Sonata in Wax
"Sonata in Wax is a terrific novel—immersive, compelling, smart, the story propelled by a cast of complex, full-bodied characters and the author’s absolute mastery of the musical worlds he conjures...I’m knocked flat with admiration for this splendid novel.” —Ben Fountain, New York Times bestselling author of Devil Makes Three From award-winning author Edward Hamlin comes an immersive, time-hopping musical mystery that intertwines the stories of Elisabeth Garnier, a young Frenchwoman living in World War I Boston, and Ben Weil, an acclaimed music producer whose life is consumed by a lie—and by a bizarre, breathtaking sonata that could destroy him if he can’t uncover its composer...
Nemesis
The world evolves. Billions are subjugated by the elite few, who cannot be legally deposed. As the planet rolls onwards to its nemesis, two groups will remain for the denouement, the elite few, and the assassins they contracted with, and in the end, only the assassins. Stephen Parry, cold, remorseless Cumbrian, and Michael O’Leary, charismatic, literate Irishman, are professional assassins. Publicly denied, their profession is an essential component of world politics. Assassinations, commissioned by quietly spoken people in suits, are carried out with cool efficient detachment. This changes however, when the assassins confront an apocalyptic horror, casually undertaken by the elite, which dramatically polarises their previous political disinterest. The consequences are world shattering.

From Artisan to Worker
Examines the debate over the potential reestablishment of guilds that occurred inside and outside the French government from 1776 to 1821.
Space and Self in Early Modern European Cultures
The notion of 'selfhood' conjures up images of self-sufficiency, integrity, introspectiveness, and autonomy characteristics typically associated with 'modernity.' The seventeenth century marks the crucial transition to a new form of 'bourgeois' selfhood, although the concept goes back to the pre-modern and early modern period. A richly interdisciplinary collection, Space and Self integrates perspectives from history, history of literature, and history of art to link the issue of selfhood to the new and vital literature on space. As Space and Self shows, there have at all times been multiple paths and alternative possibilities for forming identities, marking personhood, and experiencing life as a concrete, singular individual. Positioning self and space as specific and evolving constructs, a diverse group of contributors explore how persons become embodied in particular places or inscribed in concrete space. Space and Self thus sets the terms for current discussion of these topics and provides new approaches to studying their cultural specificity.
