The Poisoned King

A teenage girl must do Death’s bidding to uncover the secrets of her sister’s disappearance in this haunting young adult novel by the author of The Year of the Witching. “A searing portrayal of girlhood, at once sparkling and violently dark.”—Goldy Moldavsky, New York Times bestselling author of The Mary Shelley Club Roslyn isn’t herself anymore.

So when the elusive caravan of girls that Adeline spent her last summer with rolls back into town, Roslyn joins them to finally figure out what happened to her sister. Strange, beautiful, and intriguing, the girls are closed off from the world. And as it turns out, they’re brought together by a force more sinister than Roslyn’s nightmares could’ve conjured up: Death himself. Death has spared the girls from untimely endings, and to pay for their lives, the girls travel the country reaping souls on his behalf. Now Roslyn must decide if finding closure is worth the price of striking the same deal.

When I Was Death

Little Clothbound Classics

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire, and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In “Roman Fever,” two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in “After Holbein,” the elaborate pretenses of two aging New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion. These Wharton works are the latest to join the Little Clothbound Classic series designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Roman Fever

Oxford World's Classics

'The poem I had planned to write on the banks of the Ganga was never written. But it materialized in my life.'

Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941), Nobel Laureate and polymath, is one of the most eminent Indian writers of world literature. This volume presents new English translations of twenty of his short stories. Taking in a wide variety of registers (comedies, tragedies, the mundane and the fantastical), the selection showcases Tagore as one of the earliest practitioners of the short story genre in the Bengali language, influenced by both Indian and Western traditions. In particular, Tagore added a unique style of his own to Western conventions of the short story form, allowing him to present the everyday in literary vignettes, seamlessly weaving in the rhythms of daily life, unfolding in rural landscapes. The stories also offer social critiques--of colonialism, dowry, and immolation of widows. A highly sensitive and thoughtful observer of life, Tagore's vision transcends regional boundaries, embracing a universal humanity that resonates across cultures, while never denouncing a deep indigeneity. 

These authoritative translations by a team of expert scholars are accompanied by Sumit Chakrabarti's introduction, reflecting on the literary and historical implications of Tagore's stories. 

ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
