A stunning new edition of this timeless allegory of heaven and hell, repackaged and rebranded as part of the C.S. Lewis Signature Classics range. C.S. Lewis's dazzling allegory about heaven and hell and the chasm fixed between them, is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales which will appeal to readers of all ages. Lewis communicates deep spiritual truths through the sheer power of the fantastic. In The Great Divorce the writer in a dream boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations and comes to significant realisations about the ultimate consequences of everyday behaviour. This is the starting point for a profound meditation upon good and evil. "If we insist on keeping Hell (or even Earth) we shall not see Heaven: if we accept Heaven we shall not be able to retain even the smallest and most intimate souvenirs of Hell."

The first book in C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which continues with Perelandra and That Hideous Strength, Out of the Silent Planet begins the adventures of the remarkable Dr. Ransom. Here, that estimable man is abducted by a megalomaniacal physicist and his accomplice and taken via spaceship to the red planet of Malacandra. The two men are in need of a human sacrifice, and Dr. Ransom would seem to fit the bill. Once on the planet, however, Ransom eludes his captors, risking his life and his chances of returning to Earth, becoming a stranger in a land that is enchanting in its difference from Earth and instructive in its similarity. First published in 1943, Out of the Silent Planet remains a mysterious and suspenseful tour de force.

Dust jacket notes: "Here is Malcolm X in all of his depth and complexity; a fascinating and extraordinary man microscopically examined, documented and analyzed--in personal reflections, critiques, dialogues and articles by his black compatriots throughout the world, as well as through his own writings, speeches and manifestos. Intimates and adversaries alike discuss Malcolm the man, prophet, revolutionary, martyr; Malcolm as friend, foe, husband and father. This remarkable spectrum of opinion and experience includes American, African, Muslim and European reactions to Malcolm; transcriptions of actual TV debates; illuminating and often humorous conversations with the FBI (taped without the knowledge of the visiting agents). But Malcolm also speaks for himself--with brilliance, fluency and wit--in speeches writings and key position papers defining his views just before his assassination. The chronicle of his exceptional life includes all its facets, from hustler to jailbird, to militant Muslim convert, and finally, to the self-made world leader who had the courage to question his own passionate prejudices and revolutionary beginnings. American must ask not only 'Who was Malcolm X,' but also 'Who was he becoming?' A man who evolved ideologically and personally until the day he died, Malcolm was frequently and perhaps fatally misunderstood. This vital anthology, edited by John Henrik Clarke, dazzlingly illuminates Malcolm X, the many-faceted man. It will stand as the definitive insight into the figure who may yet be realized as the single most pivotal social leader of the twentieth century."

“A coming-of-age novel with a refreshingly different twist. Heartwarming but never sentimentalized and thoroughly believable.”—Cyrisse Jaffee, School Library Journal “Adler infuses her first book with sympathy and sharp insights, and she writes with professionalism.”—Publishers Weekly Twelve-year-old Jeremy is sure his summer at his family’s beach cottage is going to be terrible. It’s bad enough having a cast on his leg so he can’t run on the beach or swim with his friends, but to be stuck taking care of Lynette, a timid, seven-year-old girl, is the ultimate torture. Once Lynette arrives, though, Jeremy has to admit that he enjoys the company. She’s stuck in a depression after her mother’s recent drowning, and she doesn’t want to go anywhere near the ocean. To lift Lynette’s spirits, Jeremy invents the Glits, magical creatures who grant wishes. Jeremy and Lynette spend their days building elaborate sand castles for the Glits and becoming close friends, but as summer draws to a close, Jeremy worries about what will happen to Lynette when he’s no longer at her side.
