When Hera, immortal goddess and daughter of the ancient Titan Cronus,
helps her brother Zeus to overthrow their tyrannical father, she dreams
of ruling at his side.
As they establish their reign on Mount Olympus, Hera suspects that Zeus
might be just as ruthless and cruel as the father they betrayed.
She was always born to rule, but must she lose herself in perpetuating
this cycle of violence and cruelty? Or can she find a way to forge a
better world?
Often portrayed as the jealous wife or the wicked stepmother, this
retelling captures the many sides of Hera, vengeful when she needs to
be but also compassionate and most importantly, an all-powerful queen
to the gods.

new artwork from the critically acclaimed illustrator of The
Velveteen Rabbit and Star in the Jar.
Tense Future falls into two parts. The first develops a critical
account of total war discourse and addresses the resistant
potential of acts, including acts of writing, before a future that
looks barred or predetermined by war. Part two shifts the focus to
long interwar narratives that pit both their scale and their formal
turbulence against total war's portrait of the social totality,
producing both ripostes and alternatives to that portrait in the
practice of literary encyclopedism. The book's introduction grounds
both parts in the claim that industrialized warfare, particularly
the aerial bombing of cities, intensifies an under-examined form of
collective traumatization: a pretraumatic syndrome in which the
anticipation of future-conditional violence induces psychic wounds.
Situating this claim in relation to other scholarship on "critical
futurities," Saint-Amour discusses its ramifications for trauma
studies, historical narratives generally, and the historiography of
the interwar period in particular. The introduction ends with an
account of the weak theory of modernism now structuring the field
of modernist studies, and of weak theory's special suitability for
opposing total war, that strongest of strong theories.

"The Confessions" is an all time number one Christian classic -- an
extended poetic, passionate, intimate prayer written by St.
Augustine because he felt called by God to make this confession.
Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, calls Boulding's
translation "a different level of excellence from practically
anything else on the market. She has perfected an elegant and
flowing style." This 2nd edition includes a long-awaited annotated
bibliography.
The Little Prince describes his journey from planet to planet, each
tiny world populated by a single adult. It's a wonderfully
inventive sequence, which evokes not only the great fairy tales but
also such monuments of postmodern whimsy.
The author pokes similar fun at a businessman, a geographer,
and a lamplighter, all of whom signify some futile aspect of adult
existence.
