Grey Roses

Henry Harland

Beschreibung

Henry Harland's 'Grey Roses' is a captivating novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the limits of societal conventions in late 19th-century England. Written in a lyrical and poetic style, the book delves into themes of love, desire, and duty, while also providing a vivid portrayal of the era's social hierarchy and moral standards. Harland's rich prose and attention to detail create an immersive reading experience that will transport readers back to a bygone time of opulence and restraint. 'Grey Roses' stands out as a poignant and timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Henry Harland, a respected author and editor in his time, drew inspiration from his own experiences in high society and his keen observations of human behavior to craft this novel. His background in publishing and literary circles undoubtedly informed his exploration of themes such as love, loyalty, and betrayal in 'Grey Roses'. I highly recommend 'Grey Roses' to readers interested in Victorian literature, romance, and social commentary. Harland's elegant prose and nuanced characters make this novel a compelling read that will leave a lasting impression.

Geoffrey Giuliano

Ginger Baker was, without question, the foremost drummer of his generation, having formed supergroups Cream and Blind Faith. In the early 1990s, author Geoffrey Giuliano received a call from Baker asking if he would be interested in writing his autobiography. From there, a turbulent, yet fruitful relationship ensued between the two. While the book they wrote together has yet to be published, here, at last, are the exclusive, in-depth, upfront, and highly personal conversations the two unlikely friends recorded in a Clarence, New York studio all those years ago. Ginger speaks his mind, holding forth on the particulars of his amazing life and work and in so doing reveals something he has always ardently tried to hide — that he is really a lovely, caring, sensitive man.

Golden Bones - An Extraordinary...

Sichan Siv

While the United States battled the Communists of North Vietnam in the 1960s and '70s, the neighbouring country of Cambodia was attacked from within by dictator Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. The Khmer Rouge imprisoned, enslaved, and murdered the educated and intellectual members of the population, resulting in the harrowing "killing fields"–rice paddies where the harvest yielded nothing but millions of skulls. Young Sichan Siv–a target since he was a university graduate–was told by his mother to run and "never give up hope!" Captured and put to work in a slave labor camp, Siv knew it was only a matter of time before he would be worked to death–or killed. With a daring escape from a logging truck and a desperate run for freedom through the jungle, including falling into a dreaded pungi pit, Siv finally came upon a colorfully dressed farmer who said, "Welcome to Thailand." He spent months teaching English in a refugee camp in Thailand while regaining his strength, eventually Siv was allowed entry into the United States. Upon his arrival in the U.S., Siv kept striving. Eventually rising to become a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Siv returned with great trepidation to the killing fields of Cambodia in 1992 as a senior representative of the U.S. government. It was an emotionally overwhelming visit.

Fighting Mad - One Man's...

Michael Calvert

Michael Calvert was one of the legendary figures of the Second World War. He hit the headlines as 'Mad Mike' after the first Chindit campaign in 1943, with a reputation as a tough and daring leader of guerrilla troops. He was one of the first men selected for the Chindits by the controversial General Orde Wingate. He became Wingate's right-hand man - both in fierce jungle fighting and in battles against stick-in-the-mud staff officers. His speciality was penetrating behind enemy lines. Mad Mike fought in the snow and ice of Norway, in the steaming jungles of Burma, and on the battlefields of Europe where in 1945 he commanded the crack Special Air Service Brigade.
