THE MALTESE FALCON
by Dashiell Hammett (author), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art by Lizzie Houldsworth

About the Book:

The Maltese Falcon is a 1930 detective novel by American writer Dashiell Hammett, originally serialized in the magazine Black Mask beginning with the September 1929 issue. The story is told entirely in external third-person narrative; there is no description whatsoever of any character's thoughts or feelings, only what they say and do, and how they look. The novel has been adapted several times for the cinema. The main character, Sam Spade (who also appeared later in some lesser-known short stories), was a departure from Hammett's nameless detective, The Continental Op. Spade combined several features of previous detectives, notably his cold detachment, keen eye for detail, unflinching and sometimes ruthless determination to achieve his own form of justice, and a complete lack of sentimentality.

THE TRIAL
by Franz Kafka (author), David Wyllie (transl.), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art by Félix Labisse

About the Book:

The Trial is a novel written by Franz Kafka between 1914 and 1915 and published posthumously in 1925. One of his best-known works, it tells the story of a man, Josef K., who is arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority, with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Heavily influenced by Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov, Kafka even went so far as to call Dostoevsky a blood relative. Like Kafka's two other novels, The Trial was never completed, although it does include a chapter which appears to bring the story to an intentionally abrupt ending. After Kafka's death in 1924 his friend and literary executor, Max Brod, put the author's text and remaining manuscript together in Berlin for publication in German. This edition is translated by David Wyllie.

THE LAST DAYS OF SOCRATES
by by Plato (author), Benjamin Jowett & Henry Cary (transl.), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art by Jacques-Louis David

About the Book:

This edition includes all four Socratic dialogues of the Euthyphro, The Apology, Crito, and Phaedo. Euthyphro, by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue whose events occur in the weeks before the trial of Socrates, between Socrates and Euthyphro. The dialogue covers subjects such as the meaning of piety and justice. As is common with Plato's earliest dialogues, it ends in aporia. The Apology of Socrates, written by Plato, is a Socratic dialogue of the speech of legal self-defence which Socrates (469–399 BC) spoke at his trial for impiety and corruption in 399 BC. Crito is a dialogue that depicts a conversation between Socrates and his wealthy friend Crito of Alopece regarding justice, injustice, and the appropriate response to injustice after Socrates' imprisonment, which is chronicled in the Apology. Phaedo, also known to ancient readers as On The Soul, is one of the best-known dialogues of Plato's middle period, along with the Republic and the Symposium. The philosophical subject of the dialogue is the immortality of the soul.

STORIES OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS KNIGHTS
by U. Waldo Cutler (author), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), "The Arming and Departure of the Knights" scene from a 1890s Holy Grail Tapestry by Unknown Artist (woven by Morris & Co. and commissioned by William Knox D'Arcy in 1890 as part of a set of six tapestries depicting scenes from the legend of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail for his dining room at Stanmore Hall, outside London).

About the Book:

This is reproduction of the original: Stories of King Arthur and His Knights by Cutler U. Waldo. The material for the Arthur stories came from many countries and from many different periods of history. Much of it is wholly fanciful, but the writers connected all the incidents directly or indirectly with the old Briton king of the fifth century, who was the model of knighthood, "without fear and without reproach." Perhaps there was a real King Arthur, who led the Britons against the Saxon invaders of their land, who was killed by his traitor nephew, and who was buried at Glastonbury,-the valley of Avilion of the legends; perhaps there was a slight historical nucleus around which all the romantic material was crystallising through the centuries, but the Arthur of romance came largely from the imagination of the early writers. And yet, though our "own ideal knight" may never have trod the soil of Britain or Roman or Saxon England, his chivalrous character and the knightly deeds of his followers are real to us, if we read them rightly, for "the poet's ideal was the truest truth."

THE VOYAGE OF THE ARGO
by Apollonius Rhodius (author), Robert C. Seaton (transl.), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art by Jacopo da Sellaio

About the Book:

The Voyage of the Argo aka The Argonautica; Jason and the Argonauts; Jason and the Golden Fleece, is a Greek epic poem written by Apollonius Rhodius in the 3rd century BC. The only surviving Hellenistic epic, the Argonautica tells the myth of the voyage of Jason and the Argonauts to retrieve the Golden Fleece from remote Colchis.

