A River Runs Through It and Other Stories
by MacLean, Norman    Redford, Robert   
(Paperback - English - 9780226472065)
When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, "it has trees in it." Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture--for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art--A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean' ..

I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream: Stories
by Ellison, Harlan       
(Paperback - English - 9781497643079)
Among Ellison's more famous stories, two consistently noted as his very best ever are the Hugo Award-winning, postapocalyptic title story of this collection of seven shorts and the volume's concluding story, "Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes." Since Ellison himself strongly resists categorization of his work, we will not call them science fiction, or SF, or speculative fiction or horror or anything else except compelling reading experiences that are utterly unique. They could only have been written by the great Harlan Ellison, and they are incomparably original. Harlan Ellison has been called "one of the great living American short story writers" by the Washington Post. ..

The Awakening and Selected Stories

(Paperback - English - 9780142437322)
Kate Chopin's groundbreaking depiction of a woman who dares to defy the expectations of society in the pursuit of her desire br br When The Awakening was first published in 1899, charges of sordidness and immorality seemed to consign it into obscurity and irreparably damage its author's reputation. But a century after her death, it is widely regarded as Kate Chopin's great achievement. Through careful, subtle changes of style, Chopin shows the transformation of Edna Pontellier, a young wife and mother, who - with tragic consequences - refuses to be caged by married and domestic life, and claims for herself moral and erotic freedom. For more than seventy year ..
