Beschreibung

In "Famous Impostors," Bram Stoker delves into the intriguing world of deception through a series of captivating narratives that explore historical figures who evaded their true identities. With a vivid and engaging prose style, Stoker combines meticulous research with dramatic retellings, inviting readers to ponder the fine line between truth and illusion. Set against the backdrop of the 19th-century fascination with sensationalism and the macabre, this work reflects the era's thirst for scandalous stories while illuminating the psychological depths behind impersonation. Bram Stoker, best known for his seminal horror novel "Dracula," had a profound interest in the intersection of reality and fiction, which likely influenced his exploration of impostorism in this book. His background in theatrical management and literature allowed him to craft compelling narratives that resonate with the themes of identity and deception. Stoker's exposure to various cultures while traveling and his keen observations of human behavior inform the rich character studies in "Famous Impostors." For readers who appreciate historical curiosities and psychological thrillers, "Famous Impostors" offers an enthralling glimpse into the lives of notorious deception artists. This book serves as both a captivating commentary on human nature and an exploration of how identity can be both performative and elusive, making it a thought-provoking addition to any literary collection.

    A moving and hilarious fish-out-of-water memoir of a millennial leaving his inner-city life to take over the family farm. 
    Sam Vincent is a twenty-something writer in the inner suburbs, scrabbling to make ends meet, when he gets a call from his mother: his father has stuck his hand in a woodchipper, but ‘not to worry – it wasn’t like that scene in Fargo or anything’. When Sam returns to the family farm to help out, his life takes a new and unexpected direction. 
     
    Whether castrating a calf or buying a bull – or knocking in a hundred fence posts by hand when his dad hides the post-driver – Sam’s farming apprenticeship is an education in grit and shit. But there are victories, too: nurturing a fig orchard to bloom; learning to read the land; joining forces with Indigenous elders to protect a special site. Slowly, Sam finds himself thinking differently about the farm, about his father and about his relationship with both. 
     
    By turns affecting, hilarious and utterly surprising, this memoir melds humour and fierce honesty in an unsentimental love letter. It’s about belonging, humility and regeneration – of land, family and culture. What passes from father to son on this unruly patch of earth is more than a livelihood; it is a legacy.

    “Air raid warning, air raid warning. Shut your doors and windows.” 
    The Rediffusion blared out in English and then in Maltese, at 6:55am on the morning of 11 June 1940. 
    This was the first of many times we would hear that warning. The day our lives changed. 
    Margaret Staples was nine years old at the beginning of 1939 when her father was posted to the British colony of Malta with the Royal Engineers. Swimming every day, with blue skies and balmy weather; Margaret and her siblings thought they were in paradise. 
    Everything changed when the Second World War broke out. Hitler wanted to take control of Malta for its strategic position, right in the middle of the Mediterranean. To this end, the Axis powers dropped more bombs on this tiny island than anywhere else on the planet. When that didn’t work, they decided to sink all the supply ships going to the island and force capitulation through starvation. 
    This is Margaret’s story of survival, told by her daughter Linda.

    Journalist and Editor Michael Clayton worked his way up from local newspapers to BBC war correspondent, with radio and magazine experience inbetween.   
    From the sharp end of the action in Vietnam, to the violence of the Troubles in Belfast and the tragedy of the East Pakistan revolt, Clayton    is well placed to compare the varying challenges of journalism on different media platforms.   
    The rivalry between the BBC and ITV, the bravery of war cameramen, dealing on assignment with corrupt officials, the TV preference for close-to-the action film as opposed to insightful reports of the effects of conflict: Clayton has experienced it all over a 70-year career.
    His insights into the ethos of the BBC, the colourful characters he reported and filmed alongside, and his resulting views of humanity, war and crime – Clayton's autobiography in journalism is honest, wry and full of insight.
