 | The Fields of Athenry by James Charles Roy
James Charles Roy finally moved to Ireland to renovate Moyode Castle, which he had owned for 30 years and which, to say the least, needed work. As he brings the castle back to life and researches its 400-year history, he becomes powerfully aware of Irish history as it was lived in his corner of County Galway, and of its implications on life there in the 21st century.

 | Trial by Breon Mitchell, E. M. Butler, Edwin Muir, Franz Kafka, Geoffrey Howard
Kafka's exploration of the psychological terror inherent in everyday life is both allegorical and stunningly realistic. A bank employee named Joseph K. is accused of a crime he not only did not commit but doesn't even understand. He is released, but thereafter enslaved to a legal system that requires him to continue to go to court to defend his innocence in a case that is never explained, never resolved. Try though he may to take control of the situation, the hero's life, revealed in all its barrenness, disintegrates not only at the bank where he works but in his relationship with a young woman and with his landlady. Finally, in a last absurd twist, he is executed. Kafka expressed the wish that THE TRIAL never be published, but thanks to the intervention of his literary executor, Max Brod, it appeared posthumously. It is considered a classic of modernist literature, an early existential work that has had enormous influence on most serious 20th-century writers. AUTHOR: Breon Mitchell, E. M. Butler, Edwin Muir, Franz Kafka, Geoffrey Howard
