The Day Without Yesterday
by William RossbachBranch Nichols, adventurer, mystery writer, and eternal skeptic, must travel the globe to acquire nine parts to a pyramid, each being safeguarded by members of a 4000-year-old secret organization known as the Pyramidions. When assembled, the pyramid becomes a key. But what does is unlock, and what would it mean for mankind? He makes the journey with his lifelong friend, Roddy, and a pesky female archeology writer, Linda, while being relentlessly pursued by assassins. Questions abound: why was the pyramid of Giza built; how was it built; who was ultimately behind its construction? And what “secret” world power has the most to lose if they complete their quest? Truth—scientific, political, and historical—meets with exotic adventure as the three have their understanding of the world, and how it works, shattered and reformed with each new mind-boggling revelation. The past isn’t what it used to be.

Daybreak: New and Selected Poems
by Claire MalrouxA bilingual collection of poetry, from elegies to poem memoirs, by a revered French master.For more than four decades Claire Malroux has blazed a unique path in contemporary French poetry. She is influenced by such French poets as Mallarmé and Yves Bonnefoy, but her work also bears the mark, and this is unusual in France, of Anglophone poets like Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Bishop, and Derek Walcott. A prominent translator of poetry from English into French, Malroux is one of those rare poets whose work is informed by a day-to-day intimacy with a second language in its greatest variations and subtleties. Her poems move between an intense but philosophical and abstract interiority and an acute engagement with the material world. This bilingual selection by the award-winning poet and translator Marilyn Hacker presents Malroux&’s oeuvre, from her early lyric poems to an excerpt from A Long-Gone Sun—a poem-memoir of life in southern France before and during World War II—to new and uncollected poems, including an elegiac sequence written after the death of her life partner, the writer Pierre Silvain.
