When Peter Hessler went to China in the late 1990s, he expected to spend a couple of peaceful years teaching English in the town of Fuling on the Yangtze River. But what he experienced - the natural beauty, cultural tension, and complex process of understanding that takes place when one is thrust into a radically different society - surpassed anything he could have imagined. Hessler observes firsthand how major events such as the death of Deng Xiaoping, the return of Hong Kong to the mainland, and the controversial consturction of the Three Gorges Dam have affected even the people of a remote town like Fuling. Poignant, thoughtful and utterly compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a place caught mid-river in time, much like China itself - a country seeking to understand both what it was and what it will one day become.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, small towns sprouted up along the banks of America's rivers. Through a year of changing seasons the reader is transported to the days when people's livelihoods were directly connected to the river. The life of the townsfolk is shown to be an accumulation of events both large and small, from a joyous Halloween parade to the frozen river in winter to the threat of damaging springtime floods. Children and adults alike will pour over these pages of intricate etchings, noticing the changes and happenings of day-to-day, season-to-season life lived along a river. As they did in Prairie Town, the Geiserts have once again created a stunning tribute to small-town America as it once was and, to an extent, still remains today.

Returning to his hometown of Rijeka, Croatia, to wrap things up after his grandmother's passing, Paul gets more than he expected in terms of inheritance-way more than just a stuffy old apartment downtown. The legacy of his grandmother's work as a krsnik-a traditional magic user tasked with keeping the thin line between the humans and the things that prey on them-falls on his shoulders, threatening to change everything he thought he knew about life, the city he left behind so long ago, and himself. As the line keeps getting thinner, it'll soon be up to Paul, with help from some unexpected (and witchy) places, to prove worthy of his legacy while fighting for the city's humanity, and trying not to lose his own along the way.

Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...sealed. This was done according to orders; captain and officers shut themselves into the vessel's cabin--and the birds did begin to sing. Of course they were badly stung. The country was scoured for the culprit but Hate had fled to the woods. During one January thaw some children were playing near the main road and Hate came along with a pair of new shoes. Taking his knife he cut a piece from each toe and heel, put them on and started to walk thro the slush and melting snow. When the curious children asked why he did it, he said: "Why, to let the water run out when it runs in, of course." In the ell chamber at the tavern were several straw beds. Also boxes of grain, some oats, and peas were stored. One day Hate sewed all of them, about forty bushels, into the straw ticks and ran away. The landlord's thirteen children were kept from mischief for some time sorting out the mixture. He came back not long after and when Mrs. Spearing asked him why he did it, he said: " Now, now, don't you worry about that, we'll have the garden of Eden and it will be a beautiful spot." Perhaps he was irresponsible, but we may also remember his good deeds; when he made his way to Belfast to warn the inhabitants of the coming of the British and saved their cattle; or of his long tramp to Hampden to warn the farmers to be on the look out. The last year of his life he was " bid off" to a new home where he died in June 1821, and the last rite his landlord could perform for him was to plant a tree on his grave. Among other taverns was the big house at the foot of ferry hill, a haunt of sailors and seamen; the Kemptons kept a hotel at the top of the same hill. At the lower village was the old Frankfort house kept by Major Hersey. At its...

Hayden Lowe may or may not have killed a man out west. No one seems to know why he's back in River Town, though his friend, Lillian Conley, is keeping a private journal full of clues. Will Captain JD Dawson lose his beloved sternwheeler, the Miss Jayne Marie, in a winner-takes-all bet? Julia Hubbard has a secret project, Andrew Wilson is plotting on the dusty streets of River Town, and what about that strange Dame Roxalana? There is more to Roxie than anyone is willing to say. The men in the coal mines around River Town seem to be developing a mysterious condition that no one can explain, yet everyone is whispering about it. Before all is said and done, each of these characters will intersect in unexpected ways. The resolutions are as suspenseful as they are satisfying. River Town is a collection of short stories set in 1890s West Virginia. The combined work of six different authors, the tales range from adventure to romance, from intrigue to fantasy. Each story stands alone, yet together they take readers to a time along the Kanawha River just after the Civil War when families were still struggling to recover and as the railroad was first making its way through the mountains. The river was the center of everything.

In turn-of-the-century Australia, Tim Shea, supports his young family by running a general store in a remote riverside town, where he finds the same the same hypocrisy and snobbery which made him emigrate from Ireland, and suffers a series of misfortunes which take him to the brink of disaster. Capturing the spirit of the times, this is the mesmerising tale of a flawed hero whose stubborn integrity is nearly his undoing.
