Sinopsis

In "The Pearl Divers and Crusoes of the Sargasso Sea," Gordon Stables immerses readers in a rich tapestry of adventure, exploration, and human resilience. Set against the enigmatic backdrop of the Sargasso Sea, Stables employs a vivid narrative style characterized by evocative descriptions and a robust sense of place. His writing brings to life the diverse cultures and characters of pearl divers and shipwrecked explorers, deftly interweaving themes of survival, hope, and the eternal struggle against nature's fierce elements. This work stands as a testament to the late 19th-century fascination with maritime lore and colonial adventures, part of a broader literary trend that explores the intersections of civilization and the uncivilized world. Gordon Stables, a prolific Scottish author and naval surgeon, draws upon his extensive travels and experiences to craft this compelling narrative. His personal voyages through various seas and encounters with different cultures fuel the authenticity found in his storytelling. Furthermore, Stables's passion for the ocean and maritime history uniquely positions him to convey the intricacies and dangers faced by those who inhabit these distant waters, making his voice both authoritative and engaging. This book is highly recommended for readers who relish tales of adventure and exploration, offering not just an exhilarating reading experience but also a deep exploration of the human spirit. Stables's work is ideal for those interested in maritime history, and its thrilling escapades will captivate anyone eager for tales of resilience against the odds.

    A Legend of Old Egypt - From...

    Aleksander Głowacki who wrote under the nom de plume Boleslaw Prus was born on 20th August 1847 at Hrubieszów in the Kingdom of Poland, at that time, controlled by the Russian Empire. 
    At three his mother died and then at nine his father.  Female relatives helped raise him but at 15 he joined the Polish uprising against the might of Imperial Russia.  Wounded on the battlefield, arrested and imprisoned, he was later released into the care of a relative and resumed secondary school and then Warsaw University but poverty forced him to leave after two years.  At some point he developed agoraphobia which often caused problems. 
    In 1869, he enrolled in the Forestry Department at Puławy but was soon sacked and so he began a system of self-education that led to work as a newspaper columnist on a wide-ranging series of topics that eventually became the ‘Weekly Chronicles’ and spanned 40 years. 
    With his finances now stabilized he married and then adopted his late brother-in-law’s son.  
    It seems he had doubts as to the scale of his talents and early on adopted the name ‘Boleslaw Prus’ for both his journalistic and literary offerings. 
    His work as a short-story writer met with much acclaim. He wrote several dozen of them, originally published in newspapers and ranging in length from micro-story to novella. His keen observation of everyday life and sense of humor are evident in them.  
    During his career he also wrote novels. After ‘Pharoah’, in 1895, he embarked on a four-month journey taking in Berlin, Dresden, Nuremberg, Rapperswil in Switzerland, where he stayed for two months, and his final destination, Paris.  Here his agoraphobia was so bad he couldn’t cross the Seine.  
    However, his writing continued and in 1911 his novel ‘Changes’, though uncompleted, began to be serialised.  It was never finished. 
    Boleslaw Prus died on 19th May 1912, at his Warsaw apartment.  He was 64.  A National Hero, thousands attended both his funeral service and interment.
