“A simply remarkable book. Robin Oliveira brings the Civil War era vividly alive with a heroine no reader will ever forget.” —Ron Rash, author of Serena
Mary Sutter is a brilliant young midwife who dreams of becoming a surgeon. Eager to run away from recent heartbreak, Mary travels to Washington, D.C., to help tend the legions of Civil War wounded. Under the guidance of two surgeons, who both fall unwittingly in love with her, and resisting her mother’s pleas to return home to help with the difficult birth of her twin sister’s baby, Mary pursues her medical career against all odds. Rich with historical detail—including cameo appearances by Abraham Lincoln and Dorothea Dix, among others—My Name Is Mary Sutter is certain to be recognized as one of the great novels about the Civil War.
“Think of Mary Sutter as a northern Scarlett O’Hara without the man-killer good looks or feminine wiles. . . . [Oliveira] peels back Mary’s vulnerable, human side in this intriguing slice of Civil War history.” —USA Today
“A vivid, dramatic novel about love, medicine, and the Civil War, My Name Is Mary Sutter features an indomitable, memorable heroine whom the reader will root for until the very end.” —David Ebershoff, author of The 19th Wife and The Danish Girl
“A riveting saga.” —Good Housekeeping Suggested order
“A compulsively readable historical tale about Mary Sutter, a young midwife and aspiring physician making her way through Lincoln’s war—a new iconic American heroine.” —Janice Y. K. Lee, author of The Piano Teacher

“Brunetti is a marvel: smart, cultured, and dedicated to his work.” —The Washington Post
Commissario Guido Brunetti longs to escape the crowds of tourists and oppressive heat of Venice in August. But before he can join his family on holiday in the mountains, a folder containing court records lands on his desk. An old friend suspects a sinister motive behind a local court’s notorious inefficiency. Meanwhile, Brunetti’s colleague, Inspector Lorenzo Vianello, is concerned about his aunt’s sudden— and expensive—interest in astrology and enlists the commissario’s help. Just when it seems Brunetti will be able to make his getaway, a brutal crime shocks the city and he forces himself to shake off the heat and get down to work.
“Leon’s many fans love this series for the Venetian setting, the complex family dynamics, and the hero’s mix of melancholy and compassion, and in this nineteenth installment, they get all of the above.” —Bill Ott, Booklist (starred review)
“Leon creates such a rich sense of place that reading often feels like a slow vaporetto ride through the swelteringly humid canals of Venice, past splendid bridges and palazzi with time out for tramezzini and rich Italian coffee.” —The Boston Globe

“An engrossing, thoughtfully researched, and tautly written account of a critical chapter in American history.” —Los Angeles Times
With a fantastic body of work that includes In the Heart of the Sea and Pulitzer Prize finalist Mayflower, Nathaniel Philbrick has emerged as a historian with a unique ability to bring history to life. The Last Stand is Philbrick’s monumental reappraisal of the epochal clash at the Little Bighorn in 1876 that gave birth to the legend of Custer’s Last Stand. Bringing a wealth of new information to his subject, as well as his charac- teristic literary flair, Philbrick details the collision between two American icons—George Armstrong Custer and Sitting Bull—that both parties wished to avoid, and brilliantly explains how the battle that ensued has been shaped and reshaped by national myth.
“The Last Stand makes it clear that Mr. Philbrick has done a prodigious amount of research . . . and he’s woven it all into an evocative and cinematic narrative.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
“A carefully historical account that is also a ripping good yarn.” —The Wall Street Journal

“A succinct, lucid and compelling account . . . Essential reading.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Renowned economist Nouriel Roubini electrified the financial community by predicting the current crisis before others in his field saw it coming. This myth-shattering book reveals the methods he used to foretell the current crisis and shows how those methods can help us make sense of the present and prepare for the future. Using an unconventional blend of historical analysis with masterful knowledge of global economics, Nouriel Roubini and Stephen Mihm, a journalist and professor of economic history, present a vital and timeless book that proves calamities to be not only predictable but also preventable and, with the right medicine, curable.

