Chopin's 1899 classic features a New Orleans location. "Interesting and Timely . . . Chopin's oracular feminism and prophetic psychology almost outweigh her estimable literary talents." -- --Newsweek

One Hundred Years of Solitude

A best seller and critical success in Latin America, Europe, and the United States, One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of teh mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendia family. It is a rich and billiant chronicle of life and death and the tragicomedy of man. In the noble, ridiculous, beautiful, and tawdry story of the Buendia family one sees all mankind, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo one sees all of Latin America.Love and lust, war and revolution, reiches and poverty, youth and senility--the variety of life, the endlessness fo death, the search for peace and truth--these, the universal themes, dominate the novel. Whether he is describing an affair of passion or the voracity of capitalism and the corruption of government, Garcia Marquez always writes with the simplicity, ease, and purity that are the mark fo a master. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, alive with unforgettale men

Lucifer with a Book (Bard Book)

John Horne Burns

âI am a deceased writer not in the sense of one who has written and is now deceased, but in the sense of one who had died and is now writing.â So begins the posthumous memoir of Braz Cubas, a wealthy nineteenth-century Brazilian. Though the grave has given Cubas the distance to examine his rather undistinguished life, it has not dampened his sense of humor. In the tradition of Laurence Sternâs Tristram Shamdy, Epitaph of a Small Winner is one of the wittiest self-portraits in literary history.
