Inspired by the popularity of French graphic 

artist Vahram Muratyan’s original Paris versus 

New York book, here is an expanded largetrim 

edition with more than thirty additional 

new pairings of iconic images from the City of 

Lights and the Big Apple. This deluxe edition is 

a great gift for those who love the warmth and 

wit of Maira Kalman and Christoph Neimann’s 

I Lego New York, the design-savvy eye of The 

Sartorialist, and the adventurous imagination 

of The Atlas of Remote Islands. Muratyan’s 

visually striking graphics paired with witty, 

thought-provoking taglines celebrate the 

special details of each city—favorites of 

denizens from both cities and those happily 

torn in between. 

■ This new expanded edition includes 35 previously 

unpublished spreads, including Debussy vs. Gershwin, 

Marie-Antoinette vs. Madonna, Ballet vs. Basket, and 

Place des Vosges vs. Brooklyn Heights 

■ A hardcover book featuring a larger trim size and striking 

new cover to make an even better gift or collector’s item 

■ Since the publication of the original Paris versus New York, 

Vahram Muratyan has received commissions from Prada, 

Colette, and Le Monde, with exhibitions at Colette in Paris 

and at The Standard in New York City

CLASSIC PENGUIN 

PENGUIN CONGRATULATES MO YAN, 

AUTHOR OF RED SORGHUM AND 

WINNER OF THE 2012 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 

ISBN 978-0-14-016854-9 $17.00 

n Mo Yan is Penguin and Penguin Classics’ 

24th Nobel Prize Winner 

Red Sorghum 

Mo Yan 

Legendary Chinese author and recent Nobel 

Prize winner Mo Yan has been compared 

with writers such as Gabriel García 

Márquez and William Faulkner for his 

ability to interweave folk tale, oral tradition, 

and contemporary social criticism into 

incredible stories of the Chinese experience. 

His award-winning novel, Red Sorghum, 

which inspired an Oscar-nominated film, 

combines fable and history to produce 

fiction that is entirely new and utterly 

unforgettable. Now with a Nobel Prize seal, 

Red Sorghum is sure to catch the eye of new 

readers and old fans alike.

Dear Booksellers, 

Thanks so much for all your efforts on behalf of our books and authors. I hope you have sold a lot of 

Penguins in 2012 and that you’re optimistic about the rest of the year! 

Big fiction leads the way in Summer 2013, with Tana French’s bestselling Broken Harbor coming out 

in May, followed in June by Deborah Harkness’s blockbuster Shadow of Night. 

As you know, we have been building Sophie Hannah’s following over the course of six novels, and it 

seems time to publish this internationally bestselling author in hardcover. Kind of Cruel will come 

out in June and it’s a stunning novel of domestic suspense. 

Over the years we have published some wonderful literary fiction in trade, and this season we have 

two spectacular books: Jack Wolf ’s thrilling and controversial debut The Tale of Raw Head and Bloody 

Bones, and Caleb Crain’s Necessary Errors, an exquisite first novel about the lives and romances 

of young expatriates in newly democratic Prague. I would also draw your attention to A. S. A. 

Harrison’s The Silent Wife, which I hope will attract readers of Gone Girl. 

Two very strong novels—especially for book groups—are Jennie Field’s novel about Edith Wharton’s 

love affair, The Age of Desire, and Cascade by Maryanne O’Hara, the story of a young American 

woman in 1930s New England caught between her promises and her desires. 

Penguin has always published wonderful international mystery writers, and this season includes 

Andrea Camilleri, Donna Leon, M. L. Longworth, and Fred Vargas. We will also bring out the 

international bestseller Malavita by Tonino Benacquista, a comic novel about the Mafia that is soon 

to be a major motion picture starring Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones. 

On the American mystery front, it’s exciting to have As the Crow Flies, the eighth novel in Craig 

Johnson’s bestselling Walt Longmire series, with a second season of A&E’s hit show Longmire 

scheduled for next year. 

For nonfiction readers our lead bestselling titles include Henry Crumpton’s The Art of Intelligence, a 

gripping account of his action-packed career in the CIA’s Clandestine Service; Paul French’s Midnight 

in Peking, the riveting story of a murder in Peking in 1937 just before the Japanese invasion; and 

Pulitzer Prize–winning author Steve Coll’s Private Empire, a monumental exposé of Big Oil. 

On the quirkier side, an upcoming major cable television series prompted us to reissue the story of 

the famous Chateau Marmont hotel, Life at the Marmont, by Raymond Sarlot and Fred E. Basten; and 

in August we will publish Outlaws, the shocking inside story about life in a biker gang. 

I hope you agree that the list is strong and that you have a chance to read some of these 

wonderful books. 

With best wishes, 

Kathryn Court, President and Publisher of Penguin Books

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

Harbor 

A Novel 

Tana French 

Tana French’s rise can only be called meteoric. Starting 

with her award-winning debut, French has scored four 

consecutive New York Times bestsellers and established 

herself as one of the top names in the mystery genre. 

Broken Harbor is quintessential French—a damaged hero, 

an unspeakable crime, and an intricately plotted mystery 

nestled in a timely examination of lives shattered by the 

global economic downturn. 

Mick “Scorcher” Kennedy always brings in the killer. 

Always. That’s why he’s landed this high-profile triple 

homicide. At first, he thinks it’s going to be simple, but 

the murder scene holds terrifying memories for Scorcher. 

Memories of something that happened there back when 

he was a boy. 

TANA FRENCH grew up in Ireland, 

Italy, the United States, and Malawi. Her 

debut novel, In the Woods, won the Edgar, 

Barry, Anthony, and Macavity Awards for 

Best First Novel and the IVCA Clarion Award 

for Best Fiction. She lives in Dublin with her 

husband and daughter. 

“ Every bit as piercingly brilliant as its 

predecessors.” —Chicago Tribune 

“ Salon.com’s Laura Miller has this advice for 

anyone who has not yet read EVERY Tana 

French novel, ‘Just go out and get them right 

now.’ ” —NPR’s Weekend Edition 

“ A psychological thriller of exceptional 

complexity and depth.” —The Washington Post 

“ Compelling . . . French has never been less 

than very good, but Broken Harbor is a 

spellbinder.” —Booklist (starred review)

The Tale of Raw Head 

and Bloody Bones 

A Novel 

Jack Wolf 

Meet Tristan Hart, a brilliant young man of means. The 

year is 1751, and at the age of twenty he leaves home to 

study medicine at the great hospital of St. Thomas in 

London. It will be a momentous year for the intellectually 

ambitious Mr. Hart, who, in addition to being a student of 

Locke and Descartes and a promising young physician, 

is also, alas, psychotic. He is obsessed with the nature of 

pain and medically preventing it, but—equally strong and 

much harder to control —is his obsession with causing it. 

Desperate to understand his deviant desires before they 

are his undoing, he uses the new tools of the age—reason 

and science and skepticism—to plumb the depths of his 

own dark mind. 

