Short Fiction

Akutagawa Ryūnosuke

Akutagawa Ryūnosuke was a respected author in pre-WWII Japan. He was well-read, and having received a Westernized education, his work blends traditional themes of Japanese culture with Western concepts. This edition collects the handful of English translations in the U.S. public domain of his nearly 200 short stories. The stories deal with a variety of themes and concepts: "The Nose" is a tale about vanity and perception of one's image, "Rashōmon" deals with morality in the face of necessity, and "The Story of a Fallen Head" is an anti-war story. Akutagawa often ends his stories with a reflection related to the plot, spoken either by a character or by the narrator to the reader. Akutagawa Ryūnosuke (died 1927) was a major literary figure of the early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Various Translators exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era.

Self Reliance and Other Essays

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Self Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson is a powerful call to individuality, self-trust, and nonconformity. In this timeless essay, Emerson urges readers to embrace their own instincts and inner wisdom rather than bowing to societal expectations. He argues that true fulfillment comes from self-expression and authenticity, not from seeking approval or following tradition. With vivid imagery and bold declarations, Emerson champions the idea that greatness lies in independence, courage, and the willingness to chart one’s own path—no matter how unconventional. Inspiring and thought-provoking, Self-Reliance remains a foundational text in American transcendentalism, encouraging readers to break free from external influences and trust in the power of their own minds.

The Man in the Iron Mask - The...

Alexandre Dumas

Thirty-five years after the musketeers first drew together, Aramis is a bishop with a plan, Porthos does not understand it, Athos is grieving, and d'Artagnan serves a king who has a secret in the Bastille. Dumas ran a fiction factory and outsold all of France; this is the end of the cycle, and he wrote the fall of his own heroes without flinching. Fifty-seven plates, from Doré's Don Quixote to Ingres's portraits of French royalty, give the century of Dumas's musketeers its own disorderly gallery of ambition and loss.
