A new translation of the classic biography of the most renowned saint in Ti-betan Buddhist history. This dramatic tale from a culture now in crisis can be read on several levels. A personal and moving introduction to Tibetan Bud-dhism, it is also a detailed guide to the search for liberation.

It is also a powerfully evocative narrative, full of magic, miracles, suspense, and humor, while reflecting the religious and social life of medieval Tibet.

Lydia Davis follows up her award-winning, rapturously reviewed translation of Marcel Proust’s Swann’s Way by turning her gifts to the book that defined the novel as an art form.“It is a shame Flaubert will never read Davis’s translation of Madame Bovary. Even he would have to agree his masterwork has been given the English trans-lation it deserves.”—The New York Times Book Review“I was struck delirious by the force of Flaubert’s writing, and the precision (the perfection) of Davis’s translation.”—The New Yorker

Suddenly realizing what’s important in life (with the help of a bunny), a man quits his job and heads to the countryside in this internationally bestselling comic novel. “This picaresque novel could simply depict a middle-age crisis, but it reaches beyond fantasy or fiction, becoming mythic in its universal themes.”—Booklist

fraNçois lelordHector and the search for HappinessCombining the winsome appeal of The Little Prince with the inspiring philoso-phy of The Alchemist, Hector’s journey around the world and into the human soul is as winning in its optimism as it is powerful in its insight. “Utterly charming...Hector and the Search for Happiness turns psychological research into a fast-paced, enchanting story. Lelord himself is a psychiatrist, and his interest in the human mind is infectious.”—BookPage

The sonnetsA dual-language edition with Parallel Text

ediTed wiTh aN iNTrodUcTioN by sTepheN kessler

This landmark collection brings together for the first time in any language all of the sonnets of Jorge Luis Borges. A distinguished team of translators—Edith Grossman, Willis Barnstone, John Updike, Mark Strand, Robert Fitzgerald, Alastair Reid, Charles Tomlinson, and Stephen Kessler—lend their gifts to these sonnets, many of which appear here in English for the first time, and all of which accompany their Spanish originals on facing pages.

Poems of the NightA dual-language edition with Parallel Text

ediTed wiTh aN iNTrodUcTioN by efraiN krisTal

A moving collection of the great literary visionary’s poetic meditations on nighttime, darkness, and the crepuscular world of visions and dreams, themes that speak implicitly to the blindness that overtook Borges late in life. Featur-ing such poems as “History of the Night” and “In Praise of Darkness” and more than fifty others in luminous translations by an array of distinguished translators—among them W.S. Merwin, Christopher Maurer, Alan Trueblood, and Alastair Reid—this volume brings to light many poems that have never appeared in English, presenting them en face with their Spanish originals.

On WritingediTed wiTh aN iNTrodUcTioN aNd NoTes by sUzaNNe Jill leviNe

On Writing is designed to offer a comprehensive and balanced account of the evolution of Borges’ thinking on the craft of writing, an intense and perennial concern of his. Borges had a remarkable impact on writers in the United States, Britain, Italy, France and many other countries. His essays were perceived to have anticipated some of the principal topics of modern literary theory, from Russian formalism through to poststructuralism and postmodernism.
