Doctor Glas
Soderberg, Hjalmar
(Paperback)
List Price: $12.00 Our Price: $5.19
Championed by Margaret Atwood in the lead essay of Anchor Books' Lost Classics, Doctor Glas is a Scandinavian masterpiece first published in 1905 - and unavailable in English for over thirty years - that brilliantly juxtaposes impressions of fin-de-siecle Stockholm against the psychological landscape of a physician confronting a chilling moral quandary. The lonely, introspective Doctor Glas has long felt an instinctive hostility toward the odious local minister. So when the minister's beautiful wife complains to him of her husband's oppressive sexual attentions, Doctor Glas finds himself contemplating murder. Stark, brooding, and enormously controversial when first published, Doctor Glas is a novel of gripping psychological intensity.

The Handmaid's Tale
Atwood, Margaret
(Paperback)
List Price: $14.95 Our Price: $5.49
In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate "Handmaids" under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the "time before" and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.
Oryx and Crake
Atwood, Margaret
(Paperback)
List Price: $20.00 Our Price: $8.09
For readers of Oryx and Crake, nothing will ever look the same again. The narrator of Atwood's riveting novel calls himself Snowman. When the story opens, he is sleeping in a tree, wearing an old bedsheet, mourning the loss of his beloved Oryx and his best friend Crake, and slowly starving to death. He searches for supplies in a wasteland where insects proliferate and pigoons and wolvogs ravage the pleeblands, where ordinary people once lived, and the Compounds that sheltered the extraordinary. As he tries to piece together what has taken place, the narrative shifts to decades earlier. How did everything fall apart so quickly? Why is he left with nothing but his haunting memories? Alone except for the green-eyed Children of Crake, who think of him as a kind of monster, he explores the answers to these questions in the double journey he takes - into his own past, and back to Crake's high-tech bubble-dome, where the Paradice Project unfolded and the world came to grief.
