First to Fly
A remarkable story filled with dreamers, inventors, scoundrels and pioneering pilots, ""First to Fly"" recounts North Carolina's significant role in the early history of aviation. Beginning well before the Wright brothers' first powered flight in Devil Hill in 1903, North Carolinians laboured at the cutting edge of aviation technology from the late 1800s through World War I. North Carolina was a launching ground for real and imaginary ballooning adventures as early as 1789. Powered experiments, including what seems to have been America's first airplane, gained momentum in the late-19th century. Tar Heel mechanics and inventors also built a dirigible and, arguably, the world's first successful helicopter. Tom Parramore's account of the Wright brothers' experiments and turn-of-the-century Dare County provides new information on the crucial role of Outer Bankers in ensuring Wrights' success. Without their aid, he argues, it is unlikely that the miracle of flight would have been first achieved in 1903 - or in America. After 1903, growth in the new aviation industry, spurred by World War I, outpaced North Carolina's ability to play a major role. But the state produced some of the most notable airmen and women of the era, furnishing hundreds of pilots to the war effort.

Pedro Páramo
With an Introduction by Gabriel García MárquezA new translation by Douglas J. WeatherfordIn this stunning masterpiece of the surreal, Juan Preciado sets out on a strange quest, bound by a promise to his dying mother. Embarking down a parched and dusty road, Juan goes to seek his father, Pedro Páramo, from whom they fled many years ago.The ruined town of Comala is alive with whispers and shadows. Time shifts from one consciousness to another in a hypnotic flow of desires and memories, a world of ghosts dominated by the tyranny of the Páramo family. Womaniser, overlord and murderer, Juan's notorious father retains an eternal grip over Comala. Its barren and broken-down streets echo the voices of tormented spirits sharing the secrets of the past in an extraordinary chorus of sensory images, violent passions and unfathomable mysteries.
