A single fatal brawl sends events spiraling beyond anyone's control, and a desperate plan to keep them together sets in motion one of literature's most famous tragedies.\n\nWilliam Shakespeare's tragedy of \"star-crossed lovers\" remains the definitive story of young love thwarted by hatred, chance, and haste — a play whose language, characters, and heartbreak have shaped how the Western world imagines romance for more than four centuries.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz6s5j7x45h1rw02tte2mvz.jpg","LdJHgSf6xtoe~VWCV@ay?aayRjfj",1949,"3.88",107,[153],{"id":154,"slug":155,"name":156},"01kjq7eyjb5ehy0zsfypwhbrqj","william-shakespeare-ys9o","William Shakespeare",[158,162,163,167,171,175,178,182],{"id":159,"name":160,"slug":161,"is_fiction":16},14,"Plays","plays",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},{"id":164,"name":165,"slug":166,"is_fiction":17},92,"Science","science",{"id":168,"name":169,"slug":170,"is_fiction":16},15,"Drama","drama",{"id":172,"name":173,"slug":174,"is_fiction":16},58,"Classics","classics",{"id":125,"name":176,"slug":177,"is_fiction":16},"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":16},4,"Romance","romance",{"id":183,"name":184,"slug":185,"is_fiction":16},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",[],{"pace":188,"complexity":7,"audience":189,"mood":190,"themes":193,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"fast","young_adult",[191,192],"romantic","melancholic",[194,195],"forbidden-love","betrayal",{"id":197,"slug":198,"title":199,"description":200,"primary_cover_url":201,"cover_blurhash":202,"first_publish_year":203,"community_rating_avg":204,"community_rating_count":205,"page_count":206,"authors":207,"genres":212,"series":227,"enrichment":228},"01kjq7sa2nzt8x6wgmy2asmet0","crime-and-punishment-km6m","Crime and Punishment","Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (1866) is one of the towering achievements of Russian literature — a claustrophobic psychological drama set in the sweltering slums of St. Petersburg.\n\nRodion Raskolnikov, a destitute former student, has convinced himself that certain extraordinary men stand above conventional morality and are permitted to commit crimes in service of a greater good. To test the theory, he murders a rapacious old pawnbroker. But the deed does not liberate him; instead it plunges him into a fever of guilt, paranoia, and self-loathing, hunted less by the police than by his own conscience.\n\nAs the shrewd investigator Porfiry Petrovich circles ever closer and the devout, long-suffering Sonya offers a path toward confession and redemption, Dostoevsky builds an unbearably intimate portrait of a mind at war with itself. A foundational work of psychological fiction, it remains a searching meditation on guilt, free will, suffering, and the possibility of moral rebirth.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjq7sa63n7s9pw8c7r57xavv.jpg","LIM~Lmr@^PkWysS15kr=00wJq]s9",1866,"4.42",6,442,[208],{"id":209,"slug":210,"name":211},"01kjq7sa2qtzn21cnchnhn8yxm","fedor-mixailovic-dostoevskii-xtfh","Fyodor Dostoyevsky",[213,216,217,218,222,223],{"id":205,"name":214,"slug":215,"is_fiction":16},"Mystery","mystery",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},{"id":125,"name":176,"slug":177,"is_fiction":16},{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":16},44,"Crime","crime",{"id":172,"name":173,"slug":174,"is_fiction":16},{"id":224,"name":225,"slug":226,"is_fiction":16},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":229,"complexity":7,"audience":230,"mood":231,"themes":235,"setting_period":7,"summary":238,"content_warnings":7},"slow","adult",[232,233,234],"dark","tense","thought-provoking",[236,237],"morally-grey","unreliable-narrator","A destitute, brilliant former law student in St. Petersburg murders a pawnbroker to test his theory that extraordinary men are above the moral laws governing ordinary people — and is then consumed by paranoia as he tries to outmaneuver both the police and his own conscience.",{"id":240,"slug":241,"title":242,"description":243,"primary_cover_url":244,"cover_blurhash":245,"first_publish_year":246,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":247,"authors":248,"genres":253,"series":276,"enrichment":277},"01kjv3zr2062dk72dz629g9750","alan-turing-d1pc","Alan Turing","A definitive biography of Alan Turing, the mathematician and cryptanalyst whose work at Bletchley Park during World War II helped crack the Enigma code and lay the foundations for modern computer science.

