NURUDDIN FARAHHiding in Plain SightWhen, after years of absence, the mother of Bella’s teenage niece and nephew resurfaces following the murder of their father by political extremists, Bella must decide how far she will go in the name of sisterly responsibility. This is a profound exploration of ten-sions between freedom and obligation, the ways gender and sexual preference define us, and the paths by which the political disrupts the personal.“[Farah] writes evocatively about everything from Nairobi traffic to Kenyan game re-serves to, importantly, how Somalis are seen not just through the eyes of others, but through their own.”—USA TodayRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 352 PAGES • 978-1-59463-410-9 • $17.00
MO YANFrogTRANSLATED BY HOWARD GOLDBLATT
The author of Red Sorghum returns with his first major work since winning the Nobel Prize: a history of modern China through the lens of the nation’s one-child policy. “An anarchic, brutal book about the inhumanity of servants of the Communist state...and the moral vacuum at the heart of post-Mao China.”—New York Times Book ReviewVIKING HARDCOVER • 480 PAGES • 978-0-525-42798-8 • $27.95
DANIEL GALERABlood-Drenched BeardTRANSLATED BY ALISON ENTREKIN
From Brazil’s acclaimed novelist comes the story of how a troubled young man’s restor-ative seaside journey becomes a violent struggle with his family’s history. “Spooky, superbly executed....Superstition, rumor, and illusion filter into reality in a way reminiscent of Gabriel García Márquez.”—The Wall Street JournalPENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 384 PAGES • 978-1-59420-574-3 • $26.95
JUAN GABR IEL VÁSQUEZLovers on All Saints’ DayTRANSLATED BY ANNE McLEAN
In these seven stories, the author of The Sound of Things Falling tackles themes of love and memory.

ELENA FERRANTEThe Story of the Lost ChildTRANSLATED BY ANN GOLDSTEIN
In this fourth and final book of Ferrante’s acclaimed Neapolitan Novels, bookish Elena and fiery Lila are adults; their friendship, examined in detail over the course of three previous novels, plays out against the backdrop of a Naples as seductive as it is perilous.“Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time.”—New York Times Book ReviewEUROPA EDITIONS PAPERBACK • 464 PAGES • 978-1-60945-286-5 • $18.00
FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKYCrime and PunishmentTRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY OLIVER READY
“This vivid, stylish, and rich rendition…compels the attention of the reader in a way that none of the others I’ve read comes close to matching. Using a clear and forceful mid-20th-century idiom, Ready gives us...[a] new kind of access to Dostoyevsky’s singular, self-reflexive, and at times unnervingly comic text.”—John Gray, New Statesman (UK)PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 608 PAGES • 978-0-14-310763-7 • $20.00
HENRIK IBSENThe Master Builder and Other PlaysTRANSLATED BY BARBARA HAVELAND AND ANNE-MARIE STANTON-IFEEDITED BY TORE REM; INTRODUCTION BY TORIL MOI

APOLLONIUS OF RHODESJason and the ArgonautsTRANSLATED BY AARON POOCHIGIANINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY BENJAMIN ACOSTA-HUGHES
The full account of Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece—in an accessible verse translation. “At every turn, Poochigian…improves on every English-language translation of the Argonautica that’s come before him.”—Open Letters MonthlyPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 272 PAGES • 978-0-14-310686-9 • $15.00
HERODOTUSThe HistoriesTRANSLATED BY TOM HOLLAND INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY PAUL CARTLEDGE
With an array of tools to guide new readers and experts alike, this translation features an introduction, notes, a translator’s preface, maps, and an index of people and places.“Unquestionably the best English translation of Herodotus to have appeared in the past half-century.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK)PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 880 PAGES • 978-0-14-310754-5 • $23.00
VICTOR HUGOLes MisérablesTRANSLATED WITH NOTES BY CHRISTINE DONOUGHERINTRODUCTION BY ROBERT TOMBS
“Donougher’s translation is a magnificent achievement. It reads easily, sometimes racily, and Hugo’s narrative power is never let down….[An] almost flawless translation, which brings the full flavour of one of the greatest novels of the 19th century to new readers in the 21st.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK)PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 1,456 PAGES • 978-0-14-310756-9 • $25.00

