 | Where Angels Fear to Tread by E. M. Forster, Flo Gibson
The domineering Mrs. Herriton dispatches her son Philip and her daughter Harriet to Italy to bring back the baby born of her deceased son's wife Lilia and an Italian named Gino. Lilia's former chaperone, Caroline, goes with them, hoping to adopt the baby to atone for her laxness in letting Lilia get mixed up with Gino in the first place. Unexpectedly opposed by Gino, who turns out to be a devoted father, each member of this trio responds to Italy in his or her own way. The prim Harriet is shocked by the Italians; Philip and Caroline respond joyfully to their zest for life and freedom. The disputed baby meets a sad end, Harriet remains as ever, but Philip and Caroline return to England changed, renewed, and with a greater appreciation for the spiritual. AUTHOR: E. M. Forster, Flo Gibson

 | Cosmos & Pornografia by Witold Gombrowicz
Here are two major works by the famed Polish novelist and dramatist Witold Gombrowicz. The first, Cosmos, a metaphysical thriller, revolves around an absurd investigation. It is set in provincial Poland and narrated by a seedy, pathetic, and witty student, who is charming and appalling by turns, and whose voice is dense with the richly palpable description that characterizes Gombrowicz's writing. Cosmos won the International Prize for Literature in 1967. Pornografia explores the sinister effect the young can have on the old. Set in the heart of the Polish countryside during the German occupation, it is concerned with the shattering change made in the lives of two aging intellectuals. A boy and a girl, drawn together by a physical attraction they never openly admit, excite the imagination of the two older men. To serve their own secret eroticism, the men encourage the couple to commit murder. Although the adolescents are the weapons used to commit the crime, the four become conspirators before the deed is done. AUTHOR: Witold Gombrowicz