“Luca Spaghetti is not only one of my favorite people in the world, but also a natural-born storyteller. . . . This [is a] marvelous book.” —Elizabeth Gilbert
When Luca Spaghetti (yes, that’s really his name) was asked to show a writer named Elizabeth Gilbert around Rome, he had no idea how his life was about to change. She embraced his Roman ebullience, and Luca in turn became her guardian angel, determined that his city would help Liz out of her funk. Filled with colorful anecdotes about food, language, soccer, daily life in Rome, and Luca’s own fish-out-of-water moments as a visitor to the United States—and culminating with the episodes in Liz’s bestselling memoir, told from Luca’s side of the table—Un Amico Italiano is a book that no fan of Eat, Pray, Love will want to miss.
From Un Amico Italiano, Luca Spaghetti’s thoughts on pasta: This is my personal pasta ranking system: for long pasta—just the pasta itself without sauce—first place goes to spaghetti, obviously. (To be specific, spaghetti number 5.) But if we’re talking about long pasta with sauce, then the thick, tubular bucatini are unrivaled: they have a wonderful, irresistible consistency, and each and every strand acts as a powerful sauce magnet. There is only one problem with bucatini, though—you can’t possibly eat a plateful and stay clean! A bucatino is a natural sauce catapult. There are only two ways to eat a plate of bucatini without worrying about firing off tomato sauce in all directions:
either sit down for your meal stark naked, or wrap yourself up in napkins from head to toe Suggested order like an Egyptian mummy, leaving your mouth free and ready for use, of course.

Getting to Yes offers a proven, step-by-step strategy for coming to mutually acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict. Thoroughly updated and revised, it offers readers a straight- forward, universally applicable method for negotiating personal and professional disputes without getting angry—or getting taken.

Resurrecting a fascinating and forgotten tale, journalist Robert Love returns to the Gilded Age, when Dr. Pierre Bernard (né Perry Baker in Iowa) revived a discipline banned in Victorian India, packaged it for Americans, and taught legions of followers, who bankrolled his luxurious Hudson River ashram—the first in the nation. Filled with Jazz Age celebrities, heiresses, spies, and outraged clergy, The Great Oom is the enthralling life story of the unlikeliest of gurus, and a stunning saga of mysticism, intrigue, and the American dream.

Philip Mould The Art Detective
Adventures of an Antiques Roadshow Appraiser
How can you tell a masterpiece from a piece of junk? Philip Mould has been so successful at discovering buried treasures that he’s affectionately known as “the art detective.” Now, at last, he has decided to let the eleven million fans of Antiques Roadshow in on his secrets. Each chapter revolves around a particular paint- ing and the people who helped unmask its creator’s identity—from an ingeniously forged Norman Rockwell (good enough to fool the Rockwell Museum) to a Winslow Homer found in a dump. Witty and compulsively readable, The Art Detective is memoir, art history, and brilliant storytelling all rolled into one.

Thomas Chatterton Williams Losing My Cool
Love, Literature, and a Black Man’s Escape from the Crowd
Growing up, Thomas Chatterton Williams knew he loved three things in life: his parents, literature, and the intoxicating hip- hop culture that surrounded him. For years, he managed to juggle two disparate lifestyles, “keeping it real” in his friends’ eyes and studying for the SATs under his father’s strict tutelage—until it all threatened to spin out of control. Written with remarkable candor and emotional depth, Losing My Cool portrays the allure and danger of hip-hop culture with the authority of a true fan who’s lived through it all, while demonstrating the saving grace of literature and the power of the bond between father and son.

“A necessary book for anyone truly interested in what we take from the sea to eat, and how, and why.” —Sam Sifton, The New York Times Book Review
Writer and life-long fisherman Paul Greenberg takes us on a journey, examining the four fish that dominate our menus: salmon, sea bass, cod, and tuna. Investigating the forces that get fish to our dinner tables, Greenberg reveals our damaged relationship with the ocean and its inhabitants. Just three decades ago, nearly everything we ate from the sea was wild. Today, rampant overfishing and an unprecedented biotech revolution have brought us to a point where wild and farmed fish occupy equal parts of a complex marketplace. Four Fish offers a way for us to move toward a future in which healthy and sustainable seafood is the rule rather than the exception.

Bruce Watson Freedom Summer
The Savage Season of 1964 That Made Mississippi Burn and Made America a Democracy
IN HIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED history Freedom Summer, award-winning author Bruce Watson presents powerful testimony about a crucial episode in the American civil rights move- ment. During the sweltering summer of 1964, more than seven hundred American college students descended upon segregated, reactionary Mississippi to register black voters and educate black children. On the night of their arrival, the worst fears of a race-torn nation were realized when three young men disappeared, thought to have been murdered by the Ku Klux Klan. Taking readers into the heart of these remarkable months, Freedom Summer shines new light on a critical moment of nascent change in America.

