<p><em>The Grain Ship</em> (1914) is a collection of short stories by Morgan Roberston. Published a year before the author’s death, <em>The Grain Ship</em> compiles works of short fiction originally published in <em>Harper’s Monthly</em>, <em>New Story Magazine</em>, and <em>The Sunday Magazine</em>. The ten stories of <em>The Grain Ship</em> showcase Robertson’s skill for yarn-spinning while benefitting from his experience as a merchant sailor. Dining alone at an upscale restaurant, an old sailor overhears an intriguing conversation at the next table over. He listens as a retired sea captain discusses the discovery off the coast of Spain of a merchant ship abandoned and overrun with rats. Intrigued at first, the sailor soon remembers an encounter nearly three decades old. While making his way across Arizona as a cattle driver, thinking of nothing more than returning to sea, he meets a stranger in distress with a faded anchor tattooed on his arm. Taking him to his shelter, he realizes the stranger has lost his memory, that he has no idea of who or where he is. When a rat runs across the floor of the shelter, he suddenly remembers his experience on a grain ship bound from San Francisco, a disastrous voyage on which the whole crewーsave for himselfーdisappeared. “The Grain Ship” is a tale of terror, illness, and doom on the high seas by an author whose experience as a sailor serves him well. Collected in this volume are nine more stories published during Morgan Robertson’s brief yet productive career as a professional writer, including “From the Darkness and the Depths,” “Noah’s Ark,” and “The Argonauts.” This edition of Morgan Robertson’s <em>The Grain Ship</em> is a classic work of American fiction reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Jimbo: A Fantasy</em> (1909) is a novel by Algernon Blackwood. Having already established himself as a promising short story writer, Blackwood published his debut novel at the age of 40. A lifelong occultist, Blackwood was interested in the fine line between the human and spiritual realms, often incorporating supernatural elements into his work. <em>Jimbo: A Fantasy</em> is a story of a young boy’s out of body experience after sustaining a terrible injury, a narrative that explores the vibrant worlds we wake to in our dreams. “Jimbo had fallen on his head. Inside that head lay the mass of highly sensitive matter called the brain, on which were recorded, of course, the impressions of everything that had yet come to him in life. […] [H]e would have to wander, lost and lonely, through the comparative chaos of disproportioned visions, generally known as the region of delirium, until the doctor, assisted by mother nature, restored him once more to normal consciousness.” Unsupervised, Jimmy wanders into the fields near his home. Charged by an angry bull, he falls and strikes his head, losing consciousness for an indeterminate period of time. As his body struggles to stay alive, his mind creates a world of its own, a haunting realm of dreams both fantastic and somehow realer, more vibrant, then the world he seems to have lost. <em>Jimbo: A Fantasy</em> is a story for children and adults alike, a novel that poses timeless questions regarding the nature of our existence, both upon earth and beyond. This edition of Algernon Blackwood’s <em>Jimbo: A Fantasy</em> is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Glimpses of Bengal: The Letters of Tagore</em> (1917) is a selection of letters by Rabindranath Tagore. Published after Tagore received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, <em>Glimpses of Bengal: The Letters of Tagore</em> collects letters from 1885 to 1895, a period designated by the author as “the most productive period of [his] literary life.” Bridging the gap between fiction and nonfiction, these letters contain personal reflections on the political situation in India, mediations on nature and poetry, and stunning vignettes of life in the nineteenth century. “The unsheltered sea heaves and heaves and blanches into foam. It sets me thinking of some tied-up monster straining at its bonds, in front of whose gaping jaws we build our homes on the shore and watch it lashing its tail.” In this selection of letters, Tagore is at his philosophical, poetic best, reflecting earnestly and with ease on matters public and private. A young man, he writes with the clarity and