No Fist Is Big Enough to Hide the Sky stands as a key text in the history of the eleven-year struggle against Portuguese rule in Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde. Though perhaps less well known than the struggles in Angola and Mozambique, the liberation war waged by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC) easily ranks alongside those conflicts as an example of an African independence movement triumphing against overwhelming odds. Basil Davidson, a leading authority on Portuguese Africa who witnessed many of these events first hand, draws on his own extensive experience in the country as well as the PAIGC archives to provide a detailed and rigorous analysis of the conflict. The book also provides one of the earliest accounts of the assassination of the PAIGC's founder, Amilcar Cabral, and documents the movement's remarkable success in recovering from the death of its leader and in eventually attaining independence. Featuring a preface by Cape Verde's first president, Aristides Pereira, and a foreword by Cabral himself, No Fist is Big Enough to Hide the Sky remains an invaluable resource for the study both of the region and of African liberation struggles as a whole.

'Work: A Story of Experience' is a semi-autobiographical novel by Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, set in the times before and after the American Civil War. It is one of several nineteenth-century novels that show "the changes in women's work in the new industrial era, as well as the dilemmas, tensions, and the meaning of that work".

The Collected Works of Louisa May Alcott (Illustrated Edition) offers a comprehensive collection of the literary works of Louisa May Alcott, one of the most acclaimed American authors of the 19th century. This anthology showcases Alcott's diverse writing style, from her classic novel 'Little Women' to her lesser-known works, encompassing themes of family, love, and social issues. The inclusion of illustrations enhances the reader's experience and brings Alcott's world to life. Alcott's poignant prose and relatable characters make this collection a timeless masterpiece of American literature. Louisa May Alcott's writing is characterized by its authenticity and insight into the human experience. Her deep understanding of interpersonal relationships and societal norms is evident in each of her works, making her a prominent voice in American literature. Alcott's own experiences growing up in Concord, Massachusetts, and her close relationship with her family undoubtedly influenced her writing, providing readers with a glimpse into her personal experiences. I highly recommend The Collected Works of Louisa May Alcott to anyone seeking to explore the depth and beauty of American literature. Alcott's timeless stories will captivate readers of all ages and leave a lasting impression.

Published in 1873, this autobiographical novel has been called the adult Little Women. It follows the semi-autobiographical story of an orphan named Christie Devon, who, having turned twenty-one, announces “a new Declaration of Independence” and leaves her uncle’s house in order to pursue economic self-sufficiency and to find fulfillment in her profession. Against the backdrop of the Civil War years, Christie works as a servant, actress, governess, companion, seamstress, and army nurse—all jobs that Alcott knew from personal experience—exposing the often insidious ways in which the employments conventionally available to women constrain their self-determination. Alcott’s most overtly feminist novel, Work breaks new ground in the literary representation of women, as its heroine pushes at the boundaries of nineteenth-century expectations and assumptions. The novel is supplemented here with all the usual Library of America features, plus a conversation with editor Susan Cheever, and a reading group guide.
