Description: When L.A. entertainment lawyer Harry Addison gets the call that his brother Danny has been killed in a bus explosion in Italy, he rushes to Rome to bring the body back home. But, Harry is about to discover how difficult and dangerous that seemingly simple task will be. At the Rome airport, Harry is informed that Danny is suspected of murdering the Cardinal Vicar of Rome, one of the Pope's closest advisors. Moreover, Harry is accused of being an accomplice. Harry Addison is blindsided as he becomes entangled in a deadly insider-plot of apocalyptic proportions. The body Harry is asked to identify is not Danny after all. Harry's search for his brother leads him to a megalomaniac within the Catholic Church - the cardinal closest to the Pope himself - who conspires to rebuild the Holy Roman Empire by using mass murder to force the conversion of China to Catholicism. Harry finds himself faced with an almost impossible duel mission: to find Danny, and to save the world from this unspeakable evil. Day of Confession is narrated by Tony Award-winning actor Joe Mantegna.

Description: Mole is happy with his life until, one day, in the middle of spring-cleaning, he emerges from his hole at Mole End and starts meandering around the English countryside. Everything is new for the simple but stalwart Mole. Never before has he seen a river, taken a boat ride, or encountered the woods.
But this is nothing compared to what awaits him when he gets tangled up in the escapades of the indomitable Mr. Toad, the society-hating Badger of Wild Wood, and the easy-going Water Rat! Motorcars, gypsies, jailbreaks, and a weasel rebellion are all in store for these intrepid animals. Beyond mischievous life adventures, the story conveys the typical turn of 20th-century life in Britain and the struggle between the noisy, common way and the more genteel life.

Description: The devastating US atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki not only brought World War II to an end, but effectively gave birth to the Cold War. The postwar world would thereafter be marked by the fragile relationship of two superpowers with opposing ideologies: the United States and the Soviet Union.
For forty-five years, these two superpowers would vie for supremacy in world politics. The Cold War, defined by events such as the Cuban Missile Crisis, turmoil in the Third World, and the arms race, held the potential for an apocalyptic confrontation that could have spelled doom for the human race. Understanding the Cold War, with all of its far-reaching, global implications, is absolutely essential to our understanding of the history of the second half of the twentieth century and beyond.

Description: "Ten days after the war ended, my sister Laura drove a car off a bridge." Thus begins The Blind Assassin, Margaret Atwood's new novel.
Laura Chase's older sister Iris, married at 18 to a politically prominent industrialist but now poor and 82, is living in Port Ticonderoga, a town dominated by their once-prosperous family before the First War. While bewailing her unreliable body and deriding those who try to help her, Iris reflects on her far from exemplary life and her perilous times, but in particular on the events surrounding her sister's tragic early death. Chief among these was the publication of The Blind Assassin, a novel which earned the dead Laura Chase a dollop of notoriety as well as a cult following: as Iris says, she herself lives "in the long shadow cast by Laura". Sexually explicit for its time and place, The Blind Assassin describes a risky affair in the turbulent '30s between a wealthy young woman and a left-leaning man on the run.
