The Pony Games
Kiana, a keen equestrian at Valley of the Hills stables, is not chosen as a team member for the Pony Games Championship at the Festival of Horses. But, inspired by the enthusiasm of a young, disabled rider, Kiana and her best friend Kate form their own team of five riders. The five young equestrians spend the summer training for the big event, with gallops on the beach and some wonderful adventures along the way. These “losers,” as they are labeled, form a lifelong friendship while they learn the importance of supporting each other and growing as a team. The saying that “attitude is everything” holds true as they work through the obstacles holding them back from success. They learn the life lesson that winning is not so important after all, and that what you put in to life is what you get out of it.
Opium and Other Stories
A rediscovered classic of Hungarian literature, this spellbinding collection vividly depicts the darkest impulses of the human psyche against the backdrop of Europe's moral and social decline on the eve of World War I Géza Csáth (pen name of Joszef Brenner) was a writer, playwright, musician, psychiatrist, and physician born in Hungary at the end of the 19th century. One of Sigmund Freud's earliest followers, he pushed both life and art to radical extremes in an all-consuming--and ultimately fatal--search for the unvarnished truth about the human condition.

Mourning El Dorado
What ever happened to the legend of El Dorado, the tale of the mythical city of gold lost in the Amazon jungle? Charlotte Rogers argues that El Dorado has not been forgotten and still inspires the reckless pursuit of illusory wealth. The search for gold in South America during the colonial period inaugurated the "promise of El Dorado"—the belief that wealth and happiness can be found in the tropical forests of the Americas. That assumption has endured over the course of centuries, still evident in the various modes of natural resource extraction, such as oil drilling and mining, that characterize the region today. Mourning El Dorado looks at how fiction from the American tropics written si...

Films like Apocalypse Now, television shows like Lost, and of course stories like Heart of Darkness all pursue the essential question of why the unknown world terrifies adventurer and spectator alike. In Jungle Fever, Charlotte Rogers goes deep into five books that first defined the jungle as a violent and maddening place. The reader finds urban explorers venturing into the wilderness, encountering and living among the "native" inhabitants, and eventually losing their minds. The canonical works of aut...
