Summary

Set sail for the South Seas in Jack London's tender and tragic island tales.

On the Makaloa Mat is a unique and deeply emotional collection of short stories set in Hawaii, revealing a different side of Jack London—introspective, lyrical, and human. Through a series of loosely connected vignettes, London captures the cultural richness, heartbreak, and resilience of native Hawaiians and Westerners during a time of change.

Written during the final years of his life, these stories depart from London's usual rugged adventures to explore love, betrayal, aging, memory, and dignity—woven into the natural beauty and spiritual rhythm of the islands.

🌴 This edition includes:

The complete, unabridged short story cycle

Lush illustrations evoking early 20th-century Hawaii

Kindle-optimized formatting for immersive reading

    Unlock the more straightforward side of The Master and Margarita with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, which is widely considered to the author's masterpiece and one of the finest novels of the 20th century. Through three interwoven narrative strands, namely Pontius Pilate's persecution of the man who would later be known as Jesus Christ, a love story set in Moscow in the 1930s and the Devil's visit to that city, the novel delivers biting satire and explores weighty themes such as the interplay between good and evil and the importance of spiritual and intellectual freedom. Due to pervasive censorship in the Soviet Union, the novel was not published until almost 30 years after its author's death, and is now the work on which his reputation rests. Indeed, although Bulgakov died in poverty and obscurity, his writing now enjoys popular and critical acclaim around the world.Find out everything you need to know about The Master and Margarita in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you:• A complete plot summary• Character studies• Key themes and symbols• Questions for further reflectionWhy choose BrightSummaries.com?Available in print and digital format, our publications are designed to accompany you on your reading journey.

    "Think of Singapore instead as the Air-Conditioned Nation—a society with a unique blend of comfort and central control, where people have mastered their environment, but at the cost of individual autonomy, and at the risk of unsustainability." 
 
Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited is an anthology of essays on Singapore politics by Cherian George. It draws upon his influential collection Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000), on the country's politics of comfort and control, and from Singapore, Incomplete (2017), on its underdeveloped democracy. Updated for the impending transition to a new generation of leaders, this 20th anniversary edition of Air-Conditioned Nation offers critical reflections on continuity and change in Singapore’s unique political culture.

    Traitor King - The Scandalous...

    December 11, 1936. The King of England, Edward VIII, has given up his crown, foregoing his duty for the love of Wallis Simpson, an American divorcée. Their courtship has been dogged by controversy and scandal, but with Edward's abdication, they can live happily ever after. 
 
 
 
But do they? This is a story of a royal shut out by his family and forced into exile; of the Nazi attempts to recruit the duke to their cause; and of why the duke, as Governor of the Bahamas, tried to shut down the investigation into the murder of a close friend. It is a story of a couple obsessed with their status, financially exploiting their position, all the while manipulating the media to portray themselves as victims. 
 
 
 
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor were, in their day, the most glamorous exiles in the world, flitting from sumptuously appointed mansions in the south of France to luxurious residences in Palm Beach. But they were spoiled, selfish people, obsessed with their image, and reveling in adulterous affairs. Drawing upon previously unexplored archives, Lownie shows in dramatic fashion how their glittering world was riddled with treachery and betrayal—and why the royal family never forgave the duke for choosing love over duty