Profoundly imaginative, unexpectedly funny, and with 

a strange but moving love story at its heart, The Tale of Raw 

Head and Bloody Bones is an oddly beautiful and daring 

novel about the relationship between the mind and body, 

sex, madness, pain, and the existence of God. 

JACK WOLF is currently studying for a 

Ph.D. and is at work on his second novel. He 

lives in the United Kingdom. 

“ There is no doubting the talent, I might 

even say brilliance, of the author, Jack Wolf . . . 

I simply cannot imagine whence came the idea 

for such a beautifully bizarre story. . . . 

A deeply original and startling 

read.” —S. J. Bolton, author of Blood Harvest

Mrs H. sighed heavily; I sensed her Willpower falter, and

pondered this. Whatever Appellation it was given, whether 

Exhaustion or Melancholy or even—I hesitated—sheer 

Insanity, Mrs H. had been terrified by my Illness. [ . . . ] And 

suddenly, I understood this one, plain, incontrovertible 

Fact: that Mrs H. would let me get away with anything, 

anything at all, if she believed that it would make me sane; 

all I would have to do to influence her would be to threaten 

that I felt unwell again, or, if mere Threat should fail, to 

counterfeit Sickness. 

I pushed back my Chair and rose to my Feet. The red

seemingly, I was quite mad. I smiled.

The Art of Intelligence 

Lessons from a Life in the CIA’s Clandestine Service 

Henry A. Crumpton 

Revelatory and groundbreaking, The Art of Intelligence 

will change the way people view the CIA, American intel- 

ligence, and international terrorism. Henry A. “Hank” 

Crumpton, a twenty-four-year veteran of the CIA’s 

Clandestine Service, offers a thrilling account that delivers 

profound lessons about what it means to serve as an 

honorable spy. From participating in CIA recruiting missions 

in Africa to pioneering new programs like the UAV 

Predator, from running post–9/11 missions in Afghanistan 

to heading up all clandestine CIA operations in the United 

States, Crumpton chronicles his role—in the battlefield 

and in the Oval Office—in transforming the way America 

wages war. 

HENRY A. CRUMPTON is the 

chairman and CEO of Crumpton Group 

LLC, a global business advisory firm. After 

a twenty-four-year career in the CIA’s 

Clandestine Service, he served as the U.S. 

coordinator for counterterrorism with the 

rank of Ambassador at Large. He lives in the 

Washington, D.C., area. 

“ Crumpton’s narrative . . . moves like a 

thriller, presenting a story of ingenuity and 

courage under fire.” —The Wall Street Journal 

“ A lively account . . . combines the 

derring-do of old-fashioned spycraft with 

thoughtful meditations on the future of 

warfare and intelligence work. It deserves to 

be read.” —The Washington Post 

“ Riveting . . . A treasure for every citizen 

who wants to know the sacrifices, courage, and 

strategic vision of the clandestine services in 

war and peace.” —Tom Brokaw

From The Art of Intelligence: 

Some of the best agents began collaboration with the CIA in 

isolated, stressful hardship posts where help from their own 

governments was often limited. On one occasion, I delivered 

porno videos to a recruitment target. Eventually, in a 

team effort, we recruited him. I never met a North Korean 

diplomat who did not want porn, either for personal use or 

resale. U.S. tax dollars for the sexual titillation of North 

Koreans? No problem, if one North Korean source helps the 

CIA understand their nuclear threat. U.S. tax dollars for an 

incorrigible, dubious agent who spent his salary on whores? 

Sure, if he could provide valuable secrets or assessment 

information on other prospective targets, like Hezbollah 

terrorists. An operations officer, however, seldom knows the 

answer to this moral calculus until he recruits and directs 

the agent—and even then results are often uncertain. He 

makes the best assessment possible, continues to test the 

asset, and he and the CIA take on the physical, political, and 

moral risks.

The Orphanmaster 

A Novel of Early Manhattan 

Jean Zimmerman 

In 1663 in the hardscrabble colony of New Amsterdam— 

today’s lower Manhattan—orphan children are going 

missing and residents suspect a serial killer. The list of 

possible culprits is long and strange. Among those looking 

into the mystery are a shrewd young Dutch woman, 

Blandine van Couvering, and a dashing Englishman, 

Edward Drummond, whose newfound romance is threatened 

by horrible accusations. 

In this spellbinding work of historical fiction, Jean 

Zimmerman relates the harsh realities of life in early 

Manhattan, re-creating the sights, smells, and textures of 

the rough settlement surrounded by wilderness and subject 

to political turmoil. Compulsively readable and filled 

with New York history, The Orphanmaster will delight 

fans of Caleb Carr, Hilary Mantel, and Geraldine Brooks. 

JEAN ZIMMERMAN is the author 

several works of nonfiction, including Love, 

Fiercely: A Gilded Age Romance and The 

Women of the House: How a Colonial She- 

Merchant Built a Mansion, a Fortune, and a 

Dynasty. She lives in Ossining, New York. This 

is her first novel. 

“ The ideal historical mystery for readers who 

value the history as much as the mystery.” 

—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book 

Review 

“Immersive . . . exhilarating.” 

—USA Today 

“ A thriller, love story, and costume drama in 

one.” —Good Housekeeping 

“ A sweeping novel of great and precise 

imaginative intelligence; it’s also the most 

entertaining and believable 

historical novel I’ve read in years.” 

—Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life and 

Chang and Eng

Midnight in Peking 

How the Murder of a Young Englishwoman Haunted the Last Days of Old China 

Paul French 

Chronicling an incredible unsolved murder, Midnight in 

Peking captures the aftermath of the brutal killing of a 

British schoolgirl in January 1937. The mutilated body of 

Pamela Werner was found at the base of the Fox Tower, 

which, according to local superstition, is home to the maliciously 

seductive fox spirits. As British detective Dennis 

and Chinese detective Han investigate, the mystery only 

deepens and, in a city on the verge of invasion, rumor and 

superstition run rampant. Based on seven years of research 

by historian and China expert Paul French, this true-crime 

thriller presents readers with a rare and unique portrait 

of the last days of colonial Peking. 

PAUL FRENCH lives in Shanghai, 

where he is a business advisor and analyst 

He frequently comments on China for the 

English-speaking press around the world. 

French studied history, economics, and 

Mandarin at university and has an M.Phil in 

economics from the University of Glasgow. 

“ Never less than fascinating . . . One 

of the best portraits of between-the-wars 

China that has yet been written.” 

—The Wall Street Journal 

“ Compulsively readable.” 

—The Atlantic 

“ This is a good murder story, well told, with all 

the additional pleasures that a knowledgeable 

tour guide to old China can provide. 

Grateful readers could scarcely 

ask for more.” —Joseph Kanon, author of 

Istanbul Passage, in The Washington Post

couldn’t put it down.” —John Berendt,

As the Crow Flies 

A Walt Longmire Mystery 

Craig Johnson 

The recent A&E premiere of Longmire—a television series 

based on Craig Johnson’s New York Times–bestselling Walt 

Longmire Mystery Series—was the highest-rated scripted 

drama in the network’s history and consistently held its 

viewers throughout the season. Its success has readers 

stampeding to the bookstore, making As the Crow Flies 

Johnson’s biggest hardcover success. 

