Sinopsis

Comic Tragedies is a fascinating glimpse into the youthful literary experiments of Louisa May Alcott and her sister, Anna Bronson Alcott Pratt. This collection encapsulates the vivid imagination and playful creativity of two young sisters as they navigate through the complexities of their childhood dreams and experiences. Encompassing an array of literary styles, from drama to satire, this anthology captures a breadth of human experience while deftly balancing humor and gravitas. The selection is exemplary of the innovative and unyielding spirit of the sisters, who manage to convey deep truths through the lens of youthful exuberance. The Alcott sisters, celebrated for their profound contributions to American literature, crafted these works during their formative years, bringing a fresh perspective to the themes of hardship, aspiration, and familial bonds. Emerging during a time of significant cultural and literary evolution in America, these pieces align with the transcendentalist movement, yet possess a distinct charm of their own. The sisters' backgrounds as visionary women of their era shine through in this collection, enriching the reader's understanding of 19th-century social dynamics, family roles, and literary innovation. A remarkable volume, Comic Tragedies serves as both an educational resource and a source of inspiration. Readers are invited to explore the dynamic interplay of styles and themes that the Alcott sisters engage with so brilliantly. The anthology presents a unique opportunity to witness the burgeoning talent and ingenuity of these storied authors. Whether appreciated for its historical context or the pure delight of its narratives, this collection is sure to engage and enlighten audiences, providing an in-depth dialogue across its varied contributions."}

    Paddy Mayne - Lt Col Blair...

    ‘Paddy’ Mayne was one of the most outstanding special forces leaders of the Second World War. Hamish Ross’s authoritative study follows Mayne from solicitor and a rugby international to troop commander in the Commandos and then the SAS, whose leader he later became and whose annals he graced, winning the DSO and three bars, the Croix de Guerre and the Légion d’Honneur. 
     
    Mayne’s achievements attracted attention, and after his early death legends emerged, based largely on anecdote and assertion. Hamish Ross’s closely researched biography challenges much of the received version, using contemporary sources, the official war diaries, the chronicle of 1 SAS, Mayne’s papers and diaries, and a number of extended interviews with key contemporaries. It has the support of the Mayne family and the SAS Regimental Association. 
     
    In Ross’s analysis Mayne is a dynamic, yet principled and thoughtful man, committed to the unit’s original concepts; not flawless, but whose leadership qualities and tactical brilliance in the field secured the reputation of the SAS.
