“No one writes better or more stirringly about the way books shape a reader’s identity and about the way that talking books with

good friends becomes integral to how we understand the books, our friends, and ourselves.” —L A U R A M I L L E R , Salon

A zar Nafisi’s bestseller Reading Lolita in Tehran ended with her

arrival in America with her young family, carrying little more

than the beloved books that helped her survive in revolutionary Iran. The

Republic of Imagination gives us the next chapter in Azar’s journey, as she

settles into her new life as a teacher in Washington, DC, and wonders

what it means to become an American citizen. She turns for an answer

to the writings of the Founding Fathers and to her favorite American

novels—beginning with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

The best novels, Azar reminds us, can transport us across time and

space, picking us up and plunking us down in a radically unfamiliar world,

like Dorothy in the Land of Oz. But they are not just a means of escape.

Through books, we learn to step into other people’s shoes and to imagine

ourselves confronting difficult choices. In this passionately argued and

deeply personal book Azar challenges us to find in fiction the inspiration—

and the courage—to lead a more meaningful life.

“Captivating . . . Animated by an electrifying intelligence and a generosity that is nothing short of uplifting . . . Nafisi links

the freedom of imagination that unites all readers to the founding ideals of our country.” —The Boston Globe

H ERMAN MELV ILLEBilly Budd, Bartleby, and Other StoriesINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY PETER COVIELLO

This new edition of Melville’s virtuosic short stories has been updated with new com-mentary by American literature professor Peter Coviello, whose insightful introduction explores how Melville’s stories cut to the heart of race, class, capitalism, and globalism in America, forging relevant ties to contemporary political and social issues. This edition also features the Reading Text of Billy Budd, Sailor, as edited from a genetic study of the manuscript by Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr., and the full authoritative Northwestern-Newberry text of The Piazza Tales. PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 368 PAGES • 978-0-14-310760-6 • $11.00

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNEThe Scarlet LetterFOREWORD BY TOM PERROTTA; INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT MILDERNOTES BY THOMAS E. CONNOLLY

The text of this edition of The Scarlet Letter, approved by the Center for Scholarly Edi-tions of the Modern Language Association, is the result of an exhaustive examination of Hawthorne’s manuscript and other historical records. Robert Milder provides an enlightening new bibliography and introduction that reflects contemporary trends in Hawthorne scholarship and embraces the novel’s moral complexity. Tom Perrotta, whose novel The Leftovers was influenced by Hawthorne’s work, provides a thoughtful foreword on how he came to appreciate Hawthorne’s masterpiece.PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 288 PAGES • 978-0-14-310766-8 • $8.00

FREDER ICK DOUGLASSThe Portable Frederick DouglassEDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN STAUFFER AND HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR.

This newly edited collection of the seminal writings and speeches of the legendary civil rights leader features Douglass’s full range, from autobiographical writings that span from his life as a slave child to his memories of slavery as an elder statesman in the late 1870s; his protest fiction; his oratory, constituting the Civil War speeches that launched his political career; and his journalistic essays that cover everything from cultural and political critique to art, literature, law, history, philosophy, and reform. This edition also features writings published for the first time, including Douglass’s piece on Toussaint L’Overture, as well as a new introduction by John Stauffer, a leading expert on 19th-century American history and literature.

WASHINGTON IRV INGThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other StoriesINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY ELIZABETH L. BRADLEY

Originally published as The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., this collection of tales features Irving’s best-known literary inventions: Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horse-man, and Rip Van Winkle. These larger-than-life stories and characters gave America its own haunted mythology and continue to capture imaginations today. Features an introduction and notes by Elizabeth L. Bradley, literary consultant to Historic Hudson Valley, the caretakers of Sunnyside—Irving’s Tarrytown, New York, home. PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 400 PAGES • 978-0-14-310753-8 • $11.00

