Sinopsis

In "The Award of Justice; Or, Told in the Rockies: A Pen Picture of the West," A. Maynard Barbour crafts a vivid portrayal of the rugged landscapes and complex social fabric of the American West, particularly during the late 19th century. This narrative intertwines personal anecdotes with allegorical tales, presenting a rich tableau of frontier life marked by both hardship and justice. Barbour's literary style, characterized by its expressive descriptions and nuanced character development, invites readers into the psyche of individuals navigating the challenges and triumphs of Western existence. The book stands as a historical document, reflecting the zeitgeist of its era while simultaneously examining themes of morality and human resilience against a backdrop of natural beauty and untamed wilderness. A. Maynard Barbour was a prominent figure in American literature, whose own experiences as a traveler and observer of Western culture profoundly informed his writing. Raised in an era of rapid expansion and conflicting ideologies, Barbour's interest in social justice and equity is palpable throughout his work. His deep empathy for the struggles of the people around him, including Indigenous communities and settlers, crafted a narrative that seeks to elevate the complexity of human experience in the West. I highly recommend "The Award of Justice" to readers passionate about American history and literature. Barbour's eloquent storytelling not only captivates but also serves as an essential lens through which to understand the intricate dynamics of justice in a developing nation. This book is a compelling exploration for both casual readers and scholars of Western literature.

    Robert Barr was born in Glasgow, Scotland on the 16th September 1849.  Five years later the family emigrated to a farm near Muirkirk in Upper Canada.  
     
    His early years were uneventful as the family settled into their new lives and Barr began his education. 
     
    A career path as a teacher opened up for him and, by 1874, he had been appointed as headmaster at the Central School at Windsor.  Concurrently he also wrote travel and humourous articles for magazines.  Within two years their success in the regional periodicals encouraged him to change careers to become a reporter and columnist. 
     
    In August 1876, at age 27, he married Eva Bennett and they began a family. 
     
    A half decade later he was the exchange editor of the ‘Free Press’ but decided to relocate to London to establish an English edition and to write fiction, which both met with much success. 
     
    Over the years he was a prolific writer and in 1892, along with Jerome K Jerome, he established ‘The Idler’ magazine and, just after the turn of the century, became its sole proprietor. 
     
    Although a number of his crime novels and short stories are parodies on Sherlock Holmes and other best-selling detectives of the time, he also wrote short stories across a whole range of subjects and genres usually with intriguing ideas and many laced with wit and humour. 
     
    Robert Barr died at his home in Woldingham, Surrey of heart disease on the 21st October 1912.  He was 63.

    The graceful domes of Sacré Coeur, the imposing cathedral of Notre Dame, the breathtaking Tour Eiffel . . . Paris is overflowing with stunning architecture. Yet for Tabitha Knight, the humble building that houses the Cordon Bleu cooking school, where her friend Julia studies, is just as notable. Tabitha is always happy to sample Julia's latest creation and try to recreate dishes for her Grand-père and Oncle Rafe. 
     
     
     
    The legendary school also holds open demonstrations, where the public can see its master chefs at work. It's a treat for any aspiring cook—until one of the chefs pours himself a glass of wine from a rare vintage bottle—and promptly drops dead in front of Julia, Tabitha, and other assembled guests. It's the first in a frightening string of poisonings that turns grimly personal when cyanide-laced wine is sent to someone very close to Tabitha. 
     
      
     
    What kind of killer chooses such a means of murder, and why? Tabitha and Julia hope to find answers in order to save innocent lives—not to mention a few exquisite vintages—even as their investigation takes them through some of the darkest corners of France's wartime past . . .
