 | Gone With the Wind by Linda Stephens, Margaret Mitchell
Published in 1936, GONE WITH THE WIND sold 50,000 copies on its first day, and two million after a year. Even though it is 1,037 pages long, readers all over the world snatched up the book; by 1937 it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize and the movie rights had been sold to David O. Selznick. Mitchell prided herself on the historical accuracy of her work, and--despite its melodramatic plot and somewhat two-dimensional supporting characters--GONE WITH THE WIND is a sweeping account of how the Civil War tore apart an entire way of life, and Scarlett O`Hara is one of the most enduring characters in American fiction.

Seals In The Wild
Fred Bruemmer
Hardcover
1998
Key Porter
Fred Bruemmer has studied and photographed seals for more than 35 years, and he chronicles the joys of that long relationship in this lavishly illustrated volume. His stunning photographs have recorded seals all over the world-ranging from Australia to the Atlantic Ocean to southern Africa-as they nurse, feed, and protect their young. Bruemmer has even captured such rare species as the six-ton southern elephant seal and the elegant, 120-pound Baikal seal- found only in the Siberian Lake from which it takes its name. Wonderous and heartbreaking, Seals In The Wild, is an invaluable document of this battered but beautiful species.

Maria Barbella was an Italian immigrant to the U.S. and a seamstress who worked in a sweatshop. Her lover, Domenico Cataldo, promised her marriage and an escape from factory life. When she left her family for him, however, Cataldo rejected her; betrayed and furious, Barbella slit his throat. She was the first woman sentenced to the electric chair, then only recently invented. Convicted of murder, sentenced to die, she awaited a retrial as her defenders rallied an appeal. She was aquitted in the second trial. This exploration of the events, written a hundred years after the fact, is amplified by the author's own history: her grandmother was one of Barbella's advocates. AUTHOR: Idanna Pucci, Stefania Fumo
