Sinopse

Elizabeth Bacon Custer began writing articles and making speaking engagements praising the glory of what she presented as her "martyred" husband, General George Armstrong Custer. Her three books—Boots and Saddles (1885), Tenting on the Plains—(1887), and Following the Guidon (1890) aimed at glorifying her dead husband's memory. Though generally considered to be largely factually accurate, they were clearly slanted in Custer's favor. Her efforts were successful. The image of a steely Custer leading his men against overwhelming odds only to be wiped out while defending their position to the last man became as much a part of American lore as the Alamo.

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.

    THE BOLD NEW MEMOIR FROM SOUTH AFRICA'S DOUBLE WORLD CUP-WINNING COACH RASSIE ERASMUSRassie Erasmus has been called a genius. He’s been called reckless. All his life, he’s done things differently. Now, with his trademark candour, Rassie talks openly about his adventures and misadventures at the pinnacle of world rugby, both as player and coach.From his role in Nick Mallett's record-breaking Springbok team of the late 1990s, to the devastating injuries that cut short his playing career, to his revolutionary coaching career, Rassie is an essential window into one of the most successful figures of modern rugby.When his teammates relaxed, Rassie preferred to watch hours of video and devise winning strategies. His coaching methods were initially laughed off – before being eagerly adopted when their success proved undeniable. He fought the rugby establishment at the Stormers, and later earned the grudging respect of Irish fans at Munster.Most crucially, Rassie talks about his greatest contribution to South African rugby: appointing its first black captain, Siya Kolisi, without much fanfare or controversy. As his bold plans for effective racial transformation of the national team achieved immediate success, they culminated in glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Here, that monumental period is recounted in vivid, insightful detail.Entertaining and eye-opening, Rassie is full of behind-the-scenes revelations, telling the story of a towering figure in world rugby.

    "An American in the Making: The Life Story of an Immigrant" is an unconventional immigrant memoir written by Marcus Eli Ravage in 1917. Ravage, a Jewish American writer and journalist originally from Romania, provides a unique perspective on Americanization and the immigrant experience during the early 20th century.    Here are some key points about this thought-provoking work:    Context and Purpose:  Ravage's memoir was conceived at a time when immigrant writers were competing with sociological accounts of "the immigrant story."  Against the growing nativism of the late 1910s and 1920s, Ravage responded to previous representations of "the immigrant" by both immigrant and American writers and critics.  His work engages political and cultural debates surrounding Americanization.  Challenging Americanization:  Ravage presents an unexpected story of Americanization. He portrays himself as "an American in the making," neither fully Americanized nor a greenhorn but a subject of literary production.  His memoir challenges the dialectic of Americanization and shows awareness of his objectification in contemporaneous sociological studies and photojournalistic exposés.  Genre and Identity:  Ravage rewrites the genre of immigrant autobiography. He invites readers to rethink assumptions about immigrant autobiography.  By making immigrant and immigrant intellectual labor coterminous, he blurs the boundaries between these categories.  Legacy:  "An American in the Making" remains timely, especially given contemporary debates about immigration and national identity.  Ravage's memoir dramatizes the multifaceted facets of Americanization discourses and practices.  This memoir offers a fresh perspective on the immigrant experience, identity, and the complexities of becoming an American"
