Beschreibung

In "Country Lodgings," Mary Russell Mitford seamlessly blends her vivid observations of rural life with rich character studies, forming a tapestry of English provincial society in the early 19th century. Written in an engaging epistolary style, the book captures not only the charming quirks of the English countryside but also the nuanced interactions among its inhabitants. Mitford's keen eye for detail and her ability to evoke the pastoral beauty and simplicity of rural existence reflect a burgeoning Romantic sensibility that sought solace and inspiration in nature, presenting a counterpoint to the urban industrialization of her era. Mitford, renowned for her dramatic writings and keen social observations, was deeply rooted in the English countryside of Hampshire, which profoundly influenced her literary output. Her personal experiences as a woman navigating the complexities of society invisibly shaped her portrayal of the rural landscape and its residents, allowing her to explore themes of class, gender, and human connection. "Country Lodgings" serves as a manifestation of her longing for a simpler, more authentic existence, one filled with the hardship and joys of rural life. Readers seeking a blend of rich narrative, enlightening social commentary, and a heartfelt portrayal of the countryside will find "Country Lodgings" to be an exquisite addition to their literary collection. Mitford's eloquent prose and profound insights into the human experience provide contemporary audiences with a timeless reflection on the beauty and struggles inherent in country life.

    A magnet for trouble. A dubious destiny. His quest for true love could succeed if only his moral compass didn’t point South. 
    The American West, 1850. Former French dandy Didier Rain’s weakness for saloon girls, money, and whiskey keeps derailing his plan to join the pantheon of epic poets. So, when he’s approached by holy men claiming he’s part of a prophecy, he agrees to transport an infant bride for a soul-selling sum of $30,000. But to fulfill his foretold role, he’ll have to succeed at two tasks at which he's always failed: keeping the cork in the bottle and his pants buttoned. 
    Unable to resist lustful impulses and outrageously depraved detours, Rain wreaks havoc through his augured misfortunes. Riding the treacherous pioneer landscape, his non-existent survival instincts send him down a trail littered with his own sin and probable doom. 
    Will Rain’s questionable care deliver the girl to her groom unsullied by his unsavory pursuits? 
    Delivering Virtue, A Dark Comedy Adventure of the West is the first book in the sublimely twisted historical magical realism series, The Epic of Didier Rain. If you like absurdist fiction, witty wordplay, and sordid humor, then you’ll love Brian Kindall’s quirky foray into a reimagined American Frontier.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume the Jazz Age blossoms with an exuberance of spirit and panache.  Life is for now, the future seems so very far away.  Our American authors bring the decade to life with stories that perhaps could only come to pass in this decade of the United States.
