  When Charlene Wittstock married Prince Albert of Monaco in a star-studded wedding watched by millions across the world in 2011, rumours of her getting cold feet and her unhappiness about his love children swirled around the couple.
  Ever since then, the statuesque Olympic swimmer has been in the eye of the paparazzi and the centre of endless tabloid speculation and malicious rumour-mongering. Is the bubbly, down-to-earth South African lonely in glamorous Monaco? Is it a marriage of convenience? What is the status of her health? These are just some of the questions that roil so publicly around her.
  Journalist Arlene Prinsloo sifts fact from fiction in this revealing unauthorised biography of Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene. Prinsloo traces her life from humble beginnings in Zimbabwe, Johannesburg and Durban to the Olympic Games, her jet-set romance with the bachelor prince, a fairy-tale wedding and becoming a mother to twins. At its heart, it's the story of a woman in search of happiness for herself and her family – and also of the beginning of Charlene defining her own space amid the royal protocol.

  This is the story of one family’s resilience and ultimate triumph despite seemingly insurmountable odds. 
  My Broken Soldier takes the reader on a journey of life beyond the front line for those who serve and return home forever broken, and for the loved ones who walk the journey with them. 
  The book has been written for the unseen, the unacknowledged, the quiet sufferers of PTSD, anxiety, adjustment disorder, depression, substance abuse, blast trauma, bullet wounds, and all the other wounds no one sees. It has also been written for the families of soldiers who are either directly affected by their time spent at war or who never returned. Narrated by the author, Karen Page and interspersed with the perspective and reflections of her husband, soldier and former elite SAS candidate, Corporal Matthew John Page, My Broken Soldier transcends financial ruin, family politics, two wars and unspeakable loss. 
  Written with raw emotion and warts and all honesty, it depicts the struggle between a husband and wife fighting an invisible, ever-present ‘demon’ and a system that was meant to have their backs. Ultimately, this story is a vehicle to generate awareness about the injustices of an ironclad institution and to give a voice to those who love the broken or the ones who are no longer here to tell their stories.

  Henry David Thoreau - A Very...

  Henry David Thoreau was a leading figure in the American Transcendentalist movement and the era of US literary emergence, an intellectual with worldwide influence as essayist, social thinker, naturalist-environmentalist, and sage. Thoreau's Walden, an autobiographical narrative of his two-year sojourn in a self-built lakeside cabin, is one of the most widely studied works of American literature. It has generated scores of literary imitations and experiments in back-to-basics living. Thoreau's essay, "Civil Disobedience," is a classic of American political activism and a model for nonviolent reform movements. Thoreau also stands as an icon of modern American environmentalism, the father of American nature writing, a forerunner of modern ecology, and a harbinger of freelance spirituality. 
   
   
   
  Thoreau is also a controversial figure. He was an advocate for individual self-sufficiency who never broke away from home, a self-professed mystic now also acclaimed as a pioneer natural and applied scientist, and a seminal theorist of nonviolent protest who defended the most notorious guerrilla fighter of his day. All told, he remains a rather enigmatic figure both despite and because we know so much about him. Lawrence Buell gives due consideration to all these aspects of Thoreau's art and thought, framing key issues and complexities in historical and literary context.