THOMAS L IGOTT ISongs of a Dead Dreamer and GrimscribeFOREWORD BY JEFF VANDERMEER

Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror. In his debut col-lection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, he takes on decaying cities, lurid dreamscapes, and the madness of the human condition. “Ligotti, winner of three Bram Stoker Awards, is one of our finest writers of short horror, and this volume, reprinting his first two collections (1985, 1991), is an excellent intro-duction to the sustained...dread that is his universe.”—The New York Times Book Review“Ligotti is a brilliant prose stylist whose immersive gothic fictions make most horror stories seem as harmless as wind-up toys.”—The Seattle TimesPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 464 PAGES • 978-0-14-310776-7 • $17.00

CHARLES BEAUMONTPerchance to Dream: Selected StoriesFOREWORD BY RAY BRADBURY; AFTERWORD BY WILLIAM SHATNER

This original selection contains Beaumont’s finest short stories, including seven he adapted for Twilight Zone episodes. With impressive narrative feats and eccentric humor, Beaumont transforms nightmares and reveries into genre-crossing tales that borrow ef-fortlessly from horror, noir, supernatural, sci-fi, fantasy, and pulp traditions. “This fresh collection of Beaumont’s weird fiction is rife with fantastical tropes and twist endings….Beaumont challenges perception, norms, and our smug reliance on appear-ances, using supernatural and science-fictional elements to drive home his points….[His] imagination, as Perchance to Dream amply shows, was more than most writer’s enjoy in the longest of lifetimes.”—NPR.orgPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 336 PAGES • 978-0-14-310765-1 • $16.00

RAY RUSSELLThe Case Against SatanFOREWORD BY LAIRD BARRON

“With gripping clarity and incisive wit, Russell weaves a suspenseful plot that’s more of an intellectual thriller than a horror yarn. And at a time when there are still massive ideological battles being waged between science and religion…The Case Against Satan retains its harrowing, relevant edge.”—NPR.org“A predecessor of many famous fictions involving exorcisms, a subject all but forgotten at the time. This book began a sub-genre of literature and is arguably its finest example… full of careful nuance, yet free from weighty judgments.”—Portland Book ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 160 PAGES • 978-0-14-310727-9 • $15.00

SHIRLEY JACKSON The Bird’s NestFOREWORD BY KEVIN WILSON

Jackson’s third novel about a demure 23-year-old girl with four separate, self-destructive personalities displays hallmarks of her most unsettling themes: tormented heroines, riv-eting familial secrets, and the unreliability and instability of the human mind.“Jackson knew better than any writer since Hawthorne the value of haunted things.” —The New York Times Book ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 272 PAGES • 978-0-14-310703-3 • $16.00

“No one writes better or more stirringly about the way books shape a reader’s identity and about the way that talking books with

good friends becomes integral to how we understand the books, our friends, and ourselves.” —L A U R A M I L L E R , Salon

A zar Nafisi’s bestseller Reading Lolita in Tehran ended with her

arrival in America with her young family, carrying little more

than the beloved books that helped her survive in revolutionary Iran. The

Republic of Imagination gives us the next chapter in Azar’s journey, as she

settles into her new life as a teacher in Washington, DC, and wonders

what it means to become an American citizen. She turns for an answer

to the writings of the Founding Fathers and to her favorite American

novels—beginning with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

The best novels, Azar reminds us, can transport us across time and

space, picking us up and plunking us down in a radically unfamiliar world,

like Dorothy in the Land of Oz. But they are not just a means of escape.

Through books, we learn to step into other people’s shoes and to imagine

ourselves confronting difficult choices. In this passionately argued and

deeply personal book Azar challenges us to find in fiction the inspiration—

and the courage—to lead a more meaningful life.

