Poets from around the world celebrate the universal appeal of the comforts of home in this unique anthology. Whether inhabited or remembered, whether solitary or teeming with family, whether a refuge from the world or a connection to a community, home is essential to the self. The pages of this anthology feature homecomings and leavetakings, urban apartments and cozy cottages, stately mansions and hermits' huts. In these poems we can watch a medieval housewife explain to her uncomprehending husband how she has spent her day; we can join with Robert Herrick as he gives thanks for his "humble roof . . . weatherproof"; we can peep in on Amy Lowell in the bath and John Donne in his bed, and join Joy Harjo for a meal at the kitchen table. Home can mean many things: from Horace's rural farm to Billy Collins's favorite armchair, from Milton's "blissful bower" in Paradise to Imtiaz Dharker's "Living Space" in the slums of Mumbai. Mary Oliver imagines her dream house, Emily Dickinson dwells in

W. Somerset Maugham’s masterwork is the coming-of-age story of Philip Carey, a sensitive young man consumed by an unrequited and self-destructive love.Born with a clubfoot, Philip is orphaned as a child and raised by unsympathetic relatives. Sent to a boarding school where he has difficulty fitting in, he grows up with an intense longing for love, art, and experience. After failing to become an artist in Paris, he begins medical studies in London, where he meets Mildred, a cold-hearted waitress with whom he falls into a powerful, tortured, life-altering love affair. This is the most autobiographical of Maugham’s works, with Philip’s malformed foot standing in for Maugham’s stutter, and the character’s painful romantic struggles inspired by the author’s own intense love affairs with both men and women.

The two original short novels brought together here - in new translations by award-winning translators - were both literary gambles of a sort for Dostoevsky.The Double, written in Dostoevsky's youth, was a sharp turn away from the realism of his first novel, Poor Folk. The first real expression of his genius, The Double is a surprisingly modern hallucinatory nightmare in which a minor official named Goliadkin becomes aware of a mysterious doppelganger - a man who has his name and his face and who gradually and relentlessly begins to displace him with his friends and colleagues. In the dilemma of this increasingly paranoid hero, Dostoevsky makes vividly concrete the inner disintegration of consciousness that would become a major theme of his work.The Gambler was written twenty years later, under the pressure of crushing debt. It is a stunning psychological portrait of a young man's exhilarating and destructive addiction, a compulsion that Dostoevsky - who once gambled away his young wif
