This is a translation of three medieval tales. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values. Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a debate on much less tangible matters. Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the original.

"Sister Carrie" was first printed in 1900 but publication was effectively held up until 1912 because its realism and supposed immorality were judged likely to give offence. Theodore Dreiser intertwined his narrative of a young woman seduced by the lure of the modern city with the counter-narrative of a middle-aged man seduced by desire for Carrie herself. This eminently American story of rags to riches is balanced between Carrie Meeber`s rise to stardom in the theatre and George Hurstwood`s slow decline. The twin poles of exuberance and exhaustion in American life are captured as never before. The premier example of American naturalism, "Sister Carrie" has deeply influenced a number of writers, from William Faulkner and F. Scott...

The Pants first came to us at the perfect moment. That is, when we were splitting up for the first time. It was two summers ago when they first worked their magic, and last summer when they shook up our lives once again. You see, we don`t wear the Pants year-round. We let them rest so they are extra powerful when summer comes. (There was the time this spring when Carmen wore them to her mom`s wedding, but that was a special case.) Now we`re facing our last summer together. In September we go to college. And it`s not like one of those TV shows where all of us magically turn up at the same college. We`re going to four different colleges in four different cities (but all within four hours of one another - that was our one rule). We`re...
