In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs—yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.

First published in 1933, "The Shape of Things to Come" is science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells. Within it, world events between 1933 and 2106 are speculated with a single superstate representing the solution to all humanity's problems. A classic example of Wellsian prophesy, this volume is highly recommended for fans of his work and of the science fiction genre. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

ISBN: 9780999746196

Poetry. In this wry, intimate, and heartbreaking collection, Chris Hayes records the exact weight of generational trauma, mental and physical illness, addiction, marital alienation, self alienation: that is, all the general malfuckery that comes with living in bodies that often refuse to cooperate with what we want or whatever we've promised others. What makes this examination of ordinary American dysfunction extraordinary is Hayes's positively dazzling way with language. The poems here are as carefully constructed as the finest bespoke suit, and yet they retain a musical ease and integrity of line that reveal a poet who's expertly sure of his craft. Hayes's sense of personal authenticity, philosophical maturity, and literary intelligence here are anything but ordinary. A stunning collection of poems.--Erin Belieu
