Sinopse

In "Reed Anthony, Cowman: An Autobiography," Andy Adams presents a vivid narrative that immerses readers into the rugged world of cattle ranching in the American West during the late 19th century. Employing a straightforward yet evocative literary style, Adams combines authenticity with rich detail, depicting the trials and triumphs of his protagonist, Reed Anthony. This semi-autobiographical work serves not only as a personal account but also as a cultural document, reflecting the challenges of ranch life, the relationship between humans and nature, and the transformative power of the American landscape in post-Civil War society. Andy Adams, born in 1870, lived through the rise of cattle ranching and its cultural significance in the United States. His firsthand experiences as a cowboy and ranch manager enabled him to portray the creeds and characters of the era with remarkable insight and fidelity. Drawing on his own life and the social realities of his time, Adams seeks to honor the rugged dignity of those who shaped the American frontier, blending historical accuracy with compelling storytelling. For readers interested in Western literature, "Reed Anthony, Cowman" stands as a quintessential text that delves into the heart of cowboy culture and the struggles of frontier life. This engaging autobiography is highly recommended for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of America's pastoral legacy and the indomitable spirit of its pioneers.

    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.

    Published posthumously in December 1817, Persuasion was Jane Austen's final completed work before her death in July 1817.  It has delighted readers ever since. It is a historical romance, which delves into themes of love, social class, and individual agency. It revolves around the life of Anne Elliot who was persuaded when she was 19 years old, to break off her engagement with Frederick Wentworth, a promising, though relatively poor young lieutenant in the Royal Navy.  
    Lonely and unloved by her father and older sister, and considered of little consequence by her married sister Mary, Anne leads a dull life. However, after the naval war ends, Frederick Wentworth returns to England having earned prestige and fortune. Seven years have now passed. But has Anne gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her own future? And do her ties to Captain Wentworth remain unbroken? 
    In this delightful audiobook, all 24 chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins. Her bright and energetic performance expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. And her attention to detail, her literary background, and her commitment to auditory excellence, make this a captivating listen.  
    This is the fourth audiobook in the Neworld Classics Collection. 
    Published by Neworld Books Limited.  
    Soundtrack written and produced by Jean Miles Carter.

    A raw, moving and uplifting memoir about courage, resilience and the transformative power of love, from one of Australia's most captivating personalities 
    'Powerful, heartbreaking and beautiful ... a story of incredible triumph fuelled by love and compassion' Osher Gunsberg 
    'Brooke Blurton is an icon for people of all generations and backgrounds. I love seeing her star shine.' Clementine Ford 
      
    My story is about the one thing that I never went without. Love. Big love, that filled me up and made me feel like there was a future for me. The kind of love that's unconditional, and that lasts across time and space ... 
    From the moment Brooke Blurton appeared on Australian television, she dazzled audiences with her authenticity, self-knowledge, generosity and honesty. As a proud young Noongar-Yamatji woman, Brooke's connection to her culture and country is deep, and as an openly queer woman, she knows that love is simply love. Most of all Brooke knows the importance of family, and the uplifting power of unconditional connection. 
    But behind the public persona Brooke presents to the world is a story of epic proportions and awe-inspiring resilience - she had to grow up fast from a very young age, surviving an extremely challenging childhood and youth, and overcoming the shocking legacy of intergenerational trauma, abuse and homelessness. She's also had to defy labels and perceptions about who she is, and her worth, all her life. 
    But through it all, Brooke didn't just survive, she found her voice and thrived, and in this raw, heartbreaking, often funny and ultimately life-affirming memoir, Brooke lays her journey bare about how she refused to allow the past to define her and reclaimed her own identity - and realised the power of love, for herself, for her family, and her community.
