A Mystery of Mysteries is a brilliant biography of Edgar Allan Poe that examines the renowned author's life through the prism of his mysterious death and its many possible causes. It is a moment shrouded in horror and mystery. Edgar Allan Poe died on October 7, 1849, at just forty, in a painful, utterly bizarre manner that would not have been out of place in one of his own tales of terror. What was the cause of his untimely death, and what happened to him during the three missing days before he was found, delirious and "in great distress" on the streets of Baltimore, wearing ill-fitting clothes that were not his own? Mystery and horror. Poe, who remains one of the most iconic of American writers, died under haunting circumstances that reflect the two literary genres he took to new heights. Over the years, there has been a staggering amount of speculation about the cause of death, from rabies and syphilis to suicide, alcoholism, and even murder. But many of these theories are formed on

Through a rich and beautiful series of images, British fashion journalist and @LadyDiRevengeLooks Instagrammer Eloise Moran decodes Princess Di’s outfits, in a smart, visual psychobiography of an icon.Fashion writer Eloise Moran has studied thousands of pictures of Princess Diana. She discovered that behind each outfit lay a carefully crafted strategy. What Lady Di couldn’t express verbally, she expressed through her clothes.From the pink gingham pants and pastel-yellow overalls of a sacrificial lamb, to the sexy Versace mini dresses, power suits, and bicycle shorts of a free woman, Diana’s most show-stopping―and poignant―eighties and early nineties outfits are all here in The Lady Di Look Book, incisively decoded. Diana was nothing if not a master manipulator of media and message: her famous black sheep sweater speaks for itself, but more subtle layers of meaning abound in the outfits she wore both in public and in private. And Moran sees things no one has before. With new interviews

The inspiring story of how one woman saved fellow refugees from drowning—and how she went on to become an Olympic swimmer.When young Syrian refugee Yusra Mardini realized her boat's engine shut down as she was traveling from Syria to Greece with other refugees, there was no hesitation: she dove into the water. Surfacing, she heard desperate prayers and sobbing from the passengers in the sinking boat above her. Between the waves, her elder sister Sarah screamed at her to get back on the boat. But Mardini was determined. She was not going to let Sarah do this alone. Grabbing the rope with one hand, she began kicking up the black water, inching the boat towards the distant shore.This bold act of bravery saved the lives of a boatload of refugees. After her arrival in Greece, Mardini, focused and undeterred, worked toward a lifelong goal: to compete in the Olympics as a swimmer. She succeeded, and competed in 2016 on the Refugee Olympic Team in Rio de Janeiro.The Swimmers tells her story, f

The true story of the men who flew the deadliest missions of World War II, and an unlikely hero who received the Medal of Honor in the midst of the bloodiest military campaign in aviation history.There’s no higher accolade in the U.S. military than the Medal of Honor, and 472 people received it for their action during World War II. But only one was demoted right after: Maynard Harrison Smith.Smith is one of the most unlikely heroes of the war, where he served in B-17s during the early days of the bombing of France and Germany from England. From his juvenile delinquent past in Michigan, through the war and during the decades after, Smith’s life seemed to be a series of very public missteps. The other airmen took to calling the 5-foot, 5-inch airman “Snuffy” after an unappealing movie character.This is also the man who, on a tragically mishandled mission over France on May 1, 1943, single-handedly saved the crewmen in his stricken B-17. With every other gunner injured or bailed out, Smit
