Sinopsis

Louise Imogen Guiney's "Patrins" is a poignant exploration of memory, identity, and the interplay between personal and collective histories. This collection of lyrical poetry showcases Guiney's finely honed literary style, characterized by rich imagery and intricate rhythms that evoke a deep sense of place and time. Its themes resonate with the broader context of early 20th-century literature, reflecting a growing interest in the nuances of human experience and the significance of ancestral connections, drawing on both classical and contemporary influences to craft verses that linger in the mind. Guiney, an accomplished poet and essayist, was deeply influenced by her Irish heritage and commitment to the literary arts. Born in 1861, her extensive travels and experiences in England and the United States permeate her work, allowing her to weave a tapestry of cultural reflections into her poetry. Her nuanced understanding of the interplay between personal history and larger narratives makes "Patrins" not just a collection of poems, but a meditation on the legacies that shape our identities. I wholeheartedly recommend "Patrins" to readers seeking a profound engagement with the intricacies of memory and belonging. Guiney's unique voice and masterful command of language offer a transformative experience, inviting readers to reflect on their own connections to the past. This collection is a vital addition to the canon of early 20th-century poetry, one that continues to resonate with contemporary audiences.

These are not the overexposed murder mysteries you’ve heard a thousand times. These are the forgotten ones — haunting, mysterious, and real. 
    Each chapter captures the human side of horror, honoring the victims while revealing the psychological depth and suspense that true crime fans love. From Victorian-era killing sprees to modern cold cases being revisited with new DNA technology, every story is told with powerful detail that will keep you listening late into the night.

    Fleeing from the world's most powerful intelligence agency, John Meier is hunted by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in his attempts to expose the Deep State and corruption at the highest levels of the U.S. Government in this riveting true story. 
    Includes revealing information on the Assassination of U.S. Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) and Critical Comments by New York Times bestselling author Jim Hougan. 
    NARRATED BY ACTOR DENNIS BOUTSIKARIS (THE BOURNE LEGACY / BETTER CALL SAUL / SUGAR) WHO HAS WON 8 AUDIE AWARDS 
    Immerse yourself in the International Political Thriller that exposes the illegal activites of the CIA, the real reason for Watergate, the 20th Century's most notorious political scandal and the biggest political scandal in U.S. History, and the hidden death of Howard Hughes, the world's wealthiest individual, in this Biography of John Meier, the U.S. Senate Candidate who was the right-hand man to Howard Hughes. 
    THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE IN DEVELOPMENT ‘MEIERGATE’ IS ABOUT THE LIFE STORY OF JOHN MEIER 
    Meier had Top Secret security clearance with the U.S. Government and has been referred to in the media as the man who brought down U.S. President Richard Nixon in Watergate and was the first person to expose the CIA’s involvement with the Hughes Organization and the only person to call for a congressional hearing into the death of Howard Hughes. 
    The CIA's worldwide pursuit of Meier to destroy him, in order to prevent him from exposing their illicit actives, included framing him for a number of offences including murder, and attempting to assassinate him 
    In the book Meier sums up his politically motivated battle by saying “My story is one of a man devastated by a corrupt system. Our governments are increasingly disrespectful of basic human rights such that we can no longer legitimately call our nations democracies. I hope that this story will contribute to changing this course”.

    The story of life on a French olive farm continues with this moving memoir of hard work, hard luck, and waiting for the return of happiness. Carol Drinkwater and her husband, Michel, arrive at their villa in Provence in anticipation of another glorious summer. Unfortunately, they find the farm unkempt and suffering from lack of rainfall. When their gardener, Monsieur Quashia, finally shows up, he cheerfully explains the shed-building project he’s working on as a surprise for them—a surprise that will send their expenses skyrocketing. But there are bigger problems to come than wild boars tearing through fences and other everyday challenges of farming. After a terrifying accident in Monte Carlo and a hospital stay, Michel is barely functional, and Carol soon realizes she must fend for herself. Burdened with problems from a financial reversal to the threat of nearby wildfires, she will experience firsthand the uncertainties that have plagued farmers since the dawn of agriculture—and hold on to hope that in the end, nature will provide. “A storyteller of great economy and deftness.” —The Telegraph

    In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. When he fought as a member several Boer commandos, he made full use of these skills and the endurance he acquired during the war.  
    He was involved in major actions, such as the Battle of Spion Kop, and he interacted with prominent political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener.  
    Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with Smuts after the war, one built one reciprocal respect. 
    Commando is more than a historical document. With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity, transcending time. 
    As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.
