Sinossi

In "The Alaskan," James Oliver Curwood crafts a vivid narrative set against the breathtaking backdrop of Alaska's wilderness. This novel intertwines adventure and romance, centering on the life of an intrepid protagonist whose struggles reflect both the beauty and brutality of nature. Curwood employs a lyrical prose style, rich in descriptive imagery, while addressing themes of survival, human endeavor, and the profound connection between man and the environment. The book captures the zeitgeist of the early 20th century, a period marked by exploration and a burgeoning interest in the untamed frontiers of North America. Curwood, an American author and conservationist, was deeply influenced by his extensive travels and experiences in the northern wilderness. His firsthand encounters with the harsh realities of nature and its untold beauty informed his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and passion. Curwood's commitment to environmental preservation is evident throughout his work, inspiring readers to recognize the grandeur and fragility of the natural world. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate adventure and the intricacies of human relationships set against an exotic landscape. "The Alaskan" invites the reader to embark on a journey not only through the landscapes of Alaska but also through the human spirit's resilience in the face of nature's challenges.

    The most beautiful woman in history. The most dangerous desire ever known. 
    Helen of Troy—queen, lover, myth. A woman whose name ignited a thousand ships and plunged empires into war. But was she truly the cause of Troy’s fall, or just a pawn in a battle far greater than herself? Was she a seductress, a victim, or something far more complex?

    A gripping, immersive experience that will change the way you see one of history’s most infamous women. 
    Are you ready to uncover the dark shadow of desire? Press play and step into Helen’s world.

    "You're Nellie Westrop and don't you forget it. 
    We'll see each other one day, but until we do, take good care of yourself. 
    Live a good life. 
    Now go, my love." 
    From the author of Silver Darlings comes LK Wilde's captivating portrayal of the life of Queenie Read. 
    Heart warming and breaking in equal measure, Queenie of Norwich is perfect for fans of The Foundling, Where the Crawdads Sing, and The Smallest Man. 
    People say you get one life, but I've lived three. 
    I was born Ellen Hardy in 1900, dragged up in Queen Caroline's Yard, Norwich. 
    There was nothing royal about our yard, and Mum was no queen. 
    At six years old Mum sold me. I became Nellie Westrop, roaming the country in a showman's wagon, learning the art of the fair. 
    And I've been the infamous Queenie of Norwich, moving up in the world by any means, legal or not. 
    I've been heart broken, abandoned, bought and sold, but I've never, ever given up. 
    After all, it's not where you start that's important, but where you end up. 
    Based on a true story, Queenie of Norwich is the compelling tale of one remarkable girl's journey to womanhood. 
    Spanning the first half of the 20th century, Queenie's story is one of heartbreak and triumph, love and loss and the power of family. 
    It is a story of redemption, and how, with grit and determination, anything is possible.