wisdom of one who has lived many times over, granting readers a glimpse of the iconic figure he would become toward the end of his life and career. His portrait of Bengal is heartfelt and true, unadorned and yet possessing an almost mystical quality. Whether describing his travels upriver by boat or a dream journey through a Calcutta immersed in “a dense, dark mist,” Tagore never fails to intrigue, enrapture, and enlighten. This edition of Rabindranath Tagore’s <em>Glimpses of Bengal: The Letters of Tagore</em> is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</em> (1807) is a novel by Charles Maturin. Published under the psueudonym Dennis Jasper Murphy, <em>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</em> was Maturin’s debut novel. Largely ignored by critics and readers, it managed to draw attention from Sir Walter Scott, who supported Maturin’s efforts and encouraged him to pursue a career as a writer. Despite its humble beginnings, <em>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</em> is considered a masterpiece of Gothic romance. “Their palaces were haunted by groups of monks, and magicians, and alchymists, and astrologers; and amid the most superstitious state of the country of superstition, the House of Montorio was distinguished by weak and gloomy credulity.” At the siege of Barcelona in 1697, two brothers of mysterious origin fight bravely and gain the respect of their fellow officers. When the fighting has ceased, they are counted among the dead. Gathering his subordinates, their commandant, “acquainted with their name, and their country, and their misfortunes,” begins to tell the story of their cursed family. <em>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</em> is a story of mystery and terror that engages with timeless themes of loyalty, fantasy, and fate. This edition of Charles Maturin’s <em>Fatal Revenge; Or, the Family of Montorio</em> is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People</em> (1892) is a novel by Israel Zangwill. Raised in London by parents from Latvia and Poland, Zangwill understood the plight of the city’s Jewish community firsthand. Having risen through poverty to become an educator and author, he dedicated his career to the voiceless, the oppressed, and the needy, advocating for their rights and bearing witness to their suffering in some of the most powerful novels and stories of the Victorian era. “People who have been living in a Ghetto for a couple of centuries, are not able to step outside merely because the gates are thrown down, nor to efface the brands on their souls by putting off the yellow badges. The isolation imposed from without will have come to seem the law of their being.” As a Jewish immigrant who grew up in poverty in London, Israel Zangwill knows that the condition of life in the ghetto changes not just lives, but mentalities. Even if the Jews living in squalor on the East End of London were given the same rights as native Britons, they would still live with fear and doubt every day of their lives. In the first novel of his Ghetto series, Zangwill explores the day to day existence of these very people, illuminating their hopes and their dreams, illustrating their struggle to uphold traditions threatened by assimilation and the increasing secularism of modern life. The tales of Jewish life in <em>Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People</em> earned Zangwill comparisons to Dickens upon publication, and helped to establish him as an author with a gift for intensive character study and a passion for political themes. This edition of Israel Zangwill’s <em>Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People</em> is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><strong><em>Five Weeks in a Balloon</em> is not only the first installment in Jules Verne’s celebrated <em>Voyages Extraordinaires</em> series, but also the first of Verne’s works to earn him widespread popularity as a writer of science fiction and adventure novels.</strong></p> <p>Following his invention of an ingenious new air balloon capable of long-distance flight, Dr. Samuel Fergusson embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with his trusted servant, Joe, and loyal friend, Dick Kennedy.

On the way, they must overcome extreme thirst, withstand assaults from hostile tribes, and stage a series of daring rescues and brilliant escapes.

