In 1856, Paul Du Chaillu ventured into the African jungle in search of a mythic beast, the gorilla. After wild encounters with vicious cannibals, deadly snakes, and tribal kings, Du Chaillu emerged with 20 preserved gorilla skins—two of which were stuffed and brought on tour—and walked smack dab into the biggest scientific debate of the time: Darwin's theory of evolution. Quickly, Du Chaillu's trophies went from objects of wonder to key pieces in an all-out intellectual war. With a wide range of characters, including Abraham Lincoln, Arthur Conan Doyle, P.T Barnum, Thackeray, and of course, Charles Darwin, this is a one of a kind book about a singular moment in history.

A beast shaped like a man exits a freight train in New York. He barely knows why he is there or from where he came. He has one goal this night, and that is to survive one more day in a world of hostility ruled by conspiracy and malice. He is Reborn, driven by hunger, his need to kill the human herd, and by fear of the masters of this city. His only choice is fealty, the initiation simple: travel to a foreign land, and pay a hermit for his past. But in the spiderweb of politics nothing is easy, nothing is straightforward. Once you are a pawn of the system there is no way back. The only chance for freedom is the other side of the board, in a game played for the planet.Of Beasts and Men is a standalone novel. It is part of the Last Lullabies universe.

Did possessing and killing amount to the same thing deep within the dark recesses of the human beast? La Bete humaine (1890), is one of Zola's most violent and explicit works. On one level a tale of murder, passion and possession, it is also a compassionate study of individuals derailed by atavistic forces beyond their control. Zola considered this his `most finely worked' novel, and in it he powerfully evokes life at the end of the Second Empire in France, where society seemed to be hurtling into the future like the new locomotives and railways it was building. While expressing the hope that human nature evolves through education and gradually frees itself of the burden of inherited evil, he is constantly reminding us that under the veneer of technological progress there remains, always, the beast within. This new translation captures Zola's fast-paced yet deliberately dispassionate style, while the introduction and detailed notes place the novel in its social, historical, and literary context.
