Una Donna by Sibilla Aleramo Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1906 e ripubblicato nel corso degli anni in molteplici edizioni, questo romanzo nasce dall'esperienza autobiografica dell'autrice ed è frutto di quei fermenti sociali che portarono alla nascita del femminismo, di cui la Aleramo stessa si sentì parte attiva. Nell'intento di rivelare, per la prima volta, "l'anima femminile moderna," con grande spirito realistico la Aleramo compone pagine di aperta denuncia e di critica sociale, affrontando argomenti come la povertà e l'ignoranza, le differenze regionali, il socialismo e naturalmente la condizione svantaggiosa da cui la donna avrebbe dovuto riscattarsi. La sua immediata fortuna in Italia e nei paesi in cui fu tradotto segnalò una nuova scrittrice, che in seguito avrebbe fornito altre prove di valore, segnatamente nella poesia We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

Dr. Charlotte Adam is torn between two men in this final book in the heart-tugging Angel’s Bay series from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Barbara Freethy. For years, Dr. Charlotte Adams has been concentrating on her career and trying to make up for her past by helping out pregnant teenagers. Taking care of Annie’s baby has gone a long way in healing old wounds and Charlotte realizes she needs to think about what she wants for her future and if Andrew Schilling, a high school romance gone wrong, or Joe Silveira, the hot divorced police chief, have any part in it. Both Andrew and Joe are trying to convince Charlotte to give them a chance. But when Pamela, the girl who destroyed Andrew and Charlotte’s relationship, shows up once again—and this time pregnant and in trouble—Charlotte realizes that Andrew is hiding things from her. Unsure of telling the truth, Andrew keeps his cards close, even when trouble comes in the form of Kenny, Pamela’s ex-con boyfriend and Andrew'’s old college buddy. But keeping his silence could have deadly results. Meanwhile, Joe is given a second chance at love and realizes Charlotte is the only woman he wants. When he can’t find her anywhere, he knows something is wrong. With Kenny in town and Pamela due, Joe knows he must find Charlotte before it’s too late.

A beautiful debut set around the creation of the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium--and the last days of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row In 1940, fifteen year-old Margot Fiske arrives on the shores of Monterey Bay with her eccentric entrepreneur father. Margot has been her father's apprentice all over the world, until an accident in Monterey's tide pools drives them apart and plunges her head-first into the mayhem of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row. Steinbeck is hiding out from his burgeoning fame at the raucous lab of Ed Ricketts, the biologist known as Doc in Cannery Row. Ricketts, a charismatic bohemian, quickly becomes the object of Margot's fascination. Despite Steinbeck's protests and her father's misgivings, she wrangles a job as Ricketts's sketch artist and begins drawing the strange and wonderful sea creatures he pulls from the waters of the bay. Unbeknownst to Margot, her father is also working with Ricketts. He is soliciting the biologist's advice on his most ambitious and controversial project to date: the transformation of the Row's largest cannery into an aquarium. When Margot begins an affair with Ricketts, she sets in motion a chain of events that will affect not just the two of them, but the future of Monterey as well. Alternating between past and present, Monterey Bay explores histories both imagined and actual to create an unforgettable portrait of an exceptional woman, a world-famous aquarium, and the beloved town they both call home.