In his eighth adventure, Walt Longmire doesn’t have 

time for criminals. His daughter is getting married in two 

weeks, and the wedding locale arrangements have just 

gone up in smoke. He needs to find a new site for the nuptials—fast. 

Unfortunately, his expedition to the Cheyenne 

Reservation is derailed by a grisly death. It’s not Walt’s turf, 

but he’s coerced into the investigation by Lolo Long, the 

beautiful new tribal police chief. 

CRAIG JOHNSON lives in Ucross, 

Wyoming, population twenty-five. 

“ Walt continues to be excellent 

company.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York 

Times Book Review 

“ A rich and satisfying series.” 

—Houston Chronicle 

Praise for the A&E television series, Longmire: 

“ Based on the novels by Craig Johnson . . . 

Longmire is the best of two worlds: 

a modern crime drama with dry wit and 

sometimes heart-wrenching emotion that’s 

also got a glorious setting under the big sky of 

Wyoming.” —The Wall Street Journal

Someone is killing off Wall Street’s 

shadiest financiers, and only Silas Cade 

can get to the bottom of it 

Clawback 

A Silas Cade Thriller 

Mike Cooper 

With breakneck pacing, nonstop action, and cutting-edge details 

from today’s financial intelligence technology, Clawback offers 

a stunning narrative set in the world of Too Big to Fail. Silas 

Cade, a black-ops vet and gray-zone contractor, is no stranger to 

gunslinging or shady finance. After coming home from America’s 

wars abroad, he becomes an “accountant”—the go-to for Wall 

Street financiers who need jobs done quickly, quietly, and by any 

means necessary. Hired by a major player to visit a tanking hedge 

fund manager and extract ten million dollars in clawback—the 

mandatory return of compensation paid on a deal that goes bad— 

Silas instead discovers that someone is killing off bankers all over 

New York.

Chateau Marmont 

Raymond Sarlot and 

Fred E. Basten 

Raymond Sarlot bought the Chateau Marmont in 1975, but what 

was originally a business purchase became a love affair as he delved 

into the hotel’s incredible history. From its perch overlooking 

the Sunset Strip, the glamorous Marmont reigned for decades as 

the spot for artists, writers, musicians, and actors of every stripe 

and remains a home-away-from-home for A-listers like Scarlett 

Johansson and Johnny Depp. Here, Sarlot and coauthor Fred E. 

Basten share a wealth of scandalous and intriguing tales about 

them all, from the stars of Hollywood’s Golden Era like Jean 

Harlow and Grace Kelly to idols of the sixties and seventies like 

Jim Morrison and John Belushi (who tragically died there in 

1982). Whether your obsession is Hollywood history or celebrity 

gossip, Life at the Marmont has plenty of gripping, juicy stories.

Cascade 

A Novel 

Maryanne O’Hara 

Fans of Richard Russo, Amor Towles, Sebastian Barry, and Paula 

McLain will devour this transporting novel about the eternal tug 

between our duties and our desires, set in New York City and New 

England during the Depression and New Deal eras. 

It’s 1935, and Desdemona Hart Spaulding has sacrificed her 

plans to work as an artist in New York to care for her bankrupt, 

ailing father in Cascade, Massachusetts. When he dies, Dez finds 

herself caught in a marriage of convenience, bound to the promise 

she made to save her father’s Shakespeare Theater, even as her 

town may be flooded to create a reservoir for Boston. When she 

falls for artist Jacob Solomon, she sees a chance to escape and 

realize her New York ambitions, but is it morally possible to set 

herself free?

Swimming to Elba 

A Novel 

Silvia Avallone 

Translated by Antony Shugaar 

They were always a pair: daring, intelligent Anna, and 

breathtakingly gorgeous Francesca. Just shy of fourteen, their 

newly acquired curves and skimpy bathing suits have earned 

them celebrity status on the beaches of their gritty town, where 

the glittering resort island of Elba taunts them from across the 

bay. The girls, aware of their new power, are on the brink of 

everything—high school, adulthood, ambition—but when their 

intense friendship suffers a blow, each sets off on her own, only 

to learn that the “glamorous” world of adult physicality can be 

at best banal and at worst dehumanizing. As their choices take 

them to a painful crossroads, they must reconnect if they have 

any hope of escaping their small-town destinies. 

Frank, sensual, and evocative of the Academy Award– 

winning Cinema Paradiso and the international bestseller The 

Solitude of Prime Numbers, Swimming to Elba is a harrowing yet 

redemptive meditation on politics, family, sex, and the power of 

friendship.

our rapidly dwindling marine life. Passionate and persuasive, 

The Ocean of Life is a wake-up call that will appeal to anyone who 

loves the sea and its creatures.

From a remarkable father-daughter team comes a dramatic synthesis

how, eventually, we have come to understand our own past. 

The Pleistocene is the epoch of geologic time closest to our 

own. The Last Lost World is an inquiry into the conditions that 

made it, the themes that define it, and the creature that emerged 

dominant from it. At the same time, it tells how we came to discover 

and understand this crucial period in the Earth’s history and 

what meanings it has for today.

The #1 New York Times–bestselling sequel to 

A Discovery of Witches is “enchanting, 

engrossing, and as impossible to put down as 

its predecessor” (Miami Herald)

DEBORAH HARKNESS 

SHADOW OF NIGHT 

BOOK TWO OF THE ALL SOULS TRILOGY 

“ A great spell, one that can enchant a reader and make a 600-page book 

fly through her fingertips, is cast.” 

—Entertainment Weekly 

“ Fans of Harkness’s 2011 debut A Discovery of Witches will be delighted. . . . 

She delivers enough romance and excitement to keep the pages turning. 

Readers will devour it.” —People 

“ Deborah Harkness takes us places we’ve never been before. . . . Shadow ends 

as Discovery did, with promises of more to come. Lucky for us.” —USA Today 

“ Rich, period fun, particularly delightful in its witty characterizations of 

historical immortals . . . Shadow ramps up the supernatural suspense.” 

—New York Daily News 

“ Harkness exudes her own style of magic in making the world of late 16th century 

England come alive. . . . If you’ve already read and enjoyed A Discovery of Witches, 

picking up Shadow of Night is an absolute requirement. Otherwise, pick up both,

of Night 

A Novel 

Deborah Harkness 

J. K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, Anne Rice—only a few writers capture the imagination the way that 

Deborah Harkness has done with books one and two of her New York Times–bestselling All Souls trilogy. 

A Discovery of Witches introduced reluctant witch Diana Bishop, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont, 

and the battle for a lost, enchanted manuscript known as Ashmole 782. 

