Indiana

George Sand

Beschreibung

In "Indiana," George Sand crafts a richly woven narrative that explores the constraints of 19th-century society through the eyes of its spirited protagonist. Set against the backdrop of colonial Saint-Domingue and the restrictive norms of French aristocracy, the novel delves deeply into themes of love, autonomy, and the quest for personal fulfillment. Sand's lyrical prose blurs the boundaries between realism and romanticism, reflecting the inner turmoil of her characters while pushing the envelope on contemporary gender expectations and the nature of passion. The interplay of exotic settings and philosophical reflections situates "Indiana" firmly within the literary context of early feminist literature, making it a poignant critique of societal oppression. George Sand, born Amantine Lucile Aurore Dupin, was a pioneering figure in the literary world known for her unconventional lifestyle and radical views on gender and individual freedom. Drawing from her own experiences as a woman who defied societal norms, Sand's writing often mirrored her passionate beliefs about love, independence, and societal reform. "Indiana" embodies her advocacy for women's rights and reflects her discontent with the limited roles available to women of her time. This novel is highly recommended for readers interested in early feminist literature and those seeking a profound exploration of individuality against the backdrop of societal constraints. Sand's compelling characterizations and evocative storytelling will resonate with anyone who appreciates the struggle for freedom and authentic self-expression.

The Girl from the War Room - A...

Catherine Law

A BRAND NEW poignant and sweeping historical love story of courage, longing and impossible choices. Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn and Mandy Robotham!✨📖
Through the trees in St James's Park she spotted the white facades of the Whitehall offices, and her stomach contracted. But it wasn’t nerves. Fortitude, yes, and a kind of hell-bent willingness. An understanding of the importance of her work; to do something, however small, to help. A privilege.
1941: A world away from idyllic childhood summers spent in Devon, Cassie Marsh steps through the sandbagged entrance to the War Room, determined to do her part for the war effort.
The air crackling with tension, the urgency of whispered conversations, the weight of secrets – nothing in her quiet upbringing has prepared her for this. Here, women like her are expected to work tirelessly, remain composed, even as their homes – and lives – are devastated by the Blitz.
But Cassie’s heart is already divided between love and duty. She dreams of rich summers at Greenaways from a lifetime ago, before her world was torn apart. She dreams of one person… the one she cannot – but must – forget.
And as her family begs her to return to safety, to the soothing, reassuring walls of the country house, Cassie must decide where her heart really lies. In times of war, can you ever afford to question your loyalty?
A evocative and beautifully written wartime story of love, duty and courage.

His Fateful Heap of Days - More...

John Wiltshire

“Into his fateful heap of days the soul of man is cast.” 
Only a few months from his fiftieth year, Nikolas is feeling a distinct wobble in his formidable certainties. Aleksey Primakov appears to have become irrelevant. All he needs, therefore, is to be dragged into an adventure with Devon's answer to the three musketeers. How many times can he tell Ben and his moronic friends that a mutilated body buried on Dartmoor has nothing to do with them? But not only does this desecration slowly become their business, it cuts to the heart of the life they have created together. It's just as well, perhaps, that Generals never do actually retire...

The viral family robinson

Andrew Hibbert

Ryan Shaw, a disillusioned journalist in the provincial English town of Bardow, comes to suspect that his new neighbours, the Robinsons, have committed a crime. As he investigates he starts to uncover a conspiracy - not of some sinister cult or powerful elite but of ordinary people, people who refuse to be 'managed' any more. 
Inspired by Johann David Wyss's classic The Swiss Family Robinson, this viral version of the eponymous family extols the principles of pragmatism, co-operation and self-reliance for the twenty-first century.
