Sinopse

In "The Letters of Jane Austen," readers are granted intimate access to the thoughts and reflections of one of English literature's most revered authors. This collection spans the years of Austen's life, showcasing her keen observations on society, love, and familial relationships, all articulated with her characteristic wit and irony. The letters reveal much about her literary process, explore her complex characters, and highlight the societal constraints of early 19th-century England. The intimate and candid nature of these correspondences provides a valuable context to Austen's novels, enriching the experience of her fiction through a lens of personal insight and historical nuance. Jane Austen, born in December 1775, navigated the societal mores of her time with a unique perspective shaped by her close-knit family and educational experiences. A keen observer of the social dynamics around her, her letters offer glimpses into her writing struggles, discussions on the role of women, and insights into her relationships, particularly with her siblings. Often considered a critic of social status and class constraints, these letters provide essential background for understanding her novels like "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility." For those wishing to delve into the mind of Jane Austen, "The Letters of Jane Austen" is an indispensable read. It not only complements her literary oeuvre but also allows readers to appreciate the personal struggles and joys of the author herself. This compelling collection serves both scholars and enthusiasts, inviting them to engage deeper with Austen's enduring legacy.

    It is said that books are written to bring sunshine into our dull, grey lives – to show us places we want to escape to, lives we want to live, people we want to love. But there are also stories that can only be found in the deepest, darkest corners of the library. Stories about the unexplained, of lost souls, of things that go bump before the silence. Before the screaming. 
    And some stories just disappear. Stories printed in old newspapers, broadcast live on the wireless, sometimes not even published at all – these are the stories you cannot find on even the dustiest of library shelves. 
    This follow-up volume to the bestselling Ghosts from the Library resurrects forgotten tales of the supernatural by some of the most accomplished mystery authors of all time. Close the windows. Draw the curtains. Just don’t let the lights go out… 
    Tony Medawar, a top editor in the realm of fiction, presents Wicked Spirits, a collection of horror and crime stories that delve into the unexplained and the supernatural. These anthologies, steeped in traditional storytelling, are a must-read for fans of detective thrillers.

    Chicago Heights was long the seat of one of the major street crews of the Chicago Outfit, but its importance has often been overlooked and misunderstood. 
     
     
     
    The crew's origins predate Prohibition, when Chicago Heights was a developing manufacturing center with a large Italian immigrant population. Its earliest bosses struggled for control until a violent gang war left the crew solidified under the auspices of Al Capone. For the remainder of the twentieth century, the boys from Chicago Heights generated large streams of revenue for the Outfit through its vast gambling enterprises, union infiltration and stolen auto rackets. For the first time, the history of the Chicago Heights street crew is traced from its inception through its last known boss.
