Beschreibung

In "Men Against the Sea," James Norman Hall masterfully weaves a narrative that captures the harrowing struggles of a group of men cast adrift in the vast, unforgiving ocean following a naval catastrophe. The prose is marked by a vivid realism and poetic cadence, providing a profound exploration of human endurance amid the existential threat of the sea. With its intricate character development and philosophical undertones, the book not only serves as an adventure tale but also engages with themes of fate, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of survival, situating it firmly within the literary tradition of nautical fiction and post-war existentialism. James Norman Hall, an American author and aviator, co-authored the celebrated "Mutiny on the Bounty." His personal experiences during World War I and his passion for the sea heavily influenced his writing. Hall'Äôs own adventures and insights into the human condition lend an authentic depth to the characters in "Men Against the Sea," as he draws upon both his literary acumen and real-life encounters with danger and resilience. This compelling book is a must-read for those intrigued by themes of survival against nature's wrath and the inner workings of the human psyche. Hall'Äôs evocative storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own struggles and triumphs, making it an enduring classic that resonates with anyone seeking inspiration amid adversity.

    A towering figure in the pantheon of twentieth-century literature, Thomas Mann has often been perceived as a dry and forbidding writer—"the starched collar," as Bertolt Brecht once called him. But in fact, his fiction is lively, humane, sometimes hilarious. In these fresh renderings of his best short work, award-winning translator Damion Searls casts new light on this underappreciated aspect of Mann's genius. 
     
     
     
    The headliner of this volume, "Chaotic World and Childhood Sorrow" (in its first new translation since 1936)—a subtle masterpiece that reveals the profound emotional significance of everyday life—is Mann's tender but sharp-eyed portrait of the "Bigs" and "Littles" of the bourgeois Cornelius family as they adjust to straitened circumstances in hyperinflationary Weimar Germany. Here, too, is a free-standing excerpt from Mann's first novel, Buddenbrooks—a sensation when it was first published. "Death in Venice" (also included in this volume) is Mann's most famous story, but less well known is that he intended it to be a diptych with another, comic story—included here as "Confessions of a Con Artist, by Felix Krull." "Louisey"—a tale of sexual humiliation that gives a first glimpse of Mann's lifelong ambivalence about the power of art—rounds out this revelatory, transformative collection.

    Eight months ago they wed for convenience and now it’s time to sign the divorce paperwork. One of them refuses and the other one is secretly pregnant. Can they work past the hurt and betrayal to find their happily ever-after? 
    Max: We have a code word at The Last Stand Saloon—Red Sonja—and the guys know to send up the alert on any six foot tall redhead that enters my bar. Only this time when they call it, I’m not expecting the woman who broke my heart to walk in eight months pregnant with divorce paperwork in hand. Yes, we had an arrangement that did not include forever, but I mean to change her mind. 
    Sonja: I didn’t mean to bring this—motions to very round belly—to Max’s door, but he refuses to sign the divorce paperwork and we have to settle this prior to the big day. We had an agreement, and he never wanted a girlfriend, much less a wife, anyway. So, even though I loved him long before I wrangled him into this farce of a marriage, why won’t he let me let him off the hook? 
    Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up. 
    This is book one in a four book series, Last Stand Saloon: Round Up, Making Up, Cowboy Up, and Giddy Up

    '(An) impressive first collection ... skilfully orchestrated' – Publishers Weekly "starred" review
    'This truly is quality literature of our modern times' – The British Fantasy Society
    'To read Carly Holmes is to be enchanted. Luscious, flowing prose that is never afraid to peer into the wild' – Angela Readman
    Beneath her soft skin covering, my mother was once made of twigs and branches. Sometimes in the autumn I swear there was a gleam of berry in her eye, a sloe-shine peep between the thorny tangle of her lashes.
    In this debut collection of stories Carly Holmes peers into every corner of the strange fiction genre: from rural gothic through to traditional ghost stories and the uncanny. Mothers turn into trees when the sun goes down; Russian Dolls mourn their missing sisters in rotting houses; men offer sacrifices to the monsters who embody their inner wildness; and murderous demons protect young girls' virginity.
    Ranging from flash fiction to novelette, these stories are in turn chilling, playful, and melancholy. The bonds of family and of community, both in their fracturing and their healing states, the uneasy relationship between living in the present and yearning for the past, are themes that thread their way through Figurehead. Every tale is rich with landscapes haunted by loss and longing.
