Sinopsis

In "Henry the Sixth," John Blakman presents a vivid exploration of the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses, delving into the complexities of power, identity, and the human condition. Blakman's narrative style is characterized by its rich imagery and intricate character development, intertwining historical fact with poignant emotional depth. The text is situated within the broader literary context of historical fiction, yet it stands out for its balanced portrayal of both the political intrigue and personal struggles faced by its characters, particularly the troubled King Henry VI, whose reign symbolizes a fragile monarchy amidst chaos. John Blakman, an accomplished historian and novelist, draws upon his extensive knowledge of English history and Shakespearean influences to craft this compelling narrative. His fascination with the political machinations of the 15th century, combined with an understanding of the psychological burdens faced by leaders, manifests in his nuanced depiction of Henry VI's character and the sociopolitical landscape of the time. Blakman's scholarly background informs his ability to weave history with the intricacies of human emotion. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate well-researched historical fiction that resonates with contemporary themes of leadership and crisis. Blakman's insightful portrayal of interpersonal dynamics and moral dilemmas in a fractured society not only captivates but also invites reflection on the enduring nature of power and governance.

    “Summer” is one of only two novels Edith Wharton wrote that takes place in a rural setting (the other being her classic “Ethan Frome.”)  Given the subject matter, the book was considered scandalous in its day, but it is now considered a classic of early 19th century American literature.   
    The story follows the life and sexual awakening of Charity Royall, a young girl living in a small town who has dreams of moving out of her poverty-stricken community.  Courted by both the local rich businessman - her former guardian - and the dashing town ne’er-do-well, Charity starts up a love affair with the younger man.  But when her budding romance starts to take a turn…Charity is forced to grow up fast. 
    Edith Wharton - the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction - is one of the 20th centuries most beloved authors and we are proud to present “Summer” in its original and unabridged format.
