Sinossi

Charles A. Eastman's "Premium Collection" presents a rich tapestry of Native American life, weaving together personal narratives and cultural insights in a style that is both lyrical and poignant. In works like "Indian Boyhood" and "From the Deep Woods to Civilization," Eastman captures the essence of Indigenous experiences, blending autobiography with broader historical accounts. His writing reflects a deep respect for Native traditions and spirituality while addressing the challenges of assimilation during his time, thus placing his work within the context of turn-of-the-20th-century American literature, where voices of marginalized communities began to emerge more prominently. Charles A. Eastman, a member of the Santee Dakota Sioux, was not only a writer but also a physician and reform activist. His unique upbringing straddling two worlds'Äîone rooted in Indigenous heritage and the other in Western education'Äîdeeply informed his perspectives and inspired his literary endeavors. Eastman sought to bridge cultural divides, aiming to present a nuanced view of Native American life to both Indigenous peoples and non-Indians, advocating for mutual understanding and respect. This collection is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American history and culture, offering invaluable perspectives that challenge mainstream narratives. Eastman's eloquent prose serves not just as a window into his world but as a testament to the resilience and spirit of Indigenous peoples. Readers will find themselves enchanted, enlightened, and compelled to reflect on the complex weave of cultural identity.

The Secret History

Procopius

A scandalous and vengeful cult favorite of the Byzantine Empire.
 
Procopius held a position of esteem in Justinian’s empire as an advisor to the military commander Belisarius. He even wrote the official histories of Justinian’s military conquests, lauding both the emperor and his commander. But secretly… Procopius hated them both, so he wrote Anecdota, later known as Secret History, in private.
 
Published a thousand years after it was written, Secret History labels Justinian as a demonic figure and a despot and takes huge shots at him, Belisarius, and both of their wives, Theodora and Antonina. This book was suppressed and hidden for hundreds of years because of its capacity to throw the whole empire into disarray, but it was eventually found in its full form in the Vatican Library and then published in 1623.
 
Filled with explosive revelations and the smart and sardonic voice of Procopius, Secret History will appeal equally to armchair historians and those just looking for a Byzantine way to throw an insult.

Camilla - From Outcast to Queen...

Angela Levin

For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, Queen Elizabeth refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, Camilla had become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she had seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wanted Camilla to be Queen Consort, not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005. 
 
 
 
Angela Levin uncovers Camilla's rocky journey to be accepted by the royal family and how she coped with her brutal portrayal in Netflix's The Crown. The public have witnessed her tremendous contribution to help those in need, especially during COVID. Levin has talked to many of Camilla's long-term friends, her staff, and executives from the numerous charities of which Camilla is patron. She reveals why Camilla concentrates on previously taboo subjects, such as domestic violence and rape. Most of all, Levin tells the story of how Camilla has changed from a fun-loving young woman to one of the senior royals' hardest workers. She has retained her mischievous sense of humor, becoming a role model for older women and an inspiration for younger ones.

The Voyage of The Aegre - From...

Nicholas Grainger

The Voyage of The Aegre is a dramatic true account of how a plan to sail a little fishing boat from the Highlands of Scotland down the coast to England turned into a trans-oceanic odyssey for Nick and Julie Grainger. It was the 1970s and their simple wooden boat was equipped with none of the aids modern yachts enjoy. Navigation was by sextant and compass, food cooked on a Primus, and weather forecasting by guesswork. Diligent preparation before they set sail eventually saved their lives in the violent storms and dangers they encountered, vividly described in this absorbing narrative. Their capsize at night in a fierce storm south of Tahiti and subsequent survival makes a gripping climax to the story. A born storyteller, the author has produced a stirring tale that ranks among classic sea adventures. 
From a simpler age of sailing when you were led across oceans by the sun and the stars, this book deserves to join the classics. It is simply a top class read - Paul Heiney, Royal Cruising Club. 
A terrific adventure - John Ridgway, 1966 North Atlantic rower, Round the World sailor, Adventurer, Author. 
One of the greatest sailing stories I have ever read - John Quirk, Afloat magazine.

Writing - Articles Blog Posts...

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable. 
More people are writing now than at any time in the history of civilisation. This is mainly down to education and more free time. The generation of the parents of the Baby Boomers was the first generation of mass readers – certainly in the West, and probably globally. Their parents could read, usually, but had no tradition of reading books. Instead, they read mostly newspapers. Their children had a better education, and picked up the reading habit from their parents. They were also encouraged to read books at school. The first generation where this happened. 
Their children, the post World War II Baby Boomers, continued the progression and became avid readers. In those days, not so long ago, say, between seventy and thirty years ago, people wrote letters by hand. It was a long, but very pleasant, personal experience. Then the home computer, email, and the Internet began to spread among the masses, and pen and ink gradually became replaced with message boards, posting to forums and email. 
Before this point, writing had been a special event for most people... thank you letters, postcards, birthday cards, and the odd personal letter home or to a friend. The home computer made it easy to dash off a quick note to someone. It took far less time to write and deliver, or have delivered by the post office. Suddenly, everyone began writing and posting to family, friends, strangers and even enemies. A barrier had been lifted – barriers of time and formality, perhaps. 
A high percentage of those Boomers, compared with other generations, have gone on to write some kind of book, or ebook. So, the Boomers are the first generation of working-class writers, and their parents were the first working-class generation of readers.
