Counter Cooking School 

How a Few Simple Lessons Transformed Nine Culinary Novices into Fearless Home Cooks 

Kathleen Flinn 

Recent Le Cordon Bleu graduate Kathleen Flinn watched 

a woman load her grocery cart with expensive, ultra-processed 

foods and asked her why. The answer was simple: 

She didn’t know how to cook. Inspired, Flinn persuaded 

the stranger and eight other “hopeless” cooks to let her 

teach them the basic cooking skills and easy recipes they 

needed to have confidence in the kitchen. 

What Not to Wear meets Michael Pollan’s bestselling 

books, The Kitchen Counter Cooking School will inspire 

ordinary Americans to return to their kitchens—definitely 

proving that you don’t have to be a domestic goddess or 

spend a lot of money to enjoy healthy, delicious, homemade 

meals. 

kathleen flinn’s work has 

appeared in the Chicago Tribune, USA 

Weekend, Men’s Fitness, and many other 

publications. She divides her time between 

Seattle, Washington, and southwest Florida. 

“ An engaging . . . book on the joys of home 

cooking and the teaching thereof.” 

—The Wall Street Journal 

“ This could be the most important book 

you’ll ever read.” —Morgan Spurlock, creator 

of Super Size Me 

“ Many people want to improve the way 

Americans eat. But few are as brave and 

open-minded as Kathleen Flinn.” 

—Amanda Hesser, coauthor of The Food52 

Cookbook: 140 Winning Recipes from 

Exceptional Home Cooks 

“ Flinn guides you patiently into the kitchen like 

the mom you always wish you’d learned to cook 

from. . . . Wonderfully encouraging.”

The Better Angels of Our Nature 

Why Violence Has Declined 

Steven Pinker

peaceful moment in our species’ existence. In his 

gripping and controversial new work, New York 

Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows that 

despite the ceaseless news about war, crime, and 

terrorism, violence has actually been in decline over 

long stretches of history. Exploding myths about 

humankind’s inherent violence and the curse of 

modernity, this ambitious book continues Pinker’s 

exploration of the essence of human nature, mixing 

psychology and history to provide a remarkable picture 

of an increasingly enlightened world. 

steven PinkeR is a two-time 

Pulitzer Prize finalist and the winner of 

many honors for his research, teaching, and 

books. He has been named one of TIME’s 

100 most influential people in the world

Thinkers. He is a professor of psychology 

at Harvard University and lives in Boston, 

Massachusetts.

Columbus 

The Four Voyages, 1492–1504 

Laurence Bergreen 

A New York Times bestseller and the first full biography 

of Christopher Columbus in sixty years, Columbus takes 

a vital and provocative approach to understanding 

the extraordinary man who went looking for China 

and bumped into a new world. Prizewinning author 

Laurence Bergreen brings to life all four of Columbus’s 

epic transatlantic journeys, showing us as never before 

the masterful seaman and ambitious entrepreneur who 

became a slaver, encouraged genocide, and changed the 

course of world history forever before ending his life 

broken in body and spirit. Based on Columbus’s personal 

journals and correspondence, as well as eyewitness 

accounts, this will be the defining portrait of Columbus 

for years to come. 

lauRenCe BeRgReen is the 

prizewinning author of numerous acclaimed 

works of nonfiction, including Over the 

Edge of the World: Magellan’s Terrifying 

Circumnavigation of the Globe, Marco Polo: 

From Venice to Xanadu, and Capone: The 

Man and the Era. He lives in New York City. 

“ Laurence Bergreen’s Columbus was brilliant, 

audacious, volatile, paranoid, and ruthless. 

. . . [A] worthy addition to the 

literature on Columbus.” 


“ Columbus: The Four Voyages is complex in 

its themes, intriguing in its substance, and 

sparkling with surprises.” 

