Synopsis

In "The Spoilers of the Valley," Robert Watson masterfully weaves a richly textured narrative that delves into the complexities of human desire, ambition, and the inexorable pull of nature. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing landscape, Watson employs a lyrical prose style that echoes the natural beauty and tumult of the valley. His vivid descriptions and well-crafted characters invite readers to explore profound themes of loss and redemption, while the novel's intricate plot unfolds with a suspenseful rhythm, reminiscent of classic American literature that interrogates the American Dream. Robert Watson, an astute observer of contemporary issues, draws inspiration from his own experiences growing up in a small town surrounded by nature's splendor and harshness. His background in environmental science and literature informs his narrative choices, allowing him to create a compelling commentary on the environmental and social dilemmas facing rural communities. Watson's passion for storytelling is evident as he captures the essence of human struggle in the face of inexorable change, making this work not just a novel, but a reflection on our times. This book is a must-read for those who appreciate profound literary explorations of the intersection between humanity and nature. Watson's insightful prose and intricate character developments ensure that "The Spoilers of the Valley" resonates long after the final page is turned, making it a significant contribution to contemporary literature.

    The Lost Legion by Rudyard Kipling is a gripping tale of mystery, honor, and supernatural folklore set against the backdrop of the Indian frontier. Blending the stark realities of colonial military life with haunting legend, Kipling recounts the story of a rebel cavalry regiment that vanished into the Afghan hills—only to return as ghostly riders, eternally paying for their betrayal. When a daring night operation to capture a notorious tribal outlaw stirs echoes of the past, British soldiers confront the eerie presence of the lost regiment. This atmospheric story explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the inescapable weight of history.

    “Summer” is one of only two novels Edith Wharton wrote that takes place in a rural setting (the other being her classic “Ethan Frome.”)  Given the subject matter, the book was considered scandalous in its day, but it is now considered a classic of early 19th century American literature.   
    The story follows the life and sexual awakening of Charity Royall, a young girl living in a small town who has dreams of moving out of her poverty-stricken community.  Courted by both the local rich businessman - her former guardian - and the dashing town ne’er-do-well, Charity starts up a love affair with the younger man.  But when her budding romance starts to take a turn…Charity is forced to grow up fast. 
    Edith Wharton - the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction - is one of the 20th centuries most beloved authors and we are proud to present “Summer” in its original and unabridged format.
