Signature Clothbound Editions

Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic of Russian literature in its first—and still, arguably, best—translation by Constance Garnett, now in a beautiful gift edition for the Union Square &amp; Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. Set in the slums of nineteenth-century Saint Petersburg, Russia, Crime and Punishment follows Raskolnikov, and impoverished ex-student, who rationalizes committing criminal acts for the greater good. However, a momentous decision triggers a tense cat-and-mouse game that sees him pursued by authorities, while wrestling with the weight of his own moral anguish. Originally published in 1866, Dostoevsky’s “masterwork” (The New Yorker) is the quintessential psychological crime thriller and widely considered one of the greatest novels of all time.

Crime and Punishment

A Tale of Two Crowns

'An ambitious and compelling tale of deadly court intrigue and star-crossed lovers' - Lucy Holland, author of Sistersong, on The Sun Blessed Prince As the death toll rises, cities will fall . . . From Lindsey Byrd, The Moon Blessed King is a breathtaking, queer, slow-burn fantasy romance. Elician is to be crowned King of Soleb. But he's secretly a Giver, capable of raising the dead - and it's forbidden for Givers to rule. Despite this, he's desperate to end Soleb's war with Alelune, and will marry their rightful king, Cat, a Reaper who can kill with a single touch, to do so. But before Cat can challenge his tyrannical brother for Alelune's throne, the goddess of Death unleashes a devastating plague on both nations. With Elician and Cat's attention on Death herself, Elician's Giver sister, Fen, is left behind to heal the sick of an uncertain nation still at war. In the face of this new responsibility, Fen must decide what she is willing to sacrifice to ensure Elician and Cat can succeed. Two countries are at stake, and it's a race against time to appease the wrath of a god. The Moon Blessed King is the stunning second fantasy in the A Tale of Two Crowns duology, following The Sun Blessed Prince. For those who adore enemies-to-lovers and slow burn, and royals at odds. * * * Praise for the series: 'An outstanding slow-burn, character-driven narrative' - T. L. Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead 'Delicious romance and thorny court intrigue keep the pages turning' - Publishers Weekly Readers have also fallen in love with the series: 'Really excellent political/epic fantasy with the slowest, *softest* slow-burn queer romantic subplot' 'I absolutely love the magic system' 'There were plot twists after plot twists, my jaw literally was on the ground for half of it' 'Made me sob to the point where I had to stop reading for a second' 'I just loved it'

The Moon Blessed King

A haunting apocalyptic adventure, and a formidable exploration of what it means to be human in a shifting world, from "one of the very great writers alive today." (China Miéville) Phillip Tennent makes his living at the tideline, collecting artefacts that wash up from the Channel. It's been years since the crisis changed everything, but its exact nature remains obscure. Government barely functions, the seas are full of new creatures, an entire continent has been mislaid. It feels like the end. Now Phillip has fished out of the water an object he can't keep. A creature that keeps changing. An artefact he must take inland, before it destroys everything he thinks he knows. The End of Everything is a slyly satirical and unsettling post-apocalyptic adventure into the limits of human understanding, from the peerless master of contemporary fiction.

Alma Junior Classics

Only unabridged translation available When the Sesemann family and their friend Doctor Classen, who were so kind to Heidi during her stay in Frankfurt, visit her and her grandfather at their home in the Swiss Alps, young Klara Sesemann, an invalid, chooses to stay on for a while alone in the hope that the healthy mountain lifestyle and the expert nursing of Heidi's grandfather will do her good. Unfortunately, Heidi's devoted attention to Klara excites the jealousy of the goatherd Peter, who senses that the stranger has supplanted him in his only friend's affections. A fit of rage prompts Peter to commit an act intended to end Klara's stay on the mountain, which sets into motion a series of events that will produce a positive, unhoped for outcome. Beloved of generations of young people, Johanna Spyri's sequel to Heidi: Lessons at Home and Abroad is another cornerstone of children's literature and every bit as beguiling and heart-warming as the first volume. It is here presented in a brand-new, unabridged translation by Peter James Bowman, once again beautifully illustrated by Susan Hellard. This edition contains extra material for young readers, including a section on 'Other Classic Stories of Orphans', a glossary and a test-yourself quiz.

