The definitive edition of Plath's poetry for readers, scholars and students

Plath S: The Poems of Sylvia Plath

The Poems of Sylvia Plath

A master forger transforms a young woman's life - but what will it cost her? 'One of the best historical crime novels I've ever read' Frances Quinn 'A page-turner: morally complex and beautifully written' Leonora Nattrass, bestselling author of Blue WaterIn post-war Flanders, Adelais de Wolf's family is unraveling: her mother increasingly consumed by religious fervor, her father by alcohol. But when her beloved uncle dies, Adelais finds herself in receipt of an unexpected legacy: a shuttered house in a rundown district and its contents hold the promise of independence and wealth, if she is willing to break the law.Adelais stifles her doubts and her fortunes are transformed. But with her rise comes complications: her victimless crimes may not be as victimless as she supposed. Nor has she counted on the singular fanaticism of a brutal detective who never forgives and never forgets.Caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, will Adelais find that her new life comes at too high a price?'A riveting detective story that turns the genre on its head' Alice Austen, author of 33 Place Brugmann'Intriguing, pacy, [with] a host of memorable characters... [it] captures everyone's heart' Virginia Baily, author of Early One Morning 'Original and thoughtful' Peter Hitchens, The Lamp PRAISE FOR PHILIP GRAY'Immensely enjoyable' BBC TWO BETWEEN THE COVERS'Atmospheric' THE TIMES'Haunting, cinematic and utterly gripping' D. B. JOHN'Literary class, intellectual depth and thriller pacing' MATT REES'Enthralling, enchanting . . . he really is that good' DAVID YOUNG

The House with Nine Locks

SHORTLISTED FOR THE TS ELIOT PRIZE 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE 2026 '(c) Codex' SHORTLISTED FOR THE FORWARD PRIZE FOR BEST SINGLE POEM LONGLISTED FOR THE GRIFFIN POETRY PRIZE 2026 'Profound, sheer originality... a tantalising jigsaw puzzle of a book' Tristram Fane-Saunders, Telegraph In The New Carthaginians, time - and with it the world - is out of joint. A hijacked plane lands at Entebbe International Airport in 1976, triggering the crisis that will lead to Idi Amin's Uganda becoming a pariah state and, within a few years, to the young Nick Makoha's flight from the country. A mysterious writer daubs poetic slogans on the walls of late-'70s New York City, signing them SAMO(c). Three characters who are also one - the Poet, a Black Icarus and a resurrected Jean-Michel Basquiat - journey through a time that is both our own and not, watching TV, discussing art and literature and tucking their wings into their jackets on the way to airport security. Concerned throughout with flight and falling, the sample and the loop, The New Carthaginians is a poetry collection of staggering originality: a work by an author at the height of his powers, in which the familiar Western canons of art, history and philosophy are prised apart and reassembled in a new configuration. Drawing on Basquiat's technique of the 'exploded' collage, our heroes' odyssey gathers the symbols of a new mythos, through which the othering of Black life might be undone and the stage set for some fresh emergence, some transfigured understanding of myth and life. 'Hold that note,' writes the poet. 'In this place you are no longer the chorus ... In any future, remember you are a New Carthaginian.' A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST SUMMER BOOK OF POETRY 2025 'In this book, Nick Makoha has found an otherworldly, visionary voice and diction that arrest you from the first page and never let you go.' Jason Allen-Paisant, Winner of the TS Eliot Prize

The New Carthaginians

This pocketable volume presents a fresh introduction to the vivid and surprising work of a Nobel Prize-winning poet. how cunningly he weaves himself through his own former shapeand works to seize this swaying worldby stretching out the arms he has conceived - beautiful beyond belief at this passingat this very passing moment that's just passed. These intimate, immediate poems were written during the precarious years of Soviet occupation in Poland. Rooted in the pains and joys of the everyday, they ask us what it means to live out our lives amid global conflict and its aftermath. Underlying Szymborska's work is a continual sense of astonishment at having survived, as well as the disbelief and delight that life goes on - that the acrobat's hands have caught the trapeze. Featuring Szymborska's Nobel Prize acceptance speech as an afterword. Translated by Stanislaw Baranczak and Clare Cavanagh.

The Acrobat

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

From the MS NOW legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor, an urgent summons to tackle the scourge of political lies in America - and prevent a figure like Donald Trump from ever rising again "The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple US democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system - one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look to other countries, such as Brazil, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future - and for saving democracy. We are entitled to more from our governments, and Weissmann shows us how we can get it.

Global Studies

In the shifting landscapes of global drug governance, power asymmetries shape drug economies as well as policy discourses. Through counternarratives and regional case studies of the Americas, this edited volume investigates how prohibition, securitization, and regulation intertwine in the production of violence and inequality. Bridging fresh interdisciplinary studies and critical policy analysis, the contributors provide conceptual and empirical insights toward more reflexive, context-sensitive, and emancipatory approaches to drug policies.

Indigenous Citizens chronicles Native Americans' extraordinary resilience and resistance to colonialism, coercive assimilation programmes such as Indian Boarding Schools and white Americans' backlash against their treaty rights, from the American Revolution to the 2024 election. It highlights their efforts to both preserve tribal sovereignty and secure the civil rights accorded to other Americans, a dual citizenship codified in the 1924 Indian Citizenship Act. Covering the arc of American history, Paul C. Rosier reveals Indigenous Americans' vision of a country that lives up to the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Through patriotic military service, activism and political writings Native Americans championed their belief in a multicultural America that honoured its legal obligations as it assumed international prominence in the twentieth century. Indigenous Citizens is unique in its breadth, its focus on the evolution of Native peoples' dual allegiances and its coverage of twenty-first-century Indigenous issues.

One of the Library of Congress's "Books That Shaped America"One of The Guardian's 100 Best Nonfiction Books"Walden...is arguably the most important work of literary nonfiction in the American canon."-New York TimesIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. Walden is a foundational transcendentalist treatise from Henry David Thoreau on self-reliance, simplicity, and how to escape the corruption and consumerism of modern society.I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.On July 4, 1845, Henry David Thoreau began a two-year experiment: Living alone in a self-built hut on the edge of Walden Pond outside of Concord, Massachusetts, "to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Having observed and condemned changes in 19th century society -- increasing materialism, urbanism, and injustice from the state -- Thoreau endeavored to adopt a lifestyle in opposition to these modern vices. Walden is the account of how and why Thoreau lived during this time, and his conclusions about the natural world and humanity's place in it.Rich with detailed observations on New England's woods and the "bottomless" Walden pond, layered with analysis of the philosophers that inspired Thoreau's unusual project, and framed by the passage of the four seasons, Walden became a foundational text of the transcendentalist movement and is now accepted as one of the most important works of American literature, changing the course of Western psychology, political philosophy, and the tradition of nature writing.<ul><li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li><li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li><li>AMERICA'S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters. Our books enrich, challenge, and defined the American spirit.</li><li>AMERICA 250: The HarperCollins American Classics arrive in time for America's 250th anniversary celebrations.</li></ul>
