Pulitzer Prize-winning cultural critic Margo Jefferson invites us into "Negroland," a self-defined enclave of Black America where privilege and discrimination intertwine. Born into Chicago's upper-crust Black society—her father a pioneering pediatrician, her mother a prominent socialite—Jefferson recounts a life shaped by the rigid expectations and paradoxical realities of an elite that meticulously cultivated achievement, invulnerability, and comportment, all while navigating the fraught landscape of race in America.

From generations of free Black forebears who amassed fortunes, this insulated world of exclusive networks and stringent evaluations—where skin color and hair texture were scrutinized alongside academic prowess—positioned itself as a "third race." Jefferson brilliantly chronicles her journey through this rarefied existence, reckoning with its psychological and moral contradictions against the backdrop of seismic historical shifts: the Civil Rights Movement, the rise of feminism, and the enduring myth of a post-racial society.

At once celebratory and elegiac, provocative and profound, Negroland is a deeply felt meditation on race, sex, class, and American culture. It is a testament to the grace of perseverance, even amidst heart-wrenching despair.

From international bestselling author Ken Follett, The Evening and the Morning is a thrilling prequel to The Pillars of the Earth, an epic journey of ambition and rivalry, death and birth, love and hate, that reveals where the Kingsbridge story begins.

In the darkest depths of Nazi concentration camps, psychiatrist Viktor Frankl discovered a profound truth: even when stripped of everything, we retain the freedom to choose our attitude and find meaning in suffering. Man's Search for Meaning is Frankl's unforgettable account of his years in Auschwitz and other camps, a harrowing yet ultimately inspiring exploration of the human will to survive and the importance of purpose in life.

More than a memoir, this book introduces logotherapy, Frankl's revolutionary approach to psychotherapy. Challenging Freudian notions, logotherapy posits that our primary drive is not pleasure, but the search for meaning. Through compelling stories and insightful analysis, Frankl demonstrates how we can all find significance and a reason to live, even in the face of unimaginable adversity.

A timeless classic that has sold millions of copies and continues to resonate with readers around the world, Man's Search for Meaning offers a powerful message of hope, resilience, and the enduring human spirit. It is a call to embrace responsibility, discover our unique purpose, and find meaning in every moment, regardless of the obstacles we face.
