The Secret Power - A Romance of...

Marie Corelli

Morgana Royal is small, fey and enormously rich, and in a shed on the Sicilian shore below her Palazzo d'Oro she has built the White Eagle, a silent air-ship driven by a force that renews itself as it works. Roger Seaton, the English scientist she once turned her back on, is hiding in a hut above a California sanatorium with a discovery of his own, a way to wipe nations off the map from a distance, and he is offering it to an American senator. Morgana flies the White Eagle over the Sahara in search of a city that legend says no traveller has ever reached. Corelli outsold Wells, Kipling and Conan Doyle, and wrote this in 1921, with the war just over and the fear of what science could do very fresh. Fifty-eight plates, among them David Roberts and Jean-Léon Gérôme, carry cathedrals, desert riders and lions that echo the air-ship's flight over the Sahara.

Poems

Edgar Allan Poe

Poe’s Poems: These trifles are collected and republished chiefly with a view to their redemption from the many improvements to which they have been subjected while going at random the “rounds of the press.” I am naturally anxious that what I have written should circulate as I wrote it, if it circulate at all. In defence of my own taste, nevertheless, it is incumbent upon me to say that I think nothing in this volume of much value to the public, or very creditable to myself.

Madame Bovary

Gustave Flaubert

A woman longing for passion. A life that feels too small. A dream that leads her where she never meant to go.
Emma Bovary marries a kind but ordinary doctor, hoping for romance, beauty, and excitement. Instead, she finds herself trapped in routine and aching for more. As she pursues love, luxury, and escape, her desires turn into dangerous illusions—drawing her deeper into secrets, debt, and heartbreak she cannot control.

Praised as "one of the greatest novels ever written," Flaubert's masterpiece is renowned for its exquisite prose, psychological depth, and fearless portrayal of desire and disillusionment. Emma's struggle to reconcile fantasy with reality remains as gripping today as when the book first shocked the world.

If you love emotionally intense storytelling, rich character exploration, and classics that linger long after the last page, this novel is essential reading.

Open the book—and step into the life of a woman whose dreams burn brighter than the world around her.

The Master Mind of Mars - A...

Edgar Rice Burroughs

A surgeon on Mars perfects the transplanting of brains and sells the bodies of the young to the rich and old; Ulysses Paxton, dying in a shell-hole in France, wakes up on Barsoom in time to object. Burroughs published the sixth Barsoom book in 1927 and made it the strangest: the horror is medical, and the love story involves a girl in the wrong body. Fifty-eight plates of dream and vision by painters including Odilon Redon and Frits Van den Berghe, from 1815 to 1929, give the surgery and the stars of Barsoom their proper strangeness.

Schoolgirl

Osamu Dazai, Allison Markin Powell

Essentially the start of Dazai's career, Schoolgirl gained notoriety for its ironic and inventive use of language. Now it illuminates the prevalent social structures of a lost time, as well as the struggle of the individual against them–a theme that occupied Dazai's life both personally and professionally. This new translation preserves the playful language of the original and offers the reader a new window into the mind of one of the greatest Japanese authors of the 20th century.
