Jane Austen's classic novel about heartbreak and second chances, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Clothbound Editions line. Eight years ago, Anne Elliot followed the advice of Lady Russell, her only true friend, and broke off her engagement to the dashing young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. When Anne and the now wealthy Captain Wentworth cross paths years later, it is clear that he has neither forgotten--nor forgiven--their past. Can true love survive heartbreak? Who should we listen to in matters of the heart? Filled with Jane Austen's trademark wit, Persuasion is both a delightful romantic comedy and a surprisingly subversive exploration of our need to persuade, and be persuaded by, others.

Discover how Mount Tambora's catastrophic eruption plunged the world into darkness, altering the global climate and inspiring the likes of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. This remarkable story of disaster and survival is brought to life in a thrilling new illustrated novel from the award-winning author of The Mona Lisa Vanishes. The world was upside-down.

It killed harvests on the other side of the world. It turned farmers into beggars and their children into orphans. It turned sunsets into molten nightmares. That same year, eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley fled England with poet Percy Shelley. While sheltering from the
