Synopsis

In "Marooned on Australia," Ernest Favenc presents a gripping tale of survival and exploration set against the unforgiving backdrop of the Australian wilderness. Favenc skillfully weaves together adventure and reflection, employing a vivid, descriptive literary style that immerses the reader in both the physical challenges and psychological nuances experienced by his characters. This work, published during the late 19th century, resonates within the broader context of colonial literature, engaging with themes of isolation, resilience, and the complex relationships between man and nature. Ernest Favenc, an astute observer of the landscapes and cultures of Australia, was born in 1845 in England and later immigrated to Australia. His rich experiences as a surveyor, explorer, and writer deeply informed his literary works. Favenc's fascination with the Australian outback, alongside his first-hand encounters with the land's vastness and harshness, serves as a potent source of inspiration in "Marooned on Australia," where he explores human endurance against formidable odds. I highly recommend "Marooned on Australia" to readers interested in adventure, exploration, and the human spirit. Favenc's unflinching portrayal of survival challenges will resonate with those who appreciate the intricacies of nature and the depth of human emotion in the face of adversity.

Before long, Delilah realizes that her heart, as well as her career, is at stake.

    In this engaging social history New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, “the most prolific and successful historical novelist in the world today” (Wall Street Journal), completes his epic Last Kingdom series with this companion book featuring three exclusive short stories and sixty recipes that bring Uhtred’s world to life as never before. 
    My name is Uhtred. I am the son of Uhtred, who was the son of Uhtred and his father was also called Uhtred . . . 
     The Last Kingdom is one of the most successful historical fiction series of our time. The novels tell the epic story of the birth of England and introduces one of the greatest ever fictional heroes: the iconic Uhtred of Bebbanburg, the Saxon-born, Norse-raised warrior and rebel. In this lively compendium, Bernard Cornwell revisits Uhtred’s realm, illuminating elements of the Anglo-Saxon world he couldn’t fully explore in his novels. 
    Uhtred’s Feast offers rich background on the books of the Last Kingdom series, presenting a fascinating, detailed view of Anglo-Saxon life in all its splendor, danger, and beauty. With his narrative flair, Cornwell explores every aspect of this historical period, from the clothes to weapons to food, offering beautifully crafted recipes of early Anglo-Saxon fare, created by renowned UK chef Suzanne Pollak. In addition, he has written three new stories exclusive to this book that reveal the man behind the shield—Uhtred as a young boy, as Alfred’s advisor, and as prince. 
    Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

    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.
