Langston Hughes, born in 1902, came of age early in the 1920s. In The Big Sea he recounts those memorable years in the two great playgrounds of the decade - Harlem and Paris. In Paris he was a cook and waiter in nightclubs. He knew the musicians and dancers, the drunks and dope fiends. In Harlem he was a rising young poet - at the center of the "Harlem Renaissance." Arnold Rampersad writes in his incisive new introduction to The Big Sea, an American classic: "This is American writing at its best...."

This stirring coming-of-age tale unfolds in 1930s rural Kansas. A poignant portrait of African-American family life in the early twentieth century, it follows the story of young Sandy Rogers as he grows from a boy to a man. We meet Sandy's mother, Annjee, who works as a housekeeper for a wealthy white family; his strong-willed grandmother, Hager; Jimboy, Sandy's father, who travels the country looking for work; Aunt Tempy, the social climber; and Aunt Harriet, the blues singer who has turned away from her faith.

Langston Hughes was only twenty-four when he published his debut collection of poetry, The Weary Blues. The poems included here blend vernacular speech and musical rhythms to offer a bracing perspective on the African American experience. Traversing a wide range of settings—including the jazz clubs of Harlem, expansive natural landscapes, and seaside taverns—Hughes’s voice as a poet ties these various places together.

In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview 86-year-old Cudjo Lewis. Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation's history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo's firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage 50 years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States. In 1931, Hurston returned to Plateau, the African-centric community three miles from Mobile.

Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching—yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.

Terrifying, comic, ribald and tragic, Sula is a work that overflows with life.

I throughly enjoyed this short story from Mr. Hughes. So much richness and details that bring me back to my own days in the church and memories. This one kept me glued to the headphones at every quiet moment. Highly recommended for your own quiet times, or that 5 hour flight!! Enjoy!!

An amazing spiritual story, well performed!
Having spent a season of my life in similar churches I identified with the quiet spiritual character who is vexed by moral pollution. There is something wonderful about a moral and spiritual life, and those that trample on that....it was a good story. I loved the singing. I loved the poetry of it!

Outstanding Narration
This story is timeless. It describes the light and shadowy elements within any society and offers hope that the former will prevail from their conflict.
Hughes masterfully gives dimension to distinct characters who interact in a realistic, yet strained way. He adds to that symbolism and foreshadow, which keep the reader/listener engaged throughout the telling.
More still, Myra Taylor's narration is marvelous. Her singing is wonderful, and she expertly transitions to and from it with remarkable grace. Between the harmony portions of the story, Taylor voices life into the characters and expresses each personality through their respective dialogue.
All together, this is a fine presentation.