—The Washington Times

From Columbus: 

[A]s the voyages grew in complexity and sophistication, 

and as Columbus failed to reconcile his often violent 

experiences as a captain and provincial governor with 

the demands of his faith, he become progressively less 

rational and more extreme, until it seemed as if he lived 

more in his glorious illusions than in the grueling reality 

his voyages laid bare. If the first voyage illustrates the 

rewards of exploration, the three subsequent voyages 

illustrate the costs—political, moral, and economic.

Murder in the

A Verlaque and Bonnet Mystery 

M. L. Longworth 

Aix-en-Provence is renowned for its lavender, wine—and murders. 

When M. L. Longworth debuted her charming mystery series 

featuring the crime-solving duo of Judge Antoine Verlaque and 

his on-again, off-again girlfriend, law professor Marine Bonnet, 

she won rave reviews and fans eager for their next adventure. 

Murder in the Rue Dumas finds Verlaque stumped. The director 

of theology at the Université d’Aix was just about to name the 

recipient of an elite fellowship, as well as his own successor, when 

his lips were sealed permanently. Yet Verlaque isn’t convinced 

that any of the academics are capable of murder. Aided by Bonnet, 

Verlaque turns Provence upside down, uncovering a world far 

more complicated than university politics.

A Novel 

Stefan Kiesbye 

The village of Hemmersmoor is a place untouched by time and 

shrouded in superstition: There is the grand manor house whose 

occupants despise the villagers, the small pub whose regulars talk 

of revenants, the old mill no one dares to mention. This is where 

four young friends come of age—in an atmosphere thick with fear 

and suspicion. Their innocent games soon bring them face-toface 

with the village’s darkest secrets in this eerily dispassionate, 

astonishingly assured novel, evocative of Stephen King’s classic 

short story “Children of the Corn” and infused with the spirit of 

the Brothers Grimm.

American Nations 

A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America 

Colin Woodard 

According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin 

Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, 

each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations, 

he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured 

continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on 

American identity, and how the conflicts between them have 

shaped our past and are molding our future. From the Deep South 

to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard reveals how 

each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and 

identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition 

of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of 

presidential elections.

Praise for Debora Greger: 

“ An exemplary Greger 

poem occurs to the ear as 

a striking painting does to

its composition emerge

—Harvard Review 

An artful, compelling new collection from 

“a special poet in every sense” (Poetry) 

By Herself 

Debora Greger 

The poems in Debora Greger’s new book journey from Florida to 

England to Venice, finding in the byways and accidents of travel 

the ghostly presences that mark the poet’s passage from youth 

half-forgotten to the edge of old age: the younger self that, like 

some heroine in Henry James, she catches glimpses of and barely 

recognizes; the long-dead poets unable to sleep, with things still 

on their mind. The elegies threaded through this mature, startling 

book recognize life moving toward the shadows—these are poems 

of old responsibilities and new virtues, looking back as a way of 

looking forward. 


DeBoRa gRegeR is the author of eight previous books of 

poems. She has won, among other honors, the Grolier Prize, the Discovery/ 

The Nation Award, the Lavan Younger Poets Award, an Award in Literature 

from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, and the 

Brandeis University Award in Poetry. She lives in Florida and in Cambridge,

Praise for William Logan’s previous collection, 

Strange Flesh: 

“ A hard-boiled formalist with a redoubtable 

aptitude for tersely fastidious diction and 

sinewy prosody whipped into fighting trim. 

. . . [Logan] can hold his own with just about 

anyone in vivisecting the vanity of human 

wishes with a savage aplomb.” 

— David Barber, The New York Times 

Book Review 


Strange Flesh 978-0-14-311446-8 $18.00 

A new collection by one of our 

foremost masters of free verse 

as well as formal poetry 

Madame X 

William Logan 

The moody poems in Madame X, William Logan’s tenth collection, 

find their subjects in the byways of the past two centuries. 

Henry James visits his birthplace, the most beautiful woman in 

Europe ends up in a barrel at a fun fair, and a minor writer succumbs 

to tuberculosis at a German spa. In the title poem, a portrait 

of Madame X offers our century a lesson in seduction—but 

such public shows are balanced by poems of private desire, of the 

whispers of age, of the present always vanishing before us. These 

densely figured poems, rich in language and appointment, argue 

for a knowledge not sustained by the everyday. This is a triumphant 

collection of shimmering intensities and hard truths. 

