Shirley Jackson wurde 1916 in Kalifornien geboren. Als der New Yorker 1948 ihre Kurzgeschichte ?The Lottery? veröffentlichte, waren viele Leser so entsetzt, dass sie ihre Abonnements kündigten und Hassbriefe sendeten. The Union of South Africa verbot die Veröffentlichung dieser Geschichte sogar. Inzwischen gilt sie als eine der berühmtesten Erzählungen Amerikas. Ihre dunklen, brillanten Romane haben viele Autoren beeinflusst. The Haunting of Hill House und We Have Always Lived in the Castle sind ihre Meisterwerke. Shirley Jackson starb 1965. Stephen King: »The Haunting of Hill House ist einer der wirklich großen, unheimlichen Romane der vergangenen hundert Jahre.«

O clássico de Henry David Thoreau, publicado em 1854: um manifesto a favor da natureza e da liberdade. Edição especial, com ilustrações de Deco Farkas, prefácio de Joyce Carol Oates e nota biográfica escrita por Virginia Woolf. Inclui o ensaio "Sobre o dever da desobediência civil". Em conflito com as mudanças trazidas pela Revolução Industrial – na sociedade, na cultura e na relação do homem com o trabalho e a natureza – e inspirado pela filosofia oriental do confucionismo, Thoreau abandona a cidade e retira-se para a floresta. Lá, às margens do lago Walden, constrói uma cabana e todos os móveis com as próprias mãos, passando a viver com o mínimo necessário para sua sobrevivência e em intenso contato com o meio natural. A obra de Thoreau – em especial, Walden ou a vida nos bosques e o ensaio "Sobre a desobediência civil", ambos presentes nesta edição – tem sido referência fundamental a diversos pensadores e movimentos dos séculos XIX, XX e XXI, como Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, o movimento artístico beat, a filosofia hippie das décadas de 1960-70 e as principais correntes de luta pela ecologia e pela preservação do meio ambiente das últimas décadas.

Many kids write stories, but only a few of them grow up to be successful authors. Before there was Carrie, there was " Johnathan and the Witchs." And before there was Rabbit Angstrom, Toyota dealer, there was Manuel Cirarro, famous detective. Could we have seen the seeds of success in Stephen King's and John Updike's juvenilia? These young writers are the same people who dominated the best seller lists and occupy the most celebrated spots on bookshelves in our stores, libraries, and homes. Here is a funny and surprisingly informative gathering of childhood creations by celebrated writers— authors who were amused by and happy to share their own early efforts.

William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature". His novels include The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), the latter of which has often been called the "Great American Novel". Mark Twain, was an American writer, humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer. He was lauded as the "greatest humorist the United States has produced". A complete bibliography of Twain's works is nearly impossible to compile because of the vast number of pieces he wrote (often in obscure newspapers) and his use of several different pen names. Additionally, a large portion of his speeches and lectures have been lost or were not recorded; thus, the compilation of Twain's works is an ongoing process. Researchers rediscovered published material as recently as 1995 and 2015. A gifted raconteur, distinctive humorist, and irascible moralist, he transcended the apparent limitations of his origins to become a popular public figure and one of America's best and most beloved writers.
