Flamboyant, theatrical and ambitious, Margaret Cavendish was one of the seventeenth century's most striking figures: a woman who ventured into the male spheres of politics, science, philosophy and literature. The Blazing World is a highly original work: part Utopian fiction, part feminist text, it tells of a lady shipwrecked on the Blazing World where she is made Empress and uses her power to ensure that it is free of war, religious division and unfair sexual discrimination. This volume also includes The Contract, a romance in which love and law work harmoniously together, and Assaulted and Pursued Chastity, which explores the power and freedom a woman can achieve in the disguise of a man.

The green light has never beamed more brightly. Since its 1925 publication, F. Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece has enthralled millions with its unforgettable tale of class struggle, debauched wealth, and discarded love. Now the haunting account of Jay Gatsby's rise and fall astonishes us anew in an art-book edition that showcases the novel as the incandescent American treasure that it is. Featuring more than fifty eye-popping, full-color illustrations that combine jazz age decadence with a sleek modern sensibility, this high-end publication brings us into Gatsby's world and Gatsby into ours. A shimmering die-cut slipcase, sculpturally embossed and gold-foiled, protects an emerald-hued cover that recalls envy, money, and the mysterious glow from across a harbor, which still mesmerizes readers today. Famed illustrators Anna and Elena Balbusso are known for creating remarkable imagery that's grounded in art history and soaring in its originality. Their contemporary take on this iconic narrative reminds us that Fitzgerald's critique of privileged wealth in the roaring 20s remains potent and relevant for today's economic divide. Whether you're a fan of classic literature, a lover of beautiful illustration and design, or a collector of exceptionally gorgeous books, this Illuminated Edition will please the eye as much as Fitzgerald's story challenges the status quo. The novel that you fell in love with has never had more to tell us -- or looked as glorious doing so.
