Harry was twice his age, the greatest British champion in history, and innovator of the modern grip and swing.

When the two men finally came together in their legendary battle at the 1913 US Open, its heart-stopping climax gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it today.

“The best Christian layman’s guide to the Old Testament I’ve ever read. Fascinating—and highly recommended!”

In the 2014 New York Times bestseller Jesus on Trial, David Limbaugh made a case for the Gospels as hard evidence of the existence of God, drawing on his own spiritual journey from skeptic to believer.

DAVID LIMBAUGH is a New York Times bestselling author, a lawyer with the Limbaugh Firm, and a nationally syndicated columnist. In addition to his journalism and law work, he frequently appears on top-tier television and radio programs, including Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, and his brother’s show, Rush Limbaugh.

Considered by many to be Chesterton’s masterpiece, this book declares his comprehensive view of world history as informed by the Incarnation. Retelling mankind’s story from the very beginning, he shows how all human desires are fulfilled in the person of Christ and Christ’s church.

The Collapse of Parenting How We Hurt Our Kids When We Treat Them like Grown-Ups

By Leonard Sax, MD, PhD Read by Malcolm Hillgartner Drawing on over twenty-five years of experience as a family psychologist, Leonard Sax makes a convincing case for reasserting our authority as parents.

“Dr. Leonard Sax provides an important glimpse into parenting in modern times.”

—Bill Bennett, former Secretary of Education

“A must-read for any parent.”

—Dr. Mehmet Oz on Boys Adrift

“Essential reading for parents and teachers, and one of the most thought-provoking books on teen development available.”

—Library Journal on Girls on the Edge

In The Collapse of Parenting, Leonard Sax, an acclaimed expert on parenting and childhood development, identifies a key problem plaguing American children: the dramatic decline in young people’s achievement and psychological health. The root of this problem, Sax contends, lies in the transfer of authority from parents to their children, a shift that has been occurring over the last fifty years and is now impossible to ignore.

Sax pinpoints the effects of this shift, arguing that the rising levels of obesity, depression, and anxiety among young people can all be traced back to a corresponding decline in adult authority.

LEONARD SAX, M.D., PH.D., is a practicing family physician, a PhD psychologist, and a speaker for community groups, schools, and professional organizations. His scholarly work has been published in a wide variety of journals including American Psychologist, Annals of Family Medicine, Behavioral Neuroscience, Environmental Health Perspectives, and the Journal of the American Medical Association. He has been a featured guest on CNN, PBS, The TODAY Show, Fox News, NPR’s “Talk of the Nation,” and many other national programs. He lives with his wife and daughter in suburban Philadelphia.

Gates helps listeners fundamentally reconsider their relationships with their minds and bodies and quiet their inner turmoil through self-reflection.

First Bite How We Learn to Eat

By Bee Wilson Read by Alison Larkin An exploration of the extraordinary and surprising origins of our tastes and eating habits, First Bite shows us how we can change our palates to lead healthier, happier lives.

“One part science, one part history, and a generous dash of fun.”

—Good Housekeeping on Consider the Fork

“Socially astute and funny.”

—New Yorker on Consider the Fork

We do not come into the world with an innate sense of taste and nutrition; as omnivores, we have to learn how and what to eat, how sweet is too sweet, and what food will give us the most energy for the coming day. But how does this education happen? What are the origins of taste?

In First Bite, the beloved food writer Bee Wilson draws on the latest research from food psychologists, neuroscientists, and nutritionists to reveal that our food habits are shaped by a whole host of factors, including family, culture, memory, gender, hunger, and love.

BEE WILSON is an award-winning food writer, historian, and author of four books, including Consider the Fork and Swindled. She has been named BBC Radio’s Food Writer of the Year and writes a weekly food column for the Sunday Telegraph’s Stella magazine. Wilson lives in Cambridge, England.

MARKETING Wilson was named BBC Radio’s Food Writer of the Year and is a threetime Guild of Food Writers’ Food Journalist of the Year

—New York Times Book Review

“A marvelous examination of how psychiatrists actually think, building to a vision of a community healthy and mature enough to confront its deepest and most persistent fears.”