“Captivating . . . Animated by an electrifying intelligence and a generosity that is nothing short of uplifting . . . Nafisi links

the freedom of imagination that unites all readers to the founding ideals of our country.” —The Boston Globe

H ERMAN MELV ILLEBilly Budd, Bartleby, and Other StoriesINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY PETER COVIELLO

This new edition of Melville’s virtuosic short stories has been updated with new com-mentary by American literature professor Peter Coviello, whose insightful introduction explores how Melville’s stories cut to the heart of race, class, capitalism, and globalism in America, forging relevant ties to contemporary political and social issues. This edition also features the Reading Text of Billy Budd, Sailor, as edited from a genetic study of the manuscript by Harrison Hayford and Merton M. Sealts, Jr., and the full authoritative Northwestern-Newberry text of The Piazza Tales. PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 368 PAGES • 978-0-14-310760-6 • $11.00

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNEThe Scarlet LetterFOREWORD BY TOM PERROTTA; INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT MILDERNOTES BY THOMAS E. CONNOLLY

The text of this edition of The Scarlet Letter, approved by the Center for Scholarly Edi-tions of the Modern Language Association, is the result of an exhaustive examination of Hawthorne’s manuscript and other historical records. Robert Milder provides an enlightening new bibliography and introduction that reflects contemporary trends in Hawthorne scholarship and embraces the novel’s moral complexity. Tom Perrotta, whose novel The Leftovers was influenced by Hawthorne’s work, provides a thoughtful foreword on how he came to appreciate Hawthorne’s masterpiece.PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 288 PAGES • 978-0-14-310766-8 • $8.00

FREDER ICK DOUGLASSThe Portable Frederick DouglassEDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN STAUFFER AND HENRY LOUIS GATES, JR.

This newly edited collection of the seminal writings and speeches of the legendary civil rights leader features Douglass’s full range, from autobiographical writings that span from his life as a slave child to his memories of slavery as an elder statesman in the late 1870s; his protest fiction; his oratory, constituting the Civil War speeches that launched his political career; and his journalistic essays that cover everything from cultural and political critique to art, literature, law, history, philosophy, and reform. This edition also features writings published for the first time, including Douglass’s piece on Toussaint L’Overture, as well as a new introduction by John Stauffer, a leading expert on 19th-century American history and literature.

WASHINGTON IRV INGThe Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other StoriesINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY ELIZABETH L. BRADLEY

Originally published as The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., this collection of tales features Irving’s best-known literary inventions: Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horse-man, and Rip Van Winkle. These larger-than-life stories and characters gave America its own haunted mythology and continue to capture imaginations today. Features an introduction and notes by Elizabeth L. Bradley, literary consultant to Historic Hudson Valley, the caretakers of Sunnyside—Irving’s Tarrytown, New York, home. PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 400 PAGES • 978-0-14-310753-8 • $11.00

THOMAS L IGOTT ISongs of a Dead Dreamer and GrimscribeFOREWORD BY JEFF VANDERMEER

Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror. In his debut col-lection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, he takes on decaying cities, lurid dreamscapes, and the madness of the human condition. “Ligotti, winner of three Bram Stoker Awards, is one of our finest writers of short horror, and this volume, reprinting his first two collections (1985, 1991), is an excellent intro-duction to the sustained...dread that is his universe.”—The New York Times Book Review“Ligotti is a brilliant prose stylist whose immersive gothic fictions make most horror stories seem as harmless as wind-up toys.”—The Seattle TimesPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 464 PAGES • 978-0-14-310776-7 • $17.00

CHARLES BEAUMONTPerchance to Dream: Selected StoriesFOREWORD BY RAY BRADBURY; AFTERWORD BY WILLIAM SHATNER

This original selection contains Beaumont’s finest short stories, including seven he adapted for Twilight Zone episodes. With impressive narrative feats and eccentric humor, Beaumont transforms nightmares and reveries into genre-crossing tales that borrow ef-fortlessly from horror, noir, supernatural, sci-fi, fantasy, and pulp traditions. “This fresh collection of Beaumont’s weird fiction is rife with fantastical tropes and twist endings….Beaumont challenges perception, norms, and our smug reliance on appear-ances, using supernatural and science-fictional elements to drive home his points….[His] imagination, as Perchance to Dream amply shows, was more than most writer’s enjoy in the longest of lifetimes.”—NPR.orgPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 336 PAGES • 978-0-14-310765-1 • $16.00

