His works were extraordinary bestsellers for their era, achieving fame both here and abroad. Now, for the first time in over twenty-five years, The Library of America offers a full-scale literary portrait of America’s greatest popular poet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are the poems that created an American mythology: Evangeline in the forest primeval, Hiawatha by the shores of Gitche Gumee, the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the wreck of the Hesperus, the village blacksmith under the spreading chestnut tree, the strange courtship of Miles Standish, the maiden Priscilla and the hesitant John Alden; verses like “A Psalm of Life” and “The Children’s Hour,” whose phrases and characters have become part of the culture. Here as well, along with the public antislavery poems, are the sparer, darker lyrics—\"The Fire of Drift-Wood,\" “Mezzo Cammin,” “Snow-Flakes,” and many others—that show a more austere aspect of Longfellow’s poetic gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErudite and fluent in many languages, Longfellow was endlessly fascinated with the byways of history and the curiosities of legend. As a verse storyteller he had no peer, whether in the great book-length narratives such as \u003ci\u003eEvangeline\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Song of Hiawatha\u003c\/i\u003e (both included in full) or the stories collected in \u003ci\u003eTales of a Wayside Inn\u003c\/i\u003e (reprinted here in a generous selection). His many poems on literary themes, such as his moving homages to Dante and Chaucer, his verse translations from Lope de Vega, Heinrich Heine, and Michelangelo, and his ambitious verse dramas, notably \u003ci\u003eThe New England Tragedies\u003c\/i\u003e (also complete), are remarkable in their range and ambition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a special feature, this volume restores to print Longfellow’s novel \u003ci\u003eKavanagh\u003c\/i\u003e, a study of small-town life and literary ambition that was praised by Emerson as an important contribution to the development of American fiction.

But David's upward mobility takes a decidedly strange turn when a billionaire film buff named Philip Fleck barges into his life, proposing a very curious collaboration. David takes the bait, and finds he has inadvertently entered a Faustian Pact, one that results in an express ride to the lower depths of the Hollywood jungle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-From the publisher.\u003c\/p\u003e"}
