Synopsis

John Wilson's 'Recreations of Christopher North' is a collection of essays written under the pseudonym of the titular character, Christopher North. This work is a prime example of the Romantic literary style, known for its colorful descriptions, emotional depth, and exploration of nature and the human experience. Through the eyes of Christopher North, Wilson delves into themes of imagination, beauty, and the power of art, inviting readers to see the world through a different lens. The book's literary context can be situated within the Romantic era of literature, where authors sought to move away from the rationality of the Enlightenment and embrace more emotional and imaginative forms of expression. Wilson's writing style is characterized by its poetic language, vivid imagery, and philosophical musings, drawing readers into a world of introspection and wonder. John Wilson, a Scottish writer and professor, was known for his contributions to literature, philosophy, and education. His background in both academia and creative writing shaped the unique blend of intellect and creativity found in 'Recreations of Christopher North'. This book is recommended for readers interested in Romantic literature, nature writing, and philosophical reflections on art and beauty.

    The next instalment in Adam Lofthouse's Enemy of the Empire series. An action-packed thriller set outside the boundaries of Ancient Rome. 
    'Highly recommended!' - M J Porter 
    It takes years to build a legend. 
    It takes mere heartbeats to shatter it to dust. 
    150 AD. Alaric, once lord of the Ravensworn is no longer feared nor revered. It has been six long years since his great defeat. He now lives life in the shadows. All hopes of glory and eternal rest in the Heroes Hall are gone. Alaric is alone. An outlaw to his land. 
    When a band of horsemen appear on the horizon, eager to recruit the man they still believe to be a lord of war. And so Alaric is pulled back to a life he thought had forsaken him. For in the far north of Germania lies a tribe in desperate need of aid. 
    In the far reaches of the land, for a cause not his own, Alaric will fly the Raven banner once more. In doing so, he will show both man and Gods that his story is not yet over.

    Kidnapped at Sea - The Civil War...

    THE TRUE STORY OF DAVID HENRY WHITE, A FREE BLACK TEENAGE SAILOR ENSLAVED ON THE HIGH SEAS DURING THE CIVIL WAR, WHOSE LIFE STORY WAS FALSELY AND INTENTIONALLY APPROPRIATED TO ADVANCE THE LOST CAUSE TROPE OF A CONTENTED SLAVE, HAPPY AND SAFE IN SERVILITY. 
     
    David Henry White, a free Black teenage sailor from Lewes, Delaware, was kidnapped by Captain Raphael Semmes of the Confederate raider Alabama on October 9, 1862, from the Philadelphia-based packet ship Tonawanda. White remained captive on the Alabama for over 600 days, until he drowned during the Battle of Cherbourg on June 19, 1864. 
     
    In a best-selling postwar memoir, Semmes falsely described White as a contented slave who remained loyal to the Confederacy. In Kidnapped at Sea, archaeologist Andrew Sillen uses a forensic approach to describe White’s enslavement and demise and illustrates how White’s actual life belies the Lost Cause narrative his captors sought to construct. 
     
    Kidnapped at Sea is the first book to focus on White’s actual life, rather than relying on Semmes and other secondary sources. Until now, Semmes’s appropriation of White’s life has escaped scrutiny, thereby demonstrating the challenges faced by disempowered, illiterate people—and how well-crafted, racist fabrications have become part of Civil War memory. 
     
    “In this fast-paced narrative, Andrew Sillen uncovers the astounding story of David Henry White, a free Black teenager kidnapped from a US ship and forced to accompany the Confederate raider Alabama. Through a haunting account, Sillen restores White’s humanity and, in doing so, provides a timely examination of the necessity for addressing historical crimes.”—Caroline E. Janney, author of Ends of War: The Unfinished Fight of Lee’s Army after Appomattox

    Anarchism is often misunderstood and misrepresented, seen by many as synonymous with chaos and disorder. However, anarchism is a diverse and complex political philosophy that seeks to create a society free from oppressive hierarchies, such as the state, capitalism, and institutionalized authority. At its core, anarchism advocates for the dismantling of centralized power structures and the establishment of self-governed, voluntary communities based on mutual aid, solidarity, and direct action. Anarchists believe that individuals should have the freedom to organize their lives and work collectively without the interference of coercive institutions. 
    The history of anarchism traces back to the early 19th century, with influential thinkers such as Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Mikhail Bakunin, and Peter Kropotkin shaping its development. Proudhon is often credited with coining the term “anarchy,” which he defined as “order without power.” Bakunin, one of the most prominent anarchist figures, argued that the state inherently oppresses the individual and stifles freedom, calling for a revolutionary transformation that would replace governmental authority with voluntary associations. Kropotkin, another major figure, emphasized the importance of mutual aid and cooperation, asserting that human beings are naturally inclined to work together for the common good, rather than being solely driven by competition and self-interest.
