Beschreibung

In 'Sun Hunting,' Kenneth Lewis Roberts employs a vivid and evocative prose style to explore the intricate relationship between humanity and the natural world, particularly in the context of hunting and survival. The narrative unfolds in a richly textured setting, showcasing Roberts' deep appreciation for nature while delving into the moral complexities of hunting. Through the lens of his characters' experiences, the book raises profound questions about ethics, tradition, and the balance between man and the environment, all woven seamlessly into the fabric of early 20th-century American literature, marked by its regionalism and realism. Kenneth Lewis Roberts, a native of Maine, was heavily influenced by his surroundings and the traditions of rural life, which shaped his literary voice. His experiences as a newspaper editor and political commentator allowed him to develop a keen understanding of societal issues. Coupling this with his passion for the outdoors, Roberts brought a unique perspective to 'Sun Hunting,' making it a reflection of his own life and the conflicts that defined the American identity during an era of rapid change. Readers seeking a profound exploration of nature and morality will find 'Sun Hunting' to be a compelling read. Roberts' masterful narrative not only captivates but also provokes thoughtful reflection on our place within the ecosystem, making it an essential addition to the canon of American literature.

Marie Corelli

’Jane ’came out’ at fifty-seven and everybody knew it.’So begins this heartwarming tale of a courteous country maid who comes into a vast inheritance, and uses it to travel into high society in London. along the way, she encounters the snobs of the society set, royalty entirely without regality, and a whole host of characters that make clear just how much better off she is away from the glitz and glamour.Written in 1897, this tale from Marie Corelli is a short and adorably sweet take of 'a sweet-faced, placid-faced lady of the purely old-fashioned type,' inherits a fortune at 57 and discovers that the fashionable and high society world is composed of 'the Great of Purse and not the Great of Heart'.Corelli was the the first bestselling novelist in a modern sense, dominating the scene from her debut in 1867 and largely forgotten because she wrote her social commentary, wit and style into romances that were beloved of Queen Victoria and Churchill, among many others.

A Slash of Emerald - A Dr Julia...

Patrice McDonough

London, 1867: Among the genteel young ladies of London society, painting is a perfectly acceptable pastime—but a woman who dares to pursue art as a profession is another prospect, indeed. Dr. Julia Lewis, familiar with the disrespect afforded women in untraditional careers, is hardly surprised when Scotland Yard shows little interest in complaints made by her friend, Mary Allingham, about a break-in at her art studio. Mary is just one of many "lady painters" being targeted by vandals. 
 
 
 
Painters' sitters are vanishing, too—women viewed by some as dispensable outcasts. Inspector Richard Tennant, however, takes the attacks seriously, suspecting they're linked to the poison-pen letters received by other members of the Allingham family. For Julia, the issue is complicated by Tennant's previous relationship with Mary's sister-in-law, Louisa, and by her own surprising reaction to that entanglement. 
 
 
 
But when someone close to them commits suicide and a woman turns up dead, the case can no longer be so easily ignored by "respectable" society. Layer after layer, Julia and Tennant scrape away the facts of the case like paint from a canvas. What emerges is a somber picture of vice, depravity, and deception stretching from London's East End to the Far East—with a killer at its center, determined to get away with one last, grisly murder . . .

The Pendle Witches England 1600's
Book 1 of 7 The Tale of Elizabeth Southerns/Old Demdike
This is the first book in the series and is fictionally based on the true names and part facts of seven of the accused witches involved being sentenced to death mostly, although innocent, and is as follows:
Elizabeth Southerns, known as Old Demdike, was a healer living in a crooked cottage at the foot of Pendle Hill. Skilled in herbal remedies, she was both respected and feared by villagers. One evening, a mysterious boy with coal-black eyes offered her power to protect her family in exchange for her loyalty. Desperate, Demdike accepted a black stone, gaining heightened abilities but at a cost. Her granddaughter Alizon’s curse on a peddler sparked accusations of witchcraft. Demdike and her family were arrested. In her damp cell, weakened and betrayed, she refused the boy’s offer to renounce her family for freedom. Before her death, she cursed her accusers, her spirit lingering on Pendle Hill. Her story became a haunting reminder of injustice, her whispers carried by the wind, ensuring her legacy endured.
This is the first in a series of seven audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price.
I have worked very hard to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 minutes plus, called Haunting Elegy, uses flute and harp to set the scene of witches living life as they could. The closing music ends in a sad way, called Melancholy same instrumental at nearly 3 minutes as the fate that befalls these innocent people awaits them.!
The story itself runs to about 15 minutes, and and is narrated in my own voice.
The Book itself is divided into parts, Opening, The Gift and Curse, The Pact, The Downfall, The Final Curse and Epilogue.
