Emma

Jane Austen

Emma is a witty and perceptive novel that explores love, social class, and the dangers of self-deception in early 19th-century England. Set in the quiet village of Highbury, the story follows Emma Woodhouse, a clever, confident, and well-meaning young woman who prides herself on her ability to manage the lives of others—especially when it comes to matchmaking.

Convinced she understands the hearts of those around her better than they understand themselves, Emma enthusiastically arranges romances for her friends and neighbors. Yet her good intentions often lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and unexpected consequences. As Emma navigates friendships, gossip, and social expectations, she is forced to confront her own flaws, assumptions, and emotional blind spots.

With sharp humor, memorable characters, and keen social observation, Jane Austen crafts a timeless coming-of-age story about growth, humility, and self-knowledge. Emma is both a delightful romantic comedy and a thoughtful examination of how maturity comes not from controlling others, but from learning to see oneself clearly.

Oil!

Upton Sinclair

“Passionate. . . . [The] lively satirical account of capitalist greed . . . and socialist struggle,” that inspired the film There Will Be Blood (The Guardian). From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Jungle, a novel set against the backdrop of the political corruption fueling the California oil industry during the Harding administration. Oil! is a tale of the capitalist insatiability that comes between an oil baron and his son, whose growing sympathies with the labor movement and socialist ideals fuels the riff between them. Peopled with politicians, financial investors, oil magnates, a Hollywood star, and a crusading evangelist, Oil! is also a spirited social commentary on the class struggle at the heart of the divide in post–World War I America. Written by an author heralded for his compelling narratives exploring themes of social justice, Oil! is as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1927. “A marvelous panorama of Southern California life. It is storytelling with an edge on it.” —The New Republic   “A tremendous piece of work.” —The Nation
