A GUEST FOR THE NIGHT, by S. Y. Agnon. Israel's 1966 Nobel prizewinner spins a searching, unhurried tale about the eternal Wandering Jew, who turns up this time in Eastern Europe just before World War II.

TUNC, by Lawrence Durrell. Lush Mediterranean settings, evocative nature writing and ribald wit are the underpinnings of this exuberant novel about an omniscient computer and its inventor's ambiguous struggles for freedom.

THE SELECTED WORKS OF CESARE PAVESE.
