Here is a book as joyous and painful, as mysterious and memorable, as childhood itself. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings captures the longing of lonely children, the brute insult of bigotry, and the wonder of words that can make the world right. Maya Angelou&rsquo;s debut memoir is a modern American classic beloved worldwide. &#160; Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a small Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local &ldquo;powhitetrash.&rdquo; At eight years old and back at her mother&rsquo;s side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age&mdash;and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns that love for herself, the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors (&ldquo;I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare&rdquo;) will allow her to be free instead of imprisoned. &#160; Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. &#160; &ldquo;I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity.&rdquo;&mdash;James Baldwin From the Hardcover edition.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou, read by Maya Angelou

Introduction by Lorenzo Carcaterra &#160; A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas&rsquo;s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dant&egrave;s, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, &ldquo;I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.&rdquo; &#160; INCLUDES A MODERN LIBRARY READING GROUP GUIDE Available for purchase at: <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearch?term=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo&entity=audiobook&at=11l3IH&ct=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo-DN-1-9781415912218">Apple - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?url=http://www.audible.com/search?advsearchKeywords=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo+Alexandre+Dumas&source_code=COMA0213WS031709&SID=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo-DN-1-9781415912218">Audible - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2665379-11117375?SID=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo-DN-1-9781415912218&url=http://www.audiobooks.com/search/book/The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo">audiobooks.com - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.downpour.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo">downpour - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a><a href="http://www.qksrv.net/click-2665379-10273919?SID=The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo-DN-1-9781415912218&url=http://www.emusic.com/listen/#/search/book/The+Count+of+Monte+Cristo">eMusic - Audiobook (Downloadable format)</a>

Alexandre Dumas The Three Musketeers

In The Heart of a Woman, Maya Angelou leaves California with her son, Guy, to move to New York. There she enters the society and world of black artists and writers, reads her work at the Harlem Writers Guild, and begins to take part in the struggle of black Americans for their rightful place in the world. In the meantime, her personal life takes an unexpected turn. She leaves the bail bondsman she was intending to marry after falling in love with a South African freedom fighter, travels with him to London and Cairo, where she discovers new opportunities. The Heart of a Woman is filled with unforgettable vignettes of such renowned people as Billie Holiday and Malcom X, but perhaps most importantly chronicles the joys and the burdens of a black mother in America and how the son she has cherished so intensely and worked for so devotedly finally grows to be a man.
