Many know Daniel Berrigan for his dramatic defense of the poor and disadvantaged and his defiant protests against war and nuclear weapons. For his daring acts of civil disobedience over the past four decades, he has suffered years in federal penitentiaries and nights in New York City jails. A prize-winning poet and respected interpreter of the Bible, Berrigan now emerges in this debut collection of short fiction as a biting satirist and cultural critic of astonishing moral and aesthetic nuance. In A Sunday in Hell, Berrigan offers twelve incendiary and provocative parables for today's tumultuous times, including "The Hole in the Ground: A Parable for Peacemakers," which exposes the perils of "total victory" in the "war on terror." Published alongside a special selection of Berrigan's autobiographical poems, these fables provide an urgently needed call to conscience, and add dimension to what we know about this extraordinary American dissident, a bellwether of courage and non-violent resistance. Daniel Berrigan has written more than fifty books and has been often nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. A member of the Catonsville Nine and Plowshares Eight, Berrigan continues to speak out against war and the military. He lectures frequently on the Bible and the call to peacemaking. He lives in New York City.

Even though Ivan Goncharov wrote several books that were widely read and discussed during his lifetime, today he is remembered for one novel, Oblomov, published in 1859, an indisputable classic of Russian literature, the artistic stature and cultural significance of which may be compared only to other such masterpieces as Nikolai Gogol's Dead Souls, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov. Stephen Pearl's new translation, the first major English-language publication of Oblomov in more than fifty years, succeeds exquisitely to introduce this astonishing and endearing novel to a new generation of readers.

The most compelling account of the Little Bighorn ever written, this powerfully detailed historical novel vividly recreates the lives of two of the most celebrated military leaders of nineteenth-century North America, General George Armstrong Custer and Chief Sitting Bull. Capturing in rich detail native Sioux spirituality and culture, as well as the history and politics of post-Civil War America, the Battle of the Little Bighorn itself, described in all of its frightening detail, is the riveting climax to an artfully portrayed collision of two civilizations: one reaching for its manifest destiny, one struggling for survival.

Leonard Abelson is one of seven children. He lives above Abelson's Hardware on Baldwin Street in Kensington Market in Toronto. It's the 1930s. Leonard's father, Sam, a former merchant sailor who speaks fourteen languages, does the purchasing for the store; his mother, Pearl, a Ukranian ?migr? who was a victim of pogroms and marauding Cossacks after WWI, runs the shop floor. Leonard wants to be a writer. He witnesses the affections, struggles, and meager hopes of his neighbors?fuel for his imagination. Periodically, Leonard has to look after a young philosophy professor from the University of Toronto, Menasha Rifkin, who suffers from fugue states, squatting among the stalls on Baldwin Street reading Spinoza, Kant, and the Globe &amp; Mail. Halloween 1936. A band of young Italians invades Baldwin Street in search of blood. Marshall McDonald, the Irish cop who failed to quell the famous ?Wop? vs. ?Yid? riot at Christie Pits six years earlier, now must investigate the death of Bernie Altman, a young boy whose senseless slaughter lingers over the Jewish community like a bad dream. In the tradition of James T. Farrell's Studs Lonigan and Nelson Algren's Man with the Golden Arm, Alvin Rakoff's Baldwin Street is literary fiction at its best. This powerful novel presents a vivid mosaic of characters, the rich fabric of a community, and a boy's coming-of-age on the dusty, rough-and-tumble streets of Toronto.

The choice between extolling uncritically whatever Israel decides to do to others, and maintaining the Jewish commitment to justice, has created, for Jews, a profound moral crisis. Are Jews to adopt a form of Judaism that uncritically reveres Israel as the only safeguard against genocide? Or should Jews retain their ancient belief that only where human rights are respected for all can Jews find true security and equality?In this landmark collection of contemporary Jewish thought, Polner and Merken have drawn on the work of a wide variety of thinkers and activists in Israel and the USincluding charity workers, political demonstrators, conscientious objectors, prison workers, animal rights advocates, mothers and fathers, refuseniks, rabbis, soldiers, journalists, and professorsto answer this important question.These voices support the second choiceto pursue human rights as the key to securitya view nourished during two millennia of the Diaspora, and which has proudly seen Jews at the forefront of struggles for civil rights, labor rights, anti-militarism, and compassion for the most vulnerable among us: the poor, the hungry, the helpless, the oppressed.