Carol Muske-Dukes Twin Cities
Carol Muske-Dukes is an acclaimed novelist and poet whose latest collection, Sparrow, a haunting elegy for her late husband, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Twin Cities is an emotionally rich book of poems about how things double—by reflection, by reproduction, by severance. The poems embark from the twin cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, divided by a legendary river, and move on to the parallel histories of a life lived and a life imagined—and the random intersection of the two. Lit by loss, these moving poems navigate between the poles of love and grief, curse and blessing, abandonment and rescue—they are two, and they are one.

The “expertly rendered, gripping new novel” (Janet Maslin, The New York Times)—from the bestselling author of In the Woods and The Likeness
Tana French’s In the Woods and The Likeness captivated readers by introducing them to her unique, character-driven style. Her singular skill at creating richly drawn, complex worlds makes her novels not mere whodunits but brilliant and satisfying novels about memory, identity, loss, and what defines us as humans. With Faithful Place, the highly praised third novel about the Dublin Murder squad, French takes readers into the mind of Frank Mackey, the hotheaded mastermind of The Likeness, as he wrestles with his own past and the family, the lover, and the neighborhood he thought he’d left behind for good.
“Tana French’s novels are like big old trees: the deeper their roots, the more luxurious the foliage.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

America’s only female swordfish boat captain returns with this long-awaited follow-up to the bestselling The Hungry Ocean
After the exploits recounted in The Perfect Storm and The Hungry Ocean that made her a sensation, Linda Greenlaw took a ten-year hiatus from blue-water fish- ing. When an old friend offered her a captaincy on his swordboat, Greenlaw ditched her mounting bills and headed for the sea. Full of adventure and thought-provoking reflection, Seaworthy recounts her return to the beautiful and deadly Grand Banks—from the nuances of reading weather and the complexities of longline fishing to the surprise of landing in jail for crossing into Canadian waters. The result is both a wild ride and a memorable look at one woman’s struggle to define her own limits.

DRAWING ON MORE THAN ten thousand hith- erto unavailable letters and diary entries, bestselling author Niall Ferguson tells the story of Siegmund Warburg, a complex man who was as much a psychologist, a politician, and an actor-manager as a banker. An obsessive perfectionist with an aversion to excessive risk, Warburg—and the S. G. Warburg firm—adopted a financial philosophy that was the antithesis of the debt-fueled, algorithm-driven banking of our time. In High Financier, Niall Ferguson recaptures the meticulous business methods and strict ethical code that set Warburg apart from the mere speculators and traders who inhabit today’s financial world.

Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters
Edited by Bill Morgan and David Stanford
PERHAPS ONE of the last great dual correspondences of the twentieth century, Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg: The Letters reveals not only the process of creation of the two most celebrated members of the Beat Generation, but also the unfolding of a remark- able friendship of immense pathos and spiritual depth. Through this exhilarating exchange of letters, two-thirds of which have never been published before, Kerouac and Ginsberg emerge first and foremost as writers of artistic passion, innovation, and genius. Vivid and enthralling, the letters, which date from their first meeting in 1944 to Kerouac’s untimely death in 1969, chronicle the endless struggle, anguish, and sacrifice involved in giving form to their literary visions.

Jeffrey Ostler The Lakotas and the Black Hills
The Struggle for Sacred Ground
the Lakota Indians made their home in the majestic Black Hills mountain range during the last millennium, drawing on the hills’ endless bounty for physical and spiritual sustenance. Yet the arrival of white settlers brought the Lakotas into inexorable conflict with the changing world, at a time when their tribe would produce some of the most famous Native Americans in history, including Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Crazy Horse. Jeffrey Ostler’s powerful history of the Lakotas’ struggle captures the heart of a people whose deep relationship with their homeland would compel them to fight for it against overwhelming odds, on battlefields as varied as the Little Bighorn and the chambers of U.S. Supreme Court.

Stephen J. Pyne Voyager
Exploration, Space, and the Third Great Age of Discovery
AS DEBATE OVER the future of NASA heats up, award- winning author Stephen J. Pyne presents America’s greatest space expeditions as the latest chapter in a continuous saga of discovery that goes back centuries. Pyne’s luminous narrative not only recounts the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions, launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets, but also fixes their place in Western civiliza- tion’s urge to explore—an impulse that links NASA’s scientists with Magellan, Columbus, Cook, Lewis and Clark, and other intrepid seekers through the ages. Pyne’s eye-opening look at what he calls the third age of discovery “reminds readers of the rich cultural his- tory that underlies humankind’s exploration of the cosmos” (Science News).

