Summary

In "An Essence of the Dusk," F. W. Bain weaves a poetic tapestry that exudes a profound sense of mysticism and introspection. The narrative is imbued with rich symbolic language, capturing the delicate interplay between light and darkness, life and death. Set against an ethereal backdrop, Bain explores themes of transcendence and the ephemeral nature of existence, inviting readers to engage with his philosophical musings on the human condition. The book's stylistic elegance is reminiscent of turn-of-the-century literary movements, where the blending of Eastern philosophies with Western romanticism sparked a resurgence of spiritual exploration in literature. F. W. Bain was a noted scholar and an influential figure in the arena of Indology, which deeply informed his writing. His fascination with ancient texts and cultures is evident in his narrative choices and thematic explorations. Bain's own experiences in the context of the spiritual and the mystical shaped the contemplative essence of this work, making it a profound reflection of his intellectual heritage and philosophical inquiries into existence. Readers seeking a thought-provoking journey through the twilight realms of consciousness will find "An Essence of the Dusk" a rewarding experience. Bain's artful prose and evocative imagery create a resonant atmosphere that lingers long after the final page is turned, inviting us to ponder life's eternal questions.

    In England the Victorian Age was about to become the past and a new age of worldwide wars of horror and slaughter would envelop and decimate generations, forever staining mankind.   
     
    The Century would see the World discover strengths. The Democracies would stand firm against Fascism and later Communism yet still keep its own elite and privileged in power and the rest of us underfoot. 
     
    The World was more connected than ever before.  Culture accelerated its kaleidoscopic and interwoven journey. Transport delivered people by car and train and then aeroplane to far flung corners of the globe.  Empires were at their zenith and ready to fragment with new nations, many troubled, rising from their decay. 
     
    The natural world continued to be plundered and pillaged for its resources by industries who pledged ‘more’ and ‘better’ and would clothe and feed a growing world yet sow the seeds now ready to devastate us in our current times. 
     
    The globe was as vibrant and violent as troubled and tarnished as it ever was.  But new ideas, new political systems, new times changed everything once again.

    'What happened then, some would say, was almost magic.'
    Disregarded and disobedient, ten-year-old Mary Lennox is sent from India to Yorkshire, and put into the care of an uncle she has never met.
    At Misselthwaite Manor, a brokenhearted house full of secrets and strange noises, Mary discovers a garden as lost and neglected as she is. If she can learn to make friends with robins, grumpy gardeners and a boy who speaks to animals, Mary might be able to bring more than just the garden back to life…
    The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett's tale about the magic of nature and the nature of magic, has been a beloved and quietly radical classic of children's literature since its publication in 1911. Holly Robinson and Anna Himali Howard's thrillingly adventurous adaptation was first performed at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, London, in 2024.

    In his third poetry collection from Red Hen Press, Kim Stafford gathers poems that sing with empathy, humor, witness, and story. Poems in this book have been set to music, quoted in the New York Times, posted online in the Academy of American Poets poem-a-day series, gathered in a chapbook sold to benefit Ukrainian refugees, posted online in response to Supreme Court decisions, composed for a painter’s gallery opening, and in other ways engaged a world at war with itself, testifying for the human project hungry for kinship, exiled from bounty, and otherwise thirsting for the oxygen of healing song.

    A timeless epic of war, wrath, and the will of the gods.
    
    In the heat of the Trojan War, the Greek army's greatest warrior, Achilles, withdraws from battle after a bitter dispute with King Agamemnon. As the war spirals into chaos, heroes rise and fall, divine forces meddle in mortal affairs, and honor is tested on every side. But when tragedy strikes, Achilles must confront his rage—and his destiny.
    The Iliad is a gripping exploration of glory and grief, love and loss, in a world where even the strongest are at the mercy of fate. This ancient masterpiece still speaks with urgent power to modern listeneres, reminding us what it means to fight, to suffer, and to be human.
    
    Translated by W. H. D. Rouse. Read by Barnaby Edwards.
