Beschreibung

In "The Settlers in Canada," Frederick Marryat presents a vivid depiction of pioneer life in the Canadian wilderness, blending adventure and social commentary with a rich, descriptive literary style. The narrative follows the lives of a group of settlers seeking fortune and stability in an untamed land, capturing their struggles against nature, societal challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. Marryat employs a keen sense of observation, infusing the text with a sense of realism that reflects both traditional narrative structures and emerging themes of individualism prevalent in 19th-century literature, showcasing the complexities of colonial expansion and human resilience. Frederick Marryat, a retired naval officer, was profoundly influenced by his maritime experiences and the burgeoning interest in Canada during the Victorian era. His background not only informed his understanding of adventure and survival but also imbued his writing with a unique perspective on the colonization narrative, shaped by his own observations of the natural world and societal transformations. These elements culminated in this work, which serves to connect readers to the land that is both foreign and familiar. "The Settlers in Canada" is a must-read for those interested in early Canadian literature, colonial history, and the dynamic interplay between man and nature. It invites readers to reflect on the challenges and triumphs of settler life, offering an intimate portrait of perseverance that resonates across generations.

    A compulsively readable story of passion, adventure and a woman's quest for independence set against the colourful backdrop of 19th century Bendigo and the goldfields of Ballarat. 
     1854, Ballarat, Victoria When Nell Amberton's husband is shot dead by a bushranger, there are few who grieve his passing, and Nell least of all. How could she miss the monster who had abused her from the day they wed – the man who had already killed his innocent first wife? But his death triggers a chain of events that seem to revolve around the handsome bushranger who murdered him – a man to whom Nell, against her better judgement, is drawn. But Nell has far more than a mysterious stranger to worry about. With a mess of complications around her late husband's will, a vicious scoundrel of a father trying to sell her off in matrimony, and angry relatives pursuing her for her husband's gold, she is more concerned with trying to ensure her safety and that of her friend, goldfields laundry woman Flora, than dealing with the kind of feelings that led her astray so catastrophically before.After the violence on the goldfields, Nell's fate also hangs in the balance. It seems that, after all, she might need to do the one thing she has avoided at all costs … ask for the help of a man.

    "Sense and Sensibility," written in 1811, was the first of six books by legendary British author Jane Austen.   
    In the story, we meet Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters, who are betrayed by a family member and left in dire financial straits. Since none of the girls will come with a dowry, the prospects of their marrying well are extremely unlikely. One day, while out for a walk in the rain, the middle daughter, Marianne, twists her ankle and is rescued by the handsome Mr. Willoughby. Though cautioned by her older sister Elinor to be wary, Marianne - blinded by love - rushes into the budding romance headlong...with grim consequences.   
    What follows is a thrilling and fascinating tale of romance, intrigue, disloyalty and redemption in what has become one of the most celebrated and cherished works of fiction in literary history. Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook narrator Sara Nichols, best known for her narration of Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and all of the books written by Jane Austen, which are also available on this platform.