—Kirkus Reviews Exposing the many lies that are told on and off the psychoanalyst’s couch, Lying on the Couch gives listeners a tantalizing, almost illicit glimpse at what their therapists might really be thinking during their sessions.

Fool’s Talk Recovering the Art of Christian Persuasion

By Os Guinness Read by Os Guinness The world is changing dramatically, yet many Christians still rely on cookie-cutter approaches to evangelism. Os Guinness’ Fool’s Talk presents the art and power of creative persuasion, the ability to talk to people who are closed to what Christians are saying, with a new persuasive power.

“[A] helpful discourse on the anatomy of disbelief, how to respond to it, and how to avoid compromise while charting a journey toward faith.”

“[An] absorbing and intricately constructed German police procedural.”

—Wall Street Journal on Bad Wolf

“[An] impressive multidimensional police procedural.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Snow White Must Die

“Fass’ skill provides the perfect delivery.”

—AudioFile on Snow White Must Die

Detective Pia Kirchhoff is about to set off on a long-delayed honeymoon, when she receives a phone call. An elderly woman has been shot and killed while walking her dog. A short while later another murder is committed, and the modus operandi is eerily similar: a woman is killed by a bullet that smashes through her kitchen window—and in both cases the same weapon fired the shot. Two more murders follow in short order.

None of the victims had enemies, and no one knows why they were singled out. As fear of the Taunus Sniper grows among the local residents, pressure mounts on Detective Kirchhoff to find a suspect who appears to murder at will.

NELE NEUHAUS is one of Germany’s most widely read crime authors thanks to her thrillers featuring the investigative duo of Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver von Bodenstein, which were launched in English with Snow White Must Die. Her novels have been translated into twenty languages.

Zero Day

By Jan Gangsei Read by Andi Arndt Like House of Cards or Homeland for the younger set, Zero Day is full of political intrigue.

Eight years ago Addie Webster was the victim of the most notorious kidnapping of the decade. She vanished—and her high-profile parents were forced to move on. Mark Webster is now president of the United States and fighting to keep the Oval Office after a tumultuous first term.

Then the unthinkable happens: the president’s daughter resurfaces. Addie is brought back into the family fold, but who is this sixteen-year-old girl with a quiet, burning intelligence now living in the White House? There are those in the president’s political circle who find her timely return suspicious. When a national security advisor approaches Darrow Fergusson, Addie’s childhood best friend and the son of the president’s chief of staff, he doesn’t know what to think. How could the girl he’s missed for all these years be a threat to national security? Still, at the risk of having his own secrets exposed, Darrow agrees to spy on Addie and soon realizes that his old friend is much more than the traumatized victim of a sick political fringe group. Addie has come with a mission … but will she choose to complete it?

JAN GANGSEI has a degree in political science and is a former newspaper reporter covering both politics and the police beat. She lives in Washington, DC, with her family.

Alarming studies show the increase of chronic disease in children. Dr. Maya, a parent herself, saw the limits of conventional medicine when her son suffered a severe episode of asthma on his first birthday and began a backward slide in his development. Treatments failed to reverse his condition. When Dr. Maya discovered that food was the root of her son’s illness, the solution was shockingly simple: heal the food, heal the gut, heal the brain, and you heal the child. She started using fresh foods and nature to heal her son from the inside out and the outside in. Dr. Maya here presents a nutritional plan for getting and keeping children healthy —a plan any family can follow.

Indignation

By Philip Roth Reader to be announced Indignation, Philip Roth’s twenty-ninth book, is a startling departure from the haunted narratives of old age and experience in Roth’s recent books and a powerful exploration of a remarkable moment in American history.

“There are simply no novels by Roth in which you cannot detect the hand of a master.”

—O, The Oprah Magazine

“A late masterpiece…Indignation is Philip Roth’s best novel since The Counterlife.”

—Financial Times (London)

“Mesmerizing…Philip Roth’s intrepid novel of selfrevelation demands to be read in one sitting. It’s that good. It’s that audacious. It’s that compelling.”

—Seattle Times

In 1951, the second year of the Korean War, a studious, law-abiding, and intense youngster from Newark, New Jersey, Marcus Messner, begins his sophomore year on the pastoral, conservative campus of Ohio’s Winesburg College. And why is he there and not at a local college in Newark where he originally enrolled? Because his father, the sturdy, hardworking neighborhood butcher, seems to have gone mad—mad with fear and apprehension of the dangers of adult life, the dangers of the world, the dangers he sees in every corner for his beloved boy. Far from Newark, Marcus has to find his way amid the customs and constrictions of another American world.