“One of the best accounts of an American life you’ll likely ever read.”*
As moving, disarming, and elusive as one of her classic songs, Composed is Rosanne Cash’s testament to the power of art, tradition, and love to trans- form a life. For more than three decades she has been one of the most compelling figures in popular music, having moved gracefully from Nashville stardom to critical recognition as a singer-songwriter and author of essays and short stories. Her remarkable body of work has often been noted for its emotional acuity, its rich and resonant imagery, and its unsparing honesty. Those qualities have enabled her to establish a unique intimacy with her audiences, and it is those qualities that inform her long-awaited memoir.
“Rock-solid, heart-wise . . . Composed is a record of how she came through it all—with her head held high, with her sense of humor intact, with her fierce belief in music and love undiminished. . . . Composed is about writing scores, not settling them.” —Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune*
“An eloquent testimony to the power of song, love, and human resilience. Rosanne writes about life with insight, elegance, and an artist’s open heart.” —Daniel J. Levitin, author of This Is Your Brain on Music

Dan Morrison The Black Nile
One Man’s Amazing Journey Through Peace and War on the World’s Longest River
UPON HEARING THE NEWS of tenuous peace in Sudan, foreign correspondent Dan Morrison bought a plank-board boat, summoned a friend who’d never left America, and set out from Uganda, paddling the Nile on a quest to reach Cairo—a trip that tyranny and war had made impossible for decades. With the propulsive force of a thriller, Morrison’s chronicle is a mash-up of travel narrative and reportage, packed with flights into the frightful and absurd. From the hardscrabble fishing villages on Lake Victoria to the floating nightclubs of Cairo, The Black Nile tracks the snarl of commonalities and conflicts that bleed across the Nile valley, bring- ing to life a complex region in profound transition.

The Rise and Fall of Julio Lobo, Cuba’s Last Tycoon
Known in his day as the King of Sugar, Julio Lobo was the wealthiest man in prerevolutionary Cuba. He had a life fit for Hollywood: he barely survived both a gangland shooting and a firing squad, and courted movie stars such as Joan Fontaine and Bette Davis. Only when he declined Che Guevara’s personal offer to become Minister of Sugar in the Communist regime did Lobo’s decades-long reign in Cuba come to a dramatic end. Drawing on stories from the author’s own family history and other tales of the island’s lost haute bourgeoisie, The Sugar King of Havana is a rare portrait of Cuba’s glittering past—and a hopeful window into its ISBN 978-0-14-311933-3 $16.00 (NCR) future.

Mary Boykin Chesnut Mary Chesnut’s Diary
Introduction by Catherine Clinton
One of the most compelling personal narratives of the Civil War, Mary Chesnut’s Diary was written between 1861 and 1865. As the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner and the wife of an aide to the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, Chesnut was well acquainted with the Confederacy’s prominent players and—from the very first shots in Charleston, South Carolina— diligently recorded her impressions of the conflict’s most significant moments. One of the most frequently cited memoirs of the war, Mary Chesnut’s Diary captures the urgency and nuance of the period in an epic rich with commentary on race, status, and power within a nation divided.

José Rizal El Filibusterismo
Translated with an Introduction and Notes by Harold Augenbraum
José Rizal was one of the leading champions of Filipino nationalism and independence. His masterpiece, Noli Me Tangere, is widely considered to be the foundational novel of the Philippines. In this riveting continuation, which picks up the story thirteen years later, Rizal departs from the Noli’s themes of innocent love and martyrdom to present a gripping tale of obsession and revenge. Clearly demonstrating Rizal’s growth as a writer, and influenced by his exposure to international events, El Filibusterismo is a thrilling and suspenseful account of Filipino resistance to colonial rule that still resonates today.

Richard E. Kim The Martyred
Introduction by Heinz Insu Fenkl Foreword by Susan Choi
During the early weeks of the Korean War, Captain Lee, a young South Korean officer, is ordered to investigate the kid- napping and mass murder of North Korean ministers by Communist forces. For propaganda purposes, the priests are declared martyrs, but as he delves into the crime, Lee finds himself asking: What if they were not martyrs? What if they renounced their faith in the face of death, failing both God and country? Should the people be fed this lie? Part thriller, part mystery, part existential treatise, The Martyred is a stunning meditation on truth, religion, and faith in times of crisis.

John Masefield Spunyarn
A Collection of Sea Poetry and Prose
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Philip W. Errington
John Masefield is one of the greatest storytellers of life at sea. Based on a recently rediscovered early manuscript, this collection of short stories, extracts from novels, autobiographical sketches, and poems, including the well-known works “Sea-Fever” and “Cargoes,” illustrates the hardship, romance, and adventure of seafaring. Masefield’s writing, masterful and captivating, is infused with a sailor’s way with language and sense for a good yarn—about life in dock and on the swelling seas, about salt spray, mutiny, great storms, the spirits beneath the waves, and the devil and Davy Jones playing dice for souls.

