Three Classic Novels: Tobacco Road, God's Little Acre, and Place Called Estherville


Erskine Caldwell - 2017
    Bigotry, poverty, social injustice, and sexual squalor in the Deep South—hallmarks of one of the most daring and phenomenally popular bestselling novelists of the twentieth-century. Here, in one volume, are three of his best-known works. “None of [his] characters would be caught dead in a novel by John Steinbeck, Carson McCullers, or Eudora Welty” (The Daily Beast).  Tobacco Road: The Great Depression compromises the morals of a poor farming family in Georgia. This classic, a Modern Library 100 Best Novels selection, was adapted for the stage in 1933 and made into a 1941 film directed by John Ford.  God’s Little Acre: Desperation takes its toll on a deluded Southern farmer obsessed with sex, violence, and the promise of gold. Banned in Boston, censored in Georgia, and prosecuted by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, this international bestseller was adapted into a film in 1958.  A Place Called Estherville: In the pre-civil-rights-era South, a biracial brother and sister move to a small segregated town to care for their aunt, only to be subjected to systematic racism, sexual violence, and prejudice.   “What William Faulkner implies, Erskine Caldwell records,” said the Chicago Tribune of the author who earned his reputation by writing about sex, racism, and religious hypocrisy when no one else was. Caldwell remains one of the most widely translated American authors of all time.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.

Sirens of the Northern Seas


Kathryn Le Veque - 2016
    Markland... Rand... Prince... Rose... and VIKINGS. Five of the bestselling authors in Historical Romance now bring you a collection of never-before published Viking tales unlike any other. If you like Vikings, and powerful romance, you'll not want to miss SIRENS OF THE NORTHERN SEAS. The pairing of Norsemen and wildflowers may seem an unlikely combination. Vikings evoke images of strong, sometimes brutish men who allow nothing to stand in their way as they journey to the ends of the earth. They're not normally associated with tender feelings.Wildflowers, however,conjure more personal and sentimental images. SIRENS OF THE NORTHERN SEAS brings together these two elements, seamlessly blended, into an unforgettably romantic collection. KINGDOM BY THE SEA by Kathryn Le Veque is a tale based on Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Annabel Lee". In this story, the Bluebell becomes the common thread between the hero and heroine in this deeply romantic and bittersweet tale of two warriors crossing paths in the midst of a Norse raid. In VIKING HEARTS by Violetta Rand, the Purple Saxifrage serves as a testament to the heroine’s Viking lineage and provides vital proof of her connection to a great Norse family. A VIKING'S PROMISE by Elizabeth Rose tells the tale of dainty blue Forget-Me-Nots carrying the weight of the hero's promise to his betrothed as he leaves for a raid across the sea. In THE BRIDE PRIZE by Emma Prince, the yellow Coltsfoot blossom signals the end of winter, but Emma’s hero and heroine must overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles before they can enjoy spring’s sweetness together. In Anna Markland's tale, BANISHED, a simple handful of Bluebells picked from a meadow by childhood sweethearts becomes a symbol and eventually an acknowledgement of a love long denied. Please enjoy these brand-new stories from these bestselling authors.

The Collected Poems of Emily Dickinson


Emily Dickinson - 1924
    The longest poem covers less than two pages. Yet in theme and tone her writing reaches for the sublime as it charts the landscape of the human soul. A true innovator, Dickinson experimented freely with conventional rhythm and meter, and often used dashes, off rhymes, and unusual metaphors—techniques that strongly influenced modern poetry. Dickinson’s idiosyncratic style, along with her deep resonance of thought and her observations about life and death, love and nature, and solitude and society, have firmly established her as one of America’s true poetic geniuses.
