Sinopsis

In "Vagaries," Axel Munthe weaves a rich tapestry of personal reflections and vivid narratives that capture the unpredictability of life. Written in a lyrical prose characterized by its philosophical nuance and emotional depth, the book oscillates between poignant reminiscences and whimsical observations. Munthe explores themes of love, mortality, and the intricacies of human experience, set against the backdrop of his travels and encounters across Europe. The work encapsulates a sense of existential exploration, inviting readers to ponder their own paths amidst life's capriciousness. Axel Munthe, a Swedish physician turned writer, is renowned for his deep connection to the natural world and human suffering, which profoundly influences his literary works. His experiences in psychiatry, coupled with his penchant for exploration, compelled him to pen "Vagaries" as a means of both reflecting on and reconciling the tumultuous nature of existence. Munthe's unique blend of scientific observation and poetic sensibility offers readers a glimpse into the mind of a man who navigated both the medical and literary realms with intimacy and insight. I highly recommend "Vagaries" for readers seeking an introspective journey filled with philosophical musings and evocative storytelling. Munthe's ability to articulate the complexities of life makes this book not only a literary pleasure but also a source of profound contemplation. It invites the reader to embrace life's uncertainties, ultimately enriching their understanding of the human condition.

    Sequel to Mortal Escape
    Ten years have passed since the devastating war between the surface-born and the mysterious beings from the underground, a conflict that shattered the world and left deep scars in its wake. Lennox grapples with the aftermath of a war that changed everything she once knew. After fleeing the city, unable to stand the political games and the bitter aftermath of a failed peace attempt, Lennox has chosen a life of solitude along the shorelines, far from the chaos of her past. 
    When disaster strikes again, this time threatening everything she's worked to rebuild, Lennox is forced to flee at the urging of her older sister Halen. As they race against time, the haunting memories of a war-torn world come rushing back, leaving Lennox wondering if safety is even possible in a world so broken. 
    In the midst of the turmoil, Lennox's past resurfaces in the form of Salem -- once a childhood friend, now a beautiful and captivating woman. The bond they shared in the past has only deepened, and now, an undeniable connection between them stirs, one that goes beyond friendship, into a realm neither of them has thought to explore before. But with their families' long-standing animosity and the ever-present threat of war looming over them, a love between them feels not only forbidden, but dangerous. 
    As they struggle to navigate their growing feelings amidst political strife, explosive battles, and ever-looming danger, can they escape the shadows of their past and find a future in a world determined to tear them apart?

    The Coffin Maker - From their...

    Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin was born on 26th May 1799 in Moscow into a family of Russian nobility. 
    Raised by nursemaids and French tutors in French he learnt Russian only via the household staff. 
    He graduated from the prestigious Imperial Lyceum, near St Petersburg and plunged into the vibrant and raucous intellectual youth culture of what was then the capital of the Russian Empire.  
    In 1820, he published his first long poem, ‘Ruslan and Ludmila’, with much controversy about both subject and style.  Pushkin was heavily influenced by the French Enlightenment and gravitated, with other literary radicals, towards social reform angering the Government. 
    His early literary work and reputation was poetic and written as he travelled around the Empire or engaged himself in various rebellions against the Ottoman Empire.  A clash with his own government after his poem, ‘Ode to Liberty’, was found among the belongings of the Decembrist Uprising rebels meant two years of internal exile at his mother's rural estate.  His friends and family continually petitioned for his release, sending letters and meeting with Tsar Alexander I and then Tsar Nicholas I.   
    In 1825, whilst at his Mother’s estate, Pushkin wrote his most famous play, the drama ‘Boris Godunov’.  
    Upon meeting with Tsar Nicholas I, Pushkin obtained his release and began work as the Tsar's Titular Counsel of the National Archives.  However, because of the earlier problems the tsar retained control of everything Pushkin published, and he was banned from travelling at will. 
    Around 1828, Pushkin met the 16-year-old Natalia Goncharova, one of the most talked-about beauties of Moscow.  After much hesitation, Natalia accepted his marriage proposal after she received assurances that the government had no intentions to persecute the libertarian poet.  When the Tsar gave Pushkin the lowest court title, Gentleman of the Chamber, he became enraged, feeling that the Tsar intended to humiliate him. 
    In the year 1831, during Pushkin's growing literary influence, he met Nikolai Gogol.  Recognising his gifts Pushkin supported him and published his short stories in his own magazine ‘The Contemporary’. 
    By the autumn of 1836, Pushkin was falling into greater and greater debt and facing scandalous rumours that his wife was having an affair.  
    In January 1837, Pushkin sent a ‘highly insulting letter’ to his wife’s pursuer, Georges-Charles de Heeckeren d'Anthès.  The only answer could be a challenge to a duel. 
    It took place on 27th January.  D'Anthès fired first, critically wounding Pushkin; the bullet entered at his hip and penetrated his abdomen.  Two days later Alexander Pushkin died of peritonitis.  He was 37.
