Top Sellers in Western Literature
Lolita
by Vladimir Nabokov
Lolita is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th Century. The cultural influence of Lolita cannot be understated, and numerous editions have been printed since 1955. The book has been made into movies, plays, and has sparked countless conversations about relationships and the nature of obsession. Even the covers of the later editions have sparked controversy, as they feature potentially suggestive depictions of the famous "nymphet". Unsurprisingly, Lolita is often at the top of banned...

Gone With the Wind
by Margaret Mitchell
Margaret Mitchell only published one complete novel, but it was quite the book - Gone With the Wind earned her the Pulitzer Prize in 1937 and National Book Award for 1936. The epic romance tale set in and around Atlanta, Georgia during the American Civil War has remained a bestseller, even before the equally popular film starring Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh was made in 1939.
Another Country
by James Baldwin
Published in 1962, this is an emotionally intense novel of love, hatred, race and liberal America in the 1960s. Set in Greenwhich Village, Harlem and France, ANOTHER COUNTRY tells the story of the suicide of jazz-musician Rufus Scott and the friends who search for an understanding of his life and death, discovering uncomfortable truths about themselves along the way.
Desert Of the Heart
by Jane Rule
Desert of the Heart is a 1964 lesbian-themed novel written by Jane Rule. The story was adapted loosely into the 1985 film Desert Hearts, directed by Donna Deitch. The book was originally published in hardback by Macmillan Canada. It was one of the very few novels that addressed lesbianism that was published in hardback form; most books during this period with female homosexuality as a topic were considered lesbian pulp fiction until 1969.
Pigs Have Wings
by P G Wodehouse
Pigs Have Wings is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, which first appeared as a serial in Collier's Weekly between August 16 and September 20 1952. It was first published as a book in the United States on October 16 1952 by Doubleday & Company, New York, and in the United Kingdom on October 31 1952 by Herbert Jenkins, London. It is the seventh novel set at the charming Blandings Castle.

Rosshalde
by Hermann Hesse
Mass-market Bantam pbk. edition from the 1970s. The pages are a bit yellowed, but this is still a quite readable copy, intact and no underlining to text. The real attraction of this series, in any case, is the William Edwards cover art. Some minor soiling and slight rippling, a bit of creasing at edges, and a crease down spine, name of a former owner in marker written along top of text block. The accompanying photo is of the actual copy.
