Sinopse

The "Ronicky Doone Trilogy" offers a thrilling exploration of western frontier adventures, encapsulating the ethos of early 20th-century American literature. This Western Classics Series expertly juxtaposes high-stakes action with introspective character studies, allowing each narrative to unfold in a richly painted landscape of untamed terrain and rugged morality. The trilogy embraces diverse literary styles, weaving together suspenseful tales that transcend the mere gunfights and outlaws, highlighting deeper themes of justice, redemption, and personal growth. Within these pages, readers will find a blend of gripping stories that not only entertain but also reflect on the complexities of human nature — particularly the struggle between personal honor and societal law. The anthology draws from the prolific works of Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust, whose contributions to the Western genre remain unparalleled. As a writer whose career was deeply embedded in the American literary tradition, Faust's narratives are characterized by their deep psychological insight and vivid characterizations. The compelling voices of his characters are influenced by the American frontier's historical and cultural milieu, reflecting broader themes of resilience and transformation amidst adversity. This trilogy brings together stories that, while individual in scope, collectively contribute to the genre's rich tapestry, offering a diverse depiction of the bygone era. Readers are invited to experience the "Ronicky Doone Trilogy," not merely as a series of Western tales but as a multifaceted exploration of human experience amid the raw splendor of the American West. This collection serves as a powerful testament to the literary craftsmanship of Max Brand and provides an invaluable opportunity to immerse oneself in the nuanced dialogue between tradition and innovation. It stands as a gateway to a world both expansive and detailed, providing an abundance of insights for those willing to explore its depths — making it essential for anyone interested in understanding the cultural and literary impact of the Western genre.

    When he woke up in jail in Fairfax County, Virginia, in 2015, Tim Murtaugh had no way of knowing he'd be a senior leader on the reelection campaign for the president of the United States less than four years later. 
     
     
     
    What began as a form of high school amusement quickly became an addiction, which over decades would lead Murtaugh to the edge of ruin. Able to beat the disease of alcoholism only under the threat of losing everything, and with the support of a loving wife and family, Murtaugh managed to recover, revive his career, and make it to the top of the political world. 
     
     
     
    Travel along on the 2020 Trump campaign as Murtaugh shares stories—never published before—from his two years as communications director, navigating a hostile media, the COVID-19 pandemic, highly anticipated debates, Election Day 2020, January 6, and life on the most-watched political campaign in world history. 
     
     
     
    Swing Hard in Case You Hit It is a redemption story unlike any other—from being on the verge of complete self-destruction to flying on Air Force One with President Donald J. Trump—that doesn't come with a happy Hollywood ending.

    In Ten Bridges I've Burnt, Brontez Purnell—the bard of the underloved and overlooked—turns his gaze inward. A storyteller with a musical eye for the absurdity of his own existence, he is peerless in his ability to find the levity within the stormiest of crises. Here, in his first collection of genre-defying verse, Purnell reflects on his peripatetic life, whose ups and downs have nothing on the turmoil within. "The most high-risk homosexual behavior I engage in," Purnell writes, "is simply existing." 
     
     
     
    The thirty-eight autobiographical pieces pulsing in Ten Bridges I've Burnt find Purnell at his no-holds-barred best. He remembers a vicious brawl he participated in at a poetry conference and reckons with packaging his trauma for TV writers' rooms; wrestles with the curses, and gifts, passed down from generations of family members; and chronicles, with breathless verve, a list of hell-raising misadventures and sexcapades. Through it all, he muses on everything from love and loneliness to capitalism and Blackness to jogging and the ethics of art, always with unpredictable clarity and movement. 
     
     
     
    With the same balance of wit and wisdom that made 100 Boyfriends a sensation, Purnell unleashes another collection of boundary-pushing writing with Ten Bridges I've Burnt, a book as original and thrilling as the author himself.
