Sinossi

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.

    Auschwitz, January 1945. Forced on a terrifying death march from the notorious concentration camp, midwife and former secret agent Maggie must find the strength to protect the tiny baby girl her dying friend left in her care. Only weeks old, little Leah is in terrible danger—from the Nazis, from the freezing weather, from starvation. So when a company of soldiers led by brave Captain Jamie Maclean rescues the marching women, Maggie’s relief knows no bounds. But it soon turns to astonishment when Jamie vows to help Maggie reunite Leah with her father—he has fallen in love with Maggie and will do everything in his power to assist her. Maggie can’t yet trust her own budding feelings. But she accepts Jamie’s help and slowly starts to dream of a life together—until Maggie gets the news every survivor dreads. The most fearsome Nazi of all, Dr. Mengele, the terror of Auschwitz, has escaped—and she may be the only person strong enough to track him down. Looking at baby Leah’s trusting eyes, Maggie’s heart is torn. But she has to find Mengele and bring him to justice. Can she succeed on the most terrifying mission of her life when so many others have failed? And if she does, will she find her way back home to the ones she loves, or will the heartbreak of everything she has suffered destroy any chance of happiness forever?

    Each of the stories in this collection is spun from a simple, if typically wry and bleak, idea. In "Gaspar Ruiz", a South American general who has fought in a war of independence tells his guests a long tale about a notorious strong man that explains the origin of his current domestic arrangements. "The Informer" leads the reader into the depths of a political conspiracy, dealing very slyly indeed with questions of truth and pretence. In "The Brute", we are asked whether we can believe there could be such a thing as a positively malevolent ship, while "An Anarchist" introduces us to an unfortunate man who has had a vision of society itself as malevolent and has not been able to rest in peace ever since. "The Duel", the most obviously likeable tale in this collection, recounts the history of an unfortunate feud between two officers of Napoleon's army that caused them to fight a series of duels over many years. "Il Conde" rounds out the collection, giving a new twist to the saying "See Naples and die".
