Beschreibung

In "Dorothy Dixon Wins Her Wings," Dorothy Wayne crafts a compelling narrative that melds adventure and coming-of-age themes within the context of early 20th-century aviation. Through the eyes of a spirited young girl, Dorothy Dixon, readers are taken on an inspiring journey that captures the essence of determination and the quest for identity amidst societal constraints. Wayne's prose is evocative and vibrant, filled with rich descriptions that vividly depict both the exhilaration of flight and the personal triumphs and tribulations that accompany it, reflecting the era's burgeoning fascination with aviation and the emergence of women in traditionally male-dominated fields. Dorothy Wayne, herself an avid aviation enthusiast and advocate for women's rights, draws from her own experiences to imbue the narrative with authenticity and depth. Born during a time when opportunities for women were limited, Wayne's passion for aviation and belief in gender equality serve as the backbone of this uplifting tale. Her extensive research and understanding of the historical context further enhance the story, making it not just a journey of flight but a commentary on women'Äôs empowerment. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate historical fiction infused with themes of courage and resilience. "Dorothy Dixon Wins Her Wings" promises an engaging exploration of personal discovery that resonates with both young adults and those young at heart, cementing Dorothy Wayne's place in the literary canon as a voice for aspiring women everywhere.

    After four years of living in Darwin, George Franklin is back in Melbourne, and everything has changed. There is now a pack of gay wolf shifters with their own territory, something that would have been unimaginable when he left. His own family pack is expecting him to move home and run with them…and he definitely doesn’t want to do that. The last thing he wants, though, is to fall for his best friend’s older brother—again. 
    Pack and family come first. Evan Steele knows that, and because of it, he lived a lie for years. He did things he regrets on the pack leader’s orders. Now, he’s put as much distance as he can between his past and his present. To humans, he is successful and confident.  
    But he hates shifting. He hates running on four feet.  
    When his past turns up at his door in the form of an anonymous hook-up, Evan’s lies come unstuck, and he’ll have to choose between putting himself first or obeying the pack who will hate him if they knew the truth.  
    This is the final book in the mm wolf shifter Outcast Pack series.

    The State of Us takes the reader from the twitching curtains of suburbia to the deserts of the Middle East, from the interior life of a street photographer to outer space, and back again. With an eye reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, the stories in it are often satirical, sometimes uncompromising and occasionally fabulous. What they have in common is a question - what are we doing? - and an answer that suggests we should look, more closely, at the state of us...

    The Expedition of Humphry Clinker is an epistolary novel that follows the comedic and chaotic travels of the eccentric Bramble family across 18th-century Britain. Narrated through letters written by various family members, including the sharp-witted spinster Lydia Melford and the grumpy yet lovable Matthew Bramble, the journey reveals vivid portraits of English, Welsh, and Scottish society. Amid romantic entanglements, misadventures in health spas, and encounters with rogues and fools, the family’s newly hired servant—Humphry Clinker—emerges as a quiet but pivotal figure. Smollett masterfully blends satire, social commentary, and character-driven humor in this lively travelogue, offering both a critique of British manners and a heartfelt exploration of family, love, and redemption. A classic of 18th-century fiction.

    The Quest of the Fish-Dog Skin" is a story of the adventures of two Indian boys or, rather, of an Indian boy and a white boy, Indian. These two set forth from the lodges of the Blackfeet, in company with an older Indian who acts as their guide, philosopher, and friend, on a far quest to the salt water to find the medicine-animal that is called "fish-dog" because it lives only in the water, swimming like a fish, yet has the face of a dog and barks like a dog. One of the boys, being of white parentage, knew from books in the little library at home that this strange animal, which we recognize at once as some sort of a seal, frequented the waters of the Pacific Ocean and adjacent rivers.
