The stories highlight the duality of human experience, often set against the haunting backdrop of the Scottish landscape, infusing the prose with an enchanting darkness that resonates deeply with readers familiar with the Romantic period's preoccupation with nature and mysticism. James Hogg, often referred to as the "Ettrick Shepherd," was deeply rooted in the folklore and oral traditions of Scotland, which profoundly influenced his storytelling.

    The Good Soldier was first published in 1915, The iconic novel might be characterized as a melodrama of English upper-class infidelities, cut into little pieces, then retold out of sequence by a narrator who occasionally appears to be half asleep. That is not wholly wrong, yet many have seen in this novel's beguiling voice, innovative narrative technique, and acute depiction of erotic repression a literary masterpiece. In 2015, the BBC ranked The Good Soldier 13th on its list of the 100 greatest British novels.©2022 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) 2021 Eden Garret GiulianoGeoffrey Giuliano is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller 'Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney' and 'Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison'.

    "Greene had wit and grace and character and story and a transcendent universal compassion that places him for all time in the ranks of world literature . . ." —John le Carré 
     
     
      
    Graham Greene's first published novel tells the story of Andrews, a young man who has betrayed his fellow smugglers and fears their vengeance. Fleeing from them, with no hope of pity or salvation, he takes refuge in the house of a young woman, also alone in the world. Elizabeth persuades him to give evidence against his accomplices in court, but neither she nor Andrews is aware that to both criminals and authority, treachery is as great a crime as smuggling. The first step in a brilliant career, The Man Within offers a foretaste of Green's recurring themes of religion, the individual's struggles against cynicism, and the indifferent forces of a hostile world.

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.

    The Wisdom of Father Brown

    The Father Brown stories sit in relation to other detective literature much as the diminutive and seemingly unworldly Priest himself often sits; quietly, thoughtfully and often to be overlooked. However, when he at lasts speaks it is with such understanding of human knowledge that the self-styled sophisticates that surround him are dumbfounded.C.K Chesterton is not concerned with the procedural minutiae of the detective’s work, nor with leaving a trail of red herrings with which to keep us guessing. Father Brown reaches his conclusions through staring into the human psyche, indeed, at times, into the human soul.
