1999: A Novel of the CelticTiger and the Search for Peace (Irish Century Novels): Morgan Llywelyn: 9

Book Description:

Release Date: March 3, 2009 | Series: Irish Century Novels

The Irish Century concludes in this climactic novel; Llywelyn’s masterpiece is complete
The Irish Century series is the story of the Irish people’s epic struggle for independence through the tumultuous course of the twentieth century. Morgan Llywelyn’s magisterial multi-novel chronicle of that story began with 1916, which was followed by 1921, 1949, and 1972. It now concludes with 1999: A Novel of the Celtic Tiger and the Search for Peace. 1999 brings the story from 1972 to the disarmament talks and beginnings of reconciliation among the Irish at the end of the twentieth century.
Barry Halloran, strong, clever, and passionately patriotic, who was the central character of 1972, remains central. Now a crippled photojournalist, he marries his beloved Barbara Kavanaugh, and steps back from the armed struggle. Through his work he documents the historic events that take us from the horrific aftermath of Bloody Sunday through the decades of The Troubles to the present. This is a noble conclusion to an historical mega-novel that will be read for years.

Book Description:

Release Date: October 1, 1986

Danielle Steel, America’s number-one best-selling novelist, has held millions spell-boundwith such novels as Family Album, Full Circle, and Changes. But with Secrets shetakes her readers beyond the tightly knit world of the family, into the heart ofthe nation’s most glamorous industry: television.
Here is the drama behind the creationof Manhattan, a first-of-its-kind prime-time television series produced by MelvinWechsler. Tempered by tragedy, seasoned by success, a man with a Midas touch, MelWechsler will assemble a dazzling cast:

Sabina Quarles at forty-five has managedto maintain–by dint of spunk and surgery–the body of an eighteen-year-old. Tough,spirited, and self-sufficient, she has survived twenty years in Hollywood, nevermarrying, never quite succeeding, never deigning to work in television.Yet Manhattan may bring her both the stardom she craves–and the security her very special needsrequire.
Jane Adams is an earthy thirty-nine-year-old beauty.Devoted to her children,dominated by her abusive and violent husband, forced to choose between her husbandand her acting career, Jane may find that her role in Manhattan has cost her everythingthat matters most.
Zack Taylor, the leading man, is a paragon of professionalism. Yet beyond the smooth good looks, the easy warmth, and the slick charm of the eligiblebachelor, he remains an enigma.
The charming ingenue, Gabrielle Thornton-Smith,seems to have appeared out of the blue. Beautiful, talented and on the brink of successat twenty-five, what can she have to hide?
And Bill Warwick, plucked from the ranksof struggling young actors, is now slated to be the nation’s new heartthrob.Buthe has lied about one issue in his background. Not only will Bill’s future hang inthe balance, but the success of the whole series may be jeopardized when he is forcedpublicly to confront the consequences of his little white lie.
Set in Los Angelesand New York, Secrets carries the reader behind the scenes into the making of a majortelevision series. Probing even deeper beneath the polished surfaces, Danielle Steelexplores the dilemmas both men and women, in and out of the searchlight of the media,confront today. She paints a vivid, compelling picture of a sophisticated world andthe surprisingly real problems of the people who inhabit it.
Here Danielle Steeldelineates her richest and most complex cast of characters, people forced togetherby extraordinary circumstances who must perform even when they're torn apart by theirdeepest secrets.

The True History of Paradise: A Novel: Margaret Cezair-Thompson: 9780812979831: Amazon.com: Books

Book Description:

Release Date: July 14, 2009

It is 1981. Jean Landing secretly plans to flee her beloved Jamaica–the only home her family has ever known, a place now rife with political turmoil. But before she can make her final preparations, she receives devastating news: Lana, her sister, is dead. The country’s state of emergency leaves no time to arrange a proper funeral. Even Jean’s mother, Monica, who hadn’t spoken to Lana in more than a decade, cannot fully embrace her grief.
The tragedy only underscores Jean’s need to leave an island that holds no promise of a future. Her harrowing journey to freedom across a battered landscape takes Jean through a terrain of memories: of her childhood, with a detached mother at odds with an adoring father, of her complex bond with Lana, and of the friends and lovers who have shaped and shared her days. Epic in scope, The True History of Paradise poignantly portrays the complexities of family and racial identity in a troubled Eden.

Uncle Tom's Cabin (Barnes & Noble Classics Series): Harriet Beecher Stowe,Amanda Claybaugh:

Book Description:

Publication Date: January 30, 2005 | Series: Barnes & Noble Classics

Uncle Tom's Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics:

All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and literary—to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works.

 

Nearly every young author dreams of writing a book that will literally change the world. A few have succeeded, and Harriet Beecher Stowe is such a marvel. Although the American anti-slavery movement had existed at least as long as the nation itself, Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) galvanized public opinion as nothing had before. The book sold 10,000 copies in its first week and 300,000 in its first year. Its vivid dramatization of slavery’s cruelties so aroused readers that it is said Abraham Lincoln told Stowe her work had been a catalyst for the Civil War.

Today the novel is often labeled condescending, but its characters—Tom, Topsy, Little Eva, Eliza, and the evil Simon Legree—still have the power to move our hearts. Though “Uncle Tom” has become a synonym for a fawning black yes-man, Stowe’s Tom is actually American literature’s first black hero, a man who suffers for refusing to obey his white oppressors. Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a living, relevant story, passionate in its vivid depiction of the cruelest forms of injustice and inhumanity—and the courage it takes to fight against them.

Amanda Claybaugh is Assistant Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
