Excerpt from Lady Verners Flight "Never to be born at all is the best of all lots, and the second best is for a child to return as quickly as possible after his birth to the place from which he came." - Sophocles. "Cousin or no cousin, she has been the kindest friend I have ever had," says Kenrick, warmly, his young and kindly face lighting as he speaks. There is still a good deal of the boy about him. "And I say it is a shame that her life should be spoiled by such a beast as that Verner. Why, he - he isn't even decent." "It is horrible!" returns Lady Carysfort, tears in her handsome eyes. "But what I mean is, that you being her cousin and I her aunt, the world will regard us as prejudiced." "Who cares about the world?" says he, throwing up his head. Considering he is quite three-and-twenty, such astonishing valor is hardly to be expected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Now with a new introduction for the Tor Essentials line, A Fire Upon the Deep is sure to bring a new generation of SF fans to Vinge's award-winning works. A Hugo Award-winning Novel! “Vinge is one of the best visionary writers of SF today.”-David Brin Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Fleeing this galactic threat, Ravna crash lands on a strange world with a ship-hold full of cryogenically frozen children, the only survivors from a destroyed space-lab. They are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle.

Flight to Freedom by Ellen Oppenheimer Flight to Freedom is the story of author Ellen Oppenheimer’s family’s escape from the Nazis starting in Germany, 1933. They settled in Paris.

They traveled from Paris to Marseille to Oran to Casablanca, then to the United States on a slow Portuguese boat landing in Staten Island in 1942.
During the Cold War, freedom of expression was vaunted as liberal democracy’s most cherished possession—but such freedom was put in service of a hidden agenda. In The Cultural Cold War, Frances Stonor Saunders reveals the extraordinary efforts of a secret campaign in which some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom in the West were working for or subsidized by the CIA—whether they knew it or not. Called "the most comprehensive account yet of the [CIA’s] activities between 1947 and 1967" by the New York Times, the book presents shocking evidence of the CIA’s undercover program of cultural interventions in Western Europe and at home, drawing together declassified documents and exclusive interviews to expose the CIA’s astonishing campaign to deploy the likes of Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Robert Lowell, George Orwell, and Jackson Pollock as weapons in the Cold War. Translated into ten languages, this classic work—now with a new preface by the author—is "a real contribution to popular understanding of the postwar period" (The Wall Street Journal), and its story of covert cultural efforts to win hearts and minds continues to be relevant today.
