The lifetime-spanning final chapter of Jason Aaron’s post-apocalyptic adventure plagued by romance and tragedy, hope and loss.
NOT EVEN IF YOU’RE THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH.
Braving the wasteland apart feels unthinkable, yet here Maceo and Mezzy are, isolated on a world breathing its last breaths. Join each on their separate journeys through the darkest, apocalyptic pits of depression–two wayward sides of a coin. Old age at the end of the world is as stark and brutal as it sounds for Mezzy and Maceo, as two people that were once so important to each other are chasms apart. But when a group of ravagers steal technology from one of Maceo’s partners with the intent to hasten the end of earth itself… two former lovers will find themselves stitched together by fate.
If they make it out alive… if everyone makes it out alive, will Mezzy and Maceo find love again? Perhaps peace lies elsewhere…
Collects Once Upon a Time at the End of the World #11-15.
Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude. Introduction and Notes by
E.B. Greenwood, University of Kent. Anna Karenina is one of the
most loved and memorable heroines of literature. Her overwhelming
charm dominates a novel of unparalleled richness and density.
Tolstoy considered this book to be his first real attempt at a
novel form, and it addresses the very nature of society at all
levels,- of destiny, death, human relationships and the
irreconcilable contradictions of existence. It ends tragically, and
there is much that evokes despair, yet set beside this is an
abounding joy in life's many ephemeral pleasures, and a profusion
of comic relief.
In war-torn medieval Japan, a young samurai lord struggles to
retake his throne, but not by fighting. Hojo Tokiyuki will reclaim
his birthright by running away! In medieval Japan, eight-year-old
Hojo Tokiyuki is the heir to the Kamakura shogunate. But the Hojo
clan is in decline, and Tokiyuki's peaceful days of playing
hide-and-seek with his teachers come to an abrupt end when his clan
is betrayed from within. Now the lone survivor of his family and a
fugitive, Tokiyuki is the rightful heir to the throne, but to take
it back, he'll have to do what he does best-run away! Now in hiding
in Suwa under the protection of Yorishige, Tokiyuki takes on a
cover identity-Chojumaru, an apprentice of Suwa Grand Shrine. When
Ogasawara Sadamune, the governor of Shinano and vassal of Takauji
the usurper, shows up to attend a sporting event at the shrine,
he's not just looking to win-if Sadamune finds any Hojo refugees,
he'll have free rein to take over Suwa completely! Thinking the
best way to hide Tokiyuki is in plain sight, Yorishige sends him
onto the field to take on Sadamune...
Two modern classics in one volume. George Orwell is one of the
finest and most influential writers of the twentieth century. Here
in one volume, are two of his best-known works of electrifying
political fiction, 1984 and Animal Farm. Winston Smith rewrites
history. It's his job. Hidden away in the Ministry of Truth, he
helps the Party and the omnipresent Big Brother control the people
of Oceania. But a seed of rebellion has begun to grow in Winston's
heart - one that could have devastating consequences. The animals
of Manor Farm have tired of Farmer Jones. When the boar, Old Major,
shares his revolutionary plans, the animals are convinced they can
thrive on their own. But as the pigs vie for power, they begin to
bear an uncanny resemblance to the very tyrants they had overthrown
... Captivating readers since the mid-twentieth century, the
enduring popularity of 1984 and Animal Farm are testament to
Orwell's powerful, prophetic prose.

Mikako aims to take the world of fashion by storm but stumbles when
love comes into season in this coming-of-age tale from the creator of
Nana!
Welcome to Happy Berry! No, this isn’t a fruit stand, but the label
dreamed up by aspiring fashion designer Mikako Koda. In her quest to
make a name for herself in the fashion world, Mikako enters Yazawa Arts
Academy, a prestigious art school, alongside her strictly platonic
childhood friend Tsutomu. But there’s one problem—Tsutomu’s uncanny
resemblance to a rock star skyrockets him to popularity and leads him
to date the prettiest girl in school. Now Mikako can’t help but wonder
if what she feels is jealousy.
As Mikako and her friends work hard to get their club up and running,
Mikako notices Tsutomu has gotten close to their new member, Ayumi, and
begins to grow jealous. Later, Tsutomu and Mikako celebrate their
birthdays, but Mikako’s father’s absence weighs heavily on her heart,
prompting Tsutomu to urge her to track him down. Will this long-overdue
reunion lead to a breakthrough for Mikako, or is nothing she can do
extreme enough to force her to unbottle her emotions?
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics. 'Greedily she engorged without restraint, And
knew not eating death;' Milton's Paradise Lost is a poem of epic
proportions that tells of Satan's attempts to mislead Eve into
disobeying God in the Garden of Eden, by eating from the tree of
knowledge. His interpretation of the biblical story of Genesis is
vivid and intense in its language, justifying the actions of God to
men. In his sequel poem, Paradise Regained, Milton shows Satan
trying to seduce Jesus in a similar way to Eve, but ultimately
failing as Jesus remains steadfast.
