Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joan Thursday a Novel Uniform with a thousand sisters of the shop-counters, she was yet mysteriously different. Men looked twice in passing; after passing some turned to look again. Her face, tinted by the glow of the western sky, was by no means poor in native colour: a shade thin, its regular features held a promise, vague, fugitive, and provoking. Her hair was a brown which hardly escaped being ruddy, and her skin matched it, lacking alike the dusky warmth of the brune and the purity of the blonde. She was neither tall nor short, but seemed misleadingly smaller than she was in fact, thanks to the slightness of a body more stupidly nourished than under-nourished or immature. Her eyes were brown and large, and they were very beau tiful indeed when divorced from the vacancy of weary thinking.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joan Brotherhood: A Novel That might cost him Sixpence, a consideration he had known to affect him in odd times of his past. Now his rent-roll was eight or ten thousand a year; and yet the matters of to-day had no concern for him. Only for his weary mind he eternally sought the stimulant of the unexpected - a near futile quest for one of his experience. He battled his way forward, hardly knowing when he had entered the high town. The storm lashed at his ears, whipping the night into a blinding froth. It might have been a mountain pass he traversed - a gully fantastic with rocks that shaped out of the gloom like houses. A thrill of some ancient abandonment pricked him on. More, and worse! He seemed to be crying to himself. He could almost feel the nip of life on his heart again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book • BuzzFeed 50 Books We Can’t Wait to Read this Year • New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice • National Bestseller “Brilliant and incendiary.” — Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times Book Review "Stunning. . . . Yuknavitch understands that our collective narrative can either destroy or redeem us, and the outcome depends not just on who’s telling it, but also on who’s listening.” — O, The Oprah Magazine “[A] searing fusion of literary fiction and reimagined history and science-fiction thriller and eco-fantasy.” — NPR Books The bestselling author of The Small Backs of Children offers a vision of our near-extinction and a heroine—a reimagined Joan of Arc—poised to save a world ravaged by war, violence, and greed, and forever change history In the near future, world wars have transformed the earth into a battleground. Fleeing the unending violence and the planet’s now-radioactive surface, humans have regrouped to a mysterious platform known as CIEL, hovering over their erstwhile home. The changed world has turned evolution on its head: the surviving humans have become sexless, hairless, pale-white creatures floating in isolation, inscribing stories upon their skin. Out of the ranks of the endless wars rises Jean de Men, a charismatic and bloodthirsty cult leader who turns CIEL into a quasi-corporate police state. A group of rebels unite to dismantle his iron rule—galvanized by the heroic song of Joan, a child-warrior who possesses a mysterious force that lives within her and communes with the earth. When de Men and his armies turn Joan into a martyr, the consequences are astonishing. And no one—not the rebels, Jean de Men, or even Joan herself—can foresee the way her story and unique gift will forge the destiny of an entire world for generations. A riveting tale of destruction and love found in the direst of places—even at the extreme end of post-human experience—Lidia Yuknavitch’s The Book of Joan raises questions about what it means to be human, the fluidity of sex and gender, and the role of art as a means for survival.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Joan Haste It was no high-born lady to Whom these voices spoke in that appropriate spot, nor were the sorrows which Opened her ears to them either deep or poetical. To tell the truth, Joan Haste was but a village girl, or, to be more accurate, a girl who had spent most Of her life in a village. She was lovely in her own fashion, it is true, - but of this presently; and, through circumstances that shall be explained, She chanced to have enjoyed a certain measure of education, enough to awaken longings and to call forth visions that perhaps She would have been happier without. Moreover, although Fate had placed her humbly, Nature gave to her, together with the beauty of her face and form, a mind which, if a little narrow, certainly did not lack for depth, a considerable power of will, and more than her share of that noble dissatisfaction without which no human creature can rise in things spiritual or temporal, and'having which, no human creature can be happy.