Tackling questions of race, gender, and sexuality, Dhalgren is a literary marvel and a groundbreaking work of American magical realism.

Forty Rooms

By Olga Grushin Reader to be announced The internationally acclaimed author of the prizewinning Dream Life of Sukhanov returns with Forty Rooms.

“The next big thing in American literary fiction…so accomplished are her skills—so hauntingly assured— that more than one US critic has greeted her as the next great American novelist.”

—Financial Times, praise for the author

“A tale of consummate beauty. Like a diamond with countless facets—utterly brilliant. Recommended ecstatically.”

—Library Journal (starred review) on The Line

“Forty rooms” is a conceit: it proposes that a modern woman will inhabit forty rooms in her lifetime. They form her biography, from childhood to death. For our protagonist, the much-loved child of a late marriage, the first rooms she is aware of as she nears the age of five are those that make up her family’s Moscow apartment. We follow this child as she reaches adolescence, leaves home to study in America, and slowly discovers sexual happiness and love. What follows are the decades of births and deaths, the celebrations, material accumulations, and home comforts— until one day, her children grown and gone, her husband absent, she finds herself alone except for the ghosts of her youth, who have come back to haunt and even taunt her. Compelling and complex, Forty Rooms is also profoundly affecting, its ending shattering but true. Who is to say one’s path through life was not well taken? It is this ambiguity that is at the heart of this provocative novel.

The Golden Lad The Haunting Story of Quentin and Theodore Roosevelt

By Eric Burns Reader to be announced Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most fascinating and written-about presidents in American history—yet the most poignant tale about this larger-than-life man has never been told.

“By turns humorous and sobering, the book is filled with interesting facts and trivia, and Bums’ engaging writing style makes the book a delight to read.”

(MAY NOT BE FINAL ART)

—History Magazine on The Spirits of America

“A work of genuine historical research, colorful personality, intellectual sophistication, heft, and durable interest.”

—Vanity Fair on 1920

“Burns delivers history with flair and vividness.”

—Wall Street Journal, praise for the author

Never has a more exuberant man been our nation’s leader. He became a war hero, reformed the NYPD, busted the largest railroad and oil trusts, won the Nobel Peace Prize, and built the Panama Canal—to name a few of his accomplishments. But the cause he championed the hardest, America’s entry into WWI, would ultimately defeat him. His youngest son, Quentin, his favorite, would die in an air fight. The Roosevelts were a family of pillow fights and pranks, but it was Quentin, the frailest son, who had worried his father the most. Looking at Theodore’s relationship with his son and understanding him as a father can tell us something new about this larger-than-life man.

Retox Yoga, Food, Attitude; Healthy Solutions for Real Life

By Lauren Imparato Reader to be announced This valuable guide offers practical health and wellness strategies from Laura Imparato, creator of the I.AM.YOU yoga studio.

Enough preaching about self-deprivation. No more striving for bodily purity. Who has the patience—or the time!—for strict dietary restrictions and hours of meditation? Let’s get real; these tactics just don’t work—at least not for long. But that doesn’t mean health and happiness are unobtainable. Most often you just need an anxiety buster you can do while running down the street, a yoga pose you can do at your desk, or a way to debloat what feels like an alien baby in your abdomen. Retox isn’t about changing who you are or denying life’s pleasures; it’s about tailoring sensible, scientifically based health practices to the life you already live; it’s about working hard, playing harder, and renewing your balance and energy so you can do it all again. In Retox, health expert Lauren Imparato strips yoga down to its anatomical principles, offering practical tips for fast relief. Then, drawing from a variety of disciplines—from psychology to nutrition to Tibetan philosophy—she designs no-nonsense strategies and delicious recipes to combat the most common challenges of modern life.

LAUREN IMPARATO, a certified yoga instructor and a nutritional coach, started the I.AM.YOU yoga studio in 2009 after leaving her job at Morgan Stanley. She specializes in realistic wellness solutions for busy people and has been profiled by Vogue, Bloomberg, CNN, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, the Financial Times, and other media outlets.

Peacerunner The True Story of How an Ex-congressman Helped End the Centuries of War in Ireland

By Penn Rhodeen Foreword by President Bill Clinton Reader to be announced One of BenBella’s biggest books of the year is Penn Rhodeen’s Peacerunner, with an introduction by former president Bill Clinton.

“As I read Penn Rhodeen’s skillful account of Bruce’s role in the successful march toward the Good Friday Agreement, it wasn’t the ending—a historic peace accord that moved Northern Ireland from warfare to politics—but the remarkable effort by all parties to secure it that kept me reading from start to finish.”

—President Bill Clinton, from the foreword

“[A] gripping and wonderful story…Bruce Morrison and the other heroes (unsung to my mind) of this terrific book accomplished the seemingly impossible and ultimately miraculous!…This is a must-read.”

—Liam Neeson

This is the true story of an unknown American politician who played a critical role in ending centuries of conflict in Northern Ireland. Without the president’s permission, and breaking every conventional rule about how to deal with terrorists, former congressman Bruce Morrison helped end a conflict that most observers thought would continue indefinitely. A former newspaper reporter and schoolteacher and now a lawyer, Rhodeen is hoping to present Morrison’s story to inspire readers and to show how best to lend aid in countries afflicted by unending war.

Rhodeen dramatizes events that have somehow receded into the past without getting their due.

The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

By John Perkins Reader to be announced The New York Times bestseller, updated and expanded, featuring fifteen explosive new chapters

“Astonishing.”

—Boston Herald on Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

“One of the most remarkable books I have read in a long time. It is also one of the most frightening.”

(MAY NOT BE FINAL ART)

—New Statesman on Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

“An extraordinary and gripping tale of intrigue and dark machinations. Think John le Carré, except it’s a true story.”

—Amazon.com on Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

“Riveting…Highly recommended.”

—Library Journal on Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

This now-classic book’s first edition revealed the subversive actions of economic hit men (EHM), highly paid professionals who cheat countries worldwide out of trillions of dollars through fraud, bribes, assassinations, and coups. In Perkins’ case the tool was debt, convincing countries to borrow huge amounts of money. Once indebted, these countries could be controlled. Here he provides new details about how he and others did their work. More importantly, an explosive new section describes how EHM tools are being used around the world more widely than ever—even in the United States. But Perkins offers hope and tools to fight back.

JOHN PERKINS worked from 1971 to 1981 for an international consulting firm as a chief economist and manager of economics and regional planning but, in reality, was an economic hit man, a role he kept secret until the events of 9/11 convinced him to expose his past.

The Nomad Trilogy, Book 1 Read by Keith Szarabajka

The Nomad Trilogy, Book 2 Reader to be announced

When Dr. Ben Rollins, head of Harvard’s exoplanet research team, is told by NASA that a massive object in space could end the world, his first instinct is to call his daughter and wife, who are vacationing in Italy: something is coming, he tells them, a hundred times the mass of our sun. We can’t see it, we don’t know what it is, but it’s there. They’re calling it Nomad, and it’s coming fast. The world erupts into chaos as the end approaches—and Ben discovers that his wife and daughter are trapped in Italy. The key to humanity’s survival may rest in the answers he pieces together, in the midst of his frantic scramble to find his family before Nomad swallows the planet.

In the Day of the Nomad, oceans flooded the continents and the earth split open, pouring darkness into the skies. Jessica Rollins survived, but at what cost? The key to humanity’s survival may lie in the backpack she recovered from her father, in data he collected more than thirty years before. Her father’s final words circle around and around in her head.

What does the data mean? Who is the mysterious Ufuk Erdogmus? And what is … Sanctuary?

The Plot against America

By Philip Roth Reader to be announced In an astonishing feat of empathy and narrative invention, our most ambitious novelist imagines an alternate version of American history.

“A remarkable act of historical imagination and one of [Roth’s] most moving novels.”

—People

“A terrific political novel…Sinister, vivid, dreamlike…

You turn the pages, astonished and frightened.”

—New York Times Book Review

“A brilliantly telling and disturbing historical prism by which to refract the American psyche as it pertains to war.”

—Booklist (starred review)

In 1940 Charles A. Lindbergh, heroic aviator and rabid isolationist, is elected president. Shortly thereafter, he negotiates a cordial “understanding” with Adolf Hitler, while the new government embarks on a program of folksy antisemitism. For one boy growing up in Newark, Lindbergh’s election is the first in a series of ruptures that threaten to destroy his small, safe corner of America—and with it, his mother, his father, and his older brother.

PHILIP ROTH is one of the most decorated writers in American history, having won the National Book Critics Circle Award twice, the PEN/Faulkner Award three times, the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and many more awards. In 2001 he received the highest award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the Gold Medal in Fiction, given every six years “for the entire work of the recipient.”

And in “The Case of the Howling Buddhas,” retired Detective Sunderson—a recurring character from Harrison’s New York Times bestseller The Big Seven—is hired as a private investigator to look into a bizarre cult that achieves satori by howling along with howler monkeys at the zoo.

JIM HARRISON is the author of over thirty-five books of poetry, nonfiction, and fiction, including Legends of the Fall, The English Major, and The Farmer’s Daughter. His writing has appeared in the New Yorker, Esquire, Sports Illustrated, Playboy, and the New York Times, and he has earned numerous honors and awards for his writing.

Goodbye to the Dead The Jonathan Stride Series, Book 7

By Brian Freeman Reader to be announced Detective Jonathan Stride’s past and present collide in this gripping, emotional thriller that throws into question many of the stoic investigator’s personal and professional decisions.

“A perfect blend of psychological suspense and crime fiction.”

—Chicago Tribune on Stalked

“Masterfully plotted…Freeman shows how those endless North Shore winters have toughened and aged Stride, closing him off from the world.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Cold Nowhere

It has been almost a decade since Duluth said goodbye to its innocence.

The city creeps ever closer to the tenth anniversary of the year in which it found itself both gripped by murder and united in terror; and during which the pillar of its community, DS Jonathan Stride, had his home and heart torn to ribbons by the claws of cancer. Cat Mateo, an orphan with a knack for landing on her feet, has bid farewell to a life on the streets. This once-stray teenager owes her rescue to Detective Stride, the father figure she holds close to her heart. But Cat holds something else to her chest: a secret, the sheer power of which she could not possibly comprehend. A secret that, once out of the bag, will viciously scratch at Duluth’s stillhealing wounds. It will make Stride wave goodbye to his convictions and say hello to his darkest fears.

BRIAN FREEMAN is an internationally bestselling author of psychological suspense novels, including Immoral, Stripped, Stalked, In the Dark, The Burying Place, The Bone House, and Spilled Blood, which won the 2013 ITW Thriller Award for Best Hardcover Novel. His books have been sold in fortysix countries and twenty languages and have appeared as main selections in the Literary Guild and the Book of the Month Club.

Noonday

By Pat Barker Reader to be announced A new novel from the Booker Prize–winning Pat Barker, author of the Regeneration trilogy, that unforgettably portrays London during the Blitz and reaffirms her place as a top-ranked British novelist

“Strains against its own narrative control to create, in the midst of ordinary life, a kind of deformed reality…

And it succeeds brilliantly.”

—New York Times Book Review on Toby’s Room

“This is a powerful book…Barker triumphs.”

—San Francisco Chronicle on Toby’s Room

London, the Blitz, Autumn 1940. As the bombs fall on the blacked-out city, ambulance driver Elinor Brooke races from bomb sites to hospitals in order to save the lives of injured survivors. She works alongside former friend Kit Neville while her husband, Paul Tarrant, works as an air-raid warden. Once fellow students at the Slade School of Fine Art before the First World War destroyed the hopes of their generation, they now find themselves caught in another war, this time at home. As the bombing intensifies, the constant risk of death makes all three reach out for quick consolation. And into their midst comes the spirit medium Bertha Mason, grotesque and unforgettable, whose ability to make contact with the deceased finds vastly increased demand as death rains down from the skies. Old loves and obsessions resurface until Elinor is brought face-toface with an almost impossible choice. Completing the story that began with Life Class and continued with Toby’s Room, Noonday is both a standalone novel and the climax of a trilogy. Writing about the Second World War for the first time, Pat Barker brings the besieged and haunted city of London into electrifying life in her most powerful novel since the Regeneration trilogy.