<p><em>The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr</em> (1861) is an erotic biography of Aaron Burr. Published anonymously decades after Burr’s death, the book incorporates some of the well-known facts and scandals of his political lifeーincluding his arrest for treason and murder of Alexander Hamiltonーwith lurid fantasies of his legendary encounters with women. Comparable, perhaps, to the modern phenomenon of fan fiction, <em>The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr</em> is a risqu? recreation of an infamous American’s romantic endeavors. “This talented, heroic, and energetic man was an adorer of the fair sex. From the age of puberty to the day of his death, (which occurred in his eightieth year,) Aaron Burr was keenly alive to the fascinations of the fairer portion of creation, and esteemed their smiles as sunny rays darted from heaven.” You might think you know everything there is to know about Aaron Burrーdisgraced several times over, banished from political life following his very public downfall, his story is a cautionary tale of excess and ambition played out on the nation’s biggest stage. For the anonymous author of <em>The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr</em>, the factsーboth historical and anecdotalーwere simply not enough. In this erotic examination of Burr’s legendary love life, we find another angle on a man who would be myth, a man shown here to be somehow less principled, and frequently less clothed, than the one we thought we knew. This edition of <em>The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr</em> is a classic of American erotic fiction reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>A Child of Sorrow</em> (1921) is a novel by Zoilo Galang. The novel, Galang’s debut, has been recognized as the first work of published Filipino fiction written in English. Modeled after popular nineteenth century romances written in Spanish and Tagalog, <em>A Child of Sorrow</em> is a classic coming of age tale engaged with themes of friendship, desire, and the loss of innocence. Simple and heartfelt, <em>A Child of Sorrow</em> remains a groundbreaking work of literature from an author who dedicated his career to education and the arts.</p> <p>“In one of the rural and sequestered plains of Central Luzon, called the Fertile Valley, where the rice fields yielded the cup of joy to the industrious farmers, and where the harvest filled aplenty the barns of the poor, there lived simple, homely people, free from the rush and stir of city life.” In this idyllic setting, Lucio and Camilo discuss their plans for summer vacation. While Lucio, a dreamer “who painted brilliant lives on the nice canvas of memory,” wants to immerse himself in his collection of books, Camilo wants his friend to join him in the world beyond words. Together, they take a trip into town, hoping for adventure and camaraderieーand, if possible, to meet a young woman to fall in love with. Despite Camilo’s encouragement, however, Lucio longs to write poetry, to commune with the natural world with nothing but his own thoughts to keep him company. One bright morning, he runs into Rosa returning home with a pitcher of water. Before he can collect himself, Lucio confesses his undying love.</p> <p>This edition of Zoilo Galang’s <em>A Child of Sorrow</em> is a classic work of Filipino literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Mr. Midshipman Easy</em> (1836) is a novel by Frederick Marryat. Inspired by the author’s experience as a captain in the Royal Navy, <em>Mr. Midshipman Easy</em> is a tale of bravery, foolishness, and the manifold reasons for men to take to the high seas.

Who and what is to prevent me? Was not I born my own master?ーhas any one a right to dictate to me as if I were not his equal? Have I not as much right to my share of the sea as any other mortal? I stand upon perfect equality,’ continued Jack, stamping his right foot on the floor.” Fueled by his father’s philosophical ideas on liberty and equality, Jack Easy decides he will prove himself in a place where all men are equals. Despite his bravery, he soon finds that ideals will get one nowhere in the service of the Royal Navy. Working below deck with the African cook Mephistopheles Faust, Jack learns the secrets of the ship and encounters a lesson in discipline he will never forget. As he rises through the ranks and makes a name for himself during the fierce fighting of the Napoleonic Wars, Jack discovers new depths to his fortitude that would never have showed themselves had he stayed on land.</p> <p>This edition of Frederick Marryat’s <em>Mr. Midshipman Easy</em> is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Published the year Mukerji moved from San Francisco to New York City, <em>Kari the Elephant</em> is the debut children’s book from the first Indian writer to gain a popular audience in the United States.

