First published in 1993, The Virgin Suicides announced the arrival of a major new American novelist. In a quiet suburb of Detroit, the five Lisbon sisters—beautiful, eccentric, and obsessively watched by the neighborhood boys—commit suicide one by one over the course of a single year. As the boys observe them from afar, transfixed, they piece together the mystery of the family’s fatal melancholy, in this hypnotic and unforgettable novel of adolescent love, disquiet, and death. Jeffrey Eugenides evokes the emotions of youth with haunting sensitivity and dark humor and creates a coming-of-age story unlike any of our time. Adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Sofia Coppola, The Virgin Suicides is a modern classic, a lyrical and timeless tale of sex and suicide that transforms and mythologizes suburban middle-American life.

"Wang Ping's The Last Communist Virgin is a beauty of a collection. She has interwoven the earthiness of China and the harshness of immigrant life . . . to create a series of short stories that are at once pitiful, heartbreaking, funny, and deeply inspiring."--Lisa See, author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan From the restaurants of New York's Chinatown to the retail emporium of Bergdorf Goodman, and from remote Chinese military outposts to the streets of Beijing, the tremors of China's rapid economic and cultural growth can be felt. As the characters in these stories struggle to find their way, a young girl discovers love amidst a sea of angry Red Guards, émigrés navigate New York's relentless rat race, an ambitious businesswoman finds the meaning of success in her rival, and an old man returns to a Beijing he doesn't recognize on a mission to restore his son-in-law's flagging honor. Moving smoothly across political, cultural, and personal borders and between countries, continents, and languages, these stories open a window into the rapid transformations of an ancient culture and the soul's thirst for adventure and harmony in a quickly changing world. Wang Ping was born in Shanghai and grew up on a small island in the East China Sea. After three years spent farming in a mountain village commune, she attended Beijing University. In 1985 she left China to study in the United States, earning her PhD from New York University. She is the acclaimed author of the short story collection American Visa, the novel Foreign Devil, two poetry collections: Of Flesh & Spirit and The Magic Whip, and the cultural study Aching for Beauty: Footbinding in China. She now lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, and teaches at Macalester College. Visit her website at www.wangping.com.

The greatness of the future Saints! (“True Devotion to Mary” Series – Book 6)In his “True Devotion to Mary”, St. Louis-Marie de Montfort wrote: “The formation and the education of the great Saints who shall come at the end of the world are reserved for (Mary),” and, “I have said that this would come to pass particularly at the end of the world, and indeed presently, because the Most High with His holy Mother has to form for Himself great Saints, who shall surpass most of the other Saints in sanctity, as much as the cedars of Lebanon outgrow the little shrubs” [#47]. This timely, newly-translated book, the sixth in this series on the Marian spirituality of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, is the only one of its kind devoted to explaining this teaching of the Saint. Among other things, you will discover:• the list of signs preceding the end of the world and the coming of Christ• the remarkable resemblances between St. John the Evangelist and St. Louis-Marie• how the True Devotion is the weapon of choice in the hands of the children of the Virgin• the tactics of the devil to try to destroy the enmity God has established between the Woman and him• why to follow Mary is to follow Jesus faithfully• why the devil fears priests who live their consecration to MaryBlessed Pope John Paul II said: “It is from Montfort that I have taken my motto: “Totus tuus”. Someday I'll have to tell you Montfortians how I discovered De Montfort's “Treatise on True Devotion to Mary”, and how often I had to reread it to understand it.” Try this book series, the only one available on St. Louis-Marie's Marian spirituality, and save yourself some time.The first five books in this series on the “True Devotion to Mary” are "The Holy Slavery of the Admirable Mother of God", "Consecration to the Blessed Virgin according to St. Louis de Montfort", "Preparation for Consecration to the Most Blessed Virgin", "To Jesus through Mary", and "Preparation for Holy Communion with Mary in the Spirit of Blessed de Montfort".
