Sinossi

In her captivating novel, "White Turrets," Mrs. Molesworth weaves a richly textured narrative set against a backdrop of shifting social dynamics and the complexities of familial relationships. The book eloquently explores themes of love, loyalty, and the haunting residue of the past, all wrapped in a beautifully descriptive prose style that brings the characters and their struggles to life. Molesworth's poignant observations not only reflect the Victorian societal norms but also challenge them, offering a profound commentary on the roles women played in a rapidly changing world. Mrs. Molesworth, a prominent author of children's and women's literature in the late 19th century, was herself a reflection of her time—deeply engaged in the emerging questions surrounding gender and identity. Her unique background, including her experiences in various domestic settings, no doubt informed her portrayal of the emotional landscape and conflict within the narratives she crafted. With a keen eye for both psychological depth and social commentary, Molesworth utilized her literary prowess to speak to the heart of the issues facing women and families in her era. "White Turrets" is not merely a story; it is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition during a transformative period in history. I highly recommend this novel to readers interested in Victorian literature, feminist themes, and the intricate dynamics of family life, as it offers a timeless reflection on personal growth and the power of choice within the confines of societal expectations.

    "Basil the Child Dreams" shows twenty-two images of the possible dispensation. The author would not advise to treat Basil the Child and his considerations condescendingly. On the other hand, the author would suggest the readers taking Basil the Child very seriously, and, most probably, choosing the time, finding a suitable picturesque location, and considering the possible dispensation on their own. Illustrations by Shasi Martynova. Translated by Max Nemtsov.

    Before he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897. Taking 16 beloved nursery rhymes, he explains their meaning and fascinating history. What is the true story of Little Boy Blue? Why was Mary contrary? 
    As he says in the introduction, "Many of these nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be I have thought the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines. For that reason I have written this book." L. Frank BaumBefore he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897.

    Renowned mythologist Bernard Evslin’s retelling of the perilous adventure of Jason and the Argonauts  “This story begins very soon after the world began, when great raw things called monsters roamed the unfinished places eating whatever they could catch.” So says Ekion, son of the god Hermes, as he relates the tale of the treacherous crusade of Jason and the Argonauts. When Jason, a prince with the gift of healing, is assigned a quest to obtain the golden fleece of the winged ram—which, once obtained, will set Jason upon his rightful throne as king—a fantastic adventure begins. In the vein of classic storytelling, mythologist Bernard Evslin offers his own masterful recasting of the famous tale of Jason, Medea, and the Argonauts, and follows the hero’s journey to its startling and tragic conclusion.
