Blake; or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition (Mint Editions--black Narratives Ser.)
by Martin R. DelanyAn enslaved West Indian man travels the American South searching for his wife and raising a revolt in this classic American alternative history.Martin R. Delany’s Blake (1859, 1861–1862) is one of the most important African American—and indeed American—works of fiction of the nineteenth century. It tells the story of Henry Blake’s escape from a southern plantation and his subsequent travels across the United States, into Canada, and to Africa and Cuba. His mission is to unite the black populations of the American Atlantic regions, both free and slave, in the struggle for freedom, whether through insurrection or through emigration and the creation of an independent black state. Blake is a rhetorical masterpiece, all the more strange and mysterious for remaining incomplete, breaking off before its final scene.This edition of Blake, prepared by textual scholar Jerome McGann, offers the first correct printing of the work in book form. It establishes an accurate text, supplies contextual notes and commentaries, and presents an authoritative account of the work’s composition and publication history. In a lively introduction, McGann argues that Delany employs the resources of fiction to develop a critical account of the interconnected structure of racist power as it operated throughout the American Atlantic. He likens Blake to Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, in its willful determination to transform a living and terrible present.Blake; Or, The Huts of America: A Corrected Edition will be used in undergraduate and graduate classes on the history of African American fiction, on the history of the American novel, and on black cultural studies. General readers will welcome as well the first reliable edition of Delany’s fiction.Praise for Blake; Or, The Huts of America“An American literary classic most Americans have never heard of . . . The actual novel itself is unapologetically didactic, its characters mainly acting as mouthpieces for the author’s polemics—but those polemics possess a startling directness that makes a 21st-century reading of this fully-restored Blake as arresting as its original readers must have found it.” —Steve Donoghue, The Christian Science Monitor“McGann has done a painstaking job of recovering the work, providing scrupulous editing, an excellent introduction, and copious notes that will undoubtedly draw added critical attention to the novel . . . Largely owing to its historical significance, this edition will be of most interest to scholars.” —L. J. Parascandola, Library Journal“This version of Blake is without any doubt an edition to be welcomed, and will be cited as the principal text in the foreseeable future.” —Eric Sundquist, Johns Hopkins University

Nicht nur müssen Blake und Lilo ihren Feinden immer einen Schritt voraus sein, sie müssen auch gegen die knisternde Anziehung, die zwischen ihnen entflammt, ankämpfen. Denn obwohl Lilo im Angesicht all der Gefahren Mut beweist, kann Blake nicht vorhersagen, wie sie reagieren wird, wenn er ihr seine wahre Identität enthüllt ...

Blameless in Abaddon (The Godhead Trilogy, Book #2)
by James MorrowIn Towing Jehovah, the discovery of the two-mile-long corpse of God in the mid- Atlantic proved a serious menace both to navigation and to faith. But was God truly dead, as the nihilists and the New York Times believed? In Blameless in Abaddon, His body--comatose yet far from inert--has been hauled from its temporary resting place in the Arctic to Florida, where it has become the Main Attraction at Orlando's Celestial City USA. And now one Martin Candle, a small-time and sore-afflicted judge practicing in Abaddon Township, Pennsylvania, proposes further travels for the Corpus Deus: to the World Court in The Hague, to answer for history's injustices large and small. In his quest to counter the world's great theodicies, Martin embarks on an astonishing odyssey through the mind of the Creator, where Lot's wife proves a most convenient way of adding salt to a margarita glass, early hominids vigorously debate Augustinian doctrine over jasmine tea, and Martin's alter ego, Job, keeps an eternal vigil atop his dung heap. Once the Trial of the Millennium has begun, Martin will understand why Abaddon is another name for Hell. God hunting simply is not a sport for amateurs.

by James MorrowA New York Times Notable Book: The People vs. God in &“a funny, ferocious fantasy&” from the two-time Nebula Award–winning author (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Hallelujah! God is not dead. He&’s just been a deep-freeze coma in the Arctic. Strapped for cash, the Vatican has sold the body (a bargain at $1.3 billion!) to Baptists in Florida. Enterprising souls that they are, they&’ve turned the Corpus Dei into a popular, two-mile long theme-park attraction at Orlando&’s Celestial City USA—hooked up to the largest life-support system on earth. Then things get weird. Martin Candle, a justice of the peace who&’s suffered a series of devastating setbacks, decides to put Him on trial in The Hague for crimes against humanity. Now, to accumulate evidence for the prosecution, Candle enters God&’s brain on a steamer to find out what in the world the Almighty could possibly have been thinking all these years. What ensues in this sequel to James Morrow&’s World Fantasy Award–winning Towing Jehovah is a &“square off for the greatest moral debate of all time . . . [and it&’s] not to be missed&” (Booklist). &“Surreal . . . dark and powerful.&” —Publishers Weekly &“A wildly imaginative novel . . . as barbed with high and low comedy as an Aristophanes play—and just as fundamentally serious.&” —The Bloomsbury Review &“Hilarious . . . [Morrow] demonstrates a sharp mind, [and] a sharper tongue . . . Salman Rushdie, eat your heart out.&” —The San Diego Union-Tribune

Blandings Castle
by P. G. Wodehouse"I envy those who’ve never read [Wodehouse] before—the prospect of reams of unread Wodehouse stretching out in front of you is…something which is enticing to contemplate." —Tony BlairWelcome to Blandings Castle, home of the well-intentioned but often distracted Lord Emsworth—and there are quite a few distractions at this stately country house. Head gardener Angus McAllister has resigned before the Shrewsbury Agricultural Show, when Emsworth needs him most; Lady Constance, Emsworth’s officious sister, has caged her daughter in the castle to keep her away from the persistent Beefy Bingham; and the Blandings pigman, Wellbeloved, has been sent to prison for drunken and disorderly conduct just days before Emsworth’s adored sow can win first prize at the 87th Annual Shropshire Show. Through P.G. Wodehouse’s expert wit, we witness Lord Emsworth trying to solve these predicaments and others, with the unexpected help (and hindrance) of a lively array of characters.

Blast Off at Woomera
by Hugh WaltersIf the ladder hadn't slipped when Chris Godfrey was chalking up the sports results - and if Sir George Benson hadn't been passing at that very moment - it might never have happened. It had become imperative to fire a conscious human being into space and Sir George, who was Director of Research at Woomera, couldn't see how it was to be done until he met Chris. Once Chris agreed, things moved fast. Whisked to London by the R.A.F., he started his training, was fitted for a G-suit, got to know the landscape of the Moon as well as he knew the school sports ground. Then on to Woomera; and, at last, into space...
