Sinopsis

In "The Collected Works," Charles Alden Seltzer presents a rich tapestry of narratives that intertwine the American West's rugged allure with the intricate depths of human emotion. His literary style is characterized by vivid imagery and a keen understanding of the frontier spirit, often reflecting the struggles and triumphs of marginalized characters against an unforgiving backdrop. This collection serves as a seminal exploration of early 20th-century Americana, resonating with the cultural tensions and aspirations of its time while offering timeless themes of love, loss, and resilience. Seltzer, an influential figure in early American literature, was shaped by his diverse experiences, from his time as a cattle rancher to his pursuit of journalism. These elements of his life profoundly influence his storytelling, allowing for an authentic depiction of life in the West. His commitment to creating relatable, multifaceted characters while exploring societal conditions reflects a deep sense of empathy, making his works particularly resonant for contemporary readers seeking connection and understanding. I highly recommend "The Collected Works" to both lovers of American literature and those interested in historical depictions of the West. Seltzer's profound insights into human nature and the societal dynamics of his era invite readers to reflect on their own lives. This collection is not just a celebration of place but a soulful examination of character that will leave a lasting impression.

    Shanghai 1927. Pearl of the East or Whore of the Orient? Depends on who you ask. It's a cesspool of poverty, thronged with refugees, gripped by civil war. But for some it's still a fever dream: jazz clubs, film stars, and opium dens, celebrities and spies, easy money and easier women. 
     
     
     
    The son of a rural Irish cop, Michael Gallagher has joined the Shanghai Municipal Police to escape an Ireland crippled by its recent bitter independence fight and escape a personal tragedy. 
     
     
     
    Michael encounters Shanghai's biggest philanthropist, a man called Big Ears Lu—who is also its creepiest racketeer. He falls for the beautiful courtesan Miriam Tsai. 
     
     
     
    But does Michael's collusion with Lu keep Miriam trapped in the House of Multiple Joys? 
     
     
     
    Shanghai in 1927 is a city where after dark anything seems possible. A city where anyone can be crushed, and anyone corrupted. Even an innocent Irish cop. 
     
     
     
    From the wreckage of guerrilla war in Ireland to the dawn of world war in Asia, Gangsters of Shanghai seethes with twentieth century turbulence and temptation. 
     
     
     
    Can Mike Gallagher remain uncorrupted, and escape the imploding city with his life and his self-respect?

    Count your nights by stars, not by shadows ~ Italian Proverb 
    Winter in Venice 
    Mia Caiozzi is determined to discover her destiny by studying the science of astronomy. But her stepmother Giulia forbids her to engage in this dangerous occupation, fearing it will lead her into trouble. The ideas of Galileo are banned by the Inquisition, so Mia must study in secret. 
    Giulia insists Mia should live quietly out of public view. If not, it could threaten them all. Giulia's real name is Giulia Tofana, renowned for her poison Aqua Tofana, and she is in hiding from the Duke de Verdi's family who are intent on revenge for the death of their brother. But Mia doesn't know this, and rebels against Giulia, determined to go her own way. 
    When the two secret lives collide, it has far-reaching and fatal consequences that will change both their lives forever. 
    Set amongst opulent palazzi and shimmering canals, The Fortune Keeper is the third novel of adventure and romance based on the life and legend of Giulia Tofana. 
    'Swift has an almost visceral understanding of what makes history worth reading, and she is also the perfect tour-guide to take her readers on a trip back in time to a dangerous past ... a must-listen for fans of quality Historical Fiction.' Coffee Pot Book Club ★★★★★