William logan has published ten volumes of poetry 

and five volumes of essays and poetry, including The Undiscovered 

Country, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 

criticism. He lives in Gainesville, Florida, and Cambridge, England.

Civilization 

The West and the Rest 

Niall Ferguson 

The global ascendancy of Western civilization is the single 

most important historical phenomenon of the past five 

centuries. How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? 

And has the zenith of Western power now passed? In 

Civilization, acclaimed historian and author of The Ascent 

of Money Niall Ferguson chronicles the rise and fall of 

empires alongside the clashes of civilizations, recasting 

the history of the world with verve and wit. 

Ferguson argues that beginning in the fifteenth century, 

the West developed powerful “killer applications,” 

including competition, science, and the rule of law, which 

allowed it to surpass the Rest and dominate the world 

economy. But the age of Western predominance may be 

ending in our time. Boldly argued and teeming with memorable 

characters, Civilization is Ferguson at his very best. 

niall feRguson is one of 

Britain’s most renowned historians. He is 

the bestselling author of numerous books, 

including High Financier and The Ascent 

of Money. He divides his time between the 

United States and the United Kingdom. 

“ Written with vitality and verve . . . a tour de 

force.” —The Boston Globe 

“ A dazzling history of Western ideas that 

sets out to provide the reader with epic 

answers.” —The Economist 

“ A pulsing energy suffuses [Ferguson’s] 

account. . . . Fascinating facts burst like 

fireworks on every page.” 

—The Sunday Times (London) 

“ This is sharp. It feels urgent. Ferguson, 

with a properly financially literate mind, 

twists his knife with great literary brio.” 

—Financial Times

The Shortest Way Home 

A Novel 

Juliette Fay 

Sean Doran has spent twenty years in third-world war 

zones and natural disaster areas, fully embracing what he’d 

always felt was his purpose: to do as much good as possible. 

But when burnout sets in, Sean finds himself reluctantly 

drawn home to Belham, Massachusetts, the setting of 

Juliette Fay’s much-loved Shelter Me. There, he discovers 

that his steely elderly aunt, dramatic sister, and quirky 

nephew are having a little natural disaster of their own, and 

that midlife romance gets complicated fast when the high 

school queen bee is involved. But it’s an old friend —the 

class wallflower—who has Sean wondering if his destiny 

is about to be rewritten all over again, in another perfect 

serving of a slice of life from the irresistible Fay. 

Juliette fay earned her BA from 

Boston College and an MA from Harvard 

University. She lives in Massachusetts with 

her husband and four children.

William Kennedy 

When journalist Daniel Quinn meets Ernest Hemingway in a bar 

in Havana in 1957, he has no idea that this encounter will radically 

change his life overnight. So begins William Kennedy’s latest 

novel—a riotous, breathtaking tale of revolutionary intrigue, 

heroic journalism, crooked politicians, drug-running gangsters, 

and the improbable rise of Fidel Castro. From the nightclubs and 

jungles of Cuba to the newsrooms and racially charged streets of 

Albany on the day Robert F. Kennedy is shot in 1968, it is an epic 

journey that will bring Quinn and his exotic but unpredictable 

Cuban wife, Renata, face-to-face with the darkest facets of human 

nature—and the illuminating power of love in the face of death.

The Best of the Rumpole Stories 

John Mortimer 

Introduction by Ann Mallalieu 

John Mortimer—novelist, playwright, memoirist, and the author 

of more than eighty Rumpole short stories—will never be forgotten. 

