LITERATURE

The Art of Love

OvidNewly Translated and Introduced by Stanley Appelbaum

How to win a woman and how to keep her. How to attract a man and keep him interested. How to get over a love gone wrong. Human nature hasn’t changed much over the past 2,000 years, and this new translation constitutes a fresh, accessible approach to the Roman poet’s witty guide to seduction — a classic that became the model for nearly every latter-day book on roman-tic advice. Includes 12 pages of vintage artwork from a 1930s edition.

The Chronicles

of Clovis

Stories by Saki

Saki

Renowned for his witty dialogue and macabre humor, Saki skewered the pre-tensions and folly of Edwardian society. This 1911 collection of well-plotted, acer-bic short stories showcases his mastery of comic repartee. The tales recount the escapades of an irreverent socialite, Clovis Sangrail — a forerunner to the aristocratic Bertie Wooster of Jeeves fame. Saki’s satires remain remarkably contem-porary, offering paradoxical combinations of good-natured irony and cheerful cru-elty. Introduction by A. A. Milne.

What Would

Jesus Do?

Charles M. Sheldon

This is the inspirational novel that popularized the expres-sion, “What would Jesus do?” Author Charles M. Sheldon, a Congregational minister, preached popular sermons on this theme. His philosophy derived from the late 19th century Social Gospel move-ment within Protestantism, a crusade that focused on applying Christian ethics to problems such as injustice, crime, poverty, and other social issues. Originally published in 1897, this work continues to speak to modern readers.

These six essays, drawn from Parerga and posthumously published works, include observations on government, free will and fatalism, character, moral instinct, and ethics.