But when her mother asks her to handle the sale of Connie's grandmother's abandoned home near Salem, she can't refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie discovers an ancient key within a seventeenth-century Bible. The key contains a yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest--to find out who this woman was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages a secret repository for lost knowledge. As the pieces of Deliverance's harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she is more tied to Salem's dark past then she could have ever imagined. Written with astonishing conviction and grace, *The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane* travels seamlessly between the witch trials of the 1690s and a modern woman's story of mystery, intrigue, and revelation.

As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets--among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident--people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children. Strangers in Their Own Land goes beyond the commonplace liberal idea that these are people who have been duped into voting against their own interests. Instead, Hochschild finds lives ripped apart by stagnant wages, a loss of home, an elusive American dream--and political choices and views that make sense in the context of their lives. Hochschild draws on her expert knowledge of the sociology of emotion to help us understand what it feels like to live in \"red\" America. Along the way she finds answers to one of the crucial questions of contemporary American politics: why do the people who would seem to benefit most from \"liberal\" government intervention abhor the very idea?\"--","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01knpxdkj61pjf2d20q5t5wtrj.jpg","LYQJWMxuxut7_NWBt7j[o#WBWBfR",2016,368,[509],{"id":510,"slug":511,"name":512},"01knpxdkhwpsmsprmh278vm6q3","arlie-russell-hochschild-4dxr","Arlie Russell Hochschild",[514,515,516,520],{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},{"id":485,"name":486,"slug":487,"is_fiction":17},{"id":517,"name":518,"slug":519,"is_fiction":17},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":521,"name":522,"slug":523,"is_fiction":17},83,"Sociology","sociology",[],{"pace":309,"complexity":7,"audience":230,"mood":526,"themes":528,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[234,527],"reflective",[],[530,665],{"key":531,"params":532,"works":533},"genre_year",{"genre":41,"year":8},[534,546,577,599,624,645],{"id":403,"slug":404,"title":405,"description":406,"primary_cover_url":407,"cover_blurhash":408,"first_publish_year":409,"community_rating_avg":410,"community_rating_count":379,"page_count":411,"authors":535,"genres":537,"series":541,"enrichment":543},[536],{"id":414,"slug":415,"name":416},[538,539,540],{"id":219,"name":220,"slug":221,"is_fiction":16},{"id":205,"name":214,"slug":215,"is_fiction":16},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},[542],{"id":423,"slug":424,"name":425,"position":426,"is_main_entry":16,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},{"pace":188,"complexity":7,"audience":230,"mood":544,"themes":545,"setting_period":7,"summary":406,"content_warnings":7},[232,233],[430,431],{"id":547,"slug":548,"title":549,"description":550,"primary_cover_url":551,"cover_blurhash":552,"first_publish_year":553,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":12,"page_count":554,"authors":555,"genres":560,"series":572,"enrichment":573},"01kk2bwnt93qxyf28tj5scfyqe","reconstruction-klgj","Reconstruction","A definitive account of Reconstruction—the period after the American Civil War when the defeated Southern states were reintegrated into the Union and millions of formerly enslaved people fought for citizenship, land, and political power.

