Synopsis

In "Memoirs of James Hardy Vaux," the author presents a compelling account of his tumultuous life, beginning with his upbringing in the midst of London's criminal underbelly and culminating in his transportation to the penal colony of Australia. Vaux's narrative is distinguished by its candid prose and personal reflections, embodying the literary style of the early 19th century, where confessional storytelling intertwines with social critique. The memoir serves not only as a vivid chronicle of a convict's experiences but also as a poignant commentary on the penal system and societal norms of the time, capturing the struggles of identity, redemption, and the search for freedom amid adversity. James Hardy Vaux (1782-1852) was a noted English convict turned writer whose perilous journey through the criminal justice system greatly informed his writings. His own encounters with crime and punishment, along with subsequent transportation to Australia, lend authenticity to his memoir. Vaux's position in the shifting landscape of colonial Australia, as a reformed individual, provided a unique perspective on the human condition and the possibility of transformation, themes that resonate throughout his work. Recommended for readers intrigued by historical narratives, "Memoirs of James Hardy Vaux" offers a rich tapestry of life experiences, moral dilemmas, and reflections on society's injustices. Vaux's eloquent storytelling invites readers to engage with the complexities of redemption and the enduring spirit of resilience in the face of hardship.

The Lad Called Rate

Donna Gene Stankey, Ramona Hammel

As a young lad, Rate realized how content he was living on a farm. Why there were intriguing places to explore, several animals to tend to and chores to be done. His favorite animals were: Mikey, the driving horse and Grip, the family dog. His chores consisted of: churning butter, hauling kindling for the woodstove, turning the crank on the wringer washer and going to the corner, to fetch the mail. He knew it was only a matter of time till his pa would let him drive the buggy or a team of horses for field work by himself. This was much more appealing to him than allthose "wimmen chores" as he called them. However, one thing Rate never understood, was the reason why his folks and grandparents favored his sister, Blanche, over him. Guessed they mostly didn't care for boys. 'Peared to him to be the "Setterington way", whether he liked it or not. The characters' origins are constituted well in conversation, wherein inflections are present and included authentically. With candor andfirm precision, the Southern turns of phrases and slang result in additional background. Occasions of dithering and heavy pauses further enhance the dialogue, as when Milly constantly pauses as his wife shares her fazed view of their son's antics.

Serial Killers - Biographies of...

Kelly Mass

This book contains the following titles: 
1 - Ted Bundy was one of the most infamous rapists and sexual predators, necrophiles, and murderers in the western part of the United States. Having been abused in his childhood and fed pornographic material from an early age, his crimes became more daring, violent, and vicious as he got a thrill from dismembering or sexually tormenting one victim after another. At the end of his life, after several escapes from prison, he was convicted and got the electric chair. Even then, despite his confessions, his manipulative ways seemed to have so much influence on the women he had dated, that many still proclaimed their love for him and were sad to see him leave this world. 
2 - Al Capone was an infamous mob boss between the two world wars, in the city of New York and surrounding areas. His name and style have been emulated in movies. The mass shootings, tax evasion, and revenge on Italian murders in the mafia gangs on the United States east coast were so notorious that they have become iconic and stereotyped. How did Al Capone get the scars on his face? How did he manage to control so much of the gangs in the cities? How was he able to bribe the police, evade taxes, and become a terror for anyone who opposed him? And how did his life finally come to an end? 
3 - Jack the Ripper was an unknown serial killer active in the mainly poor parts around the Whitechapel district of London in the year 1888. In both the criminal case files and modern journalistic books, the killer was referred to as the Whitechapel Killer and Leather Apron. He caused quite some havoc, going after some of the most impoverished neighborhoods and killing victim after victim, without ever being found. The British police was dumbstruck and carried out multiple investigations, coming up with various suspects but never able to pinpoint who did it or why.
