Sinopsis

This meticulously edited collection contains the complete novels of the great Frances Burney, as well as her plays, journals, diaries and essays, complemented with her biography. Burney's novels explore the lives of English aristocrats, and satirize their social pretensions and personal foibles, with an eye to larger questions such as the politics of female identity. She has gained critical respect in her own right, but she also foreshadowed such novelists of manners with a satirical bent as Jane Austen and Thackeray. Novels: Evelina Cecilia Camilla The Wanderer Plays: The Witlings Journals & Diaries: The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay Other Works: Brief Reflections Relative to the French Emigrant Clergy Biography: Fanny Burney by Austin Dobson Frances Burney (1752-1840) was an English satirical novelist, diarist and playwright. She is best known for her novels Evelina, Cecilia, Camilla and The Wanderer.

    What Lies Between You and The Good Life?  
    There’s a myth that the entrepreneur can flourish in either life or business. The “Lie of the Either/Or” claims you cannot achieve both. The sad reality is that many entrepreneurs fall victim to this lie, believing the only way to succeed is to suffer.  
    Author Aaron Marcum can relate. In his past entrepreneurial journey, he found himself borrowing $100 to attend a family reunion and sleeping under a desk, to maintain the hustle. Married with six kids, he’d pop home for a quick dinner and dash back to the office to work until the early morning. Overwhelmed and exhausted, his body and brain told him something had to change. 
    Life and business transformed when he discovered The Eight EntreThrive™ Laws which helped him eliminate unhealthy stress, flourish personally, and create the good life:You believe in a better way and a bigger world.Who goes with you will determine where you end upYour staying power is fueled by passionate persistence. Your why illuminates your way.Your future is brighter than what you can see and feel.Ultimate performance flows from your daily focus.The energy you carry carries you.By owning your failures, you can experience limitless freedom.

    AFTER DISCOVERING HER FATHER'S WAR DIARY, a young girl begins the lifelong journey of understanding how his brutal and miraculous war experience shaped their family and faith while bringing new insight to one of the most ambitious and secretive war missions of World War II. MERRILL'S MARAUDERS became the 172nd recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal since George Washington. The text of the diary is included. 
    She understood that her father had been to war and that he did not speak of it, but it was not until adulthood that she came to understand the way his war experiences and PTSD both created and shaped their family. If he had not joined, he would never have met her mother: if he had not volunteered for the "hazardous and dangerous" secret mission that would make him a Marauder, would he have fulfilled his duty to his country? And yet, his time in the Burmese jungle left him with a tiger he took home - one that reared its head rarely but impacted his family and Linda each time. 
    Because of his miraculous survival, Larry Stephenson worked actively in his community upon his return, serving as the Director of Civil Defense for Calcasieu Parish. After watching the destruction wracked by Hurricane Audrey from her family's picture window, Linda witnessed her father and others step up and serve those whose lives had been ended and upended in its wake. Her family's faith and dedication to others shaped Linda's experience and upbringing, and she hopes to bring some of the wisdom and insight her parents and their love brought to her, to others. 
    Her writing career has been dedicated to exploring, with the help of research, interviews, and the insight of experience, the ways love, faith, and trauma build and challenge individuals, relationships, and communities.

    The Red Hot Chili Peppers were going to be a one-time act for a friend's album release party. 
     
     
      
    Forty years later the funk rock band is arguably one of the best known and the longest running in the United States. 
     
     
     
    Everything that happened in 1983 set the course for the rest of the band's career. The scrappy band quickly rose to scene-wide fame, playing all over Los Angeles, and gaining fans and media attention wherever they performed. Before the year was out, they had played approximately thirty shows, put together an early, beloved repertoire, recorded a blistering demo that secured them a recording contract with EMI/Enigma, and lost two of their founding members to a rival band. 
     
     
     
    Out in L.A. is an attempt at finding out exactly what happened during that first year and exploring what it is that makes the Red Hot Chili Peppers so compelling and fresh, even as they continue on their musical journey today.

    The Devil in the Belfry - From...

    Edgar Allan Poe

    Edgar Poe was born in Boston Massachusetts on 19th January 1809. His father abandoned his family the following year and within a year his mother had died leaving him an orphan.   
    He was taken in by the Allan family but never formally adopted although he now referred to himself as Edgar Allan Poe.  His father alternatively spoiled or chastised him and tension was frequent over gambling debts and monies for his education.  His university years to study ancient and modern languages was cut short by lack of money and he enlisted as a private in the army claiming he was 22, it is more probable he was 18. After 2 years he obtained a discharge in order to take up an appointment at the military academy, West Point, where he failed to become an officer. 
    Poe had released his 1st poetry volume in 1827 and after his 3rd turned to prose and placing short stories in several magazines and journals.  At age 26 he obtained a licence to marry his cousin.  She was a mere 13 but they stayed together until her death from tuberculosis 11 years after. 
    In January 1845 ‘The Raven’ was published and became an instant classic.  Thereafter followed the prose works for which he is now so rightly famed as a master of the mysterious and the macabre. 
    Edgar Allan Poe died at the tragically early age of 40 on 7th October 1849 in Baltimore, Maryland. Newspapers at the time reported Poe's death as ‘congestion of the brain’ or ‘cerebral inflammation’, common euphemisms for death from disreputable causes such as alcoholism but the actual cause of death remains a mystery. 
    Poe is also one of a number of authors credited with inventing the detective genre with his Parisian sleuth C. Auguste Dupin.  He featured in three stories including the legendary ‘Murders in the Rue Morgue’ and by sheer deduction, logic and a touch of Gallic arrogance revealed what was hidden to the rest of us.