RAY RUSSELLThe Case Against SatanFOREWORD BY LAIRD BARRON

“With gripping clarity and incisive wit, Russell weaves a suspenseful plot that’s more of an intellectual thriller than a horror yarn. And at a time when there are still massive ideological battles being waged between science and religion…The Case Against Satan retains its harrowing, relevant edge.”—NPR.org“A predecessor of many famous fictions involving exorcisms, a subject all but forgotten at the time. This book began a sub-genre of literature and is arguably its finest example… full of careful nuance, yet free from weighty judgments.”—Portland Book ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 160 PAGES • 978-0-14-310727-9 • $15.00

SHIRLEY JACKSON The Bird’s NestFOREWORD BY KEVIN WILSON

Jackson’s third novel about a demure 23-year-old girl with four separate, self-destructive personalities displays hallmarks of her most unsettling themes: tormented heroines, riv-eting familial secrets, and the unreliability and instability of the human mind.“Jackson knew better than any writer since Hawthorne the value of haunted things.” —The New York Times Book ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 272 PAGES • 978-0-14-310703-3 • $16.00

The text of this edition of The Scarlet Letter, approved by the Center for Scholarly Edi-tions of the Modern Language Association, is the result of an exhaustive examination of Hawthorne’s manuscript and other historical records.

This newly edited collection of the seminal writings and speeches of the legendary civil rights leader features Douglass’s full range, from autobiographical writings that span from his life as a slave child to his memories of slavery as an elder statesman in the late 1870s; his protest fiction; his oratory, constituting the Civil War speeches that launched his political career; and his journalistic essays that cover everything from cultural and political critique to art, literature, law, history, philosophy, and reform.

Originally published as The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., this collection of tales features Irving’s best-known literary inventions: Ichabod Crane, the Headless Horse-man, and Rip Van Winkle. These larger-than-life stories and characters gave America its own haunted mythology and continue to capture imaginations today. Features an introduction and notes by Elizabeth L.

THOMAS L IGOTT ISongs of a Dead Dreamer and GrimscribeFOREWORD BY JEFF VANDERMEER

Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror. In his debut col-lection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, he takes on decaying cities, lurid dreamscapes, and the madness of the human condition. “Ligotti, winner of three Bram Stoker Awards, is one of our finest writers of short horror, and this volume, reprinting his first two collections (1985, 1991), is an excellent intro-duction to the sustained...dread that is his universe.”—The New York Times Book Review“Ligotti is a brilliant prose stylist whose immersive gothic fictions make most horror stories seem as harmless as wind-up toys.”—The Seattle TimesPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 464 PAGES • 978-0-14-310776-7 • $17.00

CHARLES BEAUMONTPerchance to Dream: Selected StoriesFOREWORD BY RAY BRADBURY; AFTERWORD BY WILLIAM SHATNER

This original selection contains Beaumont’s finest short stories, including seven he adapted for Twilight Zone episodes. With impressive narrative feats and eccentric humor, Beaumont transforms nightmares and reveries into genre-crossing tales that borrow ef-fortlessly from horror, noir, supernatural, sci-fi, fantasy, and pulp traditions. “This fresh collection of Beaumont’s weird fiction is rife with fantastical tropes and twist endings….Beaumont challenges perception, norms, and our smug reliance on appear-ances, using supernatural and science-fictional elements to drive home his points….[His] imagination, as Perchance to Dream amply shows, was more than most writer’s enjoy in the longest of lifetimes.”—NPR.orgPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 336 PAGES • 978-0-14-310765-1 • $16.00