In August 1776, a little over a month after the Continental Congress declared independence from Britain, the revolution was on the verge of a disastrous end. General George Washington found his troops outmanned at the Battle of Brooklyn, and it looked like there was no escape. But thanks to a series of desperate rear guard attacks by a single heroic regiment, famously known as the “Immortal 400,” Washington was able to evacuate his men, and the nascent Continental Army lived to fight another day. In Washington’s Immortals, bestselling military historian Patrick K. O’Donnell brings to life the forgotten story of this remarkable band of brothers.

Twisted River A Novel

By Siobhan MacDonald Reader to be announced In this twisty debut psychological thriller, two families agree to a holiday house swap, each wife hoping a vacation will help her troubled marriage. But then a woman is murdered in the driveway of one house in an apparently random attack, and the secrets holding each marriage together start to come to light, with shocking consequences.

“Its title [Twisted River] perfectly matches its thrilling pace and plotting. This is a cracking read, brimful of alltoo-believable characterization, skillfully executed tension, and narrative sleights of hand.”

—Emlyn Rees, Founder of the Dark & Stormy Crime Festival

Limerick, Ireland. The driveway of the Stokes family home. American Oscar Harvey opens the trunk of the car his hosts have loaned him and finds in it the body of a woman beaten and bloody. But let’s start from the beginning. Kate and Mannix Stokes and their children live beside Curragower Falls in Limerick, in a house they love but can barely afford in post-recession Ireland. On top of that, their autistic son Fergus is being bullied at school, and their daughter Izzy blames herself for not being able to protect him. What her family needs, Kate decides, is a vacation. With Mannix back at work, they can just afford it. So when she sees a beautiful Manhattan apartment on a house swap website, it seems like a dream come true. Oscar and his wife, Hazel, live with their two children in a gorgeous apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Though outwardly a successful, happy couple, Hazel has mysterious bruises, and Oscar is hiding some secrets of his own at his dental practice. They too need a vacation, and Hazel has long wanted to take her children back to her native Limerick. The house swap seems like the perfect solution; both Kate and Hazel hope a week away will sooth their troubled marriages. But this is anything but an ideal vacation, and the body in the trunk is only the beginning.

I Swear I’ll Make It Up to You A Life on the Low Road

By Mishka Shubaly Reader to be announced This first full-length book by bestselling Kindle Singles author, rock musician, recovering alcoholic, and ultramarathon runner Mishka Shubaly is a memoir of a bad family, bad living, good drugs, and eventual forgiveness.

“A beaming ray of jet-black sunshine.”

—Village Voice, praise for the author

“The charms of Shubaly’s writing are many…What’s more, Shubaly is earnestly obstinate, yet capable of change; a nihilist, and yet he seeks meaning; a walking contradiction and a joy to spend time with on paper.”

—Amazon.com, editorial review, praise for the author

I Swear I’ll Make It Up to You is the master story of Mishka Shubaly’s nine lives. After surviving a mass shooting, finding out his parents were divorcing, and losing the house he lived in with his family, Shubaly plunged into a seventeen-year love affair with alcohol. In this fiercely honest, emotional book, Shubaly relives the best and worst of these adventures: his destructive romances, his hot-and-cold rock career, and the time he met his newborn nephew while tripping on cough syrup. I Swear I’ll Make It Up to You is a memoir of a precocious young man trying to be good and failing—until, one day, he succeeds. Shubaly’s muscular prose, big heart, and dark wit inflect this grand story of mistakes, their consequences, and eventual redemption.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Maria Martinez has Asperger’s. Convicted of killing a priest, she is alone in prison and has no memory of the murder. DNA evidence places Maria at the scene of the crime, yet she claims she’s innocent. Then she starts to remember: a strange room, strange people, being watched. As Maria gets closer to the truth, she is drawn into a web of international intrigue and must fight not only to clear her name but to remain alive. With a protagonist as original as The Bridge’s Saga Norén, part one in the Project trilogy is as addictive as the Bourne novels.

By Philip Roth Reader to be announced The Prague Orgy, consisting of entries from protagonist Nathan Zuckerman’s notebooks, completes the Nathan Zuckerman series, providing a startling ending to Roth’s intricately designed magnum opus on the unforeseen consequences of art.

