Sinossi

In "Lady Byron Vindicated," Harriet Beecher Stowe crafts a compelling narrative that fiercely defends Lady Byron against the allegations of her character by her estranged husband, Lord Byron. Through a combination of thorough research, personal letters, and emotive prose, Stowe not only reconstructs the tumultuous relationship between the Byronic couple but situates it within the broader contexts of gender, honor, and societal expectation in the 19th century. Her literary style embodies the sentimentalism prevalent in her era while also incorporating elements of feminist thought, making it a powerful critique of the patriarchal structures that shape women's lives. Harriet Beecher Stowe, renowned for her groundbreaking novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was a prominent abolitionist and advocate for women's rights. Her own experiences with the injustices faced by women and marginalized individuals inform her portrayal of Lady Byron as a victim of circumstance and societal scorn. Stowe's exploration of personal integrity versus public perception reflects her commitment to social reform and her belief in the moral imperatives of justice and truth. This book is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of feminist literature and historical biographies. Stowe's meticulous examination of Lady Byron's life not only reclaims her from the shadows of history but also resonates with contemporary discussions on women's rights and social equity. Readers will find themselves challenged and inspired by this eloquent plea for justice.

    The awe-inspiring story of explorer David Thompson, whose expeditions helped shape western North America 
     
     
     
    In this true story of adventure, author Jack Nisbet recreates the life and times of David Thompson—fur trader, explorer, surveyor, and mapmaker. From 1784 to 1812, Thompson explored western North America, and his field journals provide the earliest written accounts of the natural history and indigenous cultures of the what is now British Columbia, Alberta, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Thompson was the first person to chart the entire route of the Columbia river, and his wilderness expeditions have become the stuff of legend. 
     
     
     
    Jack Nisbet tracks the explorer across the continent, interweaving his own observations with Thompson's historical writings. The result is a fascinating story of two men discovering the Northwest territory almost two hundred years apart.

    REVISED AND EXPANDED AND BESSER THAN EVER! 
    For more than six decades, Joe Besser brought gales of laughter to millions—in vaudeville, on Broadway, on radio, in motion pictures, and on television. From his days working as a bumbling assistant to the world-famous Thurston the Magician, he carved out success with his own act—that of a childlike sissy who brandished his foils with a flick of the wrist and such hilarious verbal assaults as “Ooh, you crazy you!” and “Not so f-a-s-t!” From stage to film and television screens, the famed roly-poly comedian left an indelible mark–from starring in his own feature films and short-subject series for Columbia Pictures, to dishing out huge laughs on scores of popular programs of the day, most notably as the malevolent brat “Stinky” on The Abbott and Costello Show, to stepping in to replace Shemp Howard after his death as a member of Three Stooges comedy team. Followed by countless more laugh out-loud performances in movies and on television, from playing the frustrated superintendent, Jillson, on The Joey Bishop Show to voicing Saturday morning cartoons, his legacy still lives on today, thanks to reruns of his classic work. Illustrating a passing age of American humor, ONCE A STOOGE, ALWAYS A STOOGE tells the whole story. Jam-packed with timeless remembrances, Besser vividly recounts it all–the personal ups and downs, the classic skits and routines that became his hallmark, and behind-the-scenes stories of show business icons who enriched his life and career, including Abbott and Costello, Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Milton Berle, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Olsen and Johnson, and many others, in this charming and thoughtfully written memoir.
