Sinopsis

In "Twentieth Century French Writers: Reviews and Reminiscences," A. Mary F. Robinson offers a rich, introspective exploration of the vibrant literary landscape of France in the twentieth century. Through a series of engaging essays, Robinson combines critical analysis and personal reflection, shedding light on the lives and works of influential authors such as Marcel Proust, Andr√© Gide, and Colette. Her elegant prose and keen insights not only situate these writers within their historical and cultural contexts but also reveal the intricate interplay between their personal experiences and literary achievements. This collection of reviews serves as both a homage and a critical evaluation, making significant contributions to the field of literary criticism while appealing to a broader audience interested in French literature. A. Mary F. Robinson was a defined voice in the realm of literary criticism, known for her acute sensitivity and passion for literature. Her familiarity with the French language and culture was enhanced by her time spent in France, which provided her with unique perspectives on the authors she discusses. Robinson'Äôs own literary background, coupled with her deep appreciation for the nuances of narrative, forged her ability to articulate the complexities of the literary figures she covers with grace and profundity. Robinson'Äôs work is essential reading for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of twentieth-century French literature. Scholars and enthusiasts alike will find her masterful reviews an alluring blend of critique and reminiscence that invites readers to not only revisit but also reimagine the works of some of France'Äôs most celebrated writers. This book is not just a collection of reviews; it is an invitation to engage with the rich tapestry of voices that have shaped modern literature.

    The Unholy Silence is a harrowing true account of one family’s descent into spiritual warfare after moving into a seemingly ordinary home in Idaho. What began as a fresh start quickly spiraled into a nightmare of ghostly apparitions, shattered mirrors, demonic voices, and eerie manipulations that targeted their children, faith, and sanity. 
    Told with raw honesty and emotional depth, this memoir follows the author—a devoted husband, father, and Catholic—as he battles unseen forces that twist reality, test his beliefs, and slowly dismantle the life he built. From a terrifying mockery of his daughter to unholy rituals discovered in the shadows, every chapter peels back another layer of haunting. 
    But perhaps the most chilling aspect of all is the silence—the silence of the Church, of friends, of reason—and the silence that falls when the attacks stop… after he gives up fighting. 
    This is not a tale of victory. This is a reckoning. 
    Perfect for readers of real-life paranormal encounters, spiritual memoirs, and psychological horror grounded in truth, The Unholy Silence will stay with you long after the final page.

    C. William Brady is an award-winning broadcaster whose efforts have contributed to the success of more than sixty radio stations in nine different states. His comedy routines and humorous songs have entertained thousands of people over the radio airwaves of stations in some of the largest cities in the United States, as well as millions worldwide via the internet. 
    This story is his recollection of events over the years that took place in the area he once called home, with the names of some of the communities and individuals altered slightly to protect their anonymity and alleged innocence. Any similarity to actual people, living or not, should be considered purely coincidental. 
    But the stories are all true!

    The inspirational story of the compassionate and wise animals of the Gentle Barn and how they became a therapeutic salve for countless guests—and mentors for all of us in how to live and die 
     
    In Cow Hug Therapy, Ellie Laks recounts the extraordinary journey that started with her first teacher, Buddha—not the religious figure, but a rescued miniature Hereford cow. One evening Buddha wrapped her neck around an exhausted and upset Ellie and transferred a singular form of healing and comfort with an incredible impact. Understanding that this was something to be shared with others, Ellie developed Cow Hug Therapy, a groundbreaking approach to emotional healing that has proved effective for trauma, illness, disabilities, addiction, grief, and stress. 
     
    This colorful and compelling narrative introduces the healing mavens of the barnyard, each with a unique story of being rescued from trauma and treated with love and respect. In their new role at Ellie’s Gentle Barn sanctuaries, these animals have transformed lives and ignited breakthroughs and newfound purpose for visitors including a young mother who lost her baby, a suicidal teenager, a wounded serviceman, an open-heart-surgery patient, and many more. A testament to empathy and the mission to heal animals, people, and the planet, Cow Hug Therapy serves as a beacon of hope for all seeking healing and connection. 
     
    “This book shows not only the power of Cow Hug Therapy with these wonderful creatures, but also their beautiful, individual personalities.”—Christina Applegate

    While he is probably best known as a novelist and short-story writer, Lawrence Block has produced a rich trove of nonfiction over the course of a sixty-year career. 
     
     
     
    Over the years, Block has written extensively for magazines and periodicals. Generally Speaking collects his philatelic columns from Linn's Stamp News, while his extensive observations of crime fiction, along with personal glimpses of some of its foremost practitioners, have won wide acclaim in book form as The Crime of Our Lives. Hunting Buffalo With Bent Nails is what he's got left over. 
     
     
     
    The title piece, originally published in American Heritage, recounts the ongoing adventure Block and his wife undertook, crisscrossing the United States and parts of Canada in their quixotic and exotic quest to find every "village, hamlet, and wide place in the road named Buffalo." Other travel tales share space with a remembrance of his mother, odes to New York, a disquisition on pen names and book tours, and, well, no end of bent nails not worth straightening. Where else will you find "Raymond Chandler and the Brasher Doubloon," an assessment of that compelling writer from a numismatic standpoint? Where else can you hear about Block's collection of old subway cars? Highly recommended.

    Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
     
    Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
     
    In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
     
    These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

    Loretta Lynn is a living legend. From walking around barefoot in clothing repurposed from flour sacks in rural Kentucky to becoming an icon with more awards than any other woman in country music, many may wonder just how Loretta Lynn paved this path for herself. While hard work, natural talent, and having certain people in her life surely contributed to her success, her story is so unique it seems as if it was written by fate.  
    A mother of six and now a grandmother to dozens, Lynn never lost sight of her values or what drove her. She had a calling to relay what was real and a desire to create a secure life for her family. She believes in horoscopes and is proudly an Aries; with her ambition and gifts, she could not be stopped. While Lynn is hesitant to call herself a feminist, her bravery and perseverance opened doors for many more women in country music. She also challenged stereotypes associated with the genre through living her beliefs about tolerance, honesty, and fairness. 
    This biography will explore the meaning and process behind some of her music and how the people and circumstances that shaped her led to her extensive list of awards and accolades. It will also seek to provide insight into how her world view, natural gifts, and personality traits drove her successes.