RAY RUSSELLThe Case Against SatanFOREWORD BY LAIRD BARRON

“With gripping clarity and incisive wit, Russell weaves a suspenseful plot that’s more of an intellectual thriller than a horror yarn. And at a time when there are still massive ideological battles being waged between science and religion…The Case Against Satan retains its harrowing, relevant edge.”—NPR.org“A predecessor of many famous fictions involving exorcisms, a subject all but forgotten at the time. This book began a sub-genre of literature and is arguably its finest example… full of careful nuance, yet free from weighty judgments.”—Portland Book ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 160 PAGES • 978-0-14-310727-9 • $15.00

SHIRLEY JACKSON The Bird’s NestFOREWORD BY KEVIN WILSON

Jackson’s third novel about a demure 23-year-old girl with four separate, self-destructive personalities displays hallmarks of her most unsettling themes: tormented heroines, riv-eting familial secrets, and the unreliability and instability of the human mind.“Jackson knew better than any writer since Hawthorne the value of haunted things.” —The New York Times Book ReviewPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 272 PAGES • 978-0-14-310703-3 • $16.00

“No one writes better or more stirringly about the way books shape a reader’s identity and about the way that talking books with

good friends becomes integral to how we understand the books, our friends, and ourselves.” —L A U R A M I L L E R , Salon

A zar Nafisi’s bestseller Reading Lolita in Tehran ended with her

arrival in America with her young family, carrying little more

than the beloved books that helped her survive in revolutionary Iran. The

Republic of Imagination gives us the next chapter in Azar’s journey, as she

settles into her new life as a teacher in Washington, DC, and wonders

what it means to become an American citizen. She turns for an answer

to the writings of the Founding Fathers and to her favorite American

novels—beginning with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

The best novels, Azar reminds us, can transport us across time and

space, picking us up and plunking us down in a radically unfamiliar world,

like Dorothy in the Land of Oz. But they are not just a means of escape.

Through books, we learn to step into other people’s shoes and to imagine

ourselves confronting difficult choices. In this passionately argued and

deeply personal book Azar challenges us to find in fiction the inspiration—

and the courage—to lead a more meaningful life.

“Captivating . . . Animated by an electrifying intelligence and a generosity that is nothing short of uplifting . . . Nafisi links

the freedom of imagination that unites all readers to the founding ideals of our country.” —The Boston Globe

Now an American citizen, she urges fellow Americans to rediscover their country and its fun-damental ideals through its literature. Here, she blends memoir and polemic with close readings of three of her favorite novels—Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Sinclair Lewis’s Babbitt, and Carson McCullers’s The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. “Nafisi finds the essence of the American experience, filtered through narratives not about exceptionalism or fabulous success, but alienation, solitude, and landscape.

PHIL KLAYRedeploymentWith hard-eyed realism and emotional depth, Klay’s short stories take readers to the front lines of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. “Klay—a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who served in Iraq during the surge—gives the civilian reader a visceral feeling for what it is like to be a soldier in a combat zone, and what it is like to return home, still reeling from the dislocations of war. Gritty, unsparing and fiercely observed, these stories leave us with a harrowing sense of the war in Iraq as it was experienced...by individual soldiers.”—The New York Times PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 304 PAGES • 978-0-14-312682-9 • $16.00 WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

PHIL KLAYRedeploymentWith hard-eyed realism and emotional depth, Klay’s short stories take readers to the front lines of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. “Klay—a veteran of the United States Marine Corps who served in Iraq during the surge—gives the civilian reader a visceral feeling for what it is like to be a soldier in a combat zone, and what it is like to return home, still reeling from the dislocations of war. Gritty, unsparing and fiercely observed, these stories leave us with a harrowing sense of the war in Iraq as it was experienced...by individual soldiers.”—The New York Times PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 304 PAGES • 978-0-14-312682-9 • $16.00 WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD
