Beschreibung

In "A Letter to a Gentleman in the Country, from His Friend in London," the anonymous author masterfully delves into the complexities of 18th-century British society, presenting a rich tapestry of social commentary and philosophical musings. The text, structured as a personal correspondence, employs an epistolary style that allows for an intimate exploration of class disparity, urbanization, and shifting moral landscapes of the time. The letter serves both as a critique and celebration of contemporary life, revealing the tension between rural ideals and urban realities, while engaging readers in a dialogue about individual and collective identity amidst societal change. The anonymity of the author adds a layer of intrigue to this work, suggesting a deliberate distancing from personal identity and inviting readers to focus solely on the ideas presented. The period of authorship likely corresponds with significant political and social upheaval in Britain, prompting a reflection on the nature of friendship, obligation, and the responsibilities of the individual in a rapidly evolving world. This context may have influenced the author's perspective, urging a broader discourse on the socio-political issues of the day. Readers interested in the intersection of personal letters and social critique will find this work both engaging and thought-provoking. It serves as a vital glimpse into the 18th-century mindset, resonating with modern concerns about social structures and personal connections. "A Letter to a Gentleman in the Country" is not only a historical artifact but also a relevant commentary that invites reflection on the enduring complexities of human relationships.

    A GRAND HISTORICAL ADVENTURE PITTING TWO WARRIOR CASTES AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. 
    They set sail from Norway, two swift-moving longships and their handpicked crews, following the route navigated by the legendary Leif Ericson. But for young shipmaster Nils Thorsson and his fellow Norsemen the real journey begins when they push on into the uncharted continent of Vinland. 
    There the explorers revel in the chance to penetrate a virgin land – until they trespass on the grounds of a primitive people who have seen enough of the light-hairs' cruelty to believe they are too dangerous to ignore. In one swift dawn raid, they deal with the invaders by letting go a swarm of fiery arrows. Only three men from the sailing party escape: the intrepid Nils Thorsson, the hardened seaman Svenson, and an enigmatic native guide called Odin. Now, stranded in the wilderness with their one-eyed guide, Thomson and Svenson know that to survive they must master the ways of war, of the hunt – and of a proud and fearless people. 
    “A mythically powerful story of the earliest European exploration of North America. Runestone is Don Coldsmith’s finest work to date.” – Kathleen O’Neal Gear and W. Michael Gear, authors of Flight of The Hawk.

    In a bloody, brutal raid, Abbot Blathmac is slain on the steps of his monastery for refusing to give away the location of the sacred relics of St Columba, the missionary who first brought Christianity to Scotland. Following a night of rampage and mayhem, one Viking wakes up the next morning to find himself alone, hungover, and abandoned by his crew mates. He can't swim, there are no boats, and the only surviving monk on the island has taken his sword. With only his wits, he must survive long enough not only to rejoin his Viking comrades, but also to find the location of the elusive relics that brought him here in the first place. 
     
     
     
    Rooted in the real history of Iona and its early monks, Columba's Bones is an utterly unique and thrilling book, exploring the clash of early Christianity and paganism, and expanding into a sharp, witty meditation on philosophy, redemption, shame, violence, love, transcendence, and reality.
