Captain Rogers - From their pens...

WW Jacobs

William Wymark Jacobs was born on 8th September 1863 in Wapping, East London.  
He was educated at a private school and then Birkbeck Literary and Scientific Institution, now part of the University of London. 
In 1879, Jacobs began work as a clerk in the civil service, in the Post Office Savings Bank.  In 1885 his first short story was published but it was not until almost the turn of the century that he would abandon his post office career to that as a full-time writer. By then he was a very popular author, his collections selling extremely well and with an excellent income. 
His best-known work is the macabre ‘The Monkey's Paw’ and he is also highly regarded for his ghost stories although much of his remaining short story output is streaked with humour.  His characters are immediately identifiable and we all know that life will take chunks out of them in no time at all.  
Jacobs married the noted suffragette Agnes Eleanor Williams in 1900 at West Ham, Essex. They went on to have two daughters and three sons as they settled down to life.  
By the outbreak of the First World War his literary output had declined and he now mainly spent his time rewriting his earlier stories for the stage.  In all he wrote 18 plays. 
W W Jacobs died on 1st September 1943 at Hornsey Lane, Islington in London. He was 79.

Todor Todorov Karagochev

Tatiana Todorova

The pages of the novel resurrect before the reader the events of a hundred years ago from 1912 to 1925 in the Balkans, in particular, in Bulgaria during the two Balkan wars, the echo of which was the Great War, which drew all countries and continents into its orbit and gave birth to a lost generation. Three wars led to dramatic events in Bulgaria: a coup d'état and the establishment of despotism, against which the heroes of the country rise to fight. Brave, fearless, daring, elusive, they defy the executioner's power and prepare the people for the uprising to overthrow the junta. The noble at heart and free spirited, they wage a heroic battle for freedom, risking their lives to save the life of another. It is a hymn to the beauty of nature of the Balkans. It is a wide panorama of life of the era and society. It is based on real events. It is dedicated to the memory of Alexander Stamboliysky, it is dedicated to the memory of all the freedom fighters of all the times and countries.

From Gaza to the White House - A...

Nadia Bilbassy

From Gaza to the White House, she carried the stories of people the world tried to forget.
Raised in Palestine, Nadia Bilbassy grew up in a place where beauty and hardship existed side by side—where family, memory, and resilience were woven into daily life, even as conflict pressed in from all directions. She learned early that people are always more than the circumstances surrounding them, and that outlook shaped everything that followed. Her life takes her on paths of love and tragedy that she couldn’t have imagined, but she still makes a choice: she will not be defined by grief, but will instead keep moving forward, carrying both sorrow and joy at once.
As a foreign correspondent, she builds a life on the front lines of global conflict, reporting from Africa and Southeast Asia while raising her children in the margins of instability. Her days are filled with the stories of war—rebel leaders, displaced families, lives upended by forces beyond their control—while her nights are grounded in the rituals of motherhood. She refuses to see anyone as a headline. Instead, she searches for the humanity in every story, recognizing in others the same love, fear, and longing that anchor her own life. Even in the most fractured places, she finds connection. When her journey takes her from war zones to the White House briefing room, she brings those stories with her.
This intensely personal memoir is set against the backdrop of some of the most consequential events of our time. At its heart it is a story of choosing joy in the face of unimaginable loss, refusing to let the world harden you, and engaging in the quiet, radical act of truly seeing people—fully, honestly, and with compassion—even when the world would rather look away.
