Synopsis

Readers venturing into The Essential Max Brand will find it an invaluable resource for exploring a multitude of narratives within a single tome. The anthology not only serves as a literary treasure trove teeming with insights and educational value but also as a catalyst for dialogue among diverse perspectives and storytelling techniques.

    Hemingway's Passions - His Women...

    Ernest Hemingway's passion was writing, and he was inspired by a lifetime of daring adventures and encouraged by the many women in his life. His masculine, adventurous spirit appealed to women of all ages, including four wives and a long list of legendary actresses, and he frequently transformed the women in his life into memorable fictional characters. 
     
     
     
    In 1950, Hemingway told Marlene Dietrich that he truly loved only five women. Who were these women and why did he love them? Some of them may have included his wives, but there were others too, among them Agnes von Kurowsky. Through quotations from his works and personal letters, Hemingway scholar Nancy W. Sindelar captures Hemingway's life and romantic adventures, revealing his own feelings about his romantic relationships and the ways his experiences with women appear in his literary works. 
     
     
     
    Much has been written about Hemingway, but to date no book has linked the women he loved to his written work. The stories of Hemingway's romantic relationships reveal not only the influence these women had on his writing but also his personal ambition, heartbreak, and literary triumphs and trials. Sindelar's provocative analyses of Hemingway's literature give fresh insight into the life of a legendary author, outdoorsman, adventurer, and lover.

    The History of Kings is vividly brought to life in this emotionally charged narrative of King Josiah and his contemporaries. Although the major portion of this novel centers upon the life and reign of King Josiah in particular, his grandfather King Manasseh, and father King Amon, are also vividly portrayed in the early chapters of this book to illustrate the conditions under which the child Prince Josiah matured and came of age along with many youthful life adventures and experiences that helped to mold him into the great King and leader of his people that he was. 
    While the Scriptural history of the Kings is honorably held to with nothing sugar-coated or glossed over, much of what history does not tell us is also realistically included in this account, (such as King Manasseh's prison sentence in Assyria), to create a seamlessly flowing storyline, complete with the customs and lifestyle of ancient Judah, the beauty of the land, and many unique surprises and gems of wisdom that you will surely find to be well worth your reading and or listening time. The uncompromising integrity and strength of character that King Josiah displayed during an age of vile corruption is a shining historical legacy that will encourage your faith to stand strong against the many challenges of our modern times.

    Pioneer, activist, environmentalist, poet. Ethel Haythornthwaite is virtually unknown, even in her home town of Sheffield – the UK's outdoor city – yet her tireless campaigning led to the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and the creation of the Peak District National Park, protecting a wild and varied landscape so many have fallen in love with. Founder of a local society to protect rural scenery in 1924, she went on to join the Council for the Preservation of Rural England (CPRE) and become its wartime director. Saviour of the beautiful Longshaw estate, her achievements also include establishing the first green belt in the UK.
    In Ethel, award-winning author Helen Mort explores the life of this countryside revolutionary who has been overlooked by history. Born into wealth yet frugal, ever restless but infinitely patient, widowed at twenty-two, independent and thoroughly ahead of her time, Ethel Haythornthwaite helped save the British countryside at a time when simply to be a woman was challenge enough.
    Having been given unrestricted access to Ethel's archive, including hundreds of meticulously written letters, in Ethel, Helen Mort has written letters to Ethel's memory and a paean to her legacy. The beauty and accessibility of the British countryside is the result of passionate campaigning during the inter- and post-war years by groundbreaking figures such as Ethel Haythornthwaite.

    Fancies Versus Fads

    I have strung these things together on a slight enough thread; but as the things themselves are slight, it is possible that the thread (and the metaphor) may manage to hang together. These notes range over very variegated topics and in many cases were made at very different times. They concern all sorts of things from lady barristers to cave-men, and from psycho-analysis to free verse. Yet they have this amount of unity in their wandering, that they all imply that it is only a more traditional spirit that is truly able to wander. The wild theorists of our time are quite unable to wander. When they talk of making new roads, they are only making new ruts. Each of them is necessarily imprisoned in his own curious cosmos; in other words, he is limited by the very largeness of his own generalization. The explanations of the Marxian must not go outside economics; and the student of Freud is forbidden to forget sex. To see only the fanciful side of these serious sects may seem a very frivolous pleasure—and I will not dispute that these are very frivolous criticisms. I only submit that this frivolity is the last lingering form of freedom.
