The Homesteader (Western Novel) - Enriched edition

Oscar Micheaux

Beschreibung

Oscar Micheaux's novel, 'The Homesteader,' is a significant contribution to Western literature, offering readers a unique perspective on the African-American experience in the early 20th century. The novel follows the life of an African-American homesteader who faces challenges and discrimination as he navigates the harsh realities of homesteading in the American West. Micheaux's literary style is characterized by vivid descriptions, engaging dialogue, and a keen insight into the social issues of his time. The novel is both a compelling work of fiction and a sociopolitical commentary on the struggles faced by African-Americans during this period. 'The Homesteader' stands as a testament to Micheaux's talent as a writer and his commitment to telling the stories of marginalized communities in America. Oscar Micheaux, a pioneering African-American filmmaker and author, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of racial injustice to write 'The Homesteader.' His work paved the way for a new generation of African-American artists and continues to be celebrated for its authenticity and bold storytelling. I highly recommend 'The Homesteader' to readers interested in exploring the rich tapestry of African-American literature and the complexities of race and identity in America's history.

The Social Hour - A Decklin...

Faith Wood

As candles flickered, she pulled out a small stool then sat, resting her palms gently on the surface of the smooth wood. Then, again reaching into her robe pocket, she pulled out a small, sepia-colored photograph, resting it against a plain, black urn. 
With candle flames mirrored in her eyes, Amelia lit the cigar with one of the candles, blowing its thick, acrid smoke at the photo—and, it was then she spoke, her words unintelligible. Chanting her desires, she gently picked up the photograph, raising it to her God. 
And, there she stayed until it was done . . . 
Once again, author Faith Wood transports her readers into a world of intrigue and the unexpected. When The Social Hour’s Decklin Kilgarry pulls up stakes to embark on a new life in Miami, he never considered changes to his heart. His soul. Even so, as his investigation transforms from something routine and familiar into an undercurrent of darkness and corruption, he digs in, stunned when confronted with a person from his past—one whom he barely knows. Forming an unanticipated allegiance, mysteries unlock one-by-one, revealing an insidious truth. One, when illuminated, reveals a malevolent, treasonous intent—and, murder.
