Sinopsis

In 'Call of the Caribbean,' H. A. Lamb invites readers into the treacherous and enchanting world of seafaring adventure. The narrative follows the seasoned skipper of the schooner 'The Madeleine,' as he finds his routine voyage to Polynesia and the South Seas entangled with the ambitions of a headstrong youth named John Stuart, who claims to be the son of the schooner's owner. Lamb's prose brims with the rich tradition of maritime literature, offering compelling character studies against the canvas of the untamed ocean. Seamlessly weaving suspense and introspection, the book captures the volatile essence of human determination and the unpredictable sea. The literary style of Lamb pays homage to the timeless odyssey motif, while presenting it through a distinctively Caribbean lens, lending the story an aura both familiar and exotic within its literary context. Lamb's exploration of the relationship between the individual and the forces of nature stands as a testament to the genre's enduring appeal. H.A. Lamb's own profound connection with the sea, undoubtedly the bedrock from which this novel emerges, colors every page of the 'Call of the Caribbean.' Lamb's background, possibly steeped in maritime experiences or scholarly pursuits of naval lore, informs the detailed and vividly painted scenarios of 'The Madeleine's' voyage. The author's insight into the psychological complexities of his characters—especially the romantic allure the sea holds for the young protagonist—may well stem from personal contemplation or observation, reflecting an intrinsic understanding of the siren call that drives seafarers to confront nature's might. 'Call of the Caribbean' is a compelling recommendation for readers hungry for the thrill of maritime adventures and the exploration of human resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. Lamb's eloquent depiction of the characters' inner journey, entwined with a perilous physical voyage, will entice aficionados of literary classics and newcomers alike. The book also promises to be an engaging read for those fascinated by the interface between man and nature, serving as a profound reflection on the universal quest for meaning and identity against the vast backdrop of the sea.

    The noted music theorist presents a brilliant and sweeping study of Schoenberg’s compositions and his influence on the generations that followed.   A pioneering composer and leader of the Second Viennese School, Arthur Schoenberg was one of the most important figures in twentieth-century classical music. In Schoenberg and His School, composer, conductor, and music theorist René Leibowitz offers an authoritative analysis of Schoenberg’s groundbreaking contributions to composition theory and Western polyphony.   In addition to detailing his subject’s major works, Leibowitz also explores Schoenberg’s influence on the works of his two great disciples, Alban Berg and Anton Webern. Leibowitz considers how the influences of all three men have, in turn, created new movements within contemporary music today.
