  A Boston gentleman goes to sleep in a sealed underground chamber in 1887 and is dug out in the year 2000, in a city with no money, no advertising, no servants and no poor. Bellamy's romance sold in the hundreds of thousands, spawned more than 160 Nationalist clubs across America, and made him — a mild journalist — briefly the most politically dangerous man in the country. Fifty-six plates, from Washington Allston to Fitz Henry Lane, gather moonlit harbors and quiet shore scenes that echo the Boston the sleeper wakes to find remade.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  A peasant flees a burning house and finds himself leading men in the Revolution, fighting up and down the sierra for causes explained to him by people who despise him. Azuela was an army doctor with Villa's forces and wrote this from the saddle, publishing it in an El Paso newspaper in 1915 while the war was still going; it is the novel of the Mexican Revolution, and it makes no promises. Fifty-nine plates of revolution and its aftermath by painters from Munch to Michałowski, 1834 to 1926, run through the text like the war's long shadow.

  Peggy Mcqueen was all alone on this beautiful morning in early spring. Only a child in years, for not a month over twelve was Peggy. She stood there, leaning on the half-door of her own little caravan, and gazing dreamily out and away across the sea, the sunshine on her shapely arms—bare to her well-rounded shoulders were they, for she was not yet quite dressed—sunshine on her rosy cheeks and lips, and sunshine trying to hide itself in the floating masses of her auburn hair...FROM RHE BOOKS.

  Derrick Vaughan Novelist - A...

  Edna Lyall

  The life of a novelist as his friend saw it: years of rejection, a father who despises the work, a girl who waits, and the slow arrival of a reputation. Edna Lyall was Ada Ellen Bayly, a clergyman's daughter who took a near-anagram of her own name and wrote novels that argued — for Irish Home Rule, for women, for freethinkers. This 1889 book is her quietest, and the publishing detail is exact. Fifty-nine plates of painting, from Meissonier and Spitzweg to Welsh scenes by Christopher Williams, mirror the novel's slow making of a writer across 1845 to 1919.
