    Now, in Mud and Stars, Wheeler takes us into the heart of Russia. Bypassing the major cities as much as possible, she instead goes to the places that produced Pushkin, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and other giants of Russia's Golden Age. We see the fabled Trigorskoye ("three hills") estate that Pushkin frequented during his exile, now preserved in his honor. We look for Dostoevsky along the waters of Lake Ilmen, site of the only house the restless writer ever owned. We pay tribute to the single stone that remains of Tolstoy's birthplace. The authors' lives and works are woven into Wheeler's descriptions of their historical homes, giving us full, rich portraits of the many diverse Russias from which these writers spoke. As Wheeler travels, she follows local guides, boards with families in modest homestays, eats roe and pelmeni and cabbage soup, invokes recipes from Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking, learns the language, and observes the weighty pattern of outcry and silence that characterizes life under Putin. Illustrated with both historic images and contemporary snapshots of the people and places that shaped Wheeler's journey, Mud and Stars gives us timely, stunning, deeply personal and wickedly funny insight into a country that has become more important than ever.

     I was trying to save my brother. And somehow, I ended up on an auction stage. Jacob bought me to break me. But when we find out I’m carrying his baby… he’ll walk through hell to save me. LAURIE I thought I was doing the right thing. Helping my brother get to rehab and start his life over… That’s what a good sister is supposed to do, right? So how did it all go wrong? Before I know it, I’m watching my brother disappear with a fresh fix… While I’m being sold at auction like a used toy. The man who buys me off that stage looks like any other outlaw thug, from his square jaw to his inky tattoos. But there’s something in his eyes that says he’s different than the rest of the bikers around him. It says he’s got big plans for me. Not just my body… But also my heart and soul. Now, I’m trapped in his room, waiting to find out what this demon wants from me. He’ll be here any second. My heart is racing. My blood is churning with fear. And then the devil himself opens the door. JACOB She looked terrified when I entered the room. With good reason – I was there to break her. Women are disposable to me. Toys to be used and tossed aside. And the innocent ones are my favorite to ruin. But there’s something different about this one. In all my time as president of the Black Talons MC, I’ve never come across a woman like her. She’s beautiful, delicate. And yet… defiant. Fiery. Proud. So I did something with her I never should have done: I put my baby in her belly. Turns out, that might have been a fatal mistake. Because rule number one of being a biker is to never expose your weaknesses. Especially not in the middle of a war. And when my enemies find out what Laurie means to me, they try to use her to destroy me. But I can promise them this: If they lay even a finger on my woman or my baby… I’ll make them wish they’d never been born.

    This is the premise of Boccaccio's Decameron, a landmark of early Renaissance literature and one of the world's great story collections. Vast in scope, teeming with colorful characters, and rich in worldly wisdom, these 25 tales from the original 100 encompass a variety of genres — folktales, ancient myths, fables, and anecdotes ranging from earthy satires of hypocritical clergy to gripping tales of murder and revenge and stories of passionate love. Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Keats drew upon Boccaccio's masterpiece for inspiration, and the grand old storyteller’s fables continue to captivate modern readers.

    Of that second category, Lawrence Weschler is the master. Witness the pieces in this splendidly disorienting collection, spanning twenty years of his career and the full range of his concerns–which is to say, practically everything.Only Lawrence Weschler could reveal the connections between the twentieth century’s Yugoslav wars and the equally violent Holland in which Vermeer created his luminously serene paintings. In his profile of Roman Polanski, Weschler traces the filmmaker’s symbolic negotiations with his nightmarish childhood during the Holocaust. Here, too, are meditations on artists Ed Kienholz and David Hockney, on the author’s grandfather and daughter, and on the light and earthquakes of his native Los Angeles. Haunting, elegant, and intoxicating, Vermeer in Bosnia awakens awe and wonder at the world around us.

    Published here for the first time in the English language, it is presented with Foscolo's highly acclaimed poem, Of Tombs. Banished from his homeland and from the woman he loves, Jacopo Ortis lives with the insufferable feelings of disillusionment and betrayal. Gone are his youthful dreams of literary glory, and in their place only his embittered laughter at fortune, at men, and at God. In the anguish of his state he feels himself compelled to make one final, titanic, and tragic gesture to the rulers of his age.
