The Collected Works
Herman Melville's 'The Collected Works' showcases a variety of literary genres and themes, including the famous novel 'Moby-Dick.' Melville's dense prose and intricate character development set him apart as a seminal American writer of the 19th century, exploring themes of obsession, isolation, and morality. The collection also includes lesser-known works such as 'Billy Budd' and 'Bartleby, the Scrivener,' each offering unique insights into Melville's exploration of the human condition. Melville's narrative style is marked by vivid descriptions and philosophical musings, creating a rich tapestry of language and symbolism that continues to captivate readers today. His complex narratives challenge readers to delve into the depths of human psychology and societal norms, making 'The Collected Works' a valuable addition to any literary enthusiast's collection. This comprehensive collection serves as a testament to Melville's enduring legacy as a master storyteller, deserving of recognition and appreciation for his profound literary contributions.
Clarel
Melville's long poem Clarel: A Poem and Pilgrimage in the Holy Land (1876) was the last full-length book he published. Until the mid-twentieth century even the most partisan of Melville's advocates hesitated to endure a four-part poem of 150 cantos of almost 18,000 lines, about a naïve American named Clarel, on pilgrimage through the Palestinian ruins with a provocative cluster of companions. But modern critics have found Clarel a much better poem than was ever realized. Robert Penn Warren called it a precursor of The Waste Land. It abounds with revelations of Melville's inner life. Most strikingly, it is argued that the character Vine is a portrait of Melville's friend Hawthorne. Based on the only edition published during Melville's lifetime, this scholarly edition adopts thirty-nine corrections from a copy marked by Melville and incorporates 154 emendations by the present editors, an also includes a section of related documents and extensive discussions. This scholarly edition is an Approved Text of the Center for Editions of American Authors (Modern Language Association of America).
Dark Days
When gods war... Death is everywhere, Hopelessness. Despair. Dark Days. Fate has chosen her champions, and no one will expect what two children can do against the might of the Last God. They don't know it yet, but they have one chance of winning. If Fate is on their side. If Fate is not killed first. Kirkus Reviews calls Dark Days a “…consistently engrossing tale of somber, menacing worlds” featuring “the superbly developed” Ralen and Anjee, a young boy and girl, fighting to survive among merciless beings who would just as soon devour them. Among them is the strangely sympathetic Bringer of the Last God, Lady Dinah, a cunning demigod who senses ‘something I can’t define’ about her new captives. Dinah, disgraced by near-defeat in her last battle, seeks to reclaim her place as Bringer, but the ‘specialness’ of Ralen is impossible to harness. His existence threatens her own power—and, perhaps, also the power of the Last God Himself. Ralen and Angee don’t care that they are pawns, only that they stay alive and together. Yet, no matter how hard Ralen tries to secure his and Anjee’s safety, the future seems grim.
The Chesapeake House

Star Song
From an Aurora Award-winning author comes a thrilling young-adult outer-space adventure. When the old woman who raised him in a remote village is murdered, Kriss Lemarc finds himself alone on a planet where he’ll always be an outsider. His only link to his long-dead, unknown parents is the touchlyre they bequeathed him, a strange instrument that not only plays music but pours his innermost feelings into the minds of his listeners. When Tevera, a girl of the space-going, nomadic Family, hears Kriss perform, she is drawn to him against her better judgment and the rules of her people. With her help, though mistrusted and even hated by some of her comrades, Kriss seeks to discover the origin of the touchlyre, the fate of his parents, and a place where he truly belongs. But the touchlyre proves to be more than just a musical oddity. Powerful, ruthless people will stop at nothing to get it—and Kriss and Tevera are all that stand in their way.

Louis Jacobs and the Quest for a Contemporary Jewish Theology
For Louis Jacobs, the quest—the process of engaging with and thinking about Jewish faith—was a lifelong pursuit. He offered a model in the 1960s, a period characterized by general religious crisis, of an observant, committed, but intellectually curious Judaism that empowered individual seekers to address challenges to faith. In Orthodox Judaism at the time a battle was under way for religious control. Generating a widespread controversy in British Jewry known as the ‘Jacobs Affair’, his thought offers a lens for examining the trajectory of Orthodoxy. In a contemporary context marked by the changing cultural and intellectual concerns of a ‘post-secular’ age, the focus of some of t...
