The Game of Life and How to Play It
Explore the wisdom of a New Thought classic and master the game of life! In this classic bestseller, Florence Scovel Shinn helped to define the personal success genre. Written in the new thought tradition, her message is simple yet transformative--we receive back what we put into the world through our actions, energy, and attitudes. Negativity and pessimism are returned in kind, but by switching the script in favor of positive attitudes and affirmations, we are able to manifest success and joy in everything we do. Life, Shinn tells us, is not a battle of us against the world, but rather a game of giving and receiving. What we give to the world we receive back--whether that be the dark weight of fear and inhibition or the freedom of joy and empowerment. This new edition of The Game of Life and How to Play It combines the text of Shinn's original edition with a sleek design that will inspire a new generation of readers.

Phantoms of Kernow
The phantoms are stirring once more. "Onward came the ill-omened craft. It passed through the breakers on the shore, glided up over the sands, and steadily pursued its course over the dry land, as if it had been water." Kernow--as Cornwall is known in the Cornish tongue--is a land haunted by a long heritage of ghost tales and uncanny folklore, from its wicked wreckers and the spectral death-ship to mine-dwelling fiends, blood-sucking abominations and the revenant spirits of a druidic past. And the phantoms are stirring once more. In her new selection of sixteen stories hailing from 1865 to 1952, Joan Passey charts a course through this unique literary landscape, including timeless retellings of ghostly lore, rare Victorian chillers and weird nightmares by key figures of Cornish literature such as Sabine Baring-Gould, Arthur Quiller-Couch and Daphne du Maurier.

But prowling the city leads them straight into a clairvoyancy smuggling ring. Who is kidnapping all the fortune tellers in Soho, and why? And is it a coincidence, fate, or something far more sinister that Maeve--a timid trans woman searching for her birth mother--arrives on their doorstep with the uncanny ability to predict what's coming next? Readers love Tony Santorella and Bored Gay Werewolf: "Bored Gay Werewolf is a joyous satirical romp. It's genuinely laugh-out-loud funny in places and I've not read anything this fun in quite some time." --Readings "A funny, unique examination of friendship, queerness, toxic masculinity and finding your community." --The Skinny "Big-hearted, goofy, anarchic and funny, Bored Gay Werewolf is a smart take on the doomsday logic of late capitalism and the complicated meeting point of masculinity and sexuality." --Barnes & Noble "I ate this up. A clever and chaotic commentary on toxic masculinity, the self-improvement industry, and the grind of modern existence. This book is biting!" --Emily Austin, author of Everyone In this Room Will Someday Be Dead "Bored Gay Werewolf's got blood, it's got buddies... and it's so much fun." --Ainslie Hogarth, author of Motherthing "There really aren't enough novels about aimless, gay werewolves called Brian... " --Sunday Times
Bunny Matthews
Fiendishly creative, sharply observant, and deeply devoted to his city, Bunny Matthews was among the most influential cartoonists and writers in New Orleans. Matthews obsessed over his native city, and throughout the four decades during which his art and writing appeared in almost every local magazine and newspaper, he revealed that city through his work, teaching New Orleans new ways to listen to itself and laugh at itself. Along the way, he helped found or influence some of the most important local cultural entities invented by his generation: Jazz Fest, Tipitina's, and WWOZ.Matthews is best known for his cartoon characters Vic and Nat'ly, two irreverent bar owners from the Nint' Ward who rank alongside Ignatius J. Reilly and Blanche DuBois in the pantheon of fictional New Orleanians. Although best known as a cartoonist, Matthews was also a musician, arts journalist, and promoter who helped create the visual culture of the 1970s music scene in New Orleans through posters, calendars, and fliers for clubs like Tipitina's and Jimmy's. As a critic, Matthews earnestly pursued authenticity. In his later years, he spilled thousands of words articulating what he saw as the depreciation and corruption of New Orleans's cultural capital. He eventually gave up the city for a perch on the North Shore, across Lake Pontchartrain, from which he sparred with local right-wing politicians and started fights on social media. He died in 2021, but his legacy lives on in the young writers he helped mentor, the cartoonists he inspired, and in the yellowing clippings of Vic and Nat'ly still found taped to refrigerators throughout New Orleans.Matthews once wrote, "Be witty. Be nasty. Be silly. Don't be boring." That ethos animates the pages of Bunny Matthews: His Life, Art, and Obsessions, the first monograph of his work.

