Beschreibung

In "The Great Invasion of 1813-14; or, After Leipzig," Erckmann-Chatrian delves deeply into the tumultuous events following the pivotal Battle of Leipzig in 1813, intricately weaving historical narrative with vivid characterizations. The book adopts a dual perspective, focusing on the human experiences of soldiers and civilians alike amid the chaos of the Napoleonic Wars. With its detailed prose and rich descriptions, the authors skillfully evoke the emotional and physical landscapes of wartime Europe, positioning the narrative within the broader literary context of historical fiction that aims to uncover the truths of humanity in crisis. Erckmann-Chatrian, the collaborative duo of authors Émile Erckmann and Alexandre Chatrian, were known for their works reflecting the profound societal changes of their time. Their experiences as soldiers and their deep understanding of the socio-political turbulence of Europe during the early 19th century greatly influenced their portrayal of battle and its aftermath. By intertwining personal narratives with historical accounts, they create a mosaic of perspectives that illuminate the collective trauma and resilience faced by a war-torn populace. This compelling read is a must for anyone interested in military history, romanticism, or the intricate narratives that lie at the intersection of individual experience and historical event. Readers will find themselves captivated by the human stories that animate this critical moment in European history, making it an essential addition to both scholarly and casual collections.

    WITH PASSION AND DARING, THEY SEIZED THE PROMISE OF A NEW LAND...
    The seventh book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
    The upheavels in the new colony are frequent and radical. A governor has recently been fired, a rebel government has been forced to retreat, and a new governor has arrived in Australia.
    Will this mean redemption for the freed prisoners in the exile colony? The country needs its loyal fighters — and Jenny Hawley and her family certainly belong there in spite of their past.
    Above all, the new governor needs men of Andrew Hawley and Justin Broome's calibre to be able to transform the country into a thriving, independent nation.
    Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

    The thundering new adventure starring traveling gunslinger John Holt, a lawman-for-hire on a mission to serve justice across the untamed Colorado territories—one bullet at a time. 
     
     
     
    One of the deadliest, crime-infested towns in Colorado Territory, Devil's Gulch needed more than a sheriff. They needed a gunslinger. So they pinned a badge on hardcase lawman John Holt. And the rest is history. 
     
     
     
    As the town's new sheriff, John Holt achieved the impossible: He drove the devil out of Devil's Gulch. Corrupt, cutthroat rancher Joe Mullen—who ruled the land with an iron fist—is finally behind bars, thanks to Sheriff Holt. But the tables are turned when Mullen manages to overturn his prison wagon and make his escape—with an army of prisoners, outlaws, and lowlifes to do his bidding. 
     
     
     
    It doesn't take long for the streets of Devil's Gulch to run red with blood. Again. Or for Holt to be marked for death. Again. But this time, the sheriff's up against more than a hundred men—all of them gunning for him—and his only allies are an all-too-young deputy, an all-too-angry farmer, and a wayward wagon cook. With odds this bad, Holt is sure of only one thing: when you shoot at the devil, it's best not to miss.
