Sinopsis

In "The Brontë Family," Francis A. Leyland intricately explores the lives and works of the iconic Brontë siblings—Charlotte, Emily, and Anne—examining the interplay between their personal experiences and creative outputs. Leyland's analytical approach combines biographical narrative with literary critique, delving into how their upbringing in the Yorkshire moors shaped their groundbreaking contributions to English literature. The text is enriched by its nuanced style, reflecting the emotional depth of the Brontë novels while contextualizing them within the socio-political landscape of the 19th century, where women's voices were often marginalized. Leyland, a noted scholar of Victorian literature, draws from a wealth of research on the Brontë family's unique dynamic, shaped by both historical and personal adversities. His own passion for literature, coupled with profound insights into the era's gender constructs, provides a comprehensive backdrop that enhances the understanding of the Brontës' artistic motivations. Leyland's reverence for these literary giants is palpable throughout, positioning them not only as writers but as pivotal figures in the movement for women's literary equity. This book is highly recommended for those intrigued by literary history and the complexities of the creative process. Leyland's thoughtful, engaging prose invites readers to re-examine their appreciation of the Brontë legacy, uncovering the profound connections between their tumultuous lives and their timeless works.

    "If there's a God, I want to see Him. It's pointless to believe in something without proof, and Krishna consciousness and meditation are methods where you can actually obtain God perception. In that way, you can see, hear and play with God. Perhaps this may sound weird, but God is really there next to you."“"My life belongs to Lord Krishna now. I’m just the servant of Krishna.

    Elvis Presley Untamed Heart -...

    Elvis Aaron Presley or simply Elvis, was born in Tupelo, Mississippi ON January 8, 1935, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African-American music to a wider audience. Presley, on rhythm acoustic guitar, and accompanied by lead guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. Presley's first RCA Victor single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number-one hit in the United States. 
     
    In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts, however, and guided by his manager Colonel Tom Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making films and soundtrack albums, most of them critically panned. In 1968, following a break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency.. Years of prescription drug abuse and unhealthy eating habits severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate at the age of 42. 
     
    In this dynamic, hard-hitting audiobook, music biographer Geoffrey Giuliano examines the turbulent life and times of Elvis Presley. With an in-depth, insightful narration by the author as well as rare, archival, unheard interviews. Here is the perfect collection celebrating the king of rock for every dedicated fan, music historian, the media as well as all school, library, institutional, and university collections. An ultra-rare, exciting audio biography!

    The Secret History

    A scandalous and vengeful cult favorite of the Byzantine Empire.
     
    Procopius held a position of esteem in Justinian’s empire as an advisor to the military commander Belisarius. He even wrote the official histories of Justinian’s military conquests, lauding both the emperor and his commander. But secretly… Procopius hated them both, so he wrote Anecdota, later known as Secret History, in private.
     
    Published a thousand years after it was written, Secret History labels Justinian as a demonic figure and a despot and takes huge shots at him, Belisarius, and both of their wives, Theodora and Antonina. This book was suppressed and hidden for hundreds of years because of its capacity to throw the whole empire into disarray, but it was eventually found in its full form in the Vatican Library and then published in 1623.
     
    Filled with explosive revelations and the smart and sardonic voice of Procopius, Secret History will appeal equally to armchair historians and those just looking for a Byzantine way to throw an insult.
