Sinopsis

In "Over Strand and Field: A Record of Travel through Brittany," Gustave Flaubert embarks on a richly descriptive journey through the picturesque landscapes of Brittany, blending personal reflection with cultural observation. Written in a fluid, impressionistic style, Flaubert's prose captures the essence of the terrain, the vitality of its people, and the evocative atmosphere of the region. This travelogue serves not only as a documentation of his experiences but also as a meditation on the relationship between nature and human existence, revealing Flaubert's affinity for capturing both beauty and melancholy through vivid imagery and thoughtful introspection. Gustave Flaubert, a pioneering French novelist known for his meticulous attention to detail, approached this work influenced by his own travels and keen observations of everyday life. As the author of the seminal novel "Madame Bovary," Flaubert possessed a profound understanding of the human condition, informing his reflections on Brittany's landscapes and communities. His nuanced prose reflects his commitment to the literary movement known as realism, where he sought to convey truth and authenticity in both setting and character. "Over Strand and Field" is recommended for readers looking to immerse themselves in a poignant exploration of place and identity. Flaubert's ability to capture the spirit of Brittany will resonate with those who appreciate well-crafted travel literature that transcends mere geography, beckoning to a deeper understanding of the human experience. This book is a treasure for anyone yearning for keen observations and evocative storytelling.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    It may well be that Empire has raised generations of its Nation’s kin abroad.  And some, born abroad, adopted England as their home in preference to their own.  For both this lure of ‘Home’ has nourished their ambition whilst all around them stories are to be found that they, with their unique outsider’s view, can create and deliver to our ears their literary masterpieces.

    My Secret Life is an anonymously penned memoir written during a period from the 1840s to the 1880s by a wealthy and sex obsessed English gentleman who refers to himself simply as ‘Walter’. Part confessional, part investigative erotic journalism, it meticulously documents every detail of the author’s prolific sexual encounters, offering us in the process an eye and thigh opening account of life behind closed doors in the Victorian age.
    
    Women, in both mind and body, were the all consuming object of Walter’s interest. From early youth through to old age his quest for erotic discovery and adventure with them was never diminished.
    
    Unlike contemporary 19th century erotic texts, such as The Pearl, whose sole object was to titillate, Walter’s interest in his subjects did not end with the extinguishing of the carnal flame. His hunger to understand the circumstances and minds of the women he encountered is never upstaged by the sex. Their potted life histories, their most intimate desires and acts were shared with him and in turn meticulously recorded by him, written down verbatim while still fresh in his mind.
    
    The resulting poignant record of a lost era and the intimate moments of the women who inhabited it offer us a remarkable insight into the 19th century that cannot be gleaned from any other source.
    
    The complete unabridged text is being released as a fully scored audiofilm (an audio book with accompanying music soundtrack) by film composer Dominic Crawford Collins.
