Sinopse

In "Raleigh," Edmund Gosse presents a vivid biographical sketch of Sir Walter Raleigh, blending meticulous historical research with an engaging narrative style that captures the grandeur and turbulence of the Elizabethan era. Gosse's prose is characterized by its articulate elegance and rich detail, navigating the complexities of Raleigh's life, from his ventures in exploration to his literary contributions and eventual downfall. The book situates Raleigh not only as a pioneer of the New World but also as a significant figure in the cultural and political landscape of 16th-century England, offering insights into Renaissance humanism and the interplay of ambition and artistry. Edmund Gosse was an eminent poet, critic, and biographer, who was deeply influenced by his experiences in a literary environment shaped by Victorian values and the burgeoning modernist movement. His connection to the world of literature and his background as a son of a clergyman provided him with a unique perspective that fostered his fascination with historical figures and their impacts on society. Gosse's dedication to reviving the voices of past literary icons reflects his belief in the enduring relevance of their contributions to English literature and culture. "Raleigh" is an invaluable read for anyone interested in the intricate tapestry of Elizabethan history and literature. Gosse's artful storytelling invites readers to explore the life of a man whose ambitions and trials resonate through time, making this biography a compelling tribute to growth, creativity, and the human spirit.

    A memoir of a whirlwind romance gone wrong. 
     
    Kerstin is childless by choice and married to her job when Gianni, a charming Italian, turns her life into a champagne-coloured fairy tale. 
     
    Soon after their runaway wedding, Gianni is diagnosed with cancer and Kerstin becomes his dedicated carer. But when she discovers that he has been cheating on her all through their relationship, she is faced with a difficult choice: walk away, or continue to care for the man who betrayed her. She turns first to wine and then to therapy, eventually ending up in a Buddhist monastery. There she realises that finding a new way of loving her lying, dying husband might offer a chance to grow from her pain rather than be crushed by it - and to avoid liver damage. 
     
    Written with wisdom, humour, and unfailing kindness, this is a life-affirming tale of one woman's search for better ways to love, grieve and forgive.