In the book Apollonius Rhodius reimagines the mythological voyage of Jason and the Argonauts. He blends Homeric tradition with Hellenistic sensibilities, emphasizing individual heroism alongside emotional introspection. Unlike the linear valor of Homeric epics, Argonautica explores themes of love, especially through the complex relationship between Jason and Medea, and the tension between fate and personal agency. The poem also reflects the cultural and intellectual priorities of the Hellenistic age, focusing on nuanced character development, moral ambiguity, and the interplay between human and divine influence.

Thus, The Voyage of the Argo is significant in literary history as a bridge between the epic traditions of Homer and the more personal, character-driven narratives of later Hellenistic and Roman literature, influencing works like Virgil's Aeneid.

THE ISLAND OF DOCTOR MOREAU
by H. G. Wells (author), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art by DerMonkey

About the Book:

The Island of Doctor Moreau is an early example of the mad scientist story. Ranked among the classic novels of the English language and the inspiration for several unforgettable movies, this early work of H. G. Wells was greeted in 1896 by howls of protest from reviewers, who found it horrifying and blasphemous. They wanted to know more about the wondrous possibilities of science shown in his first book, The Time Machine, not its potential for misuse and terror. In The Island of Dr. Moreau, a shipwrecked gentleman named Edward Prendick, stranded on a Pacific island lorded over by the notorious Dr. Moreau, confronts dark secrets, strange creatures, and a reason to run for his life.

THE CASTLE OF OTRANTO
by Horace Walpole (author), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art "The Nightmare" (1781) by Henry Fuseli

About the Book:

The Castle of Otranto is a novel by Horace Walpole. First published in 1764, it is generally regarded as the first gothic novel. In the second edition, Walpole applied the word 'Gothic' to the novel in the subtitle – A Gothic Story. The Castle of Otranto is purported to be a translation of an Italian story of the time of the crusades. In it Walpole attempted, as he declared in the Preface to the Second Edition, "to blend the two kinds of romance: the ancient and the modern." Crammed with invention, entertainment, terror, and pathos, the novel was an immediate success and Walpole's own favorite among his numerous works.

The story unfolds in a mysterious castle where supernatural occurrences intertwine with human tragedy and ambition, centering on the tumultuous life of Manfred, the Prince of Otranto, whose actions stem from an ancient prophecy threatening his lineage.

THE EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD
by E. A. Wallis Budge (author, translation, recension), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art: from Book of the Dead of Hunefer (Hw-nfr) papyrus circa 19th Dynasty

About the Book:

The Book of the Dead is an ancient Egyptian funerary text which was generally written on papyrus and used from the beginning of the New Kingdom to around 50 BCE. The original Egyptian name for the text, transliterated rw nw prt m hrw, is translated as Book of Coming Forth by Day or Book of Emerging Forth into the Light.

In the year 1888, Dr. E. Wallis Budge, then purchasing agent for the British Museum, followed rumors he heard of a spectacular archeological find in Upper Egypt, and found in an 18th Dynasty tomb near Luxor "the largest roll of papyrus I had ever seen, tied with a thick band of papyrus, and in a perfect state of preservation." It was a copy of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, written around 1500 B.C. for Ani, Royal Scribe of Thebes, Overseer of the Granaries of the Lords of Abydos, and Scribe of the Offerings of the Lord of Thebes. This Papyrus of Ani, a full version of the Theban recension, is presented here by Dr. Budge, who later became perhaps the world's most renowned Egyptologist.

'SIDDHARTHA: An Indian Tale'
by Herman Hesse (author), Randy H. Sooknanan & Denise K. McTighe (eds.), Cover Art by D**g Lin

About the Book:

Siddhartha: An Indian Tale is a 1922 novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of self-discovery of a man named Siddhartha during the time of the Gautama Buddha. The book, Hesse's 9th novel, was written in German, in a simple, lyrical style. In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near despair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of his life -- the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace, and, finally, wisdom. Herman Hesse's classic novel has delighted, inspired, and influenced generations of readers, writers, and thinkers. In this story of a wealthy Indian Brahmin who casts off a life of privilege to seek spiritual fulfillment, Hesse synthesizes disparate philosophies--Eastern religions, Jungian archetypes, Western individualism--into a unique vision of life as expressed through one man's search for true meaning.
