Sinopse

Eleanor Hallowell Abbott's 'The White Linen Nurse' is an early 20th-century classic, intricately woven with rich emotional texture and psychological depth. This tale, replete with Abbott's signature use of wit and heartwarming narrative, delves into the life of a young, spirited nurse whose life becomes unexpectedly intertwined with a surly surgeon and his invalid daughter. Abbott's narrative style, both fluid and vivid, elegantly captures the transformative power of care and tenderness in a time when the role of women was rapidly evolving. Republished by DigiCat Publishing, it retains its quintessential charm while being presented in a format that resonates with contemporary readers, drawing on the literary traditions of the period to illuminate the individual's search for identity and meaning within societal constraints. The linguistic craftsmanship of the author reveals a layered text, one that situates itself comfortably within the context of post-Victorian literary sensibilities, addressing themes that are as relevant today as they were at the turn of the century. Abbott herself, an often overlooked figure in early American literature, brings an intimate knowledge of the medical world and the societal expectations of women to this narrative through personal experiences and astute observations of her era. Her work is shaped by the zeitgeist of her times, reflecting a nuanced understanding of gender dynamics and the human condition, which likely informed her creation of such vivid characters and scenarios. Abbott's heritage as the daughter of a clergyman and her eventual marriage to a prominent physician undoubtedly contributes to the authentically rendered emotional landscapes in her works, making 'The White Linen Nurse' a significant piece born of both personal and cultural imprints. 'The White Linen Nurse' is recommended for readers who seek not just a story but an experience, one that captures the essence of human resilience and the endearing complexities of love and duty. Abbott's prose invites enthusiasts of historical literature and those fascinated with the social narratives of the past to delve into a world skillfully painted with both the light and shade of the human soul. This republished edition is more than just a book; it is a bridge connecting modern-day audiences to the enduring and universal themes that have threaded through literature for centuries. It promises to be a rewarding journey for those who appreciate literary artistry and the quiet power of a story well told.

    The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
