Sinopse

Maurice Baring's "C" presents a richly layered narrative steeped in the complexities of human relationships and societal expectations during the early 20th century. Written with Baring's characteristic wit and elegant prose, the novel conjures a vivid tableau of characters whose lives intertwine across various social strata, revealing the undercurrents of desire, ambition, and existential inquiry. The book's literary style blends realistic dialogue and introspective passages, creating a compelling dialogue between the inner lives of its characters and the societal norms that shape them, marking it as a distinctive work of the modernist literary tradition. Maurice Baring, an accomplished writer, poet, and playwright, was immersed in the intellectual and artistic milieu of his time, which profoundly influenced his writing. Drawing from his diverse experiences, including his travels and connections with notable contemporaries, Baring delved into themes of identity and belonging in "C." His background in literature and an extensive knowledge of European culture imbue the text with a nuanced understanding of the tensions between tradition and modernity. "C" is a must-read for those intrigued by the complexities of human nature and the poignant exploration of societal norms. Baring's insightful observations and masterful storytelling offer readers a profound reflection on the essence of human connection and the challenges faced in forging one's identity amidst external pressures.

    HOT BISCUITS. COLD GRAVES. 
     
     
      
    A hot meal, a hard drink, and maybe a friendly hand of poker—that's all Dewey "Mac" Mackenzie wants when he drifts into the small town of Harcourt City, Montana. What he gets is a fistful of trouble.  When he defends a saloon girl from the unwanted advances of some local toughs, he earns the wrath of the town’s powerful namesake, Oscar Harcourt. Harcourt rules this place with an iron fist—and a steely eyed gang of thugs. Now he has his eyes on a ranch belonging to the saloon girl and her brother. A ranch they won’t give up—without a fight. 
     
      
      
    To raise funds, the brother and sister arrange a cattle drive to Rattlesnake Creek, and they want Mac to join them. As an experienced cattle pusher and chuckwagon cook, he's sure to be an asset. But as a secret gunslinger with a price on his head, he might end up getting them all killed. 
     
     
      
    Now the cattle are ready to go. Mac is ready for anything. But with so many devils riding on their tails, Mac is ready to turn up the heat—and send them back to hell . . .

    Being acknowledged for what you do is always very welcome.   When it comes to Oscar’s, Emmy’s, Pulitzer’s and Nobel’s it’s also international news and for many, the pinnacle of their career. 
     
    The Nobel Prize is much lauded and very difficult to secure.  In this volume we list ten of its winners over the decades who were famed for their literature.  The prize is given with an emphasis on its contribution to literature and its influence in the world and for the individual, more usually, for the body of work created. 
     
    So, whilst none of the stories in this volume were winners in their own right, their authors most certainly were.  They perfectly illustrate both the nature and mastery of the writing and the power and the purpose set within its storied prose.

    2 - The Father by Bjornstjerne Bjornson 
    3 - The Phantom Rickshaw by Rudyard Kipling

    In a scheme to pay for his endless wars and lavish court, Henry Tudor seizes England's rich monasteries and convents. Thousands of illuminated manuscripts are stolen and destroyed. 
    Squire Henry Truelove of Cornwall, hero of this novel, has simpler ambitions: to win the hand of his reluctant ladylove, Morwenna. But life takes a bad turn for the squire when his family's estate faces ruinous taxation. Truelove and his friends form a band of "holy pirates" to bring down the corrupt taxman, and to rescue the precious lost books. 
    This tale of tumultuous Tudor times will especially please readers who enjoy little known histories and interesting language. The narrative is often lighthearted, with amusing repartee. The mission of the Holy Pirates, though, is vital and dangerous — to save the precious books and their own skins.
