In Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Fitzwilliam Darcy learns of the debacle involving Elizabeth Bennet's sister several months after he was rejected by Elizabeth, and volunteers to help find her sister, of his own accord.

Description
Barlaam and Ioasaph, a hagiographic novel, was one of the most popular literary works in medieval Europe. It depicts the life of a cloistered young prince named Ioasaph (more often spelled “Josaphat”), who is converted to Christianity by the monk Barlaam, before he undergoes several trials that test his newfound faith. Although Barlaam and Ioasaph teaches Christian doctrine and quotes extensively from the Bible and later Christian sources, its plot can be traced back to an ancient Buddhist text: the name “Ioasaph” is derived from the Sanskrit word bodhisattva, referring to beings in Mahayana Buddhist cosmology who delay personal liberation from the cycle of liberation in order to save others. Ioasaph’s depiction retains...

Description
Barnaby Rudge opens in the English village of Chigwell in 1775, where an unsolved double murder casts a long shadow over the local community, and in particular Barnaby Rudge, the son of one of the victims. Five years later, London is consumed by the Gordon Riots of 1780, when Lord George Gordon led the Protestant Association in a protest against increased rights for Catholics that descended into days of mob violence. Into this maelstrom wanders Barnaby, a guileless young man with an intellectual disability, recognized across the countryside by his eccentric dress and by Grip, the raven riding on his shoulder. Easily led and hungry for excitement, Barnaby is drawn into the riots, marching under a banner he doesn’t understand towards consequences...

In David Sedaris's world, no one is safe and no cows are sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Leibowitz and the National Enquirer, Sedaris's collection of essays is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a man who is loved too much flees the heavyweight champion of the world; a teenage suicide tries to incite a lynch mob at her funeral; a bitter Santa abuses the elves. David Sedaris made his debut on NPR's Morning Edition with 'SantaLand Diaries,' recounting his strange-but-true experiences as an elf at Macy's, and soom became one of the show's most popular commentators. With a perfect eye and a voice infused with as much empathy as wit, Sedaris writes stories and essays that target the soulful...
