Synopsis

The Persian Literature, Comprising The Shah Nameh, The Rubaiyat, The Divan, and The Gulistan, is a luminous anthology that weaves together the rich tapestry of 14th-century Persian poetics. This collection showcases an array of literary styles, from the epic grandeur of legendary narratives to the introspective musings of lyrical poetry. Broadly, the anthology captures the spirit of Persian culture, philosophy, and timeless wisdom through its masterworks. While each piece stands on its artistic merit, the collective brings forward a diversity of thought and expression that underscores the beauty and complexity of Persian literature, resonating with both historical significance and universal human themes. Within these pages, the esteemed works of seminal poets such as Hafiz, Firdawsi, and Omar Khayyam harmonize in their exploration of existential themes and aesthetic elegance. The contributing authors illuminate aspects of Sufism and the socio-cultural milieu of medieval Persia. Through this collaboration, the anthology reflects a convergence of historical narratives and personal reflections, making it a valuable conduit to study Persian literary traditions and their enduring impact on world literature. For scholars and enthusiasts alike, this anthology presents a remarkable opportunity to immerse oneself in the vibrancy of Persian storytelling. Its compendium offers an educative glimpse into expansive thought paradigms and cultural dialogues. Readers will be rewarded with enriching perspectives that traverse the profound depths of human experience, simultaneously engaging with poetic splendor and timeless philosophic discourse in a single, expertly curated volume.

    On February 15, 2010, Joseph McStay, his wife Summer, and their two young sons were reported missing from their new home in San Diego County. Their truck sat in the driveway. Their dogs were outside without food. But investigators found no blood, signs of a struggle, or clues to their whereabouts. Did the family take an unannounced vacation? Were they running away from personal problems? Or were they victims of foul play? 
     
     
      
    Nearly four years later, a motorcyclist found the McStays' remains in and around two shallow graves, one hundred miles away in the Mojave Desert. Their skulls showed signs of blunt-force trauma, likely due to the sledgehammer buried with them. Authorities focused on Charles  Merritt, a close friend and subcontractor for Joseph's company. Despite a lack of physical evidence, scenarios that defied logic, and numerous unanswered questions, prosecutors convinced a jury of Merritt's guilt. After an emotional sentencing hearing, the judge imposed the death penalty. But did another possible suspect, who was ignored by investigators and ducked a subpoena to testify, get away with murder? 
     
     
     
    In this twisting, deeply researched true-crime mystery, New York Times bestselling investigative journalist Caitlin Rother hunts for answers to reveal the truth behind a heinous crime that became a nation's obsession.

    An incredible journey of traumatic near-death moments, day to day drudgery, amusing situations, and brushes with greatness in World War II. 
     
     
     
    Life for a World War II paratrooper was grave and perilous; John H. Canfield's experience was no different. However, this young man found himself in so many crazy—sometimes humorous—situations that he almost forgot about how dangerous it was. 
     
     
     
    Filled with pranksters and superiors full of bravado and an unfortunate brush with racial bigotry with a fellow African American soldier, Canfield shares his many stories from basic training and jump school. But his best stories are from the war. From having to translate a dinner for an inebriated superior using his scant French, to getting chewed out by none other than General George S. Patton, Canfield shares a wealth of experiences from his WWII tour of the European theater. 
     
     
     
    In Small Victories in a Great Big War, John H. Canfield shows that half the battle is surviving, and that he did. With bravery and flair, Canfield returned home to Connecticut with more than a few amusing anecdotes. 
     
     
     
    More than seventy-five years after the end of World War II, John H. Canfield's stories are now shared with the world.

    ‘The finest book ever written about England and the English’ Stuart Maconie 
    ‘J. B. Priestley is one of our literary icons of the 20th Century and it is time that we all became re-acquainted with his genius.’ Dame Judi Dench 
    Three years before George Orwell made his expedition to the far and frozen North in The Road to Wigan Pier, celebrated writer and broadcaster JB Priestley cast his net wider, in a book subtitled ‘a Rambling but Truthful Account of What One Man Saw and Heard and Felt and Thought During a Journey Through England During the Autumn of the Year 1933.’ Appearing first in 1934, it was a huge and immediate success. Today, it still stands as a timeless classic: warm-hearted, intensely patriotic and profound. 
    An account of his journey through England – from Southampton to the Black Country, to the North East and Newcastle, to Norwich and home – English Journey is funny and tender. But it is also a forensic reading of a changing England and a call to arms as passionate as anything in Orwell’s bleak masterpiece. Moreover, it both captured and catalysed the public mood of its time. In capturing and describing an English landscape and people hitherto unseen, writing scathingly about vested interests and underlining the dignity of working people, Priestley influenced the thinking and attitudes of an entire generation and helped formulate a public consensus for change that led to the birth of the welfare state. 
    Prophetic and as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, English Journey is an elegant and readable love letter to a country Priestley finds unfathomable. 
    Priestley's English Journey is a special exploration of Britain, a top choice for those who appreciate travelogues and social history. His essays are a testament to his deep affection for his homeland, marking this book as one of the best in non-fiction. 
    For fans of Rory Stewart (The Marches), Maggie O'Farrell (I Am, I Am, I Am), and Marion Turner (The Wife of Bath).