The Garden

The Crimson Crown Duology

Pay the price of blood and snow: Snow White’s wicked queen rises to her destiny in the second book of a queer, witchy duology that’s hailed as “an alluring, vengeful origin story that brings tremendous dimension to the classic fairy tale” (Chloe Gong)—from the author of Malice. The wicked queen’s story did not end with a happily ever after. And she wouldn’t have it any other way. With the king bound to her magic mirror and Princess Blodwyn, the rightful heir, hidden away in the countryside, Queen Ayleth has the kingdom entirely at her command. Despite her ultimate power, Ayleth finds herself consumed: With fears that the witches from her former coven will return to depose her. With the dread that someone at the palace will discover her secret. With her own deepening dark magic. And with thoughts of her lost love, Jacquetta—the witch whose betrayal still haunts Ayleth as stubbornly as the lingering scent of juniper. But Ayleth’s carefully built world begins to unravel when Blodwyn returns from exile accompanied by Margaret, the king’s scheming sister, and reveals a plan of her own: to invoke Braxos’s Trials, a contest of bravery, wisdom, and justice that could allow Blodwyn to retake the throne. Ayleth suddenly discovers she is in danger of losing the crown she sacrificed everything to win—and she will do anything to retain control. And Ayleth isn’t the only one struggling with her altered position. Blodwyn’s homecoming soon proves more difficult than she imagined. Embroiled in Ayleth’s viperous court, Blodwyn is surrounded by enemies and plagued by rumors of a long-buried curse come to life. As family secrets resurface, the princess isn’t sure who—or what—she can trust. Especially when she may be falling for one of her rivals in the trials. As the battle for the realm intensifies, both Ayleth and Blodwyn find themselves fighting not only for the throne but for the truth of their own souls. Soon, they must each decide: What price are they willing to pay to wear the crown?

The Witch Queen

'Offers fascinating insights into women's worlds and desires in Greco-Roman antiquity and beyond.' Emily Hauser, Sunday Times bestselling author of Mythica'A wonderfully witty and insightful look at attitudes towards female sexual pleasure in Ancient Greece and Rome... Truly fabulous.' Elodie Harper, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Wolf Den trilogy'An eye-opening and joyful read.' Jennifer Saint, Sunday Times bestselling author of Ariadne ***Was Ovid a surprising champion of women's sexual pleasure? Or did he just want them to fake it? Where did the British Museum curators hide the most pornographic of frescoes? And what exactly was the phallic wooden object excavated in 90's Northumberland?In APHRODISIA, Dr Jean Menzies dives into the hidden history of women's sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome. The classical world stretched across the Mediterranean for more than a millennium, its people and cultures wide and varied and its sexual proclivities equally so. Yet so often when we read about sex in antiquity it is about the men folk first and foremost: which brothels they were visiting, how they balanced wives and lovers, and what they got up to in the gymnasium. Delving into the literature, art and artefacts of the ancient world, from sex toys to seduction tips to kink, Dr Jean Menzies instead centres women and their desire. In doing so, she uncovers the many faces of women's sexuality over the course of thousands of years, and asks intriguing, and sometimes provocative questions about women, sex and desire today.***'Finally! An up close and personal look at ancient women's sex lives that doesn't treat them simply as a source of scurrilous gossip, but rather as a subject worthy of care and respect.' Dr Jane Draycott, author of Fulvia and Cleopatra's Daughter'Aphrodisia is a magnanimous triumph for the study of women in antiquity; Jean's ability to communicate this information in a witty and down-to-earth way makes this a necessary read for all people interested in sexuality and desire.' Erica Stevenson, author of The Odyssey Effect