Harkness’s much-anticipated sequel, Shadow of Night, picks up from A Discovery of Witches’ cliffhanger 

ending. Diana and Matthew time-travel to Elizabethan London and are plunged into a world of 

spies, magic, and a coterie of Matthew’s old friends, the School of Night. As the search for Ashmole 782 

deepens and Diana searches for a witch to tutor her in magic, the net of Matthew’s past tightens around 

them, and they embark on a very different—and vastly more dangerous—journey.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 

Kind of Cruel 

A Novel 

Sophie Hannah 

Amber Hewerdine suffers from chronic insomnia. As a last 

resort, she visits a hypnotherapist, doubtful that anything 

will really change. Under hypnosis, Amber hears herself 

saying, “Kind, cruel, kind of cruel.” The words awaken a 

vague memory, but she dismisses the whole episode as 

nonsense. Two hours later, however, Amber is arrested for 

the brutal murder of a woman she’s never heard of, and 

the only way she can clear her name is by remembering 

exactly where she’s seen those words. 

Kind of Cruel—the latest page-turner featuring 

Detectives Charlotte “Charlie” Zailer and Simon 

Waterhouse—will enthrall Hannah’s ever-growing 

readership. 

SOPHIE HANNAH is the author of six 

novels and is also an award-winning poet. 

She lives in Cambridge, England, with her 

husband and two children. 

Praise for Sophie Hannah: 

“ Hannah . . . understands 

psychological mayhem as well 

as Ruth Rendell and maybe even 

Sigmund Freud.” —Kirkus Reviews 

“ Hannah goes in for all those bizarre plot twists 

and outlandish behaviors that have come to 

define the psychological suspense story, but 

she does it with style and wit.” 

—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times 

Book Review 

“ So convincing—and so unsettling. 

Hannah takes domestic scenarios, adds 

disquieting touches, and turns up the 

suspense until you’re checking under the bed 

for murders.” —The Independent

Private Empire 

ExxonMobil and American Power 

Steve Coll 

In this, the first hard-hitting examination of ExxonMobil— 

the largest and most powerful private corporation in the 

United States—Steve Coll reveals the true extent of its 

power. Private Empire pulls back the curtain, tracking 

the corporation’s recent history and its central role on 

the world stage beginning with the Exxon Valdez accident 

in 1989 and leading to the Deepwater Horizon oil 

spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The action—featuring 

kidnapping cases, civil wars, and high-stakes struggles at 

the Kremlin—spans the globe and the narrative is driven 

by larger-than-life characters, including corporate legend 

Lee “Iron Ass” Raymond, ExxonMobil’s chief executive 

until 2005. A penetrating, news-breaking study, Private 

Empire is a defining portrait of Big Oil in American politics 

and foreign policy. 

STEVE COLL is a regular contributor to 

the New Yorker and the author of the Pulitzer 

Prize–winning Ghost Wars and, most recently, 

the New York Times bestseller The Bin Ladens. 

“ Private Empire is meticulous, multiangled 

and valuable. . . . Mr. Coll’s 

prose sweeps the earth like an IMAX camera.” 

—Dwight Garner, The New York Times 

“ A masterful study of Big Oil’s biggest player . . . 

A must-read.” —San Francisco Chronicle 

“ Fascinating . . . A book meticulously 

prepared as if for trial . . . A compelling and 

elucidatory work.” —Bloomberg BusinessWeek

Little Night 

A Novel 

Luanne Rice 

Luanne Rice knows women. The author of thirty-one 

novels, Rice is a master at creating vivid female characters 

and capturing their complex family dynamics, and Little 

Night is one of her most powerful novels yet. 

Clare Burke’s life took a devastating turn when she 

defended her sister, Anne, from an abusive husband and 

ended up serving prison time for assault. Nearly twenty 

years later—long estranged from her sister—Clare is 

living a quiet life in Manhattan as an urban birder and 

nature blogger, until Anne’s daughter, Grit, shows up on 

her doorstep. When it appears that Anne has followed Grit, 

each woman wonders what their long-awaited reunion 

will bring. Little Night is a riveting story about women and 

the primal, tangled family ties that bind them together. 

LUANNE RICE is a native of 

Connecticut and divides her time between 

New York City and Southern California. 

“ Poetic and thrilling . . . Beautifully 

combines [Rice’s] love of nature and the power 

of family.” —Publishers Weekly 

(starred review) 

“ An outstanding read that both chills 

and warms the soul. . . . Highly recommended.” 

—Library Journal (starred review) 

“ Rice reaches the satisfying conclusion that 

while wounds run deep, love runs deeper.”

“ A classic Rice page-turner.”

rare vintages. Soon after, Monsieur Gilles d’Arras reports that his 

wife, Pauline, has vanished from their lavish apartment. As Judge

a little help from Marine Bonnet), they receive an urgent call: 

Bonnard has just found Madame d’Arras—dead in his vineyard.

The Bellwether Revivals 

A Novel 

Benjamin Wood 

When bright and bookish Oscar Lowe follows the haunting sound 

of an organ into the chapel of Kings College, Cambridge, one day, 

his whole world changes. He meets a beautiful and seductive medical 

student, Iris Bellwether, and her charismatic and troubled 

brother Eden. Oscar is seduced by their life of scholarship and 

privilege, but when Eden convinces Iris and her close-knit group 

of friends to participate in a series of disturbing experiments, 

Oscar fears he has entered into something from which he cannot 

escape. Reminiscent of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History, The 

Bellwether Revivals is a gripping exploration of the line between 

genius and madness that will hold readers spellbound until its 

breathtaking conclusion.

The Cause 

The Fight for American Liberalism from Franklin Roosevelt to 

Barack Obama 

Eric Alterman and Kevin Mattson 

Why is it that nearly every liberal initiative since the end of the 

New Deal—whether busing, urban development, affirmative action, 

welfare, gun control, or Roe v. Wade—has fallen victim to its 

grand aspirations, often exacerbating the very problem it seeks 

to solve? In this groundbreaking work, the first full treatment of 

modern American liberalism, bestselling journalist and historian 

Eric Alterman together with Kevin Mattson present a comprehensive 

history of this proud yet frequently maligned tradition. 

In The Cause, we meet the politicians, preachers, intellectuals, 

artists, and activists—from Eleanor Roosevelt to Barack Obama, 

Adlai Stevenson to Hubert Humphrey, and Billie Holiday to 

Bruce Springsteen—who have battled for the heart and soul of 

the nation.

The Narrow Circle 

Nathan Hoks 

Selected by Dean Young 

John Ashbery called Reveilles, Nathan Hoks’s debut book, a 

“dazzling” collection and Hoks a poet whose “fine gradations of 

observation turn the reader into a barometer of strong subtleties 

like those of the weather, that can be minute even as they effect us 

powerfully.” The poems in Hoks’s new book, The Narrow Circle, 

perform a similar magic. In associative lyrics and fabulist prose, 

Hoks explores inner and outer experiences. The poems frequently 

focus on the body as a membrane where everything becomes 

inside-out—where the “face disperses with angels of teeth and 

loam,” where “sky comes out of the mouth,” where a giant green 

worm “burrows a hole in the head,” and where the heart is a vestibule 

that cannot be closed. Suites of pictures within the text further 

delineate this inward-outward pull, offering visualizations of 

interior voices and sketches of exterior shadows.

