Synopsis

Knut Hamsun's "KNUT HAMSUN Premium Collection" compiles some of the most pivotal works from this Nobel laureate, showcasing his unique literary style characterized by psychological depth and a rich, symbolic narrative. Hamsun's writing profoundly reflects the existential crises of early 20th-century Europe, combining a stream-of-consciousness technique with vivid imagery and a deep sense of place. The collection encapsulates his exploration of themes like isolation, nature, and the complexity of human emotions, immersing the reader in the inner lives of his characters. Hamsun often drew upon his own rural Norwegian upbringing, which profoundly influenced his portrayal of the natural world and the struggles of mankind within it. Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) was a pioneering figure in modernist literature, renowned for his avant-garde approach and explorations of psychological states. Growing up in a poor farming community, Hamsun faced numerous hardships that shaped his worldview and literary voice. His experiences traveling through Europe and his interest in philosophy heavily influenced his work, allowing him to address the profound disconnections of modern life with a penetrating gaze and lyrical prose. This collection is highly recommended for anyone interested in the evolution of modern literature, as it offers invaluable insights into the human psyche and societal tensions of the time. Hamsun's rich narratives invite readers to engage deeply with the text and explore the intricate interplay of individual desire and the broader world.

Yankees Typewriters Scandals and...

Bill Madden, Buck Showalter

A freewheeling memoir of baseball, journalism, and New York spanning over 50 years of America's pastime 
  
Before he'd covered dozens of World Series; before he'd written about countless hirings, firings, superstars, and scandals, Bill Madden was a cub reporter on one of his first assignments at Yankee Stadium—and manager Ralph Houk had just gone out of his way to spit tobacco juice all over Madden's shoes. “That’s Ralph’s way with rookie writers he doesn’t recognize,” came the explanation. “He doesn’t mean anything by it.”  
  
So began a Hall of Fame scribe's career, as detailed in this clear-eyed memoir. With verve and candor, Madden reflects on five decades of triumphs, misadventures, and unforgettable characters. 
  
From Jackie Robinson to Aaron Judge; from newsrooms filled with hundreds of teletype machines droning like an army of cicadas to the sleek yet ruthless digital age, keen baseball fans will devour these tales of America's pastime against the backdrop of a rapidly changing media and cultural landscape.

Chaos in Color - A Memoir of...

PhD R. Layla Salek

From a young age, Layla Salek has experienced some people as colors—her mother brown, her father green, her husband rainbow. As she notes, sometimes, when words fail, colors speak.

Chaos in Color is the captivating story of Layla’s journey from childhood to adulthood with a mother who suffered from untreated bipolar disorder. Each chapter paints a vivid, heartbreaking picture of the abuse, neglect, and trauma that she experienced as she grew up at the mercy of her mother’s bipolar swings, an incompetent mental health system, and the strangers with whom she was often left. But dissipating those times of darkness were moments of love, joy, and happiness that she felt while being cared for by others in her life. These moments inspired her to start her own family, complete a doctorate in psychology, and work with children with mental illness and severe behavior disorders.

Layla’s story traces how personal and familial trauma is carried into adulthood and how it can be released through forgiveness. This honest, provocative memoir offers a relatable account for others who have experienced similar trauma, as well as hope for healing and a future full of light.

Paper Paradise - Do what you...

Glenn Wheatley

Paper Paradise: Do what you want to do is a roller coaster ride through the sex, drugs and rock and roll of the ’60s and ’70s to the high-flying business world of the ’80s and into the ’90s and beyond—with someone who lives it all right up to today.  
It is a book about ambition, hunger, desperation, success and the fruits thereof. Oh yes, it is also about failure and fighting back.  
Charting the extraordinary life and times of Glenn Wheatley, from working class boy to rock star of the 1960s and 1970s as a member of one of Australia’s most successful early bands, the Masters Apprentices, now immortalised in the ARIA Hall of Fame. In their heyday, the Masters drew bigger crowds than the Beatles in Australia.  
In the 1980s he soared from rock star to star manager of the Little River Band and Whispering Jack, John Farnham. He also pioneered the FM Radio industry with the first FM radio station to go to air in Australia, EON FM in Melbourne. He then went on to build the foundation of what is now the Triple M radio network.  
It is a narrative littered with casualties and is an actual account of a self-protective society that has its own Kings and Queens, its own iconography, its own language.  
After a meteoric rise in the fast lane, and an equally spectacular fall, he is back on top and determined to stay there. Glenn is the ultimate rock and roll survivor.