While still a practicing barrister, Mortimer took up the pen, 

and the rest is literary history. His stories featuring the cigarchomping, 

cheap-wine-tippling Horace Rumpole and his wife,

The Confidant 

A Novel 

Hélène Grémillon 

Translated by Alison Anderson 

Paris, 1975. Camille sifts through letters of condolence 

after her mother’s death when a strange, handwritten 

missive stops her short. At first she believes she received 

it by mistake. But then, a new letter arrives each week 

from a mysterious stranger, Louis, who seems intent on 

recounting the story of his first love, Annie. They were 

separated in the years before World War II when Annie 

befriended a wealthy, barren couple and fell victim to a 

merciless plot just as German troops arrive in Paris. But 

also awaiting Camille’s discovery is the other side of the 

story, which will call into question Annie’s innocence 

and reveal the devastating consequences of jealousy and 

revenge. As Camille reads on, she begins to realize that 

her own life may be the next chapter in this tragic story. 

Part historical drama, part suspense novel, The 

Confidant is a stunning debut novel that will captivate 

readers of Sarah’s Key, Suite Française, and The Guernsey 

Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

From The Confidant: 

When I opened the first letters of condolence, my tears 

falling on my hands reminded me of Maman’s, and I let 

them fall, to see where they might have gone, the tears 

of this woman I had loved so much. [. . .] Every evening 

I divided the envelopes into two piles: on the right those 

that had the sender’s name on the envelope, and on the left 

those that didn’t. And all I did was open the pile on the 

left and jump immediately to the signature to see who had 

written to me and who I would have to thank. In the end I 

didn’t thank a lot of people and nobody held it against me. 

Death forgives such lapses of courtesy. 

The first letter from Louis was in the pile on the left. 

The envelope caught my attention even before I opened it: 

it was much thicker and heavier than the others. It was 

not the usual format for a letter of condolence. 

It was handwritten, several pages long, unsigned.

Widely and enthusiastically acclaimed, this is the authorized,

relatively obscure American diplomat—wrote the “long telegram” 

and the “X” article. These two documents laid out United States’ 

strategy for “containing” the Soviet Union—a strategy which Kennan 

himself questioned in later years. Based on exclusive access to 

Kennan and his archives, this landmark history illuminates a life 

that both mirrored and shaped the century it spanned.

How It All Began 

A Novel 

Penelope Lively 

When an elderly woman is mugged on a London street, the 

event begins a series of mishaps that ripple across the lives of 

acquaintances and strangers alike. A marriage falls apart after an 

illicit love affair is revealed through an errant cell phone message; 

a financially strapped interior designer meets a business partner 

who might prove too good to be true; an old-guard historian tries 

to recapture his youth with an ill-conceived idea for a television 

miniseries; and a middle-aged central European immigrant learns 

English and reinvents his life with the assistance of some new 

friends. 

Through a richly conceived cast of characters, Penelope Lively 

explores the powerful role of chance in human affairs and deftly 

illustrates how our paths can be altered irrevocably by someone 

we will never even meet.

An Intimate Life 

Lisa Chaney 

The little black dress, sunglasses, costume jewelry, the pantsuit. 

Like the fashions she pioneered, Coco Chanel has never gone out 

of style. And while there are many biographies of the fashion icon, 

only Lisa Chaney’s restores Chanel to her rightful place as the 

charismatic figure who not only revolutionized women’s dress, 

but helped forge the very idea of a modern woman. 

Chaney chronicles Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s astonishing 

life—her rise from penniless orphan to Parisian grande dame, her 

liasions with some of the century’s most celebrated artists, her notorious 

war years, and her descent into drugs. Drawing on a range 

of never-before-seen documents—including letters from Arthur 

“Boy” Capel, the love of her life and the man behind her early 

business success—Chaney brilliantly disentangles the truth from 

Chanel’s own carefully cultivated myths.

Cabin 

Two Brothers, a Dream, and Five Acres in Maine 

Lou Ureneck 

Inspired by Lou Ureneck’s popular New York Times blog, “From 

the Ground Up,” Cabin is a moving and resonant account of two 

brothers building their way to the far end of middle age, and of 

the need to root oneself in a place one can call home. City bound 

for a decade, attempting to recover from a string of personal 

setbacks, and needing a project that would put him back in life’s 

good graces, Ureneck decided to build a small cabin in the hills of 

western Maine with his younger brother, Paul. Cabin is filled with 

insights into the richness and complexity of family relationships, 

the satisfaction of physical labor, and the pleasure and emotional 

healing that comes from being in nature.