From a prizewinning poet, a new 

collection that examines the myth and 

history of the prizefighter Jack Johnson 

The Big Smoke 

Adrian Matejka 

The legendary Jack Johnson (1878–1946) was a true American 

creation. The child of emancipated slaves, he overcame the violent 

segregationism of Jim Crow, challenging white boxers—and 

white America—becoming the first African-American heavyweight 

world champion. The Big Smoke, Adrian Matejka’s third 

work of poetry, follows the fighter’s journey from poverty to the 

most coveted title in sports through the multilayered voices of 

Johnson and the white women he brazenly loved. Matejka’s book 

is part historic reclamation and part interrogation of Johnson’s 

complicated legacy, one that often misremembers the magnetic 

man behind the myth. 

ADRIAN MATEJKA is a graduate of the Southern 

Illinois University Carbondale MFA program. The author of The 

Devil’s Garden and Mixology, his work has appeared in the 

American Poetry Review, the Crab Orchard Review, and Prairie 

Schooner. He teaches creative writing and English literature at 

Indiana University.

The Age of Desire 

A Novel of Edith Wharton 

Jennie Fields 

It has been said that behind every great man is a 

great woman. Behind Edith Wharton, there was Anna 

Bahlmann—her governess turned literary secretary and 

confidante. At the age of forty-five, despite her growing 

fame, Edith remains unfulfilled in a lonely, sexless 

marriage. Against all the rules of Gilded Age society, 

she falls in love with Morton Fullerton, a dashing young 

journalist. But their scandalous affair threatens everything 

in Edith’s life—especially her abiding ties to Anna. 

At a moment of regained popularity for Wharton, 

Jennie Fields brilliantly weaves Wharton’s real letters 

and diary entries with her fascinating, untold love story. 

Told from the points of view of both Edith and Anna, The 

Age of Desire transports readers to the golden days of 

Wharton’s turn-of-the century world and—like the recent 

bestseller The Chaperone—effortlessly re-creates the life 

of an unforgettable woman. 

JENNIE FIELDS received an MFA from 

the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. The author of the 

novels Lily Beach, Crossing Brooklyn Ferry, 

and The Middle Ages, she spent twenty-five 

years as an advertising creative director in 

New York and now lives with her husband in 

Nashville, Tennessee. 

“ Somewhere between the repressiveness of 

Edith Wharton’s early-twentieth-century Age 

of Innocence and our own libertine Shades of 

Grey era lies the absorbingly sensuous 

world of Jennie Fields’s The Age of Desire.” 

—The Boston Globe 

“ Fields brings a secret side of 

Wharton to life and shows us a woman 

whose elegant façade concealed a turbulent 

sensuality.” —Daisy Goodwin, author of The 

American Heiress 

“ In the vein of Loving Frank or The Paris Wife, 

Jennie Fields has created a page-turning 

period piece.” —Mary Morris, author of 

Nothing to Declare and Revenge

From The Age of Desire: 

Anna takes a deep breath and tries to find the even tone 

she once used when her students provoked her. “He loves 

you. He counts on you. You made a vow. You have a 

responsibility. If we all pursued nothing but happiness, 

the world would crumble. We’d be adrift in a sea.” 

“Look at me,” Edith says. “Do you see me before you? 

Well, it’s a miracle, because I’ve been dead for years. 

I am finally tasting life. How can you ask me to spit it 

out?” 

Anna sits down in the chair by the desk, singed by 

Edith’s incendiary gaze. What can she say? What can she 

do? She is not equal to the task. “Is Fullerton the sort of 

man you can trust?”

The Secret History of America’s Thirty-Year Conflict with Iran 

David Crist 

For the past three decades, the United States and Iran have been 

engaged in an unacknowledged secret war. This conflict has frustrated 

five American presidents, divided administrations, and repeatedly 

threatened to bring the two nations to the brink of open 

warfare. Drawing upon unparalleled access to senior officials and 

key documents of several U.S. administrations, David Crist, a 

senior historian in the federal government, breaks new ground on 

virtually every page of The Twilight War. From the Iranian Revolution 

to secret negotiations between Iran and the United States 

after 9/11 to Iran’s nuclear program and sanctions against it, Crist 

brings vital new depth to our understanding of “the Iran problem”—and 

what the future of this tense relationship may bring.

A Novel 

A. S. A. Harrison 

Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at

rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. 

She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes 

to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left 

to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage 

in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, 

concessions that can’t be made, and promises that won’t be kept. 

Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things

Bill Wasik and Monica Murphy 

The most fatal virus known to science, rabies—a disease that 

spreads rapidly from animals to humans—kills nearly one hundred 

percent of its victims once the infection takes root in the brain. 

In this critically acclaimed exploration, journalist Bill Wasik and 

veterinarian Monica Murphy chart four thousand years of the

Malavita 

A Novel 

Tonino Benacquista 

The Blakes are newcomers to a small town in Normandy, France. 

Fred is a historian researching the Allied landings, Maggie enjoys 

charity work, and their kids are looking forward to meeting other 

teenagers at the local lycée. Or so it seems. 

In fact, Fred is really Giovanni Manzoni, an ex-goodfella 

turned stool pigeon who’s been relocated from New Jersey to 

France by the FBI’s witness protection program. He’s got a twomillion-dollar 

bounty on his head, but he and his family can’t 

help attracting attention (imagine the Sopranos in Normandy). 

And when imprisoned mobster Don Mimino gets wind of their 

location, it’s Mafia mayhem à la Josh Bazell’s Beat the Reaper, or 

like The Godfather as if written by Carl Hiaasen. Because while 

you can take the man out of the Mafia, you can’t take the Mafia out 

of the man.

An inspiring story of redemption, from a 

young girl who grew up on the streets but 

found the strength to succeed 

Runaway Girl 

Escaping Life on the Streets 

Carissa Phelps with Larkin Warren 

At age twelve Carissa Phelps ran away from abuse and neglect at 

home, lived on the streets, and was discreetly abducted and sold 

by a savage pimp. She was repeatedly sent to juvenile hall and to 

group homes that would house her but rarely see to her needs. Yet 

with a few helping hands, she accomplished the unimaginable, 

earning both a law degree and an MBA from UCLA. Her accomplishments 

meant she could leave the streets behind, but her success 

only drew her closer to other children in need; she is now a 

mentor, a crisis counselor, and an advocate for runaway and homeless 

youth. This is the tale of a girl who, despite the odds, found 

her strength and faith through the kindness of strangers. Like the 

multimillion-copy bestseller The Glass Castle, this memoir moves 

us with the power of its unflinching candor and generosity.

A Story of Perfume, Pleasure, and an Unlikely Bride

Alyssa Harad’s affair with scent begins in secret, late at night, by the

of quirky characters that changes her mind about much more than 

perfume. Candid, elegant, and full of lush description and humor, 

Coming to My Senses takes readers from a private museum of rare

of Manhattan and finally to a homecoming in Boise, Idaho, to 

prepare for Harad’s wedding. This deeply personal story reveals 

the intimate connections between scent, our senses, and the 

people we are and want to become.

