From the acclaimed author of the classics Shiloh and Other Stories and In Country comes a beautifully crafted and profoundly moving novel which follows a woman as she looks back over her life and her first love.Ann Workman is smart but naïve, a misfit who’s traveled from rural Kentucky to graduate school in the transformative years of the late 1960s. While Ann fervently seeks higher learning, she wants what all girls yearn for—a boyfriend. But not any boy. She wants the “Real Thing,” to be in love with someone who loves her equally. Then Jimmy appears as if by magic. Although he comes from a very different place, upper-middle class suburban Chicago, he is a misfit too, a rebel who rejects his upbringing and questions everything. Ann and Jimmy bond through music and literature and their own quirkiness, diving headfirst into what seems to be a perfect relationship. But with the Vietnam War looming and the country in turmoil, their future is uncertain. Many years later, Ann recalls this time of innocence—and her own obsession with Jimmy—as she faces another life crisis. Seeking escape from her problems, she tries to imagine where she might be if she had chosen differently all those years ago. What if she had gone to Stanford University, as her mentor had urged, instead of a small school on the East Coast? Would she have been caught up in the Summer of Love and its subsequent dark turns? Or would her own good sense have saved her from disaster?Beautifully written and expertly told, Dear Ann is the wrenching story of one woman’s life and the choices she has made. Bobbie Ann Mason captures at once the excitement of youth and the nostalgia of age, and how consideration of the road not taken—the interplay of memory and imagination—can illuminate, and perhaps overtake, our present.

A dashing American journeys to the fictional kingdom of Graustark and finds himself entangled in romance and political intrigue. Amid royal duties and treacherous schemes, love blossoms against all odds. Can honor and love prevail in a world of peril and ambition?Graustark is a captivating tale of romance and adventure set in a fictional European kingdom. George Barr McCutcheon weaves a story of an American traveler swept into a world of royal intrigue, danger, and forbidden love. With its timeless themes of duty, sacrifice, and passion, this classic novel continues to enchant readers who love epic romances and thrilling escapades.The fiction of George Barr McCutcheon (1866-1928) proved so popular in his day that he, along with Anthony Hope, the author of "The Prisoner of Zenda," invented a whole new genre, now called the "Graustarkian novel," a charming product of a more innocent time when the Balkans could be the scene of adventurous romances set in imaginary countries.McCutcheon's Graustark no doubt borders Hope's Ruritania and Avram Davidson's more recent Scythia-Pannonia-Transbalkania. It was a place where an American adventurer could find himself or herself adrift, but rapidly caught up in intrigues, captures and escapes, and the perilously-hinged destiny of (at the very least) a royal throne or two.Graustark is one entry in this best-selling series, which also includes The Prince of Graustark, Truxton King, and Beverly of Graustark.

Ce récit est une exploration dans une région hors du temps, à la pointe nord-est de la France. C'est d'abord une saga familiale, pittoresque et documentée, celle du célèbre braconnier ardennais, Ulysse Raulin ; un acteur de l'histoire devenue une légende bien connue en Ardenne. C'est ensuite un recueil de témoignages de braconniers ardennais, silhouettes du clair-obscur ; des bracos, dits honorables, aux ' yeux de lune '. Eudes du Mesnil de Bagimont va à la rencontre de ces chasseurs nyctalopes, avec ses yeux de poète-conteur, pelleteur de nuages nocturnes, braqués sur des ombres fugitives à l'horizon des fagnes et des sphaignes, des hêtraies-sapinières et des miroirs d'étangs étranges. Ce décor, dans l'empyrée sylvestre, sert en fait à découvrir le vrai personnage du récit : l'Ardenne. L'Ardenne et ses paysages colorés font écho à l'ambivalence des sentiments ressentis à travers le récit mouvementé des grands bracos, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, qui plonge le lecteur au plus profond de ce terroir étonnant, le moins connu en France.
