The Koran

TRANSLATED BY MARK CARLYON; INTRODUCTION BY LILIA MORITZ SCHWARCZ

Yet somehow each of his ventures ends in ridicule and disaster, and his dreams lead to his undoing.

RA YESHÉ SENGÉ The All-Pervading Melodious Drumbeat The Life of Ra Lotsawa

TRANSLATED BY RONALD WILKS; INTRODUCTION BY PAMELA DAVIDSON

TRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY BRYAN J. CUEVAS

Arguably the finest Russian novel to emerge from the Symbolist movement, this blackly comic classic about a provincial schoolteacher’s descent into sadism, arson, and murder paints a grotesque portrait of a spiritually bankrupt society.

This spirited new translation of an essential sacred text of Tibetan Buddhism recounts the life of Ra Lotsawa Dorjé Drak, a colorful and controversial 11th-century figure, and offers a rare look at magic and sorcery in the Buddhist tradition.

For the first time, Schönwerth’s Bavarian fairy tales, lost until a few years ago when his manuscripts were discovered in a German municipal archive, are available in English. Recorded with minimal literary embellishment, these more than seventy stories bring us closer to the oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted. “Schönwerth’s tales have a compositional fierceness and energy rarely seen in stories gathered by the Brothers Grimm or Charles Perrault.”—The New Yorker

“A wonderful blend of wit, political perspicuity, and exuberant comic invention….Randall’s admirable new translation now makes [this classic] available in all its…glory…. This is a humane piece of fiction, funny and wise, but it is also a candid, astute account of what it feels like to combine lofty patriotic illusions about a People with a realistic view of how ignoble and mistaken people generally are.”—The Times Literary Supplement (UK) PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 928 PAGES • 978-0-14-139166-3 • $25.00

The Sad End of Policarpo Quaresma

The Koran

TRANSLATED BY MARK CARLYON; INTRODUCTION BY LILIA MORITZ SCHWARCZ

This Brazilian masterpiece about a quixotic, patriotic civil servant presents a satirical portrayal of a country caught in a violent clash between sanity and madness. Full of schemes to improve his homeland, Policarpo Quaresma petitions for Brazil’s national language to be changed and offers to help suppress a military revolt. Yet somehow each of his ventures ends in ridicule and disaster, and his dreams lead to his undoing.

FYODOR SOLOGUB The Little Demon

RA YESHÉ SENGÉ The All-Pervading Melodious Drumbeat The Life of Ra Lotsawa

TRANSLATED BY RONALD WILKS; INTRODUCTION BY PAMELA DAVIDSON

TRANSLATED WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES BY BRYAN J. CUEVAS

Arguably the finest Russian novel to emerge from the Symbolist movement, this blackly comic classic about a provincial schoolteacher’s descent into sadism, arson, and murder paints a grotesque portrait of a spiritually bankrupt society.

This spirited new translation of an essential sacred text of Tibetan Buddhism recounts the life of Ra Lotsawa Dorjé Drak, a colorful and controversial 11th-century figure, and offers a rare look at magic and sorcery in the Buddhist tradition.

For the first time, Schönwerth’s Bavarian fairy tales, lost until a few years ago when his manuscripts were discovered in a German municipal archive, are available in English. Recorded with minimal literary embellishment, these more than seventy stories bring us closer to the oral tradition in which fairy tales are rooted. “Schönwerth’s tales have a compositional fierceness and energy rarely seen in stories gathered by the Brothers Grimm or Charles Perrault.”—The New Yorker
