Dear Reader,
The pandemic has affected all of us in different ways, and we enter 2022 with the renewed
hope that we can soon return to some kind of normality. Reading is certainly one the greatest
and most reliable comforts during these turbulent times, and we are delighted to present to
you our usual blend of poetry, classics and children’s books from around the world.
Our Evergreen list will see the publication of one of the landmarks of world literature,
Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, in a brand-new translation by Roger Cockrell, as
well as Edith Wharton’s masterpiece, The House of Mirth, and Sinclair Lewis’s enduringly
popular satire set in the Roaring Twenties, Babbitt.
Our list of Russian classics continues to grow with the publication of Ivan Goncharov’s The
Frigade Pallada – an ‘immortal’ book, in the words of Mikhail Bulgakov – a new collection
of Chekhov’s short fiction, Small Fry and Other Stories, and a dual-language edition of four
tales in verse by Ivan Turgenev: Parasha and Other Poems.
Three ambitious editorial projects will come to fruition this year: the complete fiction
works of Virginia Woolf, the entire canon of Sherlock Holmes stories and novels, and a
four-volume, dual-language edition of Alexander Pushkin’s lyrical poems.
As for our Calder list, we are delighted to reissue Alain Robbe-Grillet’s trailblazing
screenplay Last Year at Marienbad, accompanied by photographs from the iconic film
directed by Alain Resnais, winner of the Golden Lion at the 1961 Venice Film Festival.
Finally, we are delighted to publish one of the most beloved stories ever written, The
Adventures of Pinocchio, beautifully translated by Stephen Parkin, thoughtfully illustrated
by Peter Bailey and accompanied by extra material for young readers.

SIMPLICIUS SIMPLICISSIMUS
By H.J.C. Grimmelshausen
Simplicius Simplicissimus – the towering achievement of H.J.C.
von Grimmelshausen, one of the earliest novelists in the German
language – charts the adventures of its hero, Simplicius, through
the horrors of battle, murder, fire and famine, offering an invaluable
eyewitness account of the Thirty Years War and showing how
humanity can, in the end, triumph over brutality.

GREEN HENRY
By Gottfried Keller
Written between 1846 and 1855, Keller’s poetic, semi-autobiographical

novel draws on the author’s own youth, artistic studies and development
as a man, as well as providing a comprehensive portrait of his country
and his times. Green Henry is one of the most important novels in
European literature, and undoubtedly the greatest masterpiece of
fiction by a Swiss writer.

THE LAST LETTERS OF
JACOPO ORTIS
U go Foscolo
Said to be based on the tragic real-life story of the Ital-

ian student Girolamo Ortis, and suffused with the au-
thor’s own experiences, Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis is
a masterly prose work by one of Italy’s most celebrated
poets, and perhaps the greatest Italian novel of the Ro-
mantic period.

Nikolai Gogol
Often quoted as Russian literature’s greatest comedy, The

Government Inspector is a trenchant satire of the corruption,
greed and stupidity of petty officialdom, and the crowning
achievement of Gogol’s skills as a playwright.

Alain Robbe-Grillet
with an introduction by the author and black and white photos from the film
The director Alain Resnais was already famous for films such as Hiroshima,
Mon Amour when he asked Alain Robbe-Grillet – the author of several
seminal novels, including Jealousy and The Voyeur, and the leader of the
Nouveau Roman school – to write a script for him. The result was Last Year
at Marienbad, a film that, as well as winning the Golden Lion at the 1961
Venice Film Festival, has enthralled the critics, fascinated the public and be-
come one of the greatest cult classics of modern cinema.

DEAD  FINGERS TALK: THE RESTORED TEXT

William S. Burroughs
CALDER • 38
with an introduction by Prof. Oliver Harris, Keele University
First published in 1963 and representing Burroughs’s literary breakthrough in the UK, Dead Fin-
gers Talk is, in the words of Burroughs scholar Oliver Harris, “a prophetic work of haunting
power,” a unique experiment in writing that has for too long been overlooked. Combining new
material with rearranged selections from Naked Lunch and his cut-up novels The Soft Machine
and The Ticket That Exploded, the book is a fascinating precursor to remix and mash-up forms in
art and music, which owe much to Burroughs’s influence.
Paperback • 288 pp This newly restored edition of Dead Fingers Talk, based on the novel’s archival manuscripts, will
£9.99 • ISBN 9780714550015 delight all Burroughs fans and lovers of experimental literature.

ALMA JUNIOR • 40
It is late August 1939: Britain is on the brink of war, and preparations are under
way to evacuate London’s children to the countryside. When twelve-year-old
Tilly and her best friend Rosy find out that they will not be able to take their
beloved dog and cat with them – and that, even worse, their pets will, along
with countless other animals, be taken to the vet to be put down – they decide

to take action. The two girls come up with the idea of hiding them in a derelict
hut in the woods and, when other children find out and start bringing their rabbits, guinea pigs
and hamsters, their secret den turns into an emergency zoo.
Inspired by real events during the Second World War, Miriam Halahmy’s novel is a touching tale
of courage, resourcefulness and camaraderie in desperate times, as well as a stirring defence of
animal welfare.

Alma Junior’s series of illustrated classics includes some of
the greatest books ever written for younger readers, as well
as new translations of unjustly neglected international
works. Our aim is to give our list an international feel and
offer young readers the opportunity to connect with other cul-
tures and literatures – this applies not only to the titles we choose
but also to the illustrators we commission – so that we can
bring a bit of novelty into the canon of British children’s lit-
erature. All Alma Junior Classics contain extra material for
young readers, including a profile of the author, a section on
the book, a list of characters, a glossary and a test-yourself quiz.
THE ADVENTURES OF PIPÌ THE PINK MONKEY

BY C ARLO COLLODI
TRANSLATED AND EXPANDED BY ALESSANDRO GALLENZI
WITH COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS BY AXEL SCHEFFLER
Collodi wrote this story immediately after Pinocchio, and the little monkey’s
adventures present clear similarities, both in terms of themes and characters,
with his more celebrated masterpiece. Incredibly, they also share some characters,
including a ten-year-old boy named Alfred who was once a wooden puppet.
Pipì isn’t like his four brothers or the other young monkeys living in the forest
of Hullabaloo: he has bright-pink fur, a mischievous character and a rebellious

streak that lands him into all sorts of scrapes. In this story, an expanded version of
Collodi’s original tale, we see him lose his tail to an ancient crocodile, end up as a
valet to a young master, fall into the hands of flying bandits and become emperor
of a tribe of apes.

PINOCCHIO
BY C ARLO COLLODI
NEW TRANSLATION BY STEPHEN PARKIN
AND ILLUSTRATIONS BY PETER B AILEY
The story of a naughty wooden puppet who has a penchant for lying and
dreams of becoming a real boy, The Adventures of Pinocchio has entered our
collective imagination and fascinated generations of young and adult readers
since its first publication in 1883. Part fable, part coming-of-age novel, part
cautionary tale, Pinocchio’s rollicking exploits through an unforgiving and often
incomprehensible world – populated by unforgettable characters such as the
Talking Cricket, Candlewick, Mangiafuoco and the Fairy with Turquoise Hair
– have had a profound impact on our culture and attained universal significance
as a mirror of the human condition.