“ Riveting . . . a double-barreled salvo that 

hits two bull’s-eyes.” —The New York 


Verdi’s Shakespeare 

Men of the Theater 

Garry Wills 

This dazzling study of the three operas that Giuseppe Verdi 

adapted from Shakespeare’s plays takes readers on a wonderfully 

engaging journey through opera, music, literature, history, and 

the nature of genius. Verdi’s Shakespeare explores the writing 

and staging of Macbetto (Macbeth), Otello (Othello), and Falstaff, 

operas by Verdi, an Italian composer who could not read a word of 

English but who adored Shakespeare. Delving into the fast-paced 

worlds of these men and the hands-on life of the stage that at once 

challenged them and gave flight to their brilliance, Wills, in his 

inimitable way, illuminates the birth of artistic creation. 

n A Booklist Editor’s Choice Pick 


“ [Wills’s] detailed depictions of the operas’ subtleties, 

sublimely rendered for opera fans, endlessly 

elucidate the work of these ‘creative volcanoes.’ ” 


“ Scholarly yet personable.” 

—Booklist (starred review) 

“ Wonderfully illuminating. . . . No lover of 

Verdi—or Shakespeare, for that matter—will want to miss it.” 

—Opera News 

gaRRy Wills has written almost forty acclaimed and bestselling 

works, including his recent memoir, Outside Looking In. A frequent 

contributor to the New York Review of Books and a professor emeritus at 

Northwestern University, he lives in Evanston, Illinois.

Socrates 

A Man for Our Times 

Paul Johnson 

As Plutarch observed, Socrates “was the first person to demonstrate 

that life is open to philosophy at all times, in every part, 

among all kinds of people, and in every experience and activity.” 

This brilliant biography of Socrates by renowned historian Paul 

Johnson situates the father of philosophy in the fifth-century bc 

Athens that he loved, delving into the geopolitics of the time, his 

service as a soldier, his wide range of acquaintances, and the civic 

unrest that led to Socrates’ trial and death. A fresh and fascinating 

portrait of the thinker who believed questioning and education 

were the keys to a virtuous life, this book proves that Socrates is 

as relevant as ever. 

n Paul Johnson’s recent biography Churchill was a New York Times 

bestseller 


Paul Johnson is an acclaimed historian whose many 

bestsellers have been translated into dozens of languages. He 

has written for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and 

Forbes, among other publications. He lives in London.

Penguin ClassiCs 

Because what you read matters. 

For sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, providing 

readers with a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. We focus on 

bringing together the best of the past and the future, using cutting-edge design and production as well as embracing the 

digital age to create unforgettable editions of treasured literature. Penguin Classics is timeless and trendsetting. Whether 

you love our familiar black-spine series, our Penguin Classics Deluxe Editions, or our Penguin Enriched eBook Classics, 

we bring the writer to the reader in every format available. 

Highlights from the Penguin Classics Fall 2012 List 

This season’s titles bring out the best in our mission as we add noteworthy new Classics to 

the Penguin shelves. 

Our fall lineup begins with our award-winning Penguin Classics Deluxe series: Joseph Conrad’s Heart of 

Darkness features fantastic illustrated cover art by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, and a new introduction by 

Adam Hochschild, author of the critically acclaimed King Leopold’s Ghost. Enriched features previously available 

only in the eBook edition are now also included. Not to be outdone, the best of Malory’s Arthurian legends retold 

by Peter Ackroyd charges forth in one fast-paced, action-packed deluxe edition of The Death of King Arthur 

with a spectacular illustrated cover by Stuart Kolakovic. 

