Alive in Their Garden: The True Story of the Mirabal Sisters and Their Fight for Freedom
by Dedé MirabalThe lives and legacy of the iconic Mirabal sisters, as told in an intimate memoir by the sister who survived In 1960, the three sisters Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal, code-named “Las Mariposas” (The Butterflies) by a Dominican underground resistance movement, were assassinated by order of dictator Rafael Trujillo. Alive in Their Garden is the memoir of Dedé Mirabal, their surviving sister, who for decades kept her sisters alive in Dominican memory. This is the first English translation of Dedé’s story, an intimate account of a tragedy and the international outcry that, for many, heralded the fall of the Trujillo dictatorship. In her memoir, Dedé recollects her sisters’ lives and personalities, the optimistic beginning of the 14th of June Revolutionary Movement, and the tragic day of her sisters’ murders. She details the emotionally charged court proceedings that followed and the impact these events had not only on the Mariposas’ children and family but on the world. Along her journey, Dedé grapples with the question, “Why did they not kill you too?” And as time goes on, she comes to recognize her own important role: raising her sisters’ children alongside her own and working to preserve the memory of a generation. This edition features the memoir’s original introduction by Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of the Butterflies, a chronology by historian Bernardo Vega, and an afterword by Minerva’s daughter Minou Tavárez Mirabal. Adding a preface and explanatory notes that orient readers to the Trujillato in the Dominican Republic, translators and editors Ana Martínez and Heather Hennes bring a moving true story and valuable piece of history to new readers.

All Consuming: Germans, Jews, and the Meaning of Meat (Stanford Studies in Jewish History and Culture)
by John M. EfronAn engaging 700-year history of meat at the intersection of German and Jewish culture, uniquely illuminating the rich, fraught, and tragic history of German Jewry. In Judaism, meat is of paramount importance as it constitutes the very focal point of the dietary laws. With an intricate set of codified regulations concerning forbidden and permissible meats, highly prescribed methods of killing, and elaborate rules governing consumption, meat is one of the most visible, and gustatory, markers of Jewish distinctness and social separation. It is an object of tangible, touchable, and tastable difference like no other. In All Consuming, historian John M. Efron focuses on the contested culture of meat and its role in the formation of ethnic identities in Germany. To an extent not seen elsewhere in Europe, Germans have identified, thought about, studied, decried, and gladly eaten meat understood to be "Jewish." Expressions of this engagement are found across the cultural landscape—in literature, sculpture, and visual arts—and evident in legal codes and commercial enterprises. Likewise, Jews in Germany have vigorously defended their meats and the culture and rituals surrounding them by educating Germans and Jews alike about their meaning and relevance. Exploring a cultural history that extends some seven hundred years, from the Middle Ages to today, Efron goes beyond a discussion of dietary laws and ritual slaughter to take a broad view of what meat can tell us about German-Jewish identity and culinary culture, Jewish and Christian religious sensibilities, and religious freedom for minorities in Germany. In so doing, he provides a singular window into the rich, fraught, and ultimately tragic history of German Jewry.

All Eternity Lies Before Me
by Loreen GibbonsA suspense-filled real-life drama perfect for veterans and fans of military dramas alike, the author interweaves her memories as a Navy pilot&’s wife with the tale of what happened to her husband&’s crew after having to ditch their crippled plane in stormy North Pacific waters during the Cold War.Alfa Foxtrot 586, a P-3 Orion turboprop, was conducting a sensitive Cold War mission off the Kamchatka Peninsula on October 26, 1978, when a propeller malfunction turned into four engine fires and the pilot—Loreen Grigsby&’s husband, Jerry—was forced to ditch into remote, mountainous seas churned by a frigid North Pacific storm. The aircraft sank within ninety seconds, taking one of the three rafts with it—which left thirteen men to huddle together in the remaining two rafts, the smaller of which soon began to leak. Told from Loreen&’s perspective as a navy wife at home as well as through the eyes of the men who survived the disaster, All Eternity Lies Before Me weaves a gripping tale of struggle, uncertainty, grief, and heroism. It shares Loreen&’s terror as she receives notifications about her husband&’s crew&’s desperate battle against wind, seas, and biting cold. It details the ad hoc search and rescue mission, a valiant effort to rescue the men before time runs out. And, tragically, it tells how a young Navy wife becomes a widow and single mom. But Jerry&’s death is not the end of Loreen&’s story—and in the years following his loss, she discovers resilience, strength, and even new love with one of the accident survivors, Matt Gibbons. As she begins her journey toward a brighter future, she&’s inspired by the camaraderie and brotherhood forged between the survivors and their rescuers—and ultimately, the long-term lessons learned by all involved become part of the lasting legacy of this event.

All Quiet on the Western Front
by Erich Maria RemarqueThe greatest war novel of all time rendered in a taut, muscular, and urgent new translation. An immediate sensation when it was published in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide since then, making it the best-selling German novel of all time. Its impact is indisputable: it has been adapted for film, television, and other media; has influenced all subsequent works of war literature; and has been taught in high school and college classes ever since. Until now, one translation—published in 1929, and very much a product of its time—has introduced most readers in English to Remarque’s wrenching portrait of the horrors of trench warfare. Now, nearly a century later, renowned translator Kurt Beals recaptures the energy and descriptive force of the German original, rendering Remarque’s distinctly terse, telegraphic prose into a contemporary idiom, conveying for a new generation the immediacy and intensity of this classic novel.
All Quiet on the Western Front (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)
by Erich Maria RemarqueA harrowing and unflinching novel about the brutal reality of World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front starkly contrasts the disillusionment and horror of war with a young German soldier's initial fervor and patriotism. As Paul Bäumer and his comrades grapple with relentless shelling, hunger, and the constant fear of death, their youthful idealism crumbles. Erich Maria Remarque's vivid narrative strips away the glory of war, exposing the senseless violence and loss and the psychological torment endured by a generation of soldiers. Arguably one of the most famous war novels of all the Modern era, this timeless classic presents a scathing critique of nationalism, a devastating indictment of war, and an enduring exploration of what it means to be human under extraordinary duress. The tale is so profoundly moving that it has been adapted into an Oscar-winning cinematic masterpiece not once, but twice.
All Quiet on the Western Front (Signature Editions)
by Erich Maria RemarqueI am young, I am twenty years old; yet I know nothing of life but despair, death, fear, and fatuous superficiality cast over an abyss of sorrow. . . This is the testament of Paul Bäumer, who enlists with his classmates in the German army during World War I. They become soldiers with youthful enthusiasm. But the world of duty, culture, and progress they had been taught breaks in pieces under the first bombardment in the trenches. Through years of vivid horror, Paul holds fast to a single vow: to fight against the principle of hate that meaninglessly pits young men of the same generation but different uniforms against one another . . . if only he can come out of the war alive.
