Amikuk
by Rutherford MontgomeryTHIS IS a tale of adventure in the seas around the Aleutian Islands, seas that are populated by sharks and sea lions, whales and porpoises—and sea otters. Amikuk is a young sea otter. As he grows up and learns to swim and dive for his own food, he also learns that the life of a sea otter is full of dangers—from men who will stop at nothing to gain his valuable pelt, from killer whales, and from deadly sharks. In this exciting and unusual story, Amikuk learns to take care of himself in dangerous waters, and—with the help of an unknown friend, an Aleutian boy named Peter—manages to escape from the clubs and bullets of determined hunters. It is Peter who saves Amikuk and his family from certain death more than once—although the otters never know of Peter's guardianship of their lives. Woven into the story are the excitement of a shipwreck, a thrilling contest between a small band of men and a herd of huge sea lions, Amikuk's narrow escapes from sea marauders. All in all, this is a book that will delight all youthful readers.

Aminta: A Pastoral Play (Dual-language Poetry Series)
by Torquato Tasso Charles Jernigan Irene Marchegiani JonesTasso's masterpiece "Aminta" is perhaps the most famous pastoral play ever. It is also the work that launched the reputation of the author of the famed Italian epic poem of the First Crusade, Gerusalemme liberata. This story of satyrs and nymphs, shepherds and lovers is set in the ideal forest, far from the world of urban sophistication and decadence. It is presented here in the first Italian-English, dual-language edition of the play, and is the first new English translation published since the 19th century. Aminta's importance can not be overestimated; and its influence has been phenomenal, spawning over 200 plays by 1700 in Italy alone. This Italian pastoral is the source of numerous plays in France, Spain and England. Indirectly at least, it is also an inspiration for Shakespeare's pastoral comedies, such as "As You Like It," "Twelfth Night," and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." This volume is illustrated with the original woodcuts of the 1589 Aldine edition. Winner of the 2002 Premio Internazionale Diego Valeri of the Premio Monselice. DUAL-LANGUAGE POETRY. Introduction, notes, bibliography, illustrated.

Amistad: A Long Road to Freedom
by Walter Dean MyersIn 1839, a young man named Sengbe Pieh led a group of illegally enslaved Africans to revolt against their captors aboard the slave ship Amistad. All they wanted was to return home to their families. Instead, the Africans landed in the United States, where they were imprisoned and charged with murder. In the historic case that followed, abolitionists came to the Amistad captives' defense. Sengbe Pieh continued as the group's leader, learning enough English to speak out in court for the freedom they so desperately needed.
