Beschreibung

In "Pirate Tales from the Law," Arthur M. Harris presents an intriguing exploration of piracy through a legal lens, blending narrative storytelling with rigorous analysis of maritime law. Harris employs a captivating literary style that interlaces historical anecdotes with legal principles, illuminating the complexities of piracy as both a criminal activity and a cultural phenomenon. Set against the backdrop of the Age of Sail, this work contextualizes piracy within the frameworks of justice and societal norms, making it a compelling read for both legal scholars and enthusiasts of maritime history. Arthur M. Harris, a distinguished scholar in maritime law with extensive experience in maritime history, draws upon his expertise to unravel the intricate relationship between law and piracy. Harris's deep-rooted fascination with seafaring tales and historical legal practices has shaped his scholarly approach, leading him to produce a work that not only informs but also entertains. His unique perspective allows readers to appreciate the duality of pirates as both outlaws and figures of heroism in lore. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersection of law and history, as well as for those who enjoy vivid tales of adventure on the high seas. Harris's ability to weave complex legal concepts into engaging narratives ensures a thought-provoking and enlightening experience for all readers.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The Century moves on decade by decade. War once again scars Europe, in America wagons roll west.  Social unrest continues even as conditions improve markedly for the few and only a little for the many.  The list of problems and of challenges described by our authors is long and their stories once again full of valuable and telling insights.

    'A Chapel and a Hayhut among the Mountains'. This piece of writing falls between the short story and travel writing but is presented here as a short story largely because it depicts the warm love between Lawrence and his wife Frieda (Anita in the story) as they begin their life of travel together.

    "The Star-Child" by the Irish author Oscar Wilde, first published in 1891, is a fantasy story about a handsome boy who for the first ten years of his life believes that he is truly the son of a star. As a result, he believes himself to be superior to everyone else and becomes vain, arrogant and cruel. When his real mother, a beggar woman, comes to the village where he lives, he wants nothing to do with her and mocks her for her ugliness. As punishment for his cruelty, he becomes monstrously ugly himself. He remains so until he shows kindness to others, even at the risk of his own life.
     
    Oscar Wilde (October 16, 1854 - November 30, 1900) was an Irish poet and playwright. After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of the most popular playwrights in London in the early 1890s. He is best remembered for his epigrams, plays, short stories, and his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.