The first followers of Jesus focused not upon his life and destiny, but on the social experiment called for by his teachings. Their book collected his proverbs, aphorisms, and parables to offer instruction in living authentically in the midst of a most confusing time.\" \"In The Lost Gospel, Burton Mack puts forth the first popular translation of Q as scholarly consensus has reconstructed it; shows that Jesus' life story as presented in the New Testament gospels was fictionalized for theological purposes; reveals Jesus to be a countercultural teacher and leader - subsequently mythologized into the Christ of the New Testament; depicts Jesus' followers not as Christians, but as disciples of a wise, antiestablishment teacher; they did not believe him to be the son of God, believe that he rose from the dead, or gather to worship in his name and concludes that Christianity is a mythologized religion (like Buddhism and other religions) rooted in a historical figure and teachings that in reality are quite remote from conventional beliefs.\"--Jacket.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2kvtc4rvmkepgyx0e012m9.jpg?v=e8bca37700","LKI2[%~8R7I=tP-TxDafEgnjNday",1993,"4.00",[587],{"id":588,"slug":589,"name":590},"01kx2kvtav2fh4xjp3f7kx2pf6","burton-l-mack-ndbt","Burton L.

Operating in Chicago's notorious Levee district at the dawn of the last century, the Club's proprietors, two aristocratic sisters named Minna and Ada Everleigh, welcomed moguls and actors, senators and athletes, foreign dignitaries and literary icons, into their stately double mansion, where thirty stunning Everleigh \"butterflies\" awaited their arrival. Courtesans named Doll, Suzy Poon Tang, and Brick Top devoured raw meat to the delight of Prince Henry of Prussia and recited poetry for Theodore Dreiser. Whereas lesser madams pocketed most of a harlot's earnings and kept a \"whipper\" on staff to mete out discipline, the Everleighs made sure their girls dined on gourmet food, were examined by an honest physician, and even tutored in the literature of Balzac.Not everyone appreciated the sisters' attempts to elevate the industry. Rival Levee madams hatched numerous schemes to ruin the Everleighs, including an attempt to frame them for the death of department store heir Marshall Field, Jr. But the sisters' most daunting foes were the Progressive Era reformers, who sent the entire country into a frenzy with lurid tales of \"white slavery\"--the allegedly rampant practice of kidnapping young girls and forcing them into brothels. This furor shaped America's sexual culture and had repercussions all the way to the White House, including the formation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.With a cast of characters that includes Jack Johnson, John Barrymore, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., William Howard Taft, \"Hinky Dink\" Kenna, and Al Capone, Sin in the Second City is Karen Abbott's colorful, nuanced portrait of the iconic Everleigh sisters, their world-famous Club, and the perennial clash between our nation's hedonistic impulses and Puritanical roots. Culminating in a dramatic last stand between brothel keepers and crusading reformers, Sin in the Second City offers a vivid snapshot of America's journey from Victorian-era propriety to twentieth-century modernity.Visit www.sininthesecondcity.com to learn more!Praise for Sin in the Second City:\"Assiduously researched...

In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom.

Geshiere explores why modern techniques and commodities, usually of Western Provenance, have become central in rumors of the occult.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26p9xjf4zd9788rgc84ngz.jpg?v=368ad55854","L5CPV9?^8wKi0Nt7ozjZ00D%?bV@",311,[769],{"id":770,"slug":771,"name":772},"01kx26p9xdtr875q86dc85wq6r","peter-geschiere-dwaw","Peter Geschiere",[774,775],{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},{"id":296,"name":297,"slug":298,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":229,"complexity":7,"audience":230,"mood":778,"themes":779,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[311,232],[],{"id":433,"slug":434,"title":435,"description":436,"primary_cover_url":437,"cover_blurhash":438,"first_publish_year":439,"community_rating_avg":378,"community_rating_count":379,"page_count":440,"authors":781,"genres":783,"series":786,"enrichment":787},[782],{"id":443,"slug":444,"name":445},[784,785],{"id":448,"name":449,"slug":450,"is_fiction":16},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":17},[],{"pace":309,"complexity":7,"audience":230,"mood":788,"themes":789,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[455,232],[],[]]
