  Two brothers in a Le Havre shipping family, one of whom inherits a fortune from a friend of their late mother. That is the whole engine: a will, and a younger son who begins, slowly and against his will, to do arithmetic about his own family. Flaubert was his mother's friend and made Maupassant rewrite for seven years before letting him publish; this short novel is what that training produced. Fifty-nine plates of boats, harbors and the Normandy coast by Boudin and Monet run through this story of a Le Havre shipping family, matching its ports and tides picture for picture.

  Twelve stories about art and the people it ruins or saves: a Pittsburgh boy who steals to live one week in the style he dreams of, a sculptor's body brought back to the Kansas town that produced him, an old farm wife from Nebraska taken to a Wagner concert in Boston and undone by it, Norwegian settlers on the Divide, a Bohemian girl who comes home. Cather moved to Nebraska at nine and spent her career on the collision between that country and the thing she wanted; The Troll Garden, the core of this volume, was her first book of fiction. Fifty-eight plates of winter coast and mountain light by painters including Edvard Munch and George Bellows run alongside these stories of art and its cost.