For the centennial of the great Brazilian author Jorge Amado’s birth, we are publishing for the first time in 

English The Discovery of America by the Turks, a spirited novella about Arab immigrants coming to South 

America, with a new introduction by Nobel Prize winner José Saramago, and simultaneously, The Double 

Death of Quincas Water-Bray, a comic masterpiece with a new introduction by Rivka Galchen. Both English 

translations of these Brazilian classics are by the National Book Award–winner Gregory Rabassa. 

A landmark essay for the LGBT community affirming the importance of coming out, Merle Miller’s On Being 

Different makes its Penguin Classics debut. Dan Savage, cocreator of the It Gets Better project, contributes a 

foreword, and historian Charles Kaiser provides an afterword to Miller’s poignant, thought-provoking work. 

As the country revs up for another election year, Eleanor Roosevelt, the most influential First Lady in American 

history, offers a battle cry for civil rights in the book she willed herself to stay alive to complete, Tomorrow Is 

Now. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton contributes a foreword and scholar Allida Black provides an in-depth 

introduction in time for the fiftieth anniversary of Roosevelt’s death. 

In 1962, John Steinbeck published Travels with Charley in Search of America and received the Nobel Prize in 

Literature. For the fiftieth anniversary, we are publishing a beautiful deluxe edition of Travels and a black-spine 

Portable John Steinbeck with a new introduction by Susan Shillinglaw and Steinbeck’s Nobel acceptance speech 

in which was impelled “to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.”

JORGE AMADO 

The Double Death of 

Quincas Water-Bray 

Translated by Gregory Rabassa 

Introduction by Rivka Galchen 

Widely considered the greatest work by the foremost Brazilian 

author of the twentieth century, The Double Death of Quincas 

Water-Bray comes to Penguin Classics in a new translation by 

the dean of Portuguese-language translators, Gregory Rabassa. 

It tells the story of Joaquim Soares da Cunha, who drops dead 

after he abandons his life of upstanding citizenship to assume 

the identity of Quincas Water-Bray, a “champion drunk” and 

bum who is whisked along on a postmortem journey that climaxes 

in his loss at sea. 

The Discovery of 

America by the Turks 

Translated by Gregory Rabassa 

Foreword by José Saramago 

Published here for the first time in English in a brilliant translation 

by the peerless Gregory Rabassa, The Discovery of America 

by the Turks is a whimsical Brazilian take on The Taming of 

the Shrew that will remind readers why Jorge Amado is to 

Portuguese-American literature what Jorge Luis Borges is to 

Spanish-American literature. It follows the adventures of two 

Arab immigrants—“Turks,” as Brazilians call them—who arrive 

in the rough Brazilian frontier in 1903 and become involved in a 

merchant’s farcical attempt to marry off his shrew of a daughter. 

Praise for The Double Death of Quincas 

Water-Bray: 

“ Swift, funny, and occasionally even slapstick.” 

—Rivka Galchen, from the Introduction 

Praise for The Discovery of America by the Turks: 

“ Delightful . . . A wonder of the art of 

narration [by] the voice, the feeling, and the joy 

of Brazil.” —José Saramago, from the Foreword 

JoRge amaDo (1912–2001) was born in the state of Bahia, Brazil, 

whose society he portrays in such acclaimed novels as Gabriela, Clove and 

Cinnamon and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands. 

gRegoRy RaBassa is a National Book Award–winning translator 

whose English-language versions of works by Julio Cortázar, Mario Vargas 

Llosa, and Gabriel García Márquez have become classics in their own right. 

He lives in New York City. 

Rivka galChen is one of the New Yorker’s “20 Under 40” 

fiction writers and the author of the award-winning novel Atmospheric 

Disturbances. A contributing editor at Harper’s Magazine, she lives in New 

York City. 

José saRamago (1922–2010) was a Nobel Prize–winning 

Portuguese writer whose many novels include All the Names and Blindness.

JOHN STEINBECK 

The Portable 

Steinbeck 

Edited by Pascal Covici, Jr. 

