Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

Langford of the Three Bars is a compelling collection that navigates the rich tapestry of frontier justice and moral fortitude in the American West. Through a seamless blend of narrative styles, the anthology embarks on a journey across timeless landscapes where law and personal integrity are systematically interrogated. Without attributing the brilliance of these narratives to a single voice, the collection evokes a vivid tableau of thematic explorations, each thoughtfully framing the pursuit of righteousness. The editors craft a robust narrative context that respects the historical sensitivity of the Western genre while also reexamining traditional mythologies with fresh insight. Kate Boyles Bingham and Virgil D. Boyles, the architects behind this anthology, draw upon their erudition and confluence of perspectives to compile a volume that speaks to both history and literature aficionados. Their backgrounds are steeped in the cultural and historical narratives of early America, and their editorial acumen brings forth a curated dialogue between the gritty perseverance of yesteryears and the present discourse on justice. The anthology echoes the reverberations of past cultural movements, resonating with the reader through diverse, yet harmonized, storytelling. Langford of the Three Bars is an essential addition to any reader intrigued by the multifaceted narrative of the American frontier. It offers an edifying exploration of historical themes through a medley of literary voices, presenting a layered understanding of law, courage, and moral resilience. This collection transcends mere storytelling to engage its audience in an intricate dialogue, fostering a deeper appreciation for the complex interplay between individual narratives and the collective history they embody.

CS Lewis For Beginners

Louis Markos

C.S. Lewis For Beginners is a thorough examination of C. S. Lewis, the greatest Christian apologist of the twentieth century, throughout his career as an author and as a professor at Oxford University. A Christian apologist defends Christianity as a consistent and coherent worldview that squares with human reason, history, and desire. It offers answers to every facet of our lives on earth as well as answers to our questions about what happens after we die. What makes C.S. Lewis unique as an apologist is the way he balanced so perfectly reason and imagination, logic and intuition, and head and heart. In addition to writing such non-fiction apologetics books as Mere Christianity, The Problem of Pain, and Miracles, he wrote eleven novels: the seven Chronicles of Narnia, a trilogy of science-fiction adventures, and a haunting retelling of an old myth set in the ancient world. All eleven tell wonderful, captivating stories that stand on their own as fiction but that also support and bring to life the kinds of apologetical arguments he makes in his non-fiction. He also wrote two utterly unique works of fiction, The Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce, that offer a fresh, highly original take on sin and temptation, angels and devils, and heaven and hell. And that’s not all. Lewis the apologist and novelist had a day job. He was a celebrated English professor at Oxford, and then Cambridge, University who wrote works of literary criticism that are still famous today. C.S. Lewis For Beginners takes the reader through the wardrobe of his complete catalog of writing.

The Heist - The Birkenhead...

Scott Bainbridge

One Friday evening in October 1984, a security truck pulled into the car park of the Foodtown supermarket in the Auckland suburb of Birkenhead. It had already made a few stops at other supermarkets that day, so there was plenty of cash on board. A few minutes later, as the security guards emerged from the supermarket carrying the day's takings, a white van skidded to a halt, narrowly missing one of them. Three armed men piled out of the van, and within three minutes, they had stolen $294,524 (the equivalent of over $1.1 million today). The investigation that followed the heist soon fanned out from the North Shore suburbs to greater Auckland, into Northland and then across the Tasman to Sydney. Along the way, it shined a light on the activities of several well-known figures in New Zealand's criminal underworld, who between them had links to at least three unsolved murders. In The Heist, Scott Bainbridge recounts a classic true-crime tale drawn together from his extensive research and interviews with several of the key players – including both cops and robbers!