Jane Austen Persuasion
Introduction by Colm Tóibín Cover by Audrey Niffenegger
WRITTEN DURING Jane Austen’s race against failing health, Persuasion tells the story of Anne Elliot, a woman who—at twenty-seven—is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years ago, she was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. When Anne and Frederick meet again, he has acquired both, but still feels the sting of her rejection. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Austen’s last completed novel is also a movingly told love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

Frances Perkins The Roosevelt I Knew
Introduction by Adam Cohen
When Frances Perkins first met Franklin D. Roosevelt at a dance in 1910, she was a young social worker and he was an attractive young man making a modest debut in state poli- tics. Over the next thirty-five years, she watched his career unfold, becoming both a close family friend and a trusted political associate whose tenure as secretary of labor spanned his entire administration. FDR and his presidential policies continue to be widely discussed in the classroom and in the media, and The Roosevelt I Knew offers a unique window onto the man whose courage and pioneering reforms still resonate in the lives of Americans today.

Alexander Pope The Rape of the Lock and Other Major Writings
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Leo Damrosch
The energy and inventiveness of Alexander Pope’s verse still astonish centuries after his death. This new collection follows the path of Pope’s poetic genius over his lifetime, featuring early poems such as the masterly mock-epic “The Rape of the Lock,” which satirizes a notorious society scandal in glorious heroic couplets, and excerpts from his translation of the Iliad. Later writings include Pope’s ironic adaptations of Horace’s Epistles and a stinging attack on his literary rivals and the mediocrity of Grub Street hacks. Collected here, too, are selected prose works and letters to such contemporaries as John ISBN 978-0-14-042350-1 $20.00 (NCR) Gay and Jonathan Swift.

The Man Who Would Be King Selected Stories Edited with an Introduction by Jan Montefiore
Rudyard Kipling is one of the most magical storytellers in the English language. Written over a period of five years, from 1885 to 1888, the seventeen stories in this collec- tion offer a wry, vivid, and captivating glimpse of the development of Kipling’s oeuvre over fifty years: the harsh, cruel realism that marks his most memorable works, the experimental modernism of his middle period, and the highly wrought subtleties of his later pieces. “The Man Who Would Be King” is a far-fetched adventure that serves as a parable of colonialism, while other stories feature tales of criminals, ghosts, femmes fatales, madness, and murder.

Plain Tales from the Hills Edited with an Introduction by Kaori Nagai Series Editor Jan Montefiore
Born in Bombay in 1865, Rudyard Kipling launched his literary career with Plain Tales from the Hills and, in 1907, became the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize. Many of the stories in this book were originally published in a Lahore newspaper for which Kipling worked as a journalist. Later, he revised them to re-create as vividly as possible the sights and smells of India for English readers. Including “Lispeth,” “Beyond the Pale,” and “In the Pride of His Youth,” this collection, far from being a celebration of empire, instead explores the barriers between races, classes, and sexes and powerfully captures all the ten- sions and contradictions of colonial life.

The Elder Edda
A Book of Viking Lore
Translated and Edited with an Introduction by Andy Orchard
THE MYTHOLOGY surrounding ancient Norse gods and heroes has inspired countless writers and artists, including Tennyson, Wagner, William Morris, Tolkien, Borges, and Auden. Compiled by an unknown scribe in Iceland around 1270 and based on sources dating back centuries earlier, these poems tell of the heroic deeds of gods and mortals: the giant-slaying Thor, the doomed Völsung fam- ily, the Hell-ride of Brynhild, and the cruelty of Atli (Attila the Hun). Eclectic, incomplete, and fragmented, the verses nevertheless retain a stark beauty and enthralling power, opening a window onto the thoughts, beliefs, and hopes of the Vikings and their world.

Ronald Firbank Vainglory
Introduction by Richard Canning
The fairly young and entirely alive Mrs. Shamefoot wants nothing more than to have a memorial stained-glass window installed in her honor in an English cathedral. From this premise, the inimitable Ronald Firbank extends his witty, eccentric Vainglory, with a crowded cast of hilariously drawn characters—Winsome Brooks, Lady Anne Pantry, Miss Wookie, Mrs. Barrow of Dawn, and Mrs. Steeple, among others—a riot of parties, and a bottomless sense of the ridiculous. Firbank’s fine comic skill, quick-fire dialogue, and descriptive flights of fancy are perfectly captured in Vainglory, his first and longest novel, as well as in two novellas included here, Inclinations and Caprice.
