|  | One Man's Meat by E. B. White, Roger Angell
First published in 1942, One Man's Meat has been in print almost without interruption. Now these classic essays on Maine life have come home to roost with a Maine publisher. E. B. White began this collection as a series of pieces for Harper's Magazine when he left New York City and moved to a saltwater farm in Brooklin, Maine. His observations on town meetings, poultry, the weather, songbirds, compost, taxes, war, winter, and much more will resonate just as strongly today -- to anyone attuned to Maine life -- as they did half a century ago.

 | Northland Stories by Jack London, Jonathan Auerbach
The stories in this collection were selected from three volumes published by Jack London between 1900 and 1902 and draw on his experiences during the Klondike Gold Rush of I897. Despite their superficial resemblance to the popular dime novels of that era, with their stereotypical characters and plots, London's stories explore deeper psychological and social questions of self-mastery, masculinity, and racial domination.

Joan Castleman is 64, and she wants to leave her husband, an award-winning novelist. As she ponders her decision, she reflects on their years together, during which he has been an unfaithful husband, a decent father, and--it is gradually revealed--something else as well. Joan must decide whether to make this fact public and preserve his reputation, or reveal it and ruin his life. Then fate intervenes in the form of a coronary, changing the equation.
