A collection of treasured stories by the unchallenged master of
American fiction
Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow has deservedly been celebrated as
one of America's greatest writers. For more than sixty years he
stretched our minds, our imaginations, and our hearts with his
exhilarating perceptions of life. Here, collected in one volume and
chosen by the author himself, are favorites such as "What Kind of
Day Did You Have?," "Leaving the Yellow House," and a previously
uncollected piece, "By the St. Lawrence." With his larger-than-life
characters, irony, wisdom, and unique humor, Bellow presents a
sharp, rich, and funny world that is infinitely surprising. This is
a collection to treasure for longtime Saul Bellow fans and an
excellent introduction for new readers.
HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of
best-loved, essential classics. Clarissa Dalloway is a woman of
high-society - vivacious, hospitable and sociable on the surface,
yet underneath troubled and dissatisfied with her life in post-war
Britain. This disillusionment is an emotion that bubbles under the
surface of all of Woolf's characters in Mrs Dalloway. Centred
around one day in June where Clarissa is preparing for and holding
a party, her interior monologue mingles with those of the other
central characters in a stream of consciousness, entwining, yet
never actually overriding the pervading sense of isolation that
haunts each person. One of Virginia Woolf's most accomplished
novels, Mrs Dalloway is widely regarded as one of the most
revolutionary works of the 20th century in its style and the themes
that it tackles. The sense that Clarissa has married the wrong
person, her past love for another female friend and the death of an
intended party guest all serve to amplify this stultifying
existence.
Join Monkey D. Luffy and his swashbuckling crew in their search for the ultimate treasure, One Piece!
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. But his life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber...at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, Luffy sets off in search of the One Piece, said to be the greatest treasure in the world...
As Sanji and Zolo defeat the two remaining Lead Performers of the Animal Kingdom pirates, the battle intensifies between Luffy and Kaido! Meanwhile, Kid and Law are locked in a furious melee with Big Mom. Can the upstarts defeat two reigning Emperors of the Sea?!
In Pianos and Flowers we are invited to glimpse a world long
departed. In these stories, inspired by long-lost photographs, the
lives of the people in the frame are imagined and then explored,
layer by layer. Three sisters brought up in Penang, caught in the
tide of war. A group of small boys in a Glasgow slum - their
childhood blighted by poverty, their adult lives taking very
different paths. A young woman's search for love in the unlikely
realm of Egyptian antiquities. And through all of these
photographs, and all of these stories, there runs the same refrain:
the possibilities of love, of friendship, of happiness lie before
us.
