Synopsis

Elisabeth Sanxay Holding's "Rosaleen among the Artists" presents a profound exploration of artistic aspiration and the complexities of human relationships within a bohemian milieu. The narrative follows the eponymous Rosaleen as she navigates the creatively charged environment of mid-20th century New York, characterized by Holding's exquisite prose that seamlessly weaves psychological insights with vibrant descriptions. The novel engages with themes of identity, longing, and the elusive nature of inspiration, situating Rosaleen's journey amid a rich tapestry of compelling characters, each embodying different facets of the artistic struggle. This text reflects Holding's mastery of nuance, often drawing upon the literary traditions of social realism and psychological depth that define her oeuvre. Holding, a prominent figure in the realm of psychological fiction, crafted her narratives largely informed by her own experiences within the artistic circles of New York during the early 1900s. Her acute observations of the human condition, alongside her adeptness at revealing the intricacies of personal and artistic relationships, served as a wellspring for "Rosaleen among the Artists." As a writer deeply engaged with the cultural currents of her time, Holding'Äôs works often illuminate the intimate struggles of female protagonists against a backdrop of societal expectations. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of art and life, as well as those who appreciate Delicate character studies that encapsulate the emotional and psychological tensions inherent in the pursuit of creativity. "Rosaleen among the Artists" is a thought-provoking literary experience that remains relevant, inviting contemplation on the nature of artistry and self-discovery.

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.

    Betrayed by his rivals and falsely accused of sedition by a justice system that is anything but, Edmond Dantes is thrown into the dungeon of the Chateau d'If and left for dead. A chance encounter with a mad priest leads to the resurrection of hope, a frightening escape, and the discovery of untold riches. Twenty four years after his incarceration, Edmond Dantes reemerges as the mysterious and vampire like Count of Monte Cristo, with the sole intention of extracting vengeance on those who profited from his disappearance. This classic thriller by Alexandre Dumas has been reimagined many times over the centuries, but this audiobook recording, taken from the original English translation, edited and performed by award winning narrator Joshua Macrae, takes Dumas' Shakespearean poetry and wit and blends it with the craft of modern audio story telling. It's a wild ride from start to finish . . .

    The Treasures of Alexander the Great have intrigued people ever since he amassed them after his victory at Damascus. The lure of such vast amounts of wealth has taunted people for centuries. Many risked their lives to acquire them. Many gave their lives to protect them. 
    This story takes place in the twelfth century at the end of the Third Crusade, when European monarchs strove for empirical dominance. It was a time when life was brutal, men were courageous, and women were at the behest of these men’s desires. 
    Crusader Gold follows the fortunes and misfortunes of those who defended Alexander’s treasures, and the Crusaders who went to great lengths to seize them. Those French Knights intended to use their hoard to fund future humanitarian ventures across Europe. But as history has shown, the relocation of the treasures to places of safekeeping has led to the mysteries that have enshrouded them to this day. 
    When the young Alexandrian, Yasheed, breaks his oath to the protection of Alexander’s treasures, to spare his and his father’s life from the gallows, he sets a course that changes his own future as much as it does for his executioners. The knowledge Yasheed shares with the French General Pierre Favre and the French Knight Colonel Bertrand Resolu, sparks a thrilling adventure into the mysteries of hidden treasures, and the lengths men will take, to possess them. When the stakes were high enough, lives were expendable, and combat was brutal. 
    Crusader Gold is a story of courage, commitment, camaraderie and daring. 
    However, it is also a story about Alexander’s treasures and the spirit and determination of the men and women committed to their protection. 
    Following Boomerang Gold and Masquerade Gold, this is the final book in the “Gold” trilogy.
