Sinopsis

In "David Crockett: His Life and Adventures," John S. C. Abbott meticulously chronicles the life of one of America's most iconic frontiersmen and folk heroes, Davy Crockett. Through a combination of vivid storytelling and historical analysis, Abbott captures the essence of Crockett's adventures, from his humble beginnings in Tennessee to his legendary role at the Alamo. Written in an accessible yet engaging literary style typical of 19th-century biographical works, Abbott's narrative invites readers into the rich tapestry of American history, exploring themes of bravery, perseverance, and the mythologization of the frontier spirit. John S. C. Abbott, a prominent historian and educator in the 19th century, had a passion for narrating the tales of American figures who embodied the quintessential values of the era: courage, independence, and a deep connection to nature. His background in teaching and writing for young audiences influenced the approachable tone of this biography, aiming to inspire both admiration and critical reflection on the complexities of national identity. For those interested in American history, folk legends, or the cultural significance of the frontier, Abbott's biography of David Crockett is a compelling read. It not only enlightens the reader about Crockett's life but also serves as a mirror reflecting the ever-evolving narrative of American mythology, making it an invaluable addition to any historical library.

    Radio Treason - The Trials of...

    The gripping courtroom drama of a Brooklyn-born Englishman who became the voice of Nazi Germany, by "one of the most brilliant and erudite journalists of the century" (The New York Times). 
     
     
     
    In 1945, the New Yorker commissioned star reporter Rebecca West to cover the London trial of William Joyce, who stood accused by the British government of aiding the Third Reich. Joyce was alleged to have hosted a radio program, Germany Calling, devoted to Nazi propaganda and calls for a British surrender. 
     
     
     
    The legal case against Joyce (known as "Lord Haw-Haw" for his supposedly posh accent) proved to be tenuous and full of uncertainties. Yet each new piece of evidence added to West's timeless portrait of a social reject who turned to the far right, who rose through the ranks without ever being liked, and who sought validation through a set of shared hatreds—of elites, of communists, and especially of Jews. 
     
     
     
    As a work of psychological suspense, Rebecca West's Radio Treason anticipates Truman Capote, Janet Malcolm, and Joan Didion at their best. As a study in political extremism, as Katie Roiphe writes in her foreword, "It is as if Lord Haw-Haw has been transported from her time into ours."

    A gripping memoir that shows what freedom looks like when we choose to examine the uncomfortable past 
     
     
     
    Jane is to the world a charismatic personality—opinionated, an inner-city teacher and public activist, a lover of Italy, proud and successful—who thrives on a carefully crafted life narrative. Susannah, her beautiful only daughter and her intended protégé, senses the stricter, darker truth, and fights to resist the control imposed on her by her mother's narcissistic tale, especially as Susannah becomes a mother herself. 
     
     
     
    But then Jane at seventy-five, healthy and fit, chooses suicide, leaving her daughter with grief and the unwelcome gift of forty-five years of hidden diaries. Daring to "read" Jane after her death is like unlatching Pandora's Box. For a year, Susannah twists and turns to the truths she uncovers, comparing what she remembers with what her mother put down in words. As Susannah Kennedy relives her life through her mother's eyes, she grapples with the ties between mothers and daughters and the choices parents make.
