Beschreibung

Arthur Thomas Malkin's monumental work, "The Gallery of Portraits" (Volumes 1-7), stands as a testament to the biographical tradition of 19th-century literature, meticulously chronicling the lives and contributions of significant historical and contemporary figures. With an engaging prose style that combines vivid imagery and comprehensive detail, Malkin invites readers into the intimate landscapes of his subjects' lives, discussing their influence on society, culture, and the arts. The structure of the work, comprising multiple volumes, allows for a nuanced exploration of personal anecdotes and historical contexts, highlighting the interconnectedness of individual lives and global events during a period of profound change in England and beyond. Malkin, an accomplished scholar and a keen observer of human character, draws upon his extensive education and intellectual curiosity to breathe life into the narratives of his portraits. His background in the arts and history likely informed his approach, as he sought to illuminate the complexities and subtleties of notable figures, from politicians to artists. Malkin's ability to weave intricate details into broader societal frameworks reflects his commitment to both the individual and the collective story of humanity. For those who appreciate well-researched biographies enriched with eloquent prose, "The Gallery of Portraits" offers a captivating journey through time, elevating the study of biography to an art form. This work is highly recommended for historians, literary enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the tapestry of human experience.

    The first Christmas sermon preserved in church history was preached by St. John Chrysostom in AD 386, in which he declared, "Behold a new and wonderful mystery!" In this volume, the Christian literary writers of the Chrysostom Society reflect on Advent and Christmastide as a bright and meaningful season of anticipation and glory. Through forty-two readings from the first Sunday of Advent through Epiphany, contributors prepare us in watchful waiting for the coming of Jesus.

    "Go for the Jaws, stay for the Shaws." —Nat Segaloff, author of The Exorcist Legacy 
     
     
     
    Robert Shaw unforgettably commanded attention as the weathered seaman Captain Quint in the blockbuster sensation, Jaws. But what came before and after that landmark film is as dramatic as the hunt for the great white shark itself. 
     
     
     
    Capturing the many facets of the vibrant, generous, and sometimes polarizing man is his nephew, Christopher, who explores the forces that shaped a dynamic personality—including Robert's indomitable mother, his deeply troubled father, and his activist sister, Joanna, with whom Robert shared an unbreakable bond. Out of the traumatic events of their childhood in the Orkney Islands and Cornwall, Mrs. Shaw pushed her children to pursue their dreams. For Robert, that dream was acting and writing. 
     
     
     
    Despite a storied career on the British and American stage—as both performer and playwright—and a string of hit films including From Russia with Love, A Man for All Seasons, The Sting, and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, international celebrity eluded Robert . . . until he was summoned to star in "a little horror film" called Jaws.

    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 Victorian era ceases but England strides on. Confident, bestriding the globe as policeman and enforcer of her Imperial ways.  In literature her authors create majestic works that beguile an ever growing audience that now covers the world.