Necessary Errors 

A Novel 

Caleb Crain 

It’s October 1990. Jacob Putnam is young and full of ideas. 

He has arrived a year too late to witness Czechoslovakia’s 

revolution, but he still hopes to find its spirit, somehow. He 

discovers a country at a crossroads between communism 

and capitalism, and a picturesque city overflowing with 

a vibrant, searching sense of possibility. As the men and 

women Jacob meets begin to fall in love with one another, 

no one turns out to be quite the same as the idea Jacob has 

of them—including Jacob himself. 

Necessary Errors is the long-awaited first novel from 

literary critic and journalist Caleb Crain. Shimmering 

and expansive, Crain’s prose richly captures the turbulent 

feelings and discoveries of youth as it stretches toward 

adulthood—the chance encounters that grow into lasting, 

unforgettable experiences and the surprises of our first 

ventures into a foreign world—and the treasure of living 

in Prague during an era of historic change. 

CALEB CRAIN is a frequent contributor 

to the New Yorker, the New York Review 

of Books, the Nation, the New York Times 

Magazine, the London Review of Books, n+1, 

the Paris Review Daily, and the New York 

Times Book Review. A graduate of Harvard 

and Columbia, he is the author of the 

critical work American Sympathy. He lives in 

Brooklyn, New York. 

“ Caleb Crain’s beautiful novel is a real feat 

of memory and invention, which 

captures the feeling of being young, sensitive, 

and vaguely but intensely ambitious better 

than anything I know in recent fiction. 

Everything in Necessary Errors feels both 

transitory and indelible, and isn’t that the 

way?” —Benjamin Kunkel, author of Indecision 

“ Caleb Crain describes a young man’s and a 

country’s first tastes of freedom with a lucid 

and matter-of-fact intelligence. Necessary 

Errors offers an invaluable record of Prague 

at the beginning of the 1990s in a style that 

places it among the great novels of Americans 

abroad. It’s The Ambassadors for the 

generation that came of age with 

the downfall of the Soviet Union.” 

—Marco Roth, author of The Scientists

From Necessary Errors: 

Jacob had arrived in Prague with a project. He couldn’t 

see that he was carrying it; to see that would have required 

standing a little farther outside himself than he was able 

to. He would have said it was a mood, if anyone had asked, 

or maybe a spirit, if he was writing in the privacy of his 

journal. But he wouldn’t have understood that it took the 

shape of a story he wanted to live out. It was a common 

enough project for an earnest, idealistic young person who 

was comfortable with only one pleasure, reading, and who 

had graduated from college in the year of the protest in 

Tiananmen Square, the breaching of the Berlin Wall, and 

the Velvet Revolution, so that his first personal experience 

of adult freedom—which he knew didn’t count for much 

in the grand scheme of things but which he felt with great 

intensity—seemed echoed by the wider world.

Saving the School 

One Woman’s Fight for the Kids 

That Education Reform Left Behind 

Michael Brick 

Being principal of Reagan High in Austin, Texas, was no dream 

assignment. Test scores were low, dropout rates were high, and 

poverty was endemic. But when Anabel Garza took the job, she 

started something no one expected. Racing against a deadline just 

to make the numbers, she set out to rebuild the kind of school that 

once unified neighborhoods across America. By her side, a basketball 

coach showed kids they could be winners, a young science 

teacher showed them they could learn, and a community rallied 

around a treasured institution. In this powerful rejoinder to the 

prevailing winds of education policy, Michael Brick takes readers 

inside the high-pressure world of a school on the brink. Paying 

overdue tribute to a vital tradition—the great American high 

school —Saving the School exposes the flaws of a broken system 

but also tells an inspiring story of faith, hope, and perseverance.

John Cage, Zen Buddhism, and the Inner Life of Artists 

Kay Larson 

Composer John Cage sought the silence of a mind at peace 

with itself and found it in Zen Buddhism, a spiritual path that 

changed both his music and his view of the universe. “Remarkably 

researched, exquisitely written,” Where the Heart Beats weaves 

together “a great many threads of cultural history” (Maria Popova, 

Brain Pickings) to illuminate Cage’s struggle to accept himself 

and his relationship with choreographer Merce Cunningham. 

Freed to be his own man, Cage originated exciting experiments 

that set him at the center of a new avant-garde forming in the 

1950s. Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Yoko 

Ono, Allan Kaprow, Morton Feldman, and Leo Castelli were 

among those influenced by his teaching and preaching. Where

Outlaws 

One Man’s Rise Through the Savage World 

of Renegade Bikers, Hell’s Angels and Global Crime 

Tony Thompson 

As a member of the international motorcycle club known as the 

Pagans, Daniel “Snake Dog” Boone had a ringside seat to some 

of the most violent biker battles ever fought. When he joined 

his small-town club in the early 1980s, Boone could never have 

imagined that the ragtag group would one day grow to become a 

part of the Outlaws, a major gang that would challenge the Hell’s 

Angels for supremacy around the globe in a battle lasting decades. 

Through Boone’s eyes, true-crime master Tony Thompson takes 

us into the fray, and into the heart of a shocking subculture.

The Strange Story of Integration in America 

Tanner Colby 

Frank, funny, and incisive, Some of My Best Friends Are Black 

offers a profoundly honest portrait of race in America. In a book 

that is part reportage, part history, part social commentary, 

Tanner Colby explores why the civil rights movement ultimately 

produced such little true integration in schools, neighborhoods, 

offices, and churches—the very places where social change most 

needed to unfold. Weaving together the personal, intimate stories 

of everyday people—black and white—Colby reveals the strange, 

sordid history of what was supposed to be the end of Jim Crow, 

but turned out to be more of the same with no name. He shows us 

how far we have come in our journey to leave mistrust and anger 

behind—and how far all of us have left to go.

More Than Freedom 

Fighting for Black Citizenship in a White Republic, 1829–1889 

Stephen Kantrowitz 

In More Than Freedom, award-winning historian Stephen 

Kantrowitz offers a bold rethinking of the Civil War era. 

He shows how the fight to abolish slavery was always part 

of a much broader campaign by African Americans to 

claim full citizenship and to remake the white republic 

into a place where they could belong. More Than Freedom 

chronicles this epic struggle through the lives of black and 

white abolitionists in and around Boston, including Frederick 

Douglass, Senator Charles Sumner, and lesser known but 

equally important figures. Their bold actions helped bring 

about the Civil War, set the stage for Reconstruction, and left 

the nation forever altered. 

n The newest volume in the Penguin History of American Life series 

STEPHEN KANTROWITZ is the author of Ben 

Tillman and the Reconstruction of White Supremacy, which 

was a New York Times Notable Book and won several scholarly 

awards. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin.

