Sinopse

In "The Greater Power," Harold Bindloss crafts a compelling narrative that navigates themes of ambition, nature's majesty, and the relentless struggle between man's aspirations and the elemental forces around him. Set against the rugged backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, the novel employs vivid imagery and lyrical prose, reflecting the author's deep admiration for the natural world. The story intricately weaves together the lives of its characters, showcasing their personal quests for fulfillment and the profound connections they forge with the land and each other, all while encapsulating the social context of the early 20th century that underscored the conflicts of progress and preservation. Harold Bindloss, a British-born Canadian writer, settled in Canada during his formative years, which profoundly influenced his literary output. His intimate familiarity with the Canadian landscape—shaped by his own experiences in agriculture and as a pioneering figure in the literary realm—imbues "The Greater Power" with authenticity and depth. Bindloss's works, often characterized by their exploration of the interplay between civilization and nature, ultimately reflect his belief in the vital connection to the land. Readers seeking an insightful exploration of human resilience against nature's grandeur will find "The Greater Power" a rich and rewarding experience. Bindloss's masterful storytelling invites readers to contemplate both the personal and universal challenges of existence, making this novel a classic worth revisiting for its timeless insights and evocative style.

    Step into the Most Bold and Imaginative "Biography" Ever Written.
    
    Spanning three centuries and two genders, Virginia Woolf's Orlando is a dizzying, poetic journey through history and identity. The story begins in the Elizabethan era with Orlando, a young nobleman and aspiring poet who enjoys the favor of the Queen. After falling into a deep sleep that lasts days, Orlando awakens in the 18th century to find they have undergone a mysterious transformation: they are now a woman.
    
    Unburdened by the constraints of time or biology, Orlando lives through the Enlightenment, the Victorian era, and into the "present" day of 1928. Throughout this incredible voyage, Woolf explores the fluidity of the human spirit, the art of writing, and the shifting roles of men and women in society.
    
    Written as a "love letter" to Vita Sackville-West, Orlando is a cornerstone of queer literature and a daring departure from the traditional novel. It remains one of Woolf's most accessible and joyful works—a high-spirited blend of historical fiction, satire, and fantasy.
    
    Experience a story that transcends time and gender. Buy "Orlando" today and discover a masterpiece of modern imagination.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
     
    From their pens to your your ears.