NURUDDIN FARAHHiding in Plain SightWhen, after years of absence, the mother of Bella’s teenage niece and nephew resurfaces following the murder of their father by political extremists, Bella must decide how far she will go in the name of sisterly responsibility. This is a profound exploration of ten-sions between freedom and obligation, the ways gender and sexual preference define us, and the paths by which the political disrupts the personal.“[Farah] writes evocatively about everything from Nairobi traffic to Kenyan game re-serves to, importantly, how Somalis are seen not just through the eyes of others, but through their own.”—USA TodayRIVERHEAD PAPERBACK • 352 PAGES • 978-1-59463-410-9 • $17.00
MO YANFrogTRANSLATED BY HOWARD GOLDBLATT
The author of Red Sorghum returns with his first major work since winning the Nobel Prize: a history of modern China through the lens of the nation’s one-child policy. “An anarchic, brutal book about the inhumanity of servants of the Communist state...and the moral vacuum at the heart of post-Mao China.”—New York Times Book ReviewVIKING HARDCOVER • 480 PAGES • 978-0-525-42798-8 • $27.95
DANIEL GALERABlood-Drenched BeardTRANSLATED BY ALISON ENTREKIN
From Brazil’s acclaimed novelist comes the story of how a troubled young man’s restor-ative seaside journey becomes a violent struggle with his family’s history. “Spooky, superbly executed....Superstition, rumor, and illusion filter into reality in a way reminiscent of Gabriel García Márquez.”—The Wall Street JournalPENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 384 PAGES • 978-1-59420-574-3 • $26.95
JUAN GABR IEL VÁSQUEZLovers on All Saints’ DayTRANSLATED BY ANNE McLEAN
In these seven stories, the author of The Sound of Things Falling tackles themes of love and memory.

ELENA FERRANTEThe Story of the Lost ChildTRANSLATED BY ANN GOLDSTEIN
In this fourth and final book of Ferrante’s acclaimed Neapolitan Novels, bookish Elena and fiery Lila are adults; their friendship, examined in detail over the course of three previous novels, plays out against the backdrop of a Naples as seductive as it is perilous.“Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time.”—New York Times Book ReviewEUROPA EDITIONS PAPERBACK • 464 PAGES • 978-1-60945-286-5 • $18.00
FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKYCrime and PunishmentTRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY OLIVER READY
“This vivid, stylish, and rich rendition…compels the attention of the reader in a way that none of the others I’ve read comes close to matching. Using a clear and forceful mid-20th-century idiom, Ready gives us...[a] new kind of access to Dostoyevsky’s singular, self-reflexive, and at times unnervingly comic text.”—John Gray, New Statesman (UK)PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 608 PAGES • 978-0-14-310763-7 • $20.00
HENRIK IBSENThe Master Builder and Other PlaysTRANSLATED BY BARBARA HAVELAND AND ANNE-MARIE STANTON-IFEEDITED BY TORE REM; INTRODUCTION BY TORIL MOI

APOLLONIUS OF RHODESJason and the ArgonautsTRANSLATED BY AARON POOCHIGIANINTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY BENJAMIN ACOSTA-HUGHES
The full account of Jason’s quest for the Golden Fleece—in an accessible verse translation. “At every turn, Poochigian…improves on every English-language translation of the Argonautica that’s come before him.”—Open Letters MonthlyPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 272 PAGES • 978-0-14-310686-9 • $15.00
HERODOTUSThe HistoriesTRANSLATED BY TOM HOLLAND INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY PAUL CARTLEDGE
With an array of tools to guide new readers and experts alike, this translation features an introduction, notes, a translator’s preface, maps, and an index of people and places.“Unquestionably the best English translation of Herodotus to have appeared in the past half-century.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK)PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 880 PAGES • 978-0-14-310754-5 • $23.00
VICTOR HUGOLes MisérablesTRANSLATED WITH NOTES BY CHRISTINE DONOUGHERINTRODUCTION BY ROBERT TOMBS
“Donougher’s translation is a magnificent achievement. It reads easily, sometimes racily, and Hugo’s narrative power is never let down….[An] almost flawless translation, which brings the full flavour of one of the greatest novels of the 19th century to new readers in the 21st.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK)PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 1,456 PAGES • 978-0-14-310756-9 • $25.00

rich in atmosphere and setting.” —The Glasgow Review of Books
