Beschreibung

In "The Mirror and the Bracelet: or, Little Bullets from Batala," A. L. O. E. delves into a captivating narrative that intertwines themes of morality, personal reflection, and social critique. Written in the mid-19th century, this work is marked by its vivid imagery and engaging prose, characteristic of the Victorian literary context in which it emerged. The title itself serves as a metaphorical lens through which readers explore the societal norms and ethical dilemmas of the time, rendered through the lens of an enthralling plot that remains accessible yet profound. A. L. O. E., the pseudonym of the British author Charlotte Mary Yonge, was not only an accomplished writer but a passionate advocate for social reform and education. Her rich background in literature and her commitment to addressing pressing societal issues likely influenced her desire to craft stories that entertain while imparting moral lessons. Her works often reflect her beliefs in the importance of character and integrity, making her an important voice in the realm of Victorian literature. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in exploring the intersection of societal critique and narrative art in the Victorian era. "The Mirror and the Bracelet" provides not only an engaging story but also a thoughtful reflection on the complexities of human nature, making it an essential read for lovers of historical fiction and moral philosophy.

    Louisa MacDonald was born in 1845, one of eleven children of part Scottish descent.  Together with three of her sisters they were known as the ‘MacDonald sisters’ primarily because of their marriages to well-known men.   
     
    In 1866 she married the wealthy industrialist Alfred Baldwin in a double wedding with her sister Anne.   
     
    After giving birth to Stanley on the 3rd August 1867, who would go on to become Prime Minister, she drifted into an unhappy life in her then residence in Worcestershire.  She had at least one miscarriage and days alone depressed and in darkness. 
     
    During the 1870’s the couple travelled to find a lasting cure and tried a variety of treatments which led to her recovery in 1883.  She now became a leading figure in her local village of Wilden, near Stourbridge. 
     
    Her writing career of novels, short stories and poetry is often overlooked, as was the case with so many women, yet her works reveal many talents and a gift for melding odd and weird circumstances into seemingly everyday life.   
     
    Louisa Baldwin died in 1925.

    A train seems a very reliable mode to bring out the best in authors and sometimes the worst in their fictional characters.  In this volume our narratives are usually set inside the carriage compartment where they are really are up close and personal with each other.  All our authors need to do is to light the touchpaper and stand well back.

    The penultimate Last Viking epic adventure from bestselling author JC Duncan! Must-read for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Peter Gibbons and Matthew Harffy ⚔️ 
    Sworn to serve the empire, cursed to decide its fate. 
    1041 AD, Constantinople 
    The Byzantine empire is fading. Sick with corruption and complacency that paralyses its once mighty people, assailed from within and without by those who seek to feast upon its riches. 
    The emperor is dying, the empress is ageing, and rebellion threatens in the heart of their homelands. The last hope of the eternal empire might lie with a disgraced foreign mercenary. 
    Harald Hardrada fears nothing but failure or dishonour. For eight years he has faithfully served the heirs of Caesar, but has failed in his goal to earn the riches and reputation he needs to reclaim the throne of Norway. 
    Empress Zoe makes Harald one final offer to save both of their ambitions: He can have all the riches and glory that he desires, if he breaks his oaths and delivers the empire into her grasp. Is Harald the man of his word or will he bend to the empress’s ruthless demands?

    Eleonora of Somerset Hall: A Victorian Romance of Love, Betrayal, and Freedom 
    In Victorian England, Lady Eleonora Somerset is trapped in a gilded cage where her beauty is a commodity and her future a transaction. But beneath her exquisite gowns beats a heart yearning for a fierce, untamed freedom. A loveless marriage teaches her that to survive, she must take control. Her rebellion begins with a stolen, forbidden book, awakening a desire that will change everything. 
    Her quest for freedom leads her from a passionate affair with a charismatic officer to the ruthless salons of Paris. There, she must choose between the intellectual dominance offered by an enigmatic Marquis and the raw power of an American industrialist.

    Will Eleonora find redemption, or is her empire of ashes the last testament of a heart that learned too late?
