"Before William Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in Literature, he was the author of Soldiers' Pay, his first novel, published in 1926. Not as well known as his later works, Soldiers' Pay ventured into territory that would have been relatable for the era. World War I was wrapped up years earlier, but the wounds from that war, both physically and mentally, still festered. The consequences on families and relationships were enduring. Moreover, service in the military during wartime could leave one cynical and jaded. As there have been many wars since WWI, the themes Faulkner threaded between dysfunctional romances in Soldiers' Pay are ones that continue to resonate to this day"--

Considered one of the greatest literary achievements of the 19th century, The Death of Ivan Ilyitch by Leo Tolstoy rocks the reader out of his smug self-assurance that he is 'living as he ought.' Having accomplished this, the next question is raised: "If I certainly know that I have not lived as I have ought, and I certainly know that I will die tomorrow, with no time to make amends, what possible hope for me is left?" Astute readers will understand that we are all Ivan. His dilemma is our own. A Russian author, Tolstoy published The Death of Ivan Ilyitch in 1886. This edition of the novella carefully re-creates the 1902 translation by Constance Garnett, which was the primary avenue by which this masterpiece became known to the English-speaking world for many decades.

"Behold, the very first appearance of Cthulhu in Lovecraft's literature! Published in 1928 in "Weird Tales" magazine, comes The Call of Cthulhu, wherein H. P. Lovecraft throws down the gauntlet in the horror genre, drawing forth from his dreams and imagination all the dark things. The Cthulhu 'myth' would take on a life of its own, as so many 'myths' do. In this way, the myth declares that it is singularly alive--true, it lives only in the minds of men, but such myths leap over generations and grow into their own thing. Readers then encounter the myth rather than create it, even as the myth's existence depends on readers encountering it. It would not do justice to Lovecraft's storytelling to attempt to explain what the various parts The Call of Cthulhu might represent, especially as the narrative unfolded into later works. Indeed, Lovecraft himself likely wouldn't have tried. Some things are just better that way."--

These stories follow the adventures of a man raised by apes in the jungle, with themes such as Tarzan struggling to find his identity, racial superiority, and nature versus nurture. Along with his Tarzan stories, Burroughs is known for his speculative fiction and planetary worlds and is considered one of the most influential writers in history due to the fact that his science fiction inspired the real-life exploration of Mars. Burroughs inspired many important figures in the literature world, such as Rudyard Kipling and his "Jungle Books," as well as James Edwin Gunn, who won the Huge Award for his science fiction. The Return of Tarzan picks up soon after the first novel, where Tarzan is feels homesick after leaving the jungle to wed his lover, Jane Porter. Tarzan ventures out to Europe to visit his friend, Paul d'Arnot, but while on the ship Tarzan gets wrapped up in a whole new adventure. Tarzan meets Countess Olga de Coude and her husband, Count Raoul de Coude, who are being watched by a man named Rokoff. When Tarzan saves the Countess and her husband from Rokoff's evil schemes, Tarzan makes new enemies that he can't escape even after arriving in France. These enemies chase him all the way to a lost city found in the jungle, where a whole new civilization is found. With Rokoff dead set on eliminating Tarzan, the ape man must use who he is, in the jungle and out of it, to get back to Jane and her father alive. The Return of Tarzan is full of excitement and adventure with Burroughs' imaginative writing and the sweet romance between two humans from two vastly different worlds. "The Return of Tarzan" is a sequel that cannot be passed up.

The story of the ape man, Tarzan, is fearless, fantastical, and a classic read.

Along with Tarzan, Burroughs wrote science fiction and fantasy stories that influenced the work of literary geniuses like Rudyard Kipling and James Edwin Gunn. Scholars and readers alike note the critical themes in his work, such as racial superiority, escapism, and the debate on nature versus nurture. The Beasts of Tarzan is Burroughs' third novel in the series and begins a year after the previous installment. By now, Tarzan, known as Lord Greystoke, and Jane have had a son named Jack and are settled in civilized London. Their seemingly perfect life is interrupted, however, by Tarzan's enemies reappearing.
