Beschreibung

Cambrian Tales appeared in serialised form in Ainsworth's Magazine from March 1849 to March 1850 and has not previously been published as a novel.Like the political pamphlet Artegall, also included in this volume, it constitutes part of Jane Williams' attempts to defend Wales against the notorious 'Blue Books', the 1847 government report which damned the Welsh as ignorant, immoral, and barbaric.A comedy of manners, set in and around a Welsh country house, it features characters clearly modelled on Ysgafell's patron, Lady Llanover, and her social circle.Also included are two representative poems, one from Celtic Fables (1862), a feminist reworking of ancient legend, and the previously unpublished 'A Petition' in which a night-cap maker protests against her dire exploitation.Ysgafell's social conscience, her patriotism, and her sardonic humour are evident throughout the volume.

    The Tony Award-nominated writer of The Tale of the Allergist's Wife and the long-running hit Off-Broadway play Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and a Sundance Festival award winner, Charles Busch has created a unique place in the entertainment world as a playwright, LGBT icon, drag actor, director, and cabaret performer, with his extraordinary gift for both connecting with and channeling the leading ladies of show business. 
     
     
     
    Charles writes how ever since his mother's death when he was seven, he has sought out surrogate mothers in his life. In his teens, Charles moved to Manhattan to live with his Auntie Mame-like Aunt Lil, who encouraged Charles's talents and dreams, and eventually he discovered his gifts for writing plays and performing as a male actress. 
     
     
     
    Busch also shares his colorful and sometimes outlandish interactions with film and theatrical luminaries, including Joan Rivers, Angela Lansbury, Rosie O’Donnell, Claudette Colbert, Valerie Harper, Kim Novak, and many others. 
     
     
     
    Full of both humor and heart, Leading Lady is for fans of entertainment books as well as anyone who enjoys real-life stories of artists who break the mold, ditch the boundaries, and find their own unique way to sparkle.

    What defines faith in the face of doubt? How do we reconcile human suffering with the existence of a loving God? And what is the essence of spiritual truth in a skeptical world? These timeless questions lie at the heart of Christian Ethics Collection: Signature Classics, a profound and thought-provoking audio anthology.
    Bringing together three literary giants, this collection is more than a discourse on religion; it is a journey into the human soul, wrestling with the complexities of belief and morality. In A Confession, Leo Tolstoy peels back the layers of his own existential crisis, charting a path from despair to spiritual awakening. With unflinching honesty, the great Russian author challenges conventional dogma and searches for meaning in a world often indifferent to human suffering.
    G.K. Chesterton's Orthodoxy offers a spirited defense of Christianity that dazzles with paradox, wit, and logic. Chesterton's playful yet piercing intellect transforms abstract theology into a vibrant exploration of wonder and reason, reframing skepticism as an opportunity for deeper faith.
    Finally, C.S. Lewis's The Problem of Pain confronts one of humanity's most difficult questions: why must we suffer? Combining rational analysis with profound empathy, Lewis bridges the gap between intellectual inquiry and emotional solace, offering a perspective on pain that is as challenging as it is comforting. Together, these works invite listeners into a dialogue that spans continents, centuries, and spiritual traditions. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, or believer, this collection will ignite reflection and inspire a deeper understanding of the ethical and emotional dimensions of faith.
    Contents:
    1. A Confession by Leo Tolstoy,
    2. Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton, 
    3. The Problem of Pain by C. S. Lewis.

    When he served in Congress, political commentator Joe Scarborough hung a portrait of Harry Truman in his office. This often surprised people, as Truman had left the White House with a low level of popular support. On top of that, Joe was a Republican and Truman a Democrat. But Joe identified most of all as a conservative, especially on foreign policy. Joe was a Cold War hawk, and Truman was the first Cold Warrior. In Saving Freedom (2020), Joe reveals how Truman took the first crucial steps in defending democracy against the threat of the Soviet Union. He explains how the Truman Doctrine came to be, how it was implemented, and its success in transforming the United States from a largely isolationist state to the primary fighter for freedom and peace in the world.

    Over the last 2,000 years, ambitious men have dreamed of forging vast empires and attaining eternal glory in battle, but of all the conquerors who took steps toward such dreams, none were ever as successful as antiquity’s first great conqueror. Leaders of the 20th century hoped to rival Napoleon’s accomplishments, while Napoleon aimed to emulate the accomplishments of Julius Caesar. But Caesar himself found inspiration in Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.), the Macedonian King who managed to stretch an empire from Greece to the Himalayas in Asia at just 30 years old. It took less than 15 years for Alexander to conquer much of the known world. Although his empire was quickly divided, his legacy only grew, and Alexander became the stuff of legends even in his own time.  
    	In the history of war, only a select few men always make the list of greatest generals. Napoleon. Caesar. Alexander. They are always joined by Hannibal, who has the distinction of being the only man who nearly brought Rome to its knees before its decline almost 700 years later. Rome never suffered a more horrifying defeat in its history than at Cannae, and indeed, Hannibal nearly rewrote the course of Western history during the Second Punic War. Even today there remains great debate on just how he accomplished his masterful invasion of Italy across the Alps. Since his army included war elephants, historians still argue over exactly where and how he crossed over 2,000 years after he managed that incredible feat.  
    	The ultimate conqueror, statesman, dictator, visionary, and opportunist, during his time in power Caesar expanded the borders of Rome to almost twice their previous size, revolutionized the infrastructure of the Roman state, and destroyed the Roman Republic for good, leaving a line of emperors in its place. His legacy is so strong that his name has become, in many languages, synonymous with power.