“This fitting capstone to Roth’s Zuckerman trilogy proves that no one now writing can be funnier and more passionately serious than Philip Roth.”

(MAY NOT BE FINAL ART) —Time

“Obscenely outrageous and yet brilliantly reflective of a paranoid reality that has become universal. It is the best of Roth, a kind of coda to all his fiction so far.”

—New York Times Book Review

“One of Roth’s most brilliant (and funniest) works…A lithe comic masterpiece.”

—Newsweek

In quest of the unpublished manuscript of a martyred Yiddish writer, the American novelist Nathan Zuckerman travels to Soviet-occupied Prague in the mid-1970s. There, in a nation straightjacketed by totalitarian Communism, he discovers a literary predicament, marked by institutionalized oppression, that is rather different from his own. He also discovers, among the oppressed writers with whom he quickly becomes embroiled in a series of bizarre and poignant adventures, an appealingly perverse kind of heroism.

The Madwoman Upstairs A Novel

By Catherine Lowell Reader to be announced A descendant of the Brontë family embarks on a modern-day literary scavenger hunt to find the family’s long-rumored secret estate, using clues left behind by her eccentric father.

“Catherine Lowell’s terrific first novel is a mystery, a love story, and a very dark comedy with the Brontës, of all people, playing a role back there in the shadows. The book is about the traces that literature and our ancestors leave in us, and it is about memory as a token of love.”

—Charles Baxter, New York Times bestselling author

Samantha Whipple, last descendant of the Brontë family, is rumored to have inherited a portion of the Brontës’ literary estate—diaries, paintings, letters, and drafts—a hidden treasure that has not been shown outside of the family. Samantha has never seen this rumored estate, and she has no interest in it. But everything changes when she enrolls at Oxford and items of her past start mysteriously arriving at her door. As more clues arrive, Samantha realizes that her father left her an elaborate scavenger hunt. With the aid of a handsome Oxford professor, Samantha must decode clues hidden in the Brontës’ own writing to solve a literary mystery and an untold family legacy.

CATHERINE LOWELL received her BA degree in creative writing from Stanford University, where she was awarded the Mary Steinbeck Dekker Award for Fiction and received two Stanford University arts grants. She is the vice president of content creation at the Ivy Company.

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ

By John Owen Reader to be announced

The Death of Death in the Death of Christ is a polemical work, designed to show, among other things, that the doctrine of universal redemption is unscriptural and destructive to the gospel. Those who see no need for doctrinal exactness and have no time for theological debates which show up divisions between evangelicals may well regret its reappearance. Some may find the very sound of Owen’s thesis so shocking that they will refuse to read his book at all. It is to those who share this readiness that Owen’s treatise is offered, in the belief that it will help us in one of the most urgent tasks facing evangelical Christendom today—the recovery of the gospel.

From the deployment of US military forces in Europe and the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 to the surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the voices of history-makers were heard around the world.

This collection contains original remarks and speeches from FDR, Churchill, Truman, MacArthur, Ike, Chamberlain, General Patton, Adolf Hitler, Thomas Dewey, and others.

As early as 1954, a new style of music—a combination of country and rhythm and blues—was unfolding. To the parents of teenagers, it was worrisome, perhaps even evil. In this collection of original recordings from interviews and press conferences, artists including Elvis, Bill Haley, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, and others talk about the early years of rock ’n’ roll, their challenges, and their successes.

A Tale of the Christ

by Lew Wallace Read by Lloyd James

Austen’s best-loved novel captures the affectations of class-conscious eighteenth-century English families with matrimonial aims and rivalries.

The romantic clash between the opinionated Elizabeth and the proud Mr. Darcy is a splendid performance of civilized sparring.

An American classic, Ben-Hur is both a vivid historical epic and the powerful story of one man’s spiritual journey from slavery to redemption. Wrongly accused of attempted murder, Ben-Hur escapes his imprisonment to gain revenge and public glory. But his true destiny lies in his religious awakening.

Having escaped Miss Peregrine’s island by the skin of their teeth, Jacob and his new friends must journey to London, the peculiar capital of the world. Along the way, they encounter new allies, a menagerie of peculiar animals, and other surprises.