Introduction by Susan Shillinglaw 

It would be impossible to overstate John Steinbeck’s 

enduring influence on American letters. Profuse with a 

richness of language, sly humor, and empathy for even 

his most flawed characters, Steinbeck’s books are still 

widely read and deeply relevant today. 

The Portable Steinbeck is a grand sampling of his 

most important and popular works. Here are the complete 

novels Of Mice and Men and The Red Pony, together 

with self-contained excerpts from several longer 

novels, the text of his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 

and a fascinating introduction by Pascal Covici, Jr., son 

of Steinbeck’s longtime editor. 

Travels with Charley 

in Search of America 

Introduction by Jay Parini 

At age fifty-eight, John Steinbeck and his poodle, 

Charley, embarked on a journey across America. This 

chronicle of their trip meanders from small towns to 

growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Still evocative 

and awe-inspiring after fifty years, Travels with 

Charley in Search of America provides an intimate look 

at one of America’s most beloved writers in the later 

years of his life—a self-portrait of a man who never 

wrote an explicit autobiography. Written during a time 

of upheaval and racial tension in the South—which 

Steinbeck witnessed firsthand—Travels with Charley 

is a stunning evocation of America on the eve of a tumultuous 

decade. 

“ A writer who does not passionately 

believe in the perfectibility of 

man has no dedication nor any 

membership in literature.” 

—John Steinbeck, from his 

Nobel Prize acceptance speech 

John steinBeCk (1902–1968) was born in Salinas, California, 

and died in New York City. 

PasCal CoviCi, JR. (1930–1997) was the E. A. Lilly Professor of 

English at Southern Methodist University. 

susan shillinglaW is a professor of English and the director of

On Being Different 

What It Means To Be a Homosexual 

Merle Miller 

Foreword by Dan Savage 

Afterword by Charles Kaiser 

Originally published in 1971, Merle Miller’s On Being Different is 

a pioneering and thought-provoking book about being homosexual 

in the United States. Just two years after the Stonewall riots, 

Miller wrote a poignant essay for the New York Times Magazine 

entitled “What It Means To Be a Homosexual” in response to a 

homophobic article published in Harper’s Magazine. Described as 

“the most widely read and discussed essay of the decade,” it carried 

the seed that would blossom into On Being Different—one of 

the earliest memoirs to affirm the importance of coming out.

Something to 

Remember Me By 

Three Tales 

Saul Bellow 

Introduction by Nicole Krauss 

While Saul Bellow is known best for his longer fiction in awardwinning 

novels such as The Adventures of Augie March and 

Herzog, Something to Remember Me By will draw new readers to 

Bellow as it showcases his extraordinary gift for creating memorable 

characters within a smaller canvas. 

The loss of a ring in A Theft helps an oft-married woman understand 

her own wisdom and capacity for love. In The Bellarosa 

Connection, Harry Fonstein has escaped from Nazi brutality 

with the help of an underground organization masterminded by 

the legendary Broadway impresario Billy Rose. In the title story, 

seventeen-year-old Louie—whose mother is dying of cancer— 

strays far from home and finds not solace but humiliation and, 

ultimately, the blessing of his father’s wrath. 

n Includes a foreword by the author 

n Bellow was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the Nobel 

Prize in Literature in the same year (1976) 

n He is the only author to have received three National Book Awards and

works of literature, including Seize the Day, The Adventures of Augie 

March, The Victim, Herzog, and Humboldt’s Gift. He taught at the

Introduction by Allida Black 

Foreword by Bill Clinton 

As relevant and influential now as it was in 1962, Tomorrow Is 

Now is Eleanor Roosevelt’s manifesto and her final effort to move 

America toward the community she hoped it would become. In 

bold, blunt prose, the most influential First Lady in American 

history traces the country’s struggle to embrace democracy and 

presents her declaration against fear, timidity, complacency, and 

national arrogance. An open, unrestrained look into her mind 

and heart as well as a clarion call to action, Tomorrow Is Now is 

the work Eleanor Roosevelt willed herself to stay alive to finish 

writing. For this edition, former U.S. President Bill Clinton 

contributes a new foreword and Roosevelt historian Allida Black 

provides an authoritative introduction focusing on Eleanor 

Roosevelt’s diplomatic career.

