Sinopse

In "The Twelve Adventurers, and Other Stories," Charlotte Brontë presents a captivating collection of narratives that blend elements of adventure, moral introspection, and social commentary. The stories are marked by Brontë's signature gothic undertones and rich character development, drawing readers into a world where the complexities of human emotion and the struggles for personal freedom intersect. Set against the backdrop of early Victorian society, these tales reflect the tensions between individual aspirations and societal expectations, illustrating Brontë's keen awareness of the constraints faced by women and the importance of personal agency. Charlotte Brontë, renowned as one of the foremost figures of the English literary canon, draws on her own life experiences, particularly her struggle for independence and her desire for self-expression. Growing up in the moors of Yorkshire, her unique upbringing—saturated in both isolation and creativity—shaped her narrative voice and thematic concerns. Her experiences as a governess and her dynamic relationship with her sisters, particularly with Emily and Anne, imbue her stories with authenticity and depth, revealing the emotional intricacies of life's adventures. This collection is an essential read for those interested in Victorian literature and the evolution of the short story format. Brontë's ability to weave intricate plots with profound psychological insight makes "The Twelve Adventurers, and Other Stories" an invaluable contribution not only to her oeuvre but also to the wider landscape of English literature. Readers will find within its pages both timeless wisdom and the thrill of adventure.

INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
 
Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
