  In the swirl of Philadelphia at the end of Prohibition, Leyb meets Charles. They are at a former speakeasy called Cricket's, a bar that welcomes, as Charles says in his secondhand Yiddish, feygeles. Leyb is startled; fourteen years in amerike has taught him that his native tongue is not known beyond his people. And yet here is suave Charles, a Black man from the Seventh Ward, a fellow traveler of Red Emma's, speaking Jewish to a young man he will come to call Lion. 
   
   
   
  Lion is haunted by memories of life before, in Zatelsk, where everyone in his village, everyone except the ten non-Jews, a young poet named Gittl, and Leyb himself, was taken to the forest and killed. 
   
   
   
  And then, miraculously, Gittl is in Philadelphia, too, thanks to a poem she wrote and the intervention of a shadowy character known only as the Baroness of Philadelphia. And surrounding Gittl are malokhim, the spirits of her siblings. 
   
   
   
  Moriel Rothman-Zecher's Before All the World lays bare the impossibility of escaping trauma, the necessity of believing in a better way ahead, and the power that comes from our responsibility to the future. It asks the most essential question: What do you intend to do before all the world?

  In Bound to Ecstasy, desire becomes a living, breathing force that takes control of your body, your thoughts, your very soul. Every whispered word is a promise of what’s to come—fingers tracing the edges of restraint, teasing the limits of control, until pleasure and pain blur into a single, electrifying pulse. This is a world where dominance claims with a look, submission trembles with anticipation, and every encounter is a battle of wills that ends in breathless, soul-shattering release.The heat begins slowly, a soft touch on bare skin, but soon escalates into a raw, primal hunger that refuses to be denied. With every kiss, every heated glance, the boundaries of what’s forbidden crumble, and you’re pulled deeper into a dangerous game of seduction and surrender. Here, pleasure isn’t given—it’s demanded, and you’ll be pushed beyond your limits, to a place where your deepest, darkest cravings come alive.Each lover is an addiction—tempting, insatiable, unstoppable. Their bodies collide in an intense dance of control and submission, a heady mix of hard grips and soft moans, where pain is pleasure, and restraint is the sweetest torment. In Bound to Ecstasy, every touch burns hotter, every thrust goes deeper, until you’re completely undone—stripped bare and laid open to the fierce, consuming power of passion. 
  Are you ready to lose yourself in the fire of your most sinful desires? To surrender to the overwhelming ecstasy that waits just beyond the edge of control? Let go, give in, and let Bound to Ecstasy take you on a journey of forbidden lust and undeniable pleasure, where nothing is off-limits and every fantasy is fulfilled. Your ultimate indulgence is just a heartbeat away.

  Shusaku Endo (1923-1996), widely considered one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, is known for his historical novels, which masterfully probe the encounters between the cultures and religions of East and West from a Japanese Catholic perspective. A salient and curious theme in his work is the unique image of a maternal God, and a concomitant sense of loss and longing for maternal love. 
   
   
   
  Confronting the Shadows, the semiautobiographical novella discovered at the Endo Museum in Nagasaki in 2020, is the author's most personal work and constitutes the interpretive key to his entire oeuvre. Translated into English here for the first time, it tells the story of Suguro, an aspiring novelist who was separated from his mother after his parents' divorce. Desperate to understand the woman his mother was, he sets out to retrace her footsteps, only to find himself face to face with his own demons. Accompanying the novella are five stories; exploring complex truths in uncomplicated prose, each tale discloses the intricacies of the sacred feminine and the apprehensions and joys of familial love. Endo once again beams bright light on the hidden corners of the human heart in this intimate and remarkable new collection.
