  A restless generation. A love that can't be named. A journey searching for meaning in a world left broken by war.
  In Hemingway's groundbreaking debut novel, a group of expatriates wander from the cafés of Paris to the bullrings of Spain—drinking, dancing, longing, and hurting in ways they struggle to understand. At the center is Jake Barnes, whose unspoken love for the dazzling Lady Brett Ashley haunts every moment of their reckless, intoxicating life abroad. Amid festivals, tension, passion, and escape, they reveal the wounds and desires of a generation trying to feel alive again.
  
  Praised as "a novel that defined a century," this masterpiece captures Hemingway's signature clarity, emotional restraint, and unforgettable sense of place. Readers cherish its atmosphere, complex relationships, and the aching beauty in every silence.
  
  If you love literary fiction filled with longing, conflict, and moments that echo long after the final page, this essential classic delivers.
  
  Open the book—and follow the Lost Generation into the heart of what it means to live, love, and endure.

  Sink your teeth into the cult classic vampire novella that inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Fear sweeps the countryside as people fall victim to a strange illness.  After a peculiar accident, beautiful Mircalla becomes a ward at Laura’s family home.  Soon, friendship blooms between the mysterious Mircalla and curious Laura.  Love is in the air, but so is something deadly.  Will Mircalla’s secret cost Laura her life? Carmilla, originally published in 1872, is one of the first vampire novels ever written, predating Dracula by twenty-six years. Carmilla, with its themes of vampirism and homosexuality, shocked the standards and stereotypes for women set in the Victorian era. Today, Carmilla is considered the original archetype of female and LGBTQ vampires, and Le Fanu’s influence is seen throughout vampire fiction.

  One of Faulkner’s most controversial novels!      A lesser-known but compelling novel from the author of Absalom, Absalom! and The Sound and the Fury.      Have you ever wondered what speaks to the tortured soul of an artist? What would it be like to be stuck on a yacht with only the musings of the world and a group of artists as your company?      In the heat of the late Louisiana summer, Faulkner brings us a story of artistry that examines the thoughts and actions of Southern bohemians who have nothing to interrupt them but the hum and fire of the mosquitoes that surround them. “Faulkner’s message is clear: We are the mosquitoes, and the mosquitoes are us.”—Rein Fartel, “Twentieth Century Millennial: Revisiting Faulkner’s Mosquitoes.”       With a foreword by Carl Rollyson, a renowned biographer of Faulkner and other eminent authors, this fine new edition works to highlight the “Louisiana Faulkner,” the Faulkner before fame, and his thoughts on the lives of Southern artists.
