Sinossi

In "Henner," François Crastre presents a poignant exploration of the complex interplay between memory and identity within the framework of post-war European society. The narrative, infused with a lyrical style, navigates the psychological landscape of its protagonist, Henner, a man grappling with his past amid the ruins of a fractured community. Crastre's prose is characterized by its subtlety and depth, employing a rich tapestry of imagery and symbolism that invites the reader to engage in a profound dialogue about the nature of trauma and reconciliation in a world forever altered by conflict. François Crastre, a renowned French novelist and critic, often draws from his own experiences living through the socio-political upheavals of the 20th century. His academic background—particularly his studies in history and philosophy—infuses "Henner" with a nuanced understanding of human resilience and the fragility of societal structures. Crastre's literary oeuvre frequently reflects an interrogation of personal and collective histories, making this work an important addition to his explorations of human existence in times of crisis. "Henner" is a compelling read for those interested in the intricacies of human psychology set against a rich historical backdrop. Crastre's evocative voice and incisive narrative compel readers to reflect on their own histories and the larger tapestry of human experience. This book is a vital piece for those seeking literature that blends emotional depth with intellectual rigor.

Forgotten Authors The - Volume 4...

Jane Findlater, Charles Foley,...

Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society.
In literature the ambition is much narrower. In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published. And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading. Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number.
In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution. Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it. Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.
Sadly, in the thirst for the new, the recent and the past fell from sight, relegated to dark corners and dusty shelves.
But the printed word is rarely without someone, somewhere busying themselves through piles of papers and books rediscovering what a good story is, whatever its age.

All the Tea in China

Timothy David Mack

Indiana Jones meets Shōgun in All the Tea in China, a searing historical adventure full of treasure, epic thrills, and a ruthless pirate queen … 
The Duke of Devonshire has given Major William Gunn one last chance to save his daughter’s life. All William needs to do is the impossible. He must travel to China—where merely setting foot on shore is a death sentence for a European—then find a way to break into the impenetrable Forbidden City and steal tea from the Dragon Throne itself. 
American frontiersman Nathanial Bidwell would never let William face this perilous journey alone. He owes his friend a life debt, which he hopes to finally repay. But just after glimpsing China’s shores, their mission takes an unexpected turn, and they find themselves ensnared in a conspiracy to overthrow the emperor. Their only hope lies in finding an ancient treasure—and in order to do so they must form an uneasy alliance with the notorious and formidable pirate queen, Lin Mai. To recover the treasure, the unlikely trio must learn to work together to capture and sail the fastest ship on earth—or risk being intercepted by their enemies’ combined forces. 
With an entire civilization in the balance, William, Nate, and Mai must decide: Are they in it for love, money, or All the Tea in China?

His To Fly

Richard Howells Watkins

"His to Fly" by Richard Howells Watkins is a short story published in the late 1920s, where the characters navigate the challenges of early aviation. The narrative revolves around two pilots, Beak Becket and Jerry Tabor, as they grapple with their complicated partnership while flying a biplane. Central to the story is the theme of ambition and the tension between experience and inexperience in pursuit of flight. The plot unfolds as Jerry and Beak prepare for a flight, highlighting their contentious relationship. Beak, a seasoned pilot, often belittles Jerry, who is eager to prove himself. Tensions rise during their journey, particularly when the realities of aerial navigation become perilous amid fog and dwindling fuel. As the story climaxes with a malfunction and impending disaster, Jerry's decisive moment comes when he must choose between saving himself by jumping with a parachute or taking control of the plane that he partly owns. In a courageous act of determination, Jerry takes over the cockpit, demonstrating growth and asserting his newfound identity as a pilot, ultimately leading to their precarious landing.
