Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Beginning before Noah is born and continuing on until the world is washed clean, Flood is a stunning biblical saga about family and forgiveness in a world filled with pain.

Nearly two thousand years after Adam and Eve eat death into existence, the flavor still echoes in their descendants' tongues. War is sweeping the world from the iron throne of a man who calls himself the God-King. Caught in the crucible is a young family broken by loss and carried along by the prophecies spoken over the infant boy who fits in their hands. Will little Noah grow to be the savior the world needs?

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. At the rock-bottom end of the sport of kings sits the ruthless and often violent world of cheap horse racing, where trainers and jockeys, grooms and hotwalkers, loan sharks and touts are all struggling to take an edge, or prove their luck, or just survive. Equal parts Nathanael West, Damon Runyon and Eudora Welty, Lord of Misrule follows five characters -- scarred and lonely dreamers in the American grain -- through a year and four races at Indian Mound Downs, downriver from Wheeling, West Virginia. Horseman Tommy Hansel has a scheme to rescue his failing stable: He'll ship four unknown but ready horses to Indian Mound Downs, run them in cheap claiming races at long odds, and then gut out fast before anyone notices. The problem is, at this rundown riverfront half-maile racetrack in the Northern Panhandle, everybody notices -- veteran groom Medicine Ed, Kidstuff the blacksmith, old lady gyp Deucey Gifford, stall superintendent Suitcase Smithers, eventually even the ruled-off racetrack financier Two-Tie and the ominous leading trainer, Joe Dale Bigg. But no one bothers to factor in Tommy Hansel's go-fer girlfriend, Maggie Koderer. Like the beautiful, used-up, tragic horses she comes to love, Maggie has just enough heart to wire everyone's flagging hopes back to the source of all luck. €¬‚¬&#128.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. In 1632, the Emperor of Hindustan, Shah Jahan, consumed by grief over the death of his empress, Mumtaz Mahal, ordered the building of a grand mausoleum to symbolize the greatness of their love. Against scenes of unimaginable wealth and power, murderous sibling rivalries, and cruel despotism, Princess Jahanara tells the extraordinary story of how the Taj Mahal came to be, describing her own life as an agent in its creation and as a witness to the fateful events surrounding its completion. To escape a brutal arranged marriage, Jahanara must become the court liaison to Isa, architect of the Taj Mahal. She is soon caught between her duty to her mother's memory, the rigid strictures imposed upon women, and a new, though forbidden, love. With exceptional courage, Jahanara dares to challenge the bigotry and blindness at court in an effort to spare the empire from civil war, and to save her father from his bellicose son, Aurangzeb, a man whose hatred would extinguish the Islamic enlightenme. …

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The Transentients is a bewitching puzzle-box with a propulsive plot that is deeply layered with metaphysical mystery and a complex and original literary work. It tells the story of Tomás Ugarte, a hotshot advertising executive in Santiago who's just turned forty and quit his job and whose wife is divorcing him, in part because she wants children and they can't get pregnant. In the throes of what appears to be a run-of-the-mill midlife crisis, Tomás decides to take a "sabbatical year"; he moves into a bachelor pad, sleeps with a twenty-one-year-old model, and starts making plans to travel to India or Morocco. Strangely disconnected from his own life, he's observing himself from the outside. Quite suddenly, the novel takes a turn, and you realize that you're reading an entirely different, and far more interesting book than you may have initially believed. Tomás has "episodes" in which he imagines he's in the body of someone else. Or is he actually in the body of someone else? Or are they in his body? The first time it happens, he finds himself inside the body and the life of an elderly beggar woman named Inés. Missana's description of Tomás's experience living (and dying) in Inés's body -- how tiring even to cross the street, much less the physically horrific things Inés endures living on the streets -- is harrowing. As the story progresses, Tomás undergoes more episodes of transentience; there are white-knuckle descriptions of Tomás as a mountaineer in a lethal blizzard in the Andes, and then as a screenwriter on a road trip to Chile's stark northern Atacama Desert, where a ghost town film set suddenly appears like a mirage. Tomás grows increasingly desperate to know what's happening to him. Who are these people he keeps inhabiting, and why? How do their lives and their deaths and their stories connect to one another and Tomás? Missana answers these questions and ties these threads by means of narrative wizardry evoking Fowles or Chekhov. The ending is both unexpected and deeply moving.…
