Sinossi

Kirk Munroe's "Under the Great Bear" is a masterful blend of adventure and naturalism, set against the stunning backdrop of the Northern wilderness. The narrative weaves together the themes of exploration, survival, and the interplay between humanity and nature, illustrating the profound connection Indigenous peoples have with their environment. Munroe'Äôs lyrical prose captures the majesty of the great bear and the character's psychological landscapes, drawing readers into a world where the struggles against nature mirror internal conflicts. The book's literary context is rooted in the late 19th-century fascination with American wilderness and the burgeoning conservation movement, reflecting the era's conflicting sentiments towards nature and the encroachment of modernity. Kirk Munroe, an American novelist and conservationist, spent considerable time in Florida and the northern United States, experiences that deeply informed his environmental perspectives and storytelling. His background as a naturalist and his involvement in the early conservation efforts resonate throughout "Under the Great Bear," where he encapsulates not only the aesthetics of the natural world but also its fragility. Munroe'Äôs affinity for the wilderness and his desire to evoke a sense of responsibility toward it are palpable throughout the narrative. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersections of adventure, nature, and cultural identity. Its immersive prose and rich themes offer valuable insights into both the human condition and our relationship with the earth. Recommended for readers of all ages, "Under the Great Bear" is a timeless exploration of resilience that will leave a lasting impact.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The Big Apple is rightly lauded as the place that if you can make it there you make it anywhere.  It’s good advice for a writer.  Many of these literary talents became world-wide behemoths, serving up their experiences and characters to a wide-eyed audience forever in their thrall.  Genius has many names.

    In the swirl of Philadelphia at the end of Prohibition, Leyb meets Charles. They are at a former speakeasy called Cricket's, a bar that welcomes, as Charles says in his secondhand Yiddish, feygeles. Leyb is startled; fourteen years in amerike has taught him that his native tongue is not known beyond his people. And yet here is suave Charles, a Black man from the Seventh Ward, a fellow traveler of Red Emma's, speaking Jewish to a young man he will come to call Lion. 
     
     
     
    Lion is haunted by memories of life before, in Zatelsk, where everyone in his village, everyone except the ten non-Jews, a young poet named Gittl, and Leyb himself, was taken to the forest and killed. 
     
     
     
    And then, miraculously, Gittl is in Philadelphia, too, thanks to a poem she wrote and the intervention of a shadowy character known only as the Baroness of Philadelphia. And surrounding Gittl are malokhim, the spirits of her siblings. 
     
     
     
    Moriel Rothman-Zecher's Before All the World lays bare the impossibility of escaping trauma, the necessity of believing in a better way ahead, and the power that comes from our responsibility to the future. It asks the most essential question: What do you intend to do before all the world?

    The Tattooist of Auschwitz is a deeply moving and inspiring story set during one of the darkest periods of human history—the Holocaust. The audiobook follows Lale Sokolov, a young Jewish man who finds himself imprisoned in the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, where survival is a daily struggle against brutality and despair. However, Lale’s story is not just about survival; it is about the power of love, resilience, and hope when faced with unimaginable horrors.
     
    Lale is chosen to become the tattooist of Auschwitz, a role that, while providing some semblance of safety, forces him to confront the dehumanizing nature of the camp. As he tattoos identification numbers onto fellow prisoners, Lale’s path crosses with that of Gita Furman, a fellow prisoner who becomes his source of hope and strength. Their relationship, born in the most dire of circumstances, becomes a beacon of love and connection in a world where both seem impossible.
