Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embark on a mesmerizing journey through the ages with George R. Williams' magnum opus, "Songs of the Immortals: Epic Tales Echoing Through the Corridors of Time." This poetic odyssey unfolds as a celestial tapestry, weaving together timeless narratives that transcend the boundaries of cosmic realms and mortal existence. Within the verses penned by the maestro, Williams invites readers to traverse the vast expanse of mythology, history, and imagination.

From the genesis of ancient myths to the resounding echoes of celestial prophecies, each chapter unfurls a new layer of this epic tapestry. The poet's mastery lies not only in the artful arrangement of words but in the evocative exploration of the human experience across eons. As readers navigate the intricacies of royal courts, face the hero's trials, and contemplate the cosmic echoes of undying legends, they become voyagers through a poetic cosmos shaped by George R. Williams' unparalleled imagination. The thematic diversity, from the hero's birth to doomsday prophecies, love, loss, and the enduring legacy of legends, captures the essence of the human spirit's timeless journey.

Williams, stands as a testament to the enduring power of poetic storytelling. It resonates not just as a collection of verses but as an immortal melody echoing through the corridors of time, inviting readers to join in the grand cosmic narrative.

Book excerpt: Few American readers seem to be aware that Hermann Hesse, author of the epic novels Steppenwolf and Siddhartha, among many others, also wrote poetry, the best of which the poet James Wright has translated and included in this book. This is a special volume—filled with short, direct poems about love, death, loneliness, the seasons—that is imbued with some of the imagery and feeling of Hesse's novels but that has a clarity and resonance all its own, a sense of longing for love and for home that is both deceptively simple and deeply moving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A discharged official in mid-Ming China faced significant changes in his life. This book explores three such officials in the sixteenth century—Wang Jiusi, Kang Hai, and Li Kaixian—who turned to literary endeavors when forced to retire. Instead of the formal writing expected of scholar-officials, however, they chose to engage in the stigmatized genre ofqu (songs), a collective term for drama and sanqu. As their efforts reveal, a disappointing end to an official career and a physical move away from the center led to their embrace of qu and the pursuit of a marginalized literary genre. This book also attempts to sketch the largely unknown literary landscape of mid-Ming north China. After their retirements, these three writers became cultural leaders in their native regions. Wang, Kang, and Li are studied here not as solitary writers but as central figures in the “qu communities” that formed around them. Using such communities as the basic unit in the study of qu allows us to see how sanqu and drama were produced, transmitted, and “used” among these writers, things less evident when we focus on the individual.

Book excerpt: Don't miss Evermore, the first book in Alyson Noël's #1 New York Times bestselling The Immortals series. Enter an enchanting new world where true love never dies. . . After a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever Bloom can see people's auras, hear their thoughts, and know someone's entire life story by touching them. Going out of her way to avoid human contact and suppress her abilities, she has been branded a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste. Damen is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy. He's the only one who can silence the noise and random energy in her head—wielding a magic so intense, it's as though he can peer straight into her soul. As Ever is drawn deeper into his enticing world of secrets and mystery, she's left with more questions than answers. And she has no idea just who he really is—or what he is. The only thing she knows to be true is that she's falling deeply and helplessly in love with him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the forbidding fringes of the tundra, where years are marked by seasons of snow, humans war with immortals in the name of their shared gods. Irjan, a human warrior, is ruthless and lethal, a legend among the Brethren of Hunters. But even legends grow tired and disillusioned. Scarred and weary of bloodshed, Irjan turns his back on his oath and his calling to hide away and live a peaceful life as a farmer, husband, and father. But his past is not so easily left behind. When an ambitious village priest conspires with the vengeful comrades Irjan has forsaken, the fragile peace in the Northlands of Davvieana is at stake. His bloody past revealed, Irjan’s present unravels as he faces an ultimatum: return to hunt the immortals or lose his child. But with his son’s life hanging in the balance, as Irjan follows the tracks through the dark and desolate snow-covered forests, it is not death he searches for, but life.