I was nine years old and I could reach his back if I stood on tiptoe. He seemed to remain that high for nearly two years. Perhaps we grew together; that is probably why I never found out just how tall he was.” Raised side by side, Kari and his handler grow inseparable through their travels in the Indian countryside. As their adventures bring them to cities, jungles, and distant lands, boy and elephant overcome danger and learn the true meaning of friendship. Although he never returned to his native country, Mukerji left an inspiring legacy through his literary achievement and unwavering commitment to Indian independence. This edition of Dhan Gopal Mukerji’s <em>Kari the Elephant</em> is a classic of Indian American literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p>In 1928, there were three lesbian novels published in England: Viriginia Woolf’s <em>Orlando: A Biography</em>, Compton Mackenzie’s <em>Extraordinary Women</em>, and Radclyffe Hall’s <em>The Well of Loneliness</em>. Between them, each book offered then-revolutionary ideas about love, sexuality, and gender; but only one has been banned, welcomed praise, and garnered controversy for almost a century.</p> <p>Stephen Gordon has always been different. Firstly, she was born a girl against her parent’s wishes. Secondly, she is raised to be boyishーthe son her father always wantedーmuch to her mother’s disdain. However, the most damning thing of all is Stephen’s love for other women, something society isn’t quite ready to accept. While Stephen lives a <em>good</em> lifeーthat is, having wealth and opportunity by virtue of being born into an upper-class aristocratic familyーit is far from an easy one. For Stephen, life is a frustrating existence where she does not know the meaning of herself or where she belongs in the world…that is until she meets Angela Crossby, and comes to know romantic love for the very first time.</p> <p>Autobiographical in nature, Radclyffe Hall’s <em>The Well of Loneliness</em> is an intensely emotional novel about what it means to be queer in the early twentieth century.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Taboo</em> (1921) is a comic fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell. Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where a lowly pawnbroker can encounter monsters, gods, and devils, <em>Taboo</em> is a follow up to <em>Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice</em>, which was the subject of an obscenity trial pursued by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. In 1923, after winning his case, Cabell made sure to immortalize the event with a revised edition featuring a “lost” chapter where Jurgen is persecuted for his writing by grotesque Philistines. In <em>Taboo</em>, one work in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the <em>Biography of the Life of Manuel</em>, Cabell explores the cultural environment that led to his work’s persecution, inventing a whole world in which to air his grievances. “Since time's beginning, every age has had its literary taboos, selecting certain thingsーmore or less arbitrarily, but usually some natural functionーas the things which must not be written about. To violate any such taboo so long as it stays prevalent is to be ‘indecent’: and that seems absolutely all there is to say concerning this topic, apart from furnishing some impressive historical illustration...” While most authors in the midst of an obscenity trial would be content to let their lawyer do the talking, James Branch Cabell took the opportunity to reflect on the matter in the only way he knew how. In this work, written in the style of medieval history, Cabell tells the story of Philistia, a country dedicated to the persecution of all manner of ill-defined vice and taboo. Bold and satirical, this thinly veiled critique of his own, high-minded critics is essential to understanding Cabell’s vision of art. Cabell’s work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read <em>Taboo</em>, however, is to understand that the issues thereinーthe struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and womenーwere vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. This edition of James Branch Cabell’s <em>Taboo</em> is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Confessions</em> (401) is the work of Saint Augustine, a Roman theologian and bishop responsible for some of the core doctrines of today’s Catholic church. His literary works, including <em>The Confessions</em>, <em>The Enchiridion</em>, and <em>On Christian Doctrine</em>, are commonly viewed as foundational works of Christian theology and Western philosophy. Bishop of Hippo Regiusーin modern day Algeriaーfrom 395 to his death in 430, Augustine helped to justify and consolidate the role of Christianity in the Roman Empire and was canonized as a saint for his efforts.</p> <p>A young man does poorly in school, steals from his neighbor’s orchard, and has a son with a woman to whom he is not married. These are some of the core personal experiences detailed by Augustine in his autobiographical and theological work <em>Confessions</em>, in which he grows from a life of sin to accepting God and the Christian faith. Interspersed with stories of his life and conversion are descriptions and critiques of Neoplatonism, Manichaeism, and astrology, systems of belief and understanding which, for Augustine, fall short of the vision of humanity and salvation offered by Christianity. Throughout this text, Augustine encourages readersーespecially those who have led troubled livesーnot only to convert to Christianity, but to understand the inherent imperfection of all humanity and to envision the ultimately hopeful message of transformation and forgiveness offered by faith in God. <em>Confessions</em> is at heart a Christian text, but it is also essentially human. Augustine is remembered not just as a saint and Christian leader, but as a figure who precipitated the evolution of Western thought.