An inside baseball memoir from the 

game’s first superstar, with a foreword 

by Chad Harbach 

Pitching in a Pinch 

Baseball from the Inside 

Christy Mathewson 

Foreword by Chad Harbach 

Afterword by Red Smith 

Christy Mathewson was one of the most dominant pitchers ever 

to play baseball. Posthumously inducted into the Baseball Hall 

of Fame as one of the “Five Immortals,” he was an unstoppable 

force on the mound, winning at least twenty-two games for twelve 

straight seasons and pitching three complete-game shutouts in 

the 1905 World Series. Pitching in a Pinch, his witty and digestible 

book of baseball insights, stories, and wisdom, was first published 

in 1912 and presents readers with Mathewson’s plainspoken perspective 

on the diamond of yore—on the players, the chances they 

took, the jinxes they believed in, and, most of all, their love of the 

game. Baseball fans will love to read firsthand accounts of the 

infamous Merkle’s Boner incident, Giants manager John McGraw, 

and the unstoppable Johnny Evers and to learn how much—and 

just how little—has really changed in a hundred years.

edition of his best-loved book 

Appointment in Samarra 

John O’Hara 

Introduction by Charles McGrath 

One of the great novels of small-town American life, Appointment 

in Samarra is John O’Hara’s crowning achievement. In December 

1930, just before Christmas, the Gibbsville, Pennsylvania, social 

circuit is electrified with parties and dances. At the center of the 

social elite stand Julian and Caroline English. But in one rash moment 

born inside a highball glass, Julian breaks with polite society 

and begins a rapid descent toward self-destruction. 

Brimming with wealth and privilege, jealousy and infidelity, 

O’Hara’s iconic first novel is an unflinching look at the dark side 

of the American dream—and a lasting testament to the keen social 

intelligence of a major American writer. 

n Exclusive to Penguin Classics 

n A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition featuring french flaps and 

deckle-edged paper 

n The first of four books of O’Hara’s coming to Penguin Classics 

n For fans of Revolutionary Road and The Great Gatsby 

n Available in e-book for the first time 

JOHN O’HARA (1905–1970) was among the most prominent 

American writers of the twentieth century. Championed by Ernest 

Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Dorothy Parker, he wrote 

fourteen novels, including BUtterfield 8, which was made into a 

film starring Elizabeth Taylor. O’Hara had more stories published in 

the New Yorker than anyone in the history of the magazine.

Thomas à Kempis

Introduction by Max von Habsburg 

A passionate celebration of God and his love, mercy, and holiness, 

The Imitation of Christ has inspired conversion and stimulated 

religious devotion for more than five hundred years. With great 

personal conviction, the medieval monk Thomas à Kempis 

demonstrates the individual’s reliance on God and on the words 

of Christ, and the futility of life without faith. Thomas spent 

some seventy years of his life in the reclusive environment of 

monasteries, yet in this astonishing work he demonstrates an 

encompassing understanding of human nature. His writing 

speaks to readers of every age and every nationality. 

n First new Penguin Classics translation in more than 60 years

monk and priest who served as chronicler of the monastery at 

Mount Saint Agnes in what was the Holy Roman Empire. 

ROBERT JEFFERY was ordained in 1959 and has written on

A highly decorated English soldier and an acclaimed poet 

and novelist, Siegfried Sassoon won fame for his trilogy of 

fictionalized autobiographies that wonderfully capture the 

vanishing idylls of Edwardian England and the brutal realities 

of war. The first in the series, Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting 

Man, is Sassoon’s account of his privileged childhood and 

his enlistment in the British Army channeled through the 

character of George Sherston. Memoirs of an Infantry Officer 

and Sherston’s Progress follow the young soldier deep into the 

trenches of the Western Front, his hospitalization after being 

wounded, and his ultimate dedication to the antiwar cause. 

As do Ernst Jünger’s Storm of Steel, Humphrey Cobb’s Paths 

of Glory, and Richard Aldington’s Death of a Hero, Sassoon’s 

novels provide a poignant view of the Great War and its 

horrific impact.

JORGE AMADO 

Captains of the Sands 

Translated by Gregory Rabassa 

Introduction by Colm Tóibín 

A Brazilian Lord of the Flies, about a gang of orphans and 

runaways who live by their wits and daring in the slums 

of Bahia, Captains of the Sands is a favorite among Jorge 

Amado’s novels. The boys—including the leader, fifteenyear-old 

Bullet; the crafty liar, Legless; the intellectual 

Professor; and the sexually precocious Cat—dodge and 

dupe the rich and privileged of Brazil. But when a public 

outcry demands their capture, this vivid portrait of a 

divided culture becomes a poignant, intensely moving 

drama of love and freedom. 

The Violent Land 

Translated by Samuel Putnam 

Introduction by Alfred Mac Adam 

Foreword by Jorge Amado 

Two powerful families scheme to control Brazil’s lush, 

cocoa-growing forests in this exotic novel of greed, 

madness, and seduction that does for Brazil’s cocoa 

rush what Upton Sinclair’s Oil! did for the early days 

of California oil prospecting. With its cast of assassins, 

gamblers, opportunists, and beautiful women, The 

Violent Land is an unbridled adventure novel set among 

the power dealers of one of Brazil’s most profitable and 

coveted natural resources. 

“ Amado is Brazil’s most illustrious 

and venerable novelist.” 


“ Brazil’s leading man of letters . . . Amado is 

adored around the world!” —Newsweek 

“ Passionate and supremely moving . . . A 

big, brawling novel about the cacao-rush to 

southern Bahia. Everything in it is on 

a heroic scale.” —The New York Times on 


“ No other of my books is as dear to me; in it lie 

my roots; it is of the blood from which I was 

created.” —Jorge Amado, from the foreword to 


JORGE AMADO (1912–2001) was born in the state of Bahia, Brazil, 

whose society he portrays in such acclaimed novels as Gabriela, Clove and 

Cinnamon and Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands. 

GREGORY RABASSA is a National Book Award–winning translator

One of literature’s first, greatest, and 

most dastardly gentleman rogues finally 

joins the Penguin Classics crime list 

A Prince of Swindlers 

Guy Boothby 

Introduction by Gary Hoppenstand 

First published in 1900, A Prince of Swindlers introduces Simon 

Carne, a gentleman thief predating both E. W. Hornung’s A. J. 

Raffles and Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin. The British Viceroy 

first meets Carne while traveling in India. Charmed, he invites 

the reclusive hunchbacked scholar to London, little suspecting 

that his guest is actually an adventurer and master of disguise. 

Carne—aided by his loyal butler, Belton—embarks on a crime 

spree, stealing from London’s richest citizens and then making 

fools of them by posing as a detective investigating the thefts. 

Now back in print after over a century, Guy Boothby’s tale 

promises to delight a new generation of crime fans. 

n A complement to Penguin Classics’ Penguin Book of Gaslight 

Crime, An African Millionaire, and our other crime fiction (see 

listing below) 

GUY BOOTHBY (1867–1905) was born to a prominent 

Australian political family. He wrote more than fifty books before his 

death at age thirty-seven. 

GARY HOPPENSTAND is a professor of English at Michigan 

State University and wrote the introduction of Penguin Classics’ 

An African Millionaire. He lives in East Lansing, Michigan.

