In the Land of Happy Tears: collected and edited by David Stromberg
by David StrombergYou don't need to be Jewish to love Levy's rye bread, nor do you need to read Yiddish to appreciate these wise tales. This engaging collection offers access to modern works--translated for the first time into English--for anyone who appreciates a well-told story rich with timeless wisdom. A year-round book for families. Includes a comprehensive introduction on Yiddish culture.Largely overlooked or forgotten, these hidden treasures from the early and middle twentieth century by some of the most respected Yiddish writers of their time—including Jacob Kreplak, Moyshe Nadir, and Rachel Shabad—remain surprisingly resonant for a contemporary audience. Folktales can be scary, as wrongdoers often get their comeuppance in unsuspected or even macabre ways, but the reinvigoration of values sometimes perceived as quaint makes for a stimulating read. In this collection you’ll meet a king who loves honey so much that instead of ruling over his people, he licks honey all day. You’ll ponder the conundrum of the moon, who longs for a playmate—but where to find a child who isn’t fast asleep at night? You’ll enter a forest in which the king of mushrooms and the queen of ants coexist autonomously but face the same threat: the little hands and trampling feet of children at play. And you’ll learn how flavoring food with the salt from tears can pose a challenging dilemma."Collected and arranged with the lightest of touches by David Stromberg, this gathering of little-known Yiddish tales enchants with an always-new old-world magic. In the Land of Happy Tears is utterly and actively refreshing, for the wide-eyed child in every grownup and children wising up everywhere." —poet, translator, and MacArthur Prize winner Peter Cole

In the Land of the Jaguar: South America and Its People
by Gena K. GorrellSouth America's story is as varied as its geography of soaring mountains, scorching deserts, and lush rainforests. In Ecuador alone, there are 25,000 kinds of plants, 1,500 species of birds, 4,500 different butterflies, and 300 mammals! Gena K. Gorrell's brilliant text combines an often tragic history with the problems and triumphs of the present. The information she offers ranges from "the Requirement" (a document read out by the conquistadors each time they came upon a new group of indigenous people to justify their actions) to drug cartels, from the hidden and secretive Elders (a civilization that retreated to the mountains to preserve its customs and now considers itself the "guardian of the world") to Gabriel García Márquez. In the Land of the Jaguar: South America and Its People is a fascinating, colorful journey of exploration and discovery.

In the Night Season
by Christiaan Barnard Siegfried Stander"...in the dark hour of the human soul it is always half past four in the morning. ... Many nurses, and doctors, too, for that matter, believed that this hour of the night was the low ebb of human life, that it was in the dark hours before dawn that most patients gave up and died." AND WILL THIS DOCTOR HAVE TO TELL THE WOMAN HE LOVES THAT SHE, TOO, MAY SOON DIE IN THE NIGHT SEASON? In this haunting new novel by world-famous heart surgeon Dr. Christiaan Barnard, the themes of love, life--and death--come together in an unforgettable story, a story which centers on renowned physician Charles de la Porte and Janice Case, the woman he loves. Even the threat of a malpractice suit, and the disapproval of his colleagues, cannot bring him to tell her that she is dying of cancer. It is a decision which tests his fundamental beliefs about the purpose of his profession. It is a decision from which he cannot escape. In this compellingly readable book, Christiaan Barnard displays his remarkable gifts as a novelist and transmits "the reality experienced daily in a hospital" to the pages of IN THE NIGHT SEASON. His hero confronts the most controversial issues facing modern medicine today--the treatment of breast cancer, the unnecessary prolonging of life, and the doctor's role in euthanasia. In a climax that will not release the reader, Charles de la Porte faces a doctor's ultimate responsibility. Filled with the authenticity and compassion that could only come from one who has dealt firsthand with life and death, IN THE NIGHT SEASON is destined to become one of the most talked about medical novels in recent times.