</p> <p>Augustine’s <em>Confessions</em> is a foundational work of autobiographical and philosophical writing, influencing such writers as Blaise Pascal, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Thomas Aquinas, Bertrand Russell, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Its personal nature and depth of honesty are considered formal innovations in autobiography and memoir writing, and its meditations on God and human nature have made it an essential text for philosophers and theologians for centuries.</p> <p>This edition of Saint Augustine’s <em>Confessions</em> is a classic of autobiography and Christian theology reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Flint and Feather</em> (1913) is a collection of the complete poems of E. Pauline Johnson. Revered as one the foremost Canadian poets of her time, Johnson was a prolific writer whose works explored her Mohawk heritage while shedding light on the racism and persecution faced by indigenous peoples across North America.</p> <p>“The lyrical verse herein is as a ‘Skyward floating feather, / Sailing on summer air.’ And yet that feather may be the eagle plume that crests the head of a warrior chief; so both flint and feather bear the hall-mark of my Mohawk blood.” So states Johnson in the foreword to her complete poems, <em>Flint and Feather</em>, a collection that captures not only her range as a poet in tune with the Romantic tradition, but her dualistic sense of identity as a woman of Mohawk and English heritage. Choosing to emphasize the former, Johnson, who also went by Tekahionwake, her great-grandfather’s name, adopts the persona of an Indian wife who, watching her love depart, wonders what he will “suffer from the white man’s hand.” In fear, in anger, in desperation, she proclaims “By right, by birth we Indians own these lands, / Though starved, crushed, plundered, lies our nation low…” In the face of defeat, she offers a poetry in tune with the “ghost upon the shore,” the voices one hears “when the Northern candles light the Northern sky.” Johnson’s voice is thus both one of resistance and mourning, her song one of a land of plains and rivers, of fields that await the harvest despite the “prying pilot crow” whose “thieving raids” descend “[a]t husking time.”</p> <p>This edition of E.

<p>"Will writers ever recover that peculiar blend of security and alertness which characterizes Mrs. Wharton and her tradition?” -- E. M. Forster</p> <p><strong><em>The Descent of Man and Other Stories</em> offers the author’s well-known depictions of upper class life in New York, but also exhibits her remarkable talent in tales of humorous irony, history and the supernatural.</strong></p> <p>Originally published in 1904 <em>The Descent of Man and Other Stories</em> features the author’s nuanced prose and sharply observed characters in a chain of unforgettable tales. In several Wharton examines marriage, which was frequently arranged in her era. The author digs deep into her characters to find what can hold a marriage together or slowly pull it apart. The difficulty of establishing and maintaining honest relations in a highly stratified and proper society is a consistent challenge for her characters, especially in the title story in which a man of principle finds himself misunderstood and forced to potentially compromise his beliefs. Wharton also affords glimpses into the trials of being an author, drawing both drama and humor from the profession. There’s a chance to sample the author’s ghostly fiction, which has long been appreciated by aficionados of the macabre. This is a showcase for the author’s range of interests and for her remarkable ability to tell memorable stories that strike to the heart.</p> <p>With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of <em>The Descent of Man and Other Stories</em> is both modern and readable.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

<p><em>Life Among the Paiutes</em> (1883) is a book by Sarah Winnemucca. Written toward the end of a lifetime of advocacy on behalf of Native Americans, <em>Life Among the Paiutes</em> is a hybrid work of history and memoir by Sarah Winnemucca, who witnessed firsthand the dangers of unchecked occupation by US government and military forces. Intended as a rallying cry to white Americans, <em>Life Among the Paiutes</em> is considered the first autobiographical work written by a woman of Native American heritage. Oh my dear good Christian people, how long are you going to stand by and see us suffer at your hands?” First and foremost, Winnemucca’s groundbreaking text is intended for an Anglo-American audience, whose political status the author hopes to use as a means of bringing her message to the halls of Congress. In the memoir section, Winnemucca describes her upbringing among the Northern Paiute in Nevada, whose lives were irrevocably disrupted by incursions from white settlers and military raids. After the murder of her mother and several members of her family by the US Cavalry, Winnemucca dedicated herself to social work and activism, using her knowledge of the English language to reach a larger audience. Weaving her own story into the story of her people, Winnemucca makes a compelling case for the reparation of land and sovereignty to the Northern Paiutes, who had been devastated and dispersed for decades after making contact with American settlers. This edition of Sarah Winnemucca’s <em>Life Among the Paiutes</em> is a classic work of Native American literature reimagined for modern readers.</p> <p>Since our inception in 2020, <strong>Mint Editions</strong> has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
