2023 Reprint of the 1927 edition. The subject of this brilliant novel is the daily life of an English family in the Hebrides. "There are dozens of passages in which the secret relations of men and women, especially women, to the trifling events of life are rendered with convincing and elaborate subtlety. To have written them is to have surpassed, in this one respect, almost every contemporary novelist."-The Saturday Review "Virginia Woolf stands as the chief figure of modernism in England and must be included with Joyce and Proust in the realization of experimental achievements that have completely broken with tradition.-New York Times "To the Lighthouse is one of the greatest elegies in the English language, a book which transcends time." -Margaret Drabble "Without question one of the two or three finest novels of the twentieth century. Woolf comments on the most pressing dramas of our human predicament: war, mortality, family, love. If you're like me you'll come back to this book often, always astounded, always moved, always refreshed." -Rick Moody "[Woolf's] people are astoundingly real...The tragic futility, the absurdity, the pathetic beauty, of life-we experience all of this in our sharing of seven hours of Mrs. Ramsay's wasted or not wasted existence. We have seen, through her, the world." -Conrad Aiken

"In 1910 the Dixie Publishing Company Published The Jew a Negro by Rev. Arthur T. Abernethy, a preacher, professor and rustic journalist. The author sought to demonstrate through "ethnology" and "Scriptural proofs" that 'the Jew of today, as well as his ancestors in other times, is the kinsman and descendant of the Negro.' Behind the book lay a century of transatlantic speculation on the racial status of the Jew." Leonard Rogoff, Is the Jew White?: The Racial Place of the Southern Jew. 1997.

2022 Reprint of the 1798 Edition. This edition reprints all the recipes in the original edition and is newly typeset for clarity. All of the original language is retained in its entirely. Only the recipes are included, with passing preliminary comments being excluded for the sake of economy. Named by the Library of Congress as one of the 88 "Books That Shaped America," American Cookery was the first cookbook by an American author published in the United States. Until its publication, cookbooks printed and used by American colonists were British. The recipes in her book were adapted to the United States, a just recently constituted nation. The recipes reflect the fact that American cooks had learned to make do with what was available in North America. This cookbook reveals the rich variety of food colonial Americans used, their tastes, cooking and eating habits, and even their rich, down-to-earth language. Bringing together English cooking methods with truly American products, American Cookery contains the first known printed recipes substituting American maize for English oats; and the recipe for Johnny Cake is apparently the first printed version using cornmeal. The book also contains the first known recipe for turkey. Possibly the most far-reaching innovation was Simmons use of pearlash; a staple in colonial households as a leavening agent in dough, which eventually led to the development of modern baking powders. Thus, twenty years after the political upheaval of the American Revolution of 1776, a second revolution, a culinary one, occurred with the publication of a cookbook by an American for Americans.--Jan Longone, curator of American Culinary History, University of Michigan.

2022 Reprint of the 1926 Edition. With an additional note by the Author and a Critical Commentary by George S. Schuyler. Set during the Harlem Renaissance in the United States in the 1920s, Nigger Heaven has been controversial since its publication. The novel is a portrayal of life in the "great black walled city" of Harlem, part of New York City. It describes the interactions of African American intellectuals, political activists, bacchanalian workers, and other Harlem characters. The plot concerns two people, a quiet librarian, and an aspiring writer, who try to keep their love alive as racism denies them every opportunity.This roman à clef became an instant bestseller and served as an informal guidebook to Harlem. It also split the black literary community, as some, like Langston Hughes and Nella Larsen, appreciated it, while others, like Countee Cullen and W. E. B. Du Bois, regarded it as an "affront to the hospitality of black folks". The book fueled a period of "Harlemania", during which the neighborhood became popular among white people, who then frequented its cabarets and bars. This edition from the 1951 reprint by Avon Publishing Company.
