The Duchess and the Jeweller

Virginia Woolf

A man who rose from nothing. A duchess with everything to lose. One irresistible transaction that exposes the truth behind luxury and desire.
In this witty and incisive short story, Virginia Woolf peels back the glittering surface of high society. Oliver Bacon, London's most successful jeweller, is courted by a desperate duchess who tempts him with jewels, promises, and the illusion of acceptance among the elite. As their dance of ambition and vanity unfolds, Woolf reveals the insecurity, longing, and moral compromise hidden beneath wealth and status.

Praised as "a brilliant satire of class and desire," this story sparkles with Woolf's psychological insight and elegant prose. Readers love its crisp tension, vivid characterization, and the quiet sting of its final revelations.

If you enjoy sharp social commentary, compact storytelling, and Woolf's unmistakable narrative voice, this classic is a gem.

Turn the page—and witness a world where temptation gleams brighter than truth.

DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility...

Cindy Anne Mathers

Creating a Nation That Is Fair for Us All 
Cindy Mathers has experienced firsthand the impact of our traumatised, fragmented and broken systems on First Nations people, and indeed us all. She has been mentored by and worked collaboratively with First Nations people for over two decades, learning through respect, deep listening, and truth telling. 
After repeated experiences of burnout, she began searching for solutions outside of current systems. Through personal and ancestral healing, extensive research, and study, she learned that the disrespect and disregard of human rights of the First Nations people at the time of colonization created wounds that remain in our collective psyche and are passed down through generations. 
In DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility, Mathers shares a learning pathway forward, based on respect and deep listening. She created the DELVE formula as a collaborative way to implement change in our nation: 
●       Deconstruct—how did we get here as a nation? 
●       Explore—the impact of abuse of Human Rights on us all 
●       Listen—and learn, with deep presence to the stories of First Nations people 
●       Viable—what First Nations-led / collaborative initiatives are working? 
●       Energise—what works and fund community-led, place-based initiatives 
In these pages, you will see a snapshot of what is possible when we engage the DELVE formula. By applying this pathway to her real-life projects and experiences, Mathers has created a succinct and practical resource for those who wish to learn Cultural Humility and become part of creating a new nation that respects the Human Rights of all.
