Sinopsis

In "Nobody's Girl" (originally titled "En Famille"), Hector Malot offers a poignant exploration of identity, belonging, and societal norms through the eyes of his youthful protagonist, who navigates a challenging world marked by abandonment and resilience. Written in a realist style emblematic of 19th-century French literature, the narrative employs vivid imagery and emotive language to depict the protagonist's struggle for acceptance and familial connection. Malot deftly intertwines themes of class disparity, love, and sacrifice, painting a tender yet stark portrait of a society that often marginalizes the vulnerable. Hector Malot, a seminal figure in French literature recognized for his contributions to the literary genre of the serialized novel, draws upon his own experiences of hardship and social dynamics to inform his storytelling. Born in 1830, Malot's exposure to diverse social classes and the plight of the disenfranchised can be seen as a foundational influence in crafting

    "In this exciting new series, bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone pay homage to America’s trail-hardened backwoodsmen who, like a fine grain whiskey, only get better with age. In his mountain-man days, Elwood “Firestick” McQueen was practically a living legend. His hunting, tracking, and trapping skills were known far and wide. But it was his deadly accuracy with a rifle that earned him the Indian name “Firestick.” His two best buddies are Malachi “Beartooth” Skinner—whose knife was as fatal as a grizzly’s chompers—and Jim “Moosejaw” Hendricks, who once wielded the jawbone of a moose to crush his enemies in the heat of battle.Of course, things are different nowadays. The trio have finally settled down, running a horse ranch in West Texas—and spending quality time with their lady friends. But if you think these old boys are ready for lives of leisure, think again. Firestick is the town marshal. Beartooth and Moosejaw are his deputies. And when a hired gunman shows up with bullets blazing, these three hard-cases are ready to prove they aren’t getting older.Performed by James Konicek, Kay Eluvian, KenYatta Rogers, Michael Glenn, Nick DePinto, Belsheber Rusape, Marni Penning, Karen Novack, Joe Mallon MJ Casey, Lolita Horne, Nora Achrati, Jonathan Church, Mathew Bassett, Ryan Carlo Dalusung, Todd Scofield, Jonathan Sleep, Rose Elizabeth Supan, Robb Moreira, Kevin Couto, Terence Aselford, Christopher Walker, Alijandro Ruiz, Eric Messner, Rick Rohan, Yasmin Tuazon, Bradley Smith, David Zitney, and Ethel the Basset Hound."

    The Secret of the Growing Gold -...

    Abraham Stoker was born in Dublin, Ireland on the 8th of November 1847, the third of seven children.  
     
    His early years were plagued with such ill-health that he was unable to start school until the age of seven.  He turned the long periods of recovery into an opportunity for thinking and said “I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years”.  
     
    Strikingly at Trinity College, Dublin his health had returned with such vigour that he was named their University Athlete whilst also achieving a BA in Mathematics with honours.  
     
    At this time his interest in theatre became a job offer to be the Dublin Evening Mail’s theatre critic, co-owned by Sheridan Le Fanu.  He now began to also write short stories and in 1872 ‘The Crystal Cup’ was published.  An interest in art developed and he co-founded the Dublin Sketching Club.  
     
    In 1878 came marriage to Florence Balcombe.  She had formerly been courted by Stoker’s acquaintance, Oscar Wilde.  The marriage produced one child.   
     
    Stoker had some years before reviewed Henry Irving’s Hamlet and had dined with him.  That friendship now resulted in a proposal from Irving to move to London and to manage his Lyceum Theatre.  His numerous commercial innovations ensured both he and the theatre thrived.  Irving would also often take Stoker with him when he toured abroad. 
     
    Despite this busy life Stoker continued to write and these works paved the way for his most famous creation, published in 1897, ‘Dracula’.  It is rightly recognised as one of the greatest horror novels of all time and although not the first with a theme of Vampires, it is undoubtedly the most well-known. 
     
    Stoker also wrote poetry and many excellent short stories and continued to write novels and other works throughout his career. 
     
    Politically Stoker supported Home Rule, though only by peaceful means.  He was also keen on following scientific trends particularly in medicine. 
     
    In 1902 his tenure at the Lyceum Theatre ended and although he continued to write his health was deteriorating, mainly due to a series of debilitating strokes. 
     
    Bram Stoker died on the 20th April 1912, in Pimlico, London.  He was 64.
