Synopsis

In "Station Life in New Zealand," Lady Barker offers a vivid and immersive account of life on a sheep station in the heart of 19th-century New Zealand. Through her keen observations and exquisite prose, she encapsulates the trials and tribulations of colonial life, weaving a rich tapestry that highlights both the beauty and harshness of the landscape. Her narrative is characterized by an engaging blend of personal anecdotes and social commentary, set against a backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Lady Barker's literary style combines elements of travel writing and memoir, providing readers with a unique glimpse into the domestic and pastoral experiences of her time, whilst situating her work amidst the broader context of colonial literature in the Victorian era. Lady Barker, born in England, was not just an observer but an active participant in the challenges and joys of frontier life. Her own journey to New Zealand, propelled by personal circumstances and adventurous spirit, shaped her perspective as she embraced a world filled with both promise and adversity. Her ability to capture the nuances of daily life in an unfamiliar land reflects her keen sensitivity to cultural and environmental themes, drawing on her diverse experiences as a wife and mother in the colonial setting. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical narratives, colonial studies, and travel literature. Lady Barker's eloquent portrayals and astute observations invite readers to reflect on the complexities of life in a burgeoning society, making "Station Life in New Zealand" a compelling addition to any literary collection.

    This program is read by the author.In his forceful follow-up to Moneyland, Oliver Bullough unravels the dark secret of how Britain placed itself at the center of the global offshore economy and at the service of the worst people in the world.The Suez Crisis of 1956 was the nadir of Britain's twentieth century, the moment when the once-superpower was bullied into retreat. "Great Britain has lost an empire and not yet found a role," said Dean Acherson, a former US secretary of state. Acheson's line has entered into the canon of great quotations: but it was wrong. Britain had already found a role. The leaders of the world just hadn't noticed it yet.Butler to the World reveals how Britain came to assume its role as the center of the offshore economy. Written polemically, but studded with witty references to the butlers of popular fiction, it demonstrates how so many elements of modern Britain have been put at the service of the world's oligarchs.The Biden administration is putting corruption at the heart of its foreign policy, and that means it needs to confront Britain's role as the foremost enabler of financial crime and ill behavior. This audiobook lays bare how London has deliberately undercut U.S. regulations for decades, and calls into question the extent to which Britain can be considered a reliable ally.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press
