Sinopsis

Madame de Staël's 'Corinne; or, Italy' is a captivating exploration of the contrasting cultures of France and Italy during the romantic era. Written in an epistolary style, the novel follows the journey of a young poetess, Corinne, as she navigates love, art, and society in the vibrant cities of Rome and Naples. Through vivid descriptions of landscapes and passionate encounters, de Staël beautifully captures the essence of Italy's artistic heritage and the spirit of the Romantic movement. The novel is not only a love story but also a commentary on the role of women in society and the complexities of cultural identity. De Staël's lyrical prose and intellectual depth make 'Corinne; or, Italy' a timeless classic in the literary canon of Romanticism. Madame de Staël, a prominent figure in French intellectual circles, was known for her progressive views on politics and literature. Her own experiences as a well-traveled writer and intellectual likely inspired her to write a novel that delves into the intersection of art, love, and cultural identity. Recommended for readers interested in Romantic literature, gender studies, and European cultural history, 'Corinne; or, Italy' offers a rich and rewarding reading experience.

    This sequel to Comanche Moon is “a Texas-size love story . . . with a tough yet tender hero” (Georgina Gentry, New York Times–bestselling author of Apache Tears).   After a Comanche war party kills her husband and infant son, and makes off with her young daughter, Annie Bryce has nothing left to live for. Held captive herself by a brutal warrior, merely surviving every day is the only act of defiance she can muster.   Haunted by guilt for not preventing the Comanche attack on the Bryce family, Texas Ranger Hap Walker is surprised when he stumbles across the captive Annie three years later. Hardly recognizing the beaten down woman at first, he eventually brings her back to the “civilized” world, where she’s met with scorn and gossip by the townsfolk suspicious of her survival. Free of her bonds, Annie finds a new reason to live with the realization her daughter is still missing but alive. Hap agrees to accompany her through treacherous Indian Territory, hopeful to be a part of the new life Annie struggles to build. In a time and place of savagery and splendor, a saga of passion and courage comes flaming to life.   “This gripping story about the healing power of love will pull at your heartstrings.” —Joan Johnston, New York Times–bestselling author of Surrender   “Mills writes fine, humane dialogue and makes good use of history.” —Publishers Weekly

But when she meets him, she hates him. He’s dismissive of her trivial lifestyle and unimpressed by her beauty.

Alone, penniless and cast out by the society she loves, Diana runs away from it all, including Hugo, and finds herself work as a teashop waitress, where she falls ill with pneumonia. Only now does she realise she’s in love with Barry Dunbar, only to learn that on his oriental travels, he has become a Buddhist monk. Has she discovered the love of her life just days too late?
