Pitts, of Penguin Classics' th-anniversary edition of Our Nig , owns a number of glass bottles from the nineteenth century that are part of the touring exhibition "Black Entrepreneurs of the 18th and 19th Centuries. Wilson's Hair Regeneration" and represent just some of the evidence that not only was Harriet E.

Wilson a leading literary figure, but she also ran a national business selling black women's hair care products—fifty years before Madame C. Walker's similar business made her America's first woman millionaire.

Foreman and Pitts's groundbreaking discoveries about the life of Harriet E. Three years ago, Penguin Classics celebrated the th anniversary of the birth of R. In many ways these books represent the fullest expression of Narayan's signature comic charm, not to mention his range and sheer genius as a storyteller: In A Tiger for Malgudi , Narayan pulls off the literary high-wire act of telling the life story of a tiger—from his cubhood, to his early days roaming the Indian jungle, to his time in the circus, to his career in films—all in the words of the tiger himself!

Crying babies, nagging cats, dogs barking at spirits, and photographs of faces being shocked with electricity: This peculiar book may sound like a disturbing, sensationalist side project, but it is an essential component of Darwin's oeuvre. Packed with case studies, drawings, and photographs, it offers a fascinating account of the origin of distinctly human traits—morality and intellect.

Published in the bicentennial year of Darwin's birth, this Penguin Classics edition gives readers more reason to admire Darwin's fearless commitment to science. Though this eight-hundred-page Sanskrit epic does not, at first glance, seem like the obvious late-summer beach read, the war narrative of the Bharata dynasty truly has it all.

With its death toll of over 1. Plus its warring families are demons in human form and actual sons of the gods! Not impressed by its epic and otherworldly battle scenes? This religious and philosophical text delves into the deeper meanings of not only Hinduism but, more broadly, the meaning of human existence, with revelatory discussions on dharma that explore what it means to live one's life according to one's specific station, and to accept, not rebel against, that order. Teeming with interesting characters, family rivalries, and religious examination, The Mahabharata makes for a satisfying and inspiring read.

Decent, but not Steinbeck at top-notch. DanielSTJ Dec 18, After I fell in love with Steinbeck's Cannery Row about a year ago and actually went to visit Monterey shortly after finishing the book, it was a given for me to get to the sequel, which is Sweet Thursday. OscarWilde87 Aug 11, Liked this considerably more than its predecessor Cannery Row, beacause I loved that movie, and most of its story is found in this book and not the other.

I am a sucker for Steinbeck's writing and this was no exception. John Steinbeck found something funny in Monterey, California. Translator secondary author some editions confirmed. Is contained in John Steinbeck: Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.

Sweet Thursday

One night Mack lay back on his bed in the Palace Flophouse and he said, "I ain't never been satisfied with that book Cannery Row. I would of went about it different. If only people would give the thought, the care, the judgment to international affairs, to politics, even to their jobs, that they lavish on what to wear to a masquerade, the world would run in greased grooves.

Move Over, Madame C. J. Walker!

The canneries themselves fought the war by getting the limit taken off fish and catching them all. It was done for patriotic reasons, but that didn't bring the fish back. As with the oysters in Alice, 'They'd eaten every one. When the desert comes, people will be sad; just as Cannery Row was sad when all the pilchards were caught and canned and eaten.

Project Gutenberg 0 editions. Steinbeck scholars seem to look badly on anything he wrote that didn't have great angst and didn't feature poor helpless people living poor helpless lives. They seem to ignore the fact that he was extremely funny and, once in a while, could give us a novel that wasn't totally bleak. This is a masterful piece of writing and, boy, was Steinbeck a master.

The boy could put words together. But perhaps the real reason this is a great novel is that there may be no better love letter to a dead friend, giving his story the ending it deserved, not the ending he got. Though I liked Cannery Row better, this was still an enjoyable, fun read. It is Cannery Row after the war with some major character changes.

Despite the "new people" they are still quirky as only Steinbeck's people can be. There is a long, informative introduction about this novel with information one would expect from a good literature class which helped the reader to understand where Steinbeck was coming from when he wrote this book. In reality, he was grieving the death of his dear friend Doc Rickets so he wrote a happy ending wherein Doc finds love and rides off into the sunset so to speak.

I'm happy that I read it and recommend other Steinbeck fans who haven't read it to do so.
