Beschreibung

In "The Kentish Coast," Charles G. Harper presents a vivid and immersive exploration of one of England's most picturesque regions. This work combines rich narrative prose with meticulous observation, painting a comprehensive portrait of the Kentish coastline's natural beauty, historical significance, and cultural heritage. Harper's engaging style, marked by both poetic descriptions and informative detail, invites readers to appreciate the intricacies of landscape and local lore. The book serves as both a travelogue and a historical account, situating itself within the broader context of 19th-century English literature that sought to celebrate the countryside and encourage a deeper connection to nature. Harper, an esteemed Victorian author and artist, was deeply influenced by his passion for walking and the English landscape. His experiences as a traveler and his background in sketching and illustration provide a unique lens through which he captures the essence of the Kentish coast. Harper's affection for the region, combined with his commitment to detailed observation, reflects a broader cultural movement of the time that valued both nature and history, making his work a significant contribution to the genre of regional literature. This book is highly recommended for those intrigued by English geography, as well as travelers and history enthusiasts alike. Harper's eloquent prose and insightful commentary will not only enlighten readers about the Kentish coast but will also inspire them to explore the beauty and stories hidden within this remarkable landscape.

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

    This is a specially curated, abridged edition. The full, unabridged edition will be available soon. 
    In a world where we can feel so disconnected, bogged down by the motions and minutes that steal dreams and tuck the self out of sight, Muses and Muscle Memory: The Audio Experience invites you to sneak away and reconnect. There are moments — beautiful, chaotic, and in-between — that make us who we are; they're as ingrained as the bones beneath our skin. And there are muses — bursts or bodies — that inspire us to feel, to explore, to change, or to appreciate. But we need the space: to think, to remember, to create, or just to be. 
    Narrated by the author, Chris-Ann Miche, and sound designed by Joel Young, each poem pulls you into a vivid landscape of words, with sounds from everyday life, that ask you to sit, listen, breathe, and contemplate. 
    Touching on complicated themes like memory, grief, desire, love, fear, freedom, and more, Chris-Ann comes out of intellectual hiding to lead you through glimpses of her past and present, to give you a safe place to get lost, a secure place to feel, to linger in nostalgia, to explore longing and warmth, while considering what’s to come, away from the noise of the world. 
    In the words of RaeChelle-Faith Hamilton, "Chris-Ann truly has a gift. Her uncanny ability to pull you into her world, while evoking treasured moments from your own experiences, reflects empathy, and true craftsmanship. Her collection not only narrates her own life's questions, but beautifully and effectively reflects how we may also perceive the world, but are unable to find the words. Chris-Ann has not only found her voice but has managed to help us find our own.”

    "How is it possible to recover and love the world again when you have lived through the worst? "On the night of September 5, 1990, my two children, Lucie and Sylvain, were murdered by their own father. Faced with such a tragedy, I could have killed myself, but I chose life. Like many mothers, I believed that I could never live without my children. And yet... today, I am no longer ashamed to be alive. Surviving hell is possible.
    "There is not a word in the dictionary that is good enough to define the nothingness in which I and my family found ourselves."
    "To fill this gap, I decided to write my story.  How can you survive the death of your children? I hope that my testimony will help you, dear reader, to understand the pain of the victims and perhaps one day to overcome it."
    In this extraordinary story, of rare humanity, Patricia Oddo finds the strength to live for her children, to fall in love, to be a mother again, to speak without taboo about this tragedy that struck her children, and to mourn this tragedy thirty years later.

    A narrative full of adrenaline rush intertwined with warm Moroccan hospitality. 
    L'Eid, Boujloud, and summer. 
    On how thick a human mask and understanding can be while not only beetles fall victims to the Feast of Sacrifice. 
    An amusingly reflective story about real incidents and humanity amidst intercultural holidays in the 'Land of Liquid Gold.' 
    Moroccan traditions, dialect, cuisine, and products through comparative lenses. 
    Suitable and enriching for all ages. Animal sacrifice discussion could feel too detailed for very young and sensitive listeners. 
    Practical for those considering their first-time-ever stay abroad or intercultural marriage or challenging phobias through exposure. Lovers of peculiarities and anthropology enthusiasts might broaden their collection. 
    To never judge by own background...
