  An English merchant's son is sent north on his father's business and falls in with a Highland cattle-dealer who is also an outlaw with a price on his head. Scott had talked to men who remembered Rob Roy MacGregor, and the novel did more than anything else to turn the Highlands from a danger into a destination. Fifty plates of painting, from Thomas Gainsborough to Edvard Munch, follow the road and the open country that carry the outlaw north.

  In the end, out of nothing at all, an enormous fabric of guilt will be conjured up. 
  One morning Josef K. is arrested for a crime he did not commit. In fact, he is never even told the nature of the offense. His life is thrown into turmoil as he becomes enmeshed in a struggle to prove his innocence. As the confounding case unfolds, K. is ultimately powerless - battling against a remote and uncaring bureaucracy. 
  This edition features a new translation by Isabel Tucker. Due to its posthumous publication, The Trial 's original text is largely unedited and Tucker emends certain details while retaining the enigmatic and surreal style which marks Kafka's brilliance. 
  Filled with psychological tension and disconcerting parallels with the modern world, The Trial is a dystopian masterpiece by one of the greatest writers in the German-language.

  The Arrow of Gold - A Story...

  Joseph Conrad

  Marseilles in the 1870s: gun-running for the Carlists, a young sailor called Monsieur George, and Doña Rita — a goatherd's daughter who became a painter's model and then, it was said, the mistress of a royal pretender. Conrad did not learn English properly until his twenties and wrote everything in it, his third language; this late novel returns to his own youth in Marseilles, and how much of it happened is a question he declined to answer. Fifty-nine plates of harbors, sailboats and seascapes by painters including Boudin and Manet run through the book, matching the maritime world Conrad knew.

  The Gold Bag - A Crime in West...

  A rich man is shot in his study, a woman's gold-mesh bag lies by the desk, and the young detective who is quite certain he can read the evidence proceeds to build a case against nearly everybody. Wells lost most of her hearing to scarlet fever at six and turned out roughly a hundred and seventy books; she wrote detective stories by the rules she herself codified, and this early one is her cleanest puzzle. Fifty-four plates of American and European painting, from Eakins and Cropsey to van Gogh, bring the domestic interiors, river valleys and quiet rooms of the era into this tale of a crime in West Sedgwick.