The Siren's Lament
3 captivating short stories by one of Japan's most prominent 20th-century writers, showcasing his characteristic blend of the erotic and the sinister. "Sexuality and dominance are never far below the surface of Tanizaki's stories." -- The New York Times In this thrilling collection, celebrated Japanese writer Jun'ichirō Tanizaki explores the paper-thin line between the sublime and the depraved. Meticulous and sensual, the 3 stories gathered here distill the essence of Tanizaki's shorter fiction: the commingling of Japanese and Chinese mythologies, and the examinaton of the dark side of desire. In "The Qilin," the sage Confucius visits a cultured duke, whose pursuit of virtue is threatened by the desires of his dazzling, malicious consort. Yet even the master's philosophy cannot halt the orgy of violence which follows her reassertion of control. In "Killing O-Tsuya," a na簿ve servant elopes with his master's daughter, only to be plunged headlong into a world of murder and corruption, which will end in the death of his lover. And closing with "The Siren's Lament," a young prince finds himself obsessed with a sorrowful, beguiling mermaid brought to China by a travelling Dutchman. But can she reciprocate, or are both their hearts doomed to yearn unfulfilled?This gorgeous new translation by Bryan Karetnyk features two stories never previously translated into English, and one restored to print in English after nearly a century. The book also includes an introduction by the translator, placing Tanizaki's unparalleled contribution to Japanese literature in context.

From Beginning to End
"I wrote From Beginning to End to honor a love that never wavered, expose the injustice we endured, and give voice to those silenced by Alzheimer's and elder care abuse in assisted living facilities."

The Wanderer's Song
A fresh translation of the poetry of German Romantic and polymath Johann Wolfgang von Goethe "Germany's greatest man of letters... and the last true polymath to walk the earth" -- George Eliot Here, in this selection of his poetry, is a representation of Goethe's life from childhood to old age: full of travel, romantic fixations, curiosity, nostalgia, deep thought, and above all, writing. Goethe is undoubtedly Germany's greatest poet, as Shakespeare is England's. This fresh translation offers the reader an introduction to Goethe's genius. And what a genius! Novelist, dramatist, philosopher and above all poet; a scientist with deep interests in Nature, in particular the human body, forestry, geology, botany and light; a courtier and in later life considered a sage, he was also a very frequent letter writer, no mean artist, and a man who was able throughout his life to renew and rejuvenate himself creatively, working out many of his life's problems through his writings. For English speakers he is probably best known as the author of Faust, a vast dramatic work mainly in verse which occupied him on and off throughout his long life, as well as The Sorrows of Young Werther, a novel of youthful despair which became the sacred text of the Romantic movement. This volume brings together his very personal lyric poetry, hewing as close to the original form, content, and rhyme schemes as possible in English.
The Readers' Room
From the author of The Red Notebook, described as 'Parisian perfection' by Queen Camilla, comes a thrilling murder mystery set in the world of publishing "A stylish whodunnit blended with an affectionate send-up of the world of books" -- The Sunday Mirror "Blends mystery with comedy to great effect" -- The Daily Mail When the manuscript of a debut crime novel arrives at a Parisian publishing house, everyone in the readers' room is convinced it's something special. And, when it's eventually published, the committee for France's highest literary honour, the Prix Goncourt, agrees. But when the shortlist is announced, there's a problem for glamorous editor Violaine Lepage: she has no idea of the author's identity. As the police begin to investigate a series of murders strangely reminiscent of those recounted in the book, Violaine is not the only one looking for answers. And, suffering memory blanks following an aeroplane accident, she's beginning to wonder what role she might play in the story - as well as how to find the mystery author before the prize is announced. In the end it will take the combined investigative powers of a detective, a junior editor, and Violaine's therapist to uncover the truth. They will learn not just about the author of the book, but about the story's origins, and the novel's strange power to exact justice for violence done to a young girl decades ago. But when everything comes to light, one question will remain: can Violaine and the other readers of the mystery manuscript put the past to rest, and find happiness in the present?
Red Is My Heart
A moving, evocative exploration of heartbreak and healing in Paris, told through words and images in this stunning collaboration with French street artist Le Sonneur "Enchanting. . . A heartbroken lover's obsession with his ex is reflected in both images and words" -- Washington Post How can you mend a broken heart? Do you write a letter to the woman who left you--and post it to an imaginary address? Buy a new watch, to reset your life? Or get rid of the jacket you wore every time you argued, because it was in some way responsible? Combining the wry musings of a rejected lover with playful drawings in just three colours--red, black and white--one of France's best-selling authors has collaborated with renowned street artist Le Sonneur to create a striking addition to the literature of unrequited love, and a moving, evocative exploration of heartbreak in one of the world's great cities. In this playful, poignant series of musings, a nameless narrator remembers a love affair just gone, watches the flight they were due to take to New York depart, sends flowers to a woman who died a century ago, smokes ostentatiously in front of No Smoking signs, and takes solace from the endless distractions and beauty of the city he calls home, Paris. If he walks these streets long enough--the streets of the City of Light, City of Love--he may find himself ready to love again.
