Synopsis

In "Geronimo's Story of His Life," the renowned Apache leader presents a poignant memoir that intricately weaves personal narrative with a broader historical context. Written primarily in collaboration with the American journalist S.M. Barrett, the book offers a first-person perspective on the struggles, resilience, and cultural identity of the Apache people during a time of immense colonial disruption. The literary style combines oral tradition with written prose, creating a vivid portrayal of Geronimo's life, including his legendary battles, cultural practices, and the poignant loss of his homeland, thereby providing invaluable insight into Native American histories often overlooked in mainstream discourse. Geronimo, born in 1829, emerged as a prominent figure in the Apache Wars against the United States, driven by experiences of personal loss and a deep-seated commitment to his people's way of life. As a leader, his fierce resistance and negotiation skills shaped both his legacy and the historical narrative of indigenous rights. His story reflects not only the militaristic conflicts but also the deep spiritual connection the Apache have with their land, which is essential for understanding the struggles faced by Native Americans during the 19th century. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of Native American history and identity will find Geronimo's memoir an essential read. It transcends typical autobiography, serving as both a historical document and a profound reflection on resistance and survival, inviting readers to engage with the complexities of cultural memory and the ongoing repercussions of colonization.

Bondi Pioneer

Milton Milligan

An inspiring true story of an eleven year old boy’s rise from the tragic memories and utter despair of his years in an English Workhouse. His dreams and hope for a better life in the fledgeling Colony of Sydney, New South Wales, became a reality when in 1833 he emigrated with his wife and three small children. There he opened his business as a high class Saddler and Shoe and Boot maker in George Street. Through his extraordinary skills as a shrewd businessman, he was able to become a wealthy influential entrepreneur. Over the next 58 years, with the help of his large and devoted family, he was able to make a huge contribution, in business, local government, as well as socially and spiritually as a prominent Church Leader. Not only was his influence felt in the Eastern Suburbs, in particular, Waverley and Bondi, where he lived, but all of Sydney and parts of New South Wales. Joseph Dickson’s story has an important place in the history of our early development and as such deserves to be told in its entirety. Those who choose to read it will be richly rewarded.

Queens Who Ruled England The:...

Editors Charles River

Until the implementation of new legislation on March 26, 2015, men were given preference to women in the British royal line. This system of male primogeniture meant that women seldom inherited the throne, and even when they did, they were often dominated by male councillors. Those women who married British kings gained the title of Queen, but they were queen consorts, holding the title with no power. This meant only a select few women ruled in their own right.
When Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, many commentators heralded the beginning of her reign as the second Elizabethan age. The first one, of course, concerned the reign of Henry VIII’s second surviving daughter and middle surviving child, Queen Elizabeth I, one of England’s most famous and influential rulers. It was an age when the arts, commerce and trade flourished. It was the epoch of gallantry and great, enduring literature. It was also an age of wars and military conflicts in which men were the primary drivers and women often were pawns.
Then, there was Queen Mary I of England, who earned herself the less-than-pleasant moniker of “Bloody Mary.” While in power, Mary vowed to restore papal authority and revert England to Catholicism, placing the bullseye on Protestants. Laws against heresy made a bloody comeback, which saw hundreds of Protestants dragged to the stakes.
England has had no shortage of influential monarchs, but only Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria had their nation’s age literally named after them. Both the Elizabethan era and Victorian era have come to symbolize a golden age of peace and progress in every aspect of British life, with the long reigns of both queens also providing stability.

The Voyage of The Aegre - From...

Nicholas Grainger

The Voyage of The Aegre is a dramatic true account of how a plan to sail a little fishing boat from the Highlands of Scotland down the coast to England turned into a trans-oceanic odyssey for Nick and Julie Grainger. It was the 1970s and their simple wooden boat was equipped with none of the aids modern yachts enjoy. Navigation was by sextant and compass, food cooked on a Primus, and weather forecasting by guesswork. Diligent preparation before they set sail eventually saved their lives in the violent storms and dangers they encountered, vividly described in this absorbing narrative. Their capsize at night in a fierce storm south of Tahiti and subsequent survival makes a gripping climax to the story. A born storyteller, the author has produced a stirring tale that ranks among classic sea adventures. 
From a simpler age of sailing when you were led across oceans by the sun and the stars, this book deserves to join the classics. It is simply a top class read - Paul Heiney, Royal Cruising Club. 
A terrific adventure - John Ridgway, 1966 North Atlantic rower, Round the World sailor, Adventurer, Author. 
One of the greatest sailing stories I have ever read - John Quirk, Afloat magazine.

My Secret Life Vol 2 Chapter 18

Dominic Crawford Collins

My Secret Life, the anonymously written erotic memoirs of a Victorian English gentleman who refers to himself simply as 'Walter' is one of the most idiosyncratic and sexually obsessed books ever written. In this vast autobiographical confessional the author recounts, in meticulous detail, his sexual exploits throughout the course of a life devoted entirely to the pursuit of carnal pleasure. Through this compelling exploration of the author's sexual behaviour we are left with a uniquely entertaining insight into life behind the closed doors of Victorian society. My Secret Life is evocative, provocative, sorrowful, suspenseful, obscene, exciting and highly erotic...in it we are privy to the thoughts, emotions and memories of one of the most unusual, unsung and colourful English eccentrics of the Victorian era.

Now, for the first time, the complete unabridged version of this unique text is being narrated and scored by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins as an 'audiofilm' (an audiobook in which the emotional landscape is explored through the music score). Each chapter of My Secret Life will be released at monthly intervals over the next ten or so years culminating in what is likely to become the longest audio book ever to be produced.
