Tanjiro sets out on the path of the Demon Slayer to save his sister
and avenge his family! In Taisho-era Japan, kindhearted Tanjiro
Kamado makes a living selling charcoal. But his peaceful life is
shattered when a demon slaughters his entire family. His little
sister Nezuko is the only survivor, but she has been transformed
into a demon herself! Tanjiro sets out on a dangerous journey to
find a way to return his sister to normal and destroy the demon who
ruined his life. The fight with Kokushibo, the highest-ranking
demon among Muzan's servants, is over. Although Himejima and Sanemi
defeated Kokushibo and sent him to hell, the price the Demon Slayer
Corps has paid is very high. Kiriya Ubuyashiki, the new leader of
the Demon Slayers, struggles to recover from the losses. With the
battle against Muzan far from over, the remaining fighters will
need his help more than ever. Meanwhile, deep within Infinity
Castle, Tanjiro and his friends come face-to-face with their
nemesis at last...
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD AND THE PULITZER PRIZE.
The pampered daughter of a wealthy Georgian plantation owner of Irish descent, sixteen-year-old Scarlett O’Hara soon realizes that young men can’t resist her charms, despite her forthright manners and her refusal to embrace her mother’s ladylike ways. Her romantic intrigues lead her to an early marriage, but when the war between the Union and the Southern States breaks out and she is left a young widow, Scarlett’s life is turned upside down, and she finds herself embroiled, together with the world surrounding her, in a long struggle for survival.
Both a coming-of-age tale and a historical epic, Gone with the Wind is regarded as one of the great American novels, and is perhaps one of the most popular stories in the Western canon. Famously inspiring the iconic 1939 Oscar-winning film starring Vivien Leigh as Scarlett and Clark Gable as the rakish but cynical Rhett Butler, it is Margaret Mitchell’s only published novel, and a living testament to the irrepressible resilience of the American spirit.

The blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from China that inspired
the animated Scumbag System series streaming in English! This
hilarious story of a man reborn as a villain in a fantasy novel
series who ends up romancing the male protagonist is now in
English, for the very first time. Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from
humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in
strength and beauty. With his harem of over three hundred wives,
and dominion over both the human and demonic realms, he is truly
the most powerful protagonist-in a trashy web novel series! At
least, that's what Shen Yuan, online alias "Peerless Cucumber,"
believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal
Demon Way. But when a combination of rage and a poor meal choice
leads to his death, Shen Yuan finds himself reborn into the world
of the web novel, in the body of Shen Qingqiu-the beautiful but
cruel teacher to a young Luo Binghe. Although as Shen Qingqiu, he
now has incredible power and abilities as a cultivator, he's
destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the
protagonist, so this new Shen Qingqiu has only one course of
action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's
rise to power. That's the only way he'll escape the awful fate of a
true scum villain! This Chinese fantasy (xianxia) comedy built
around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) has been
translated into numerous languages and inspired the animated series
Scumbag System, which amassed millions of streaming
views--including the English version on YouTube through Tencent
Video. As the first novel series by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu to spur a
global multimedia franchise, this incredibly fun tale led the way
to her future blockbusters in the danmei genre: Grandmaster of
Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing. The Seven Seas
English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and
interior illustrations from Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi) and feature a
translation by Faelicy (faelicy) & Lily (lily_ocho).
HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved,
essential classics.
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in
possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
Austen's best-loved tale of love, marriage and society in
class-conscious Georgian England still delights modern readers
today with its comedy and characters. It follows the feisty,
quick-witted Elizabeth Bennet as her parents seek to ensure good
marriages for her and her sisters in order to secure their future.
The protagonists Darcy and Elizabeth learn much about themselves
and those around them and Austen's expertly crafted comedy
characters of Mrs Bennet and Mr Collins demonstrate her great
artistry as a writer."