SHIRLEY JACKSON 

Hangsaman 

Foreword by Francine Prose 

Seventeen-year-old Natalie Waite longs to escape home for 

college. Her father is a domineering and egotistical writer 

who keeps a tight rein on Natalie and her long-suffering 

mother. When Natalie finally does get away, however, college 

life doesn’t bring the happiness she expected. Little by 

little, Natalie is no longer certain of anything—even where 

reality ends and her dark imaginings begin. Chilling and 

suspenseful, Hangsaman is loosely based on the real-life 

disappearance of a Bennington College sophomore in 1946. 

The Road Through 

the Wall 

Foreword by Ruth Franklin 

Pepper Street is a really nice, safe California neighbor- 

hood. The houses are tidy and the lawns are neatly mowed. 

Of course, the country club is close by, and lots of pleasant 

folks live there. The only problem is they knocked down 

the wall at the end of the street to make way for a road 

to a new housing development. Now, that’s not good—it’s 

just not good at all. Satirically exploring what happens 

when a smug suburban neighborhood is breached by 

awful, unavoidable truths, The Road Through the Wall is 

the tale that launched Shirley Jackson’s heralded career. 

“ Jackson is an exceptional writer.” 

—London Times 

“ No one can question [Jackson’s] 

great ability.” —San Francisco Chronicle 

“ Alive, complex, and clear . . . The 

characters are true to themselves (and to life) 

with every breath they draw.” 


“ Uncommonly good reading.” 

—Chicago Tribune

The Lady of the Camellias 

Alexandre Dumas fils 

Translated by Liesl Schillinger 

Introduction by Julie Kavanagh 

One of the greatest love stories of all time and the inspiration for 

Verdi’s opera La Traviata and the Oscar–winning musical Moulin 

Rouge!, The Lady of the Camellias tells the story of Marguerite 

Gautier, the most beautiful, brazen, and expensive courtesan in all 

of Paris. Known to all as “the Lady of the Camellias” because she is 

never seen without her favorite flowers, she leads a glittering life 

of endless parties and aristocratic balls, with the richest men in 

France flocking to her boudoir to lay their fortunes at her feet. But 

despite having many lovers, she has never really loved—until she 

meets Armand Duval, young, handsome, and from a lower social 

class, yet hopelessly in love with Marguerite.

Putting the sex back in Pleasure, 

here is the first new English translation 

since the Victorian era of the great Italian 

masterpiece of sensuality and seduction 

Pleasure 

Gabriele D’Annunzio 

Translated with a Foreword and Notes by Lara Gochin Raffaelli 

Introduction by Alexander Stille 

Like Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Gray, Andrea Sperelli lives his life as 

a work of art, seeking beauty and flouting the rules of morality 

and social interaction along the way. In his aristocratic circles in 

Rome, he is a serial seducer. But there are two women who command 

his special regard: the beautiful young widow Elena, and the 

pure, virgin-like Maria. In Andrea’s pursuit of the exalted heights 

of extreme pleasure, he plays them against each other, spinning a 

sadistic web of lust and deceit. 

This new translation of D’Annunzio’s masterpiece, the first in 

more than one hundred years, restores what was considered too 

offensive to be included in the 1898 translation—some of the very 

scenes that are key to the novel’s status as a landmark of literary 

decadence. 

n New translation—the first in English in over a century 

n 2013 is the 150th anniversary of Gabriele D’Annunzio’s birth 

n For fans of Oscar Wilde 

GABRIELE D’ANNUNZIO (1863–1938), a novelist, poet, 

journalist, dramatist, and daredevil, is the most influential and 

controversial Italian author of the twentieth century. 

LARA GOCHIN RAFFAELLI is a senior lecturer at the University 

of Cape Town in South Africa.

In these folk tales, young women go on long and perilous quests, 

wicked stepmothers turn children into geese, and tsars ask 

dangerous riddles, with help or hindrance from magical dolls, 

cannibal witches, talking skulls, stolen wives, and brothers 

disguised as wise birds. Some of the stories here were collected 

by folklorists during the last two centuries, while the others are 

reworkings of oral tales by four of the greatest writers in Russian 

literature: Nadezhda Teffi, Pavel Bazhov, Andrey Platonov, and 

Alexander Pushkin, author of Eugene Onegin, the classic Russian 

novel in verse. Among the many classic stories included here are 

the tales of Baba Yaga, Vasilisa the Beautiful, Father Frost, and the 

Frog Princess.

Demian 

Hermann Hesse 

Translated by Damion Searls 

Introduction by Ralph Freedman 

Foreword by James Franco 

A young man awakens to selfhood and to a world of possibilities 

beyond the conventions of his upbringing in Nobel Prize winner 

Hermann Hesse’s beloved novel Demian. Emil Sinclair is a quiet 

boy drawn into a forbidden yet seductive realm of petty crime and 

defiance. His guide is his precocious, mysterious classmate Max 

Demian, who provokes in Emil a search for self-discovery and 

spiritual fulfillment. A brilliant psychological portrait, Demian 

is given new life in this translation, which together with James 

Franco’s personal and inspiring foreword will bring a new generation 

to Hesse’s widely influential coming-of-age novel.

The Jungle Books 

Rudyard Kipling 

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Kaori Nagai 

Jan Montefiore, Series Editor 

The story of Mowgli, a man-cub who is brought up by wolves in 

the jungles of Central India, is one of the greatest literary myths 

ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, 

Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as the bear 

Baloo, the graceful black panther Bagheera, and Shere Khan, 

the tiger with blazing eyes. Other animal stories range from the 

dramatic battle between good and evil in “Rikki-tikki-tavi” to 

the macabre comedy “The Undertakers.” With The Jungle Books, 

Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy, 

and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich, 

symbolic portrait of man and nature, and an eternal classic of 

childhood. 

n The Jungle Books completes Penguin Classics’ new Kipling series 

n Includes a new story, “In the Rukh,” not included in previous 

editions 

n Introduction by Kaori Nagai explores Kipling’s life, his inspirations, 

and how he transformed “beast talk” into English

The capstone volume in Penguin Classics’ 

celebrated series of Icelandic sagas 

Comic Sagas and 

Tales from Iceland 

Various 

Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Vidar Hreinsson 

Comic Sagas and Tales from Iceland brings together 

the finest Icelandic stories from the thirteenth to fifteenth 

centuries, a time of civil unrest and social upheaval. 

With feuding families and moments of grotesque 

violence, the sagas feature such classic mythological 

figures as murdered fathers, disguised beggars, corrupt chieftains, 

and avenging sons who do battle with axes, words, and 

cunning. The tales, meanwhile, follow heroes and comical 

fools through dreams, voyages, and religious conversions in 

medieval Iceland and beyond. Shaped by Iceland’s oral culture 

and its people’s conversion to Christianity, these stories 

are works of ironic humor and stylistic innovation. 


n The books in Penguin Classics’ Icelandic sagas series have sold 

nearly 200,000 copies 

n Includes a glossary, a map, and notes
