Summary

In 'The Rangeland Avenger', Max Brand weaves a gripping tale of revenge and justice set against the expansive backdrop of the American West. The novel is marked by Brand's evocative prose and intricate character development, immersing readers in a world where morality is as rugged as the landscape itself. The narrative structure skillfully combines elements of adventure and psychological depth, illuminating themes of honor, loyalty, and the quest for redemption that were prominent in early 20th-century Western literature. Through dynamic dialogue and vivid descriptions, Brand captures the essence of frontier life, echoing the traditions of contemporaneous Western authors while establishing his distinctive voice. Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust, was a prolific writer whose experiences in the American West deeply informed his work. Born in 1892, he became an influential figure in Western fiction, penning hundreds of stories and novels that reflected the struggles and realities of life on the range. Brand's expertise as a storyteller was rooted in his own adventurous life, which included stints as a cowboy and a soldier, lending authenticity to his portrayals of the rugged characters he immortalized on the page. Readers seeking to immerse themselves in a story that captures the spirit of the Wild West while exploring profound human emotions will find 'The Rangeland Avenger' a compelling read. With its rich narrative and complex themes, the novel not only entertains but also invites reflection on issues of justice and the human condition, making it a noteworthy addition to the canon of American literature.

    VOYAGE TO THE LAST FRONTIER...
    The first book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
    They were transported from 1780s' England, packed like cattle in cargo compartments: scammers and prostitutes, thieves and murderers — doomed to build His Majesty's new colony in Captain Cook's anchorage in Botany Bay.
    It was a cruel fate even for the toughest of individuals but especially for 15-year-old Jenny Taggart, who was sentenced to lifelong exile for a crime she did not commit. Will there be a future for her in this unknown country, or will she succumb to a rough and brutal life?
    
    Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

    A novel of Felice Bauer, Franz Kafka's first fiancée, and the story behind Letters to Felice 
     
     
     
    Franz Kafka scholars know Felice Bauer, his onetime fiancée, through his Letters to Felice, as little more than a woman with a raucous laugh and a taste for bourgeois comforts. Life After Kafka is her story. The novel begins in 1935 as Felice flees with her children from Hitler's Berlin, following her family and members of Kafka's entourage—including Grete Bloch, Max Brod, and Salman Schocken—as they try to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. Years later, a man claiming to be Kafka's son approaches Felice's son in Manhattan and the drama surrounding Kafka's letters to Felice begins. 
     
     
     
    While taking the measure of literary fame's long shadow, Life After Kafka depicts the magic and poison of memories, and what we cling to when all else is lost. Most of all, it illuminates the bravery required to move forward through the shattered remains of one world to rebuild life in a new one.
