    Love can offer freedom, but it can also demand a price that changes everything.
    
    In Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy presents one of the most celebrated novels in world literature—a profound exploration of love, marriage, family, society, morality, and human desire.
    
    The novel follows Anna Karenina, a sophisticated woman whose passionate relationship with Count Vronsky places her in conflict with the strict expectations of nineteenth-century Russian society. As her personal choices collide with social conventions, Tolstoy examines the consequences of love, jealousy, isolation, and the search for fulfillment.
    
    Alongside Anna's story, Tolstoy follows Konstantin Levin, whose own journey through love, family, work, faith, and the meaning of life provides a contrasting perspective on happiness and human purpose. The parallel narratives allow Tolstoy to explore both the intimate struggles of individuals and the broader social world surrounding them.
    
    Rich in psychological insight and memorable characters, Anna Karenina examines timeless questions about passion, loyalty, marriage, family, social judgment, identity, morality, and happiness. Tolstoy's detailed portrayal of Russian society gives the novel remarkable depth while his understanding of human emotion makes its characters enduringly compelling.
    
    First published in the nineteenth century, Anna Karenina remains a defining masterpiece of Russian literature and one of the most influential novels ever written.

    Soulful Poetry

    For more than 40 years, Jay Rothman has been writing poetry about the questions that have followed him through his life: Why are we here? What are we meant to learn? How do we find love, purpose, and connection? And what can our struggles teach us about who we are becoming? 
    Soulful Poetry brings together poems written across those four decades, tracing Jay’s lifelong search for meaning through personal experience and Jewish thought. His poems explore love and loneliness, friendship and loss, hope and disappointment, spiritual growth, and the difficult work of becoming the person each of us was created to be. 
    Throughout the collection, Jay returns to images from the natural world: light and darkness, the Sun, water, flowers, diamonds, candles, and changing seasons. A diamond waiting beneath the surface becomes a reflection on recognizing our own worth. A stone dropped into water illustrates how our words and actions ripple outward into the lives of others. A candle becomes a meditation on life, the body, and the Soul. 
    Jay’s Jewish faith and spiritual beliefs are woven throughout the book, alongside deeply personal reflections on love, loneliness, friendship, loss, hope, mistakes, and personal growth. 
    The result is not simply a collection of poetry, but a record of one man’s lifelong spiritual search. At times hopeful, at times painful, and often intensely personal, these pieces invite readers to consider their own lives, relationships, struggles, and place in the Universe. 
    Soulful Poetry is a book to read slowly, returning to individual pieces when you need encouragement, reflection, or simply a reminder to keep reaching toward the Light.

    The Poems of Sappho gathers the surviving poetry of one of ancient Greece’s most celebrated lyric poets. Writing on the island of Lesbos around the seventh and sixth centuries BCE, Sappho created intimate and emotionally powerful poems exploring love, longing, beauty, desire, memory, nature, friendship, and devotion. 
     
     
    Much of Sappho’s work survives only in fragments, preserved through ancient quotations and damaged manuscripts. Yet even in incomplete form, her poetry retains an extraordinary immediacy. She writes with remarkable sensitivity about the intensity of affection, the pain of separation, the fleeting nature of youth, and the beauty of those she admires. 
     
     
    Originally composed for musical performance, Sappho’s lyric poetry is personal, vivid, and deeply human. Her surviving verses offer a rare glimpse into the emotional and artistic world of archaic Greece while demonstrating why her work has continued to influence poets and readers for more than two millennia.

    Saturated with locutions lifted from the late 19th century, The Day-Breakers deeply conceives of what African Canadian soldiers experienced before, during, and in the immediate aftermath of the American Civil War.
    		 
    “It is not wise to waste the life / Against a stubborn will. / Yet would we die as some have done. / Beating a way for the rising sun” wrote Arna Bontemps. In The Day-Breakers, poet Michael Fraser imagines the selflessness of Black soldiers who fought for the Union during the American Civil War, of whom hundreds were African-Canadian, fighting for the freedom of their brethren and the dawning of a new day. Brilliantly capturing the rhythms of their voices and the era in which they lived and fought, Fraser’s The Day-Breakers is an homage to their sacrifice and an unforgettable act of reclamation: the restoration of a language, and a powerful new perspective on Black history and experience.
