A Long Way Gone
Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
Ishmael Beah
Sarah Crichton Books
"What is it about African wars that is so disturbing? Why do they unsettle us so? . . . The great benefit of Ishmael Beah's memoir,
A Long Way Gone
, is that it may help us arrive at an understanding of this situation. Beah's autobiography is almost unique, as far as I can determine—perhaps the first time that a child soldier has been able to give literary voice to one of the most distressing phenomena of the late 20th century: the rise of the pubescent (or even prepubescent) warrior-killer . . .
A Long Way Gone
is his first, remarkable book. . . . Beah's memoir joins an elite class of writing: Africans witnessing African wars . . .
A Long Way Gone
makes you wonder how anyone comes through such unrelenting ghastliness and horror with his humanity and sanity intact. Unusually, the smiling, open face of the author on the book jacket provides welcome and timely reassurance. Ishmael Beah seems to prove it can happen."—

This I Believe
The Personal Philosophies of Remarkable Men and Women
Jay Allison and Dan Gediman, eds.
Holt Paperbacks
"To hold this range of beliefs in the palm of your hand is as fine, as grounding, as it was hearing them first on the radio. Heartfelt, deeply cherished beliefs, doctrines for living (yet none of them doctrinaire). Ideas and ideals that nourish. You can see it in their faces, in the photos in this book. And read it in their words. I'm so proud that NPR helped carry this Edward R. Murrow tradition into a new century. And so glad to have it in print, to encounter again and again."—

Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451
The Authorized Adaptation
Tim Hamilton; Introduction by Ray Bradbury
Hill and Wang
“A new adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s classic work
Fahrenheit 451
, with a fascinating and challenging new introduction by the author, is a vivid reminder of the special power of a graphic novel, of the genre’s ability to do things that words alone can’t . . . If you know the novel, you’ll still be thrilled by Tim Hamilton’s artwork in this new version, which combines a comic-book clarity—the panels are simple and straightforward, without the distraction of a lot of visual razzmatazz—with a deep, humane rendering of the novel’s theme.”—

The Inferno of Dante
Bilingual Edition
Dante; A New Verse Translation by Robert Pinsky
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
"Splendid . . . Pinsky's verse translation is fast-paced, idiomatic, and accurate. It moves with the concentrated gait of a lyric poem . . . It maintains the original's episodic and narrative velocity while mirroring its formal shape and character . . . Pinsky succeeds in creating a supple American equivalent for Dante's vernacular music where many others have failed."—

"In this courtship and marriage biography, the author examines an unlikely but powerful bond between cousins, the

Beginning with Darwin's 'to marry or not to marry' pro/con lists through Emma editing Charles' autobiography so that it would be less 'offensive,' the couple provided for each other sounding board, respected opposition, and beloved soulmate . . . The volume provides a unique blend of romance, scientific observations, explanations of medical practices prevalent in the early-nineteenth century, and opportunities to examine scientific discoveries and religious beliefs in detail."—