Tottel’s Miscellany 

Songs and Sonnets of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey,

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Amanda Holton 

and Tom MacFaul 

Songs and Sonnets (1557), the first printed anthology of English 

poetry, was immensely influential in Tudor England and inspired 

many major Elizabethan writers, including Shakespeare. Collected 

by pioneering publisher Richard Tottel, it brought poems 

of the aristocracy—verses of friendship, war, politics, death, and 

love—into common readership for the first time. The major poets 

of King Henry VIII’s court, Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, 

Earl of Surrey, were first printed in the volume. Wyatt’s intimate 

poem about lost love that begins, “They flee from me, that sometime 

did me seek,” and Surrey’s passionate sonnet “Complaint of 

a lover rebuked” are joined here by a range of intriguingly anonymous 

poems from the Tudor era that are both moral and erotic, 

intimate and universal.

Henry Chettle, Thomas Kyd, 

John Marston, Thomas Middleton, 

and William Shakespeare 

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Emma Smith 

As the Elizabethan era gave way to the reign of James I, England 

grappled with corruption within the royal court and widespread 

religious anxiety. Dramatists responded with morally complex 

plays of dark wit and violent spectacle, exploring the nature of 

death, the abuse of power, and vigilante justice. This anthology 

presents five crucial tragedies of the era collected together for 

the first time, including Shakespeare’s 1603 version of Hamlet 

and Middleton’s The Revenger’s Tragedy, a ferocious satire that 

reflects the mounting disillusionment of the age. 

The introduction by Shakespeare scholar Emma Smith explores 

the political and religious climate behind the plays, as well as 

their dramatic conventions.

Philosophical writings on “the good life” 

by the great Roman orator, in a vital new 

translation 

On Living and Dying Well 

Marcus Tullius Cicero 

Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Thomas Habinek 

In the first century bc, Marcus Tullius Cicero, Roman orator, 

statesman, and defender of republican values, created these philosophical 

treatises on such diverse and trenchant topics as friendship, 

religion, death, fate, and scientific inquiry. This lucid and 

lively new translation renders the great Roman’s writings accessible 

to modern readers as never before. Cicero was a pragmatist at 

heart, but his philosophies were frequently personal and ethical, 

drawn not from abstract reasoning but from careful observation 

of the world. The resulting work reminds us of the importance of 

social ties, the question of free will, and the justification of creative 

endeavor. 

n New translation 

n Includes entirely new notes relating the selections to broader themes of literature, 

history, and philosophy 

n The second book in a three-volume series updating Cicero’s works 

maRCus tullius CiCeRo (106–43 BC) produced a 

large number of works on the theory and practice of rhetoric, on religion, 

and on moral and political philosophy before being put to death.

Born Wicked 

The Cahill Witch Chronicles: Book One 

Jessica Spotswood 

Everybody knows Cate Cahill and her sisters are eccentric. Too 

pretty, too reclusive, and far too educated for their own good. 

But the truth is even worse: They’re witches. And if their secret 

is discovered by the priests of the Brotherhood, it would mean an 

asylum, a prison ship—or an early grave. 

Then Cate finds her mother’s diary and uncovers a secret that 

could spell her family’s destruction. Desperate to find alternatives 

to their fate, Cate starts scouring banned books and questioning 

rebellious new friends, all while juggling tea parties, shocking 

marriage proposals, and a forbidden romance with the completely 

unsuitable Finn Belastra. But if what her mother wrote is true, the 

Cahill girls aren’t safe—not even from each other. 

n Visit jessicaspotswood.com and facebook.com/cahillwitchchronicles 


JessiCa sPotsWooD lives in Washington, D.C., with 

her playwright husband and a cuddly cat named Monkey. She’s 

never happier than when she’s immersed in a good story, and 

swoony kissing scenes are her favorite.
