Sinopsis

In "The Lone Black Pioneer: Oscar Micheaux Boxed Set," the iconic African American filmmaker and author Oscar Micheaux crafts a compelling narrative that captures the complexity of African American life in the early 20th century. This boxed set features an anthology of his most significant works, blending elements of realism and romanticism through a vivid portrayal of pioneering spirit and cultural resilience. Micheaux's literary style is marked by sharp dialogue and rich character development, drawing from his own experiences as a homesteader to create stories that reflect the struggles and triumphs of Black pioneers seeking to forge their place within an oppressive society. Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazer in both literature and film, emerged from humble beginnings in Illinois, eventually becoming the first major African American filmmaker in the United States. His unique perspective as a self-educated man navigating the Jim Crow era significantly informed his writing, enabling him to address themes of race, identity, and aspiration with foresight and sensitivity. Micheaux's legacy as a storyteller continues to inspire and resonates deeply within the canon of American literature. Readers interested in exploring themes of perseverance, identity, and the rich tapestry of African American history will find "The Lone Black Pioneer" an invaluable addition to their literary collection. Micheaux's adept storytelling not only entertains but educates, making this boxed set essential reading for those seeking to understand the complexities of the Black experience in early 20th-century America.

    “They say the first year is the hardest.” 
     
    Kelsey Parker’s world was turned upside down in the summer of 2020 when her husband Tom, singer in boyband The Wanted, was cruelly diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. 
     
    Heavily pregnant with their second child and coping with her own heartache at losing her partner of 13 years, Kelsey remained a tower of strength and positivity for Tom during his darkest days. When traditional treatments stopped working, she spent hours researching alternative therapies to give her husband extra time with his young children Aurelia and Bodhi. 
     
    Hope came late in 2021 when Tom’s tumour became stable, but sadly his condition quickly deteriorated and on March 30, 2022, aged just 33, he died surrounded by his loyal wife, family and friends. 
     
    With And Without You is her moving, deeply personal story of the first 12 months since Tom’s tragic passing. An intimate diary of how she coped with a year of unwanted firsts – first birthdays, first Christmas, first Valentine’s Day – all without the love of her life. It is the story of how she rebuilt her life, and bravely found a way to face the future. Since Tom’s death, Kelsey has been an inspiration to many and a rock to the couple’s children. She has sought to raise awareness of glioblastoma and has bravely campaigned for vital funds for more research into the disease. She has also found spirituality – following Tom’s long held belief there is something greater than just one life. 
     
    With And Without You is not only a story of coping with unimaginable heartbreak and grief, but how your love for someone you’ve lost can be turned into something positive and bring hope and light into your life as you carry on your journey without them.

    A brilliant narrative investigation into the 1920s case that inspired Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers and Margery Allingham. 
     
    In 1922, Major Herbert Armstrong, a Hay-on-Wye solicitor, was found guilty of, and executed for, poisoning his wife, Katharine, with arsenic. 
     
    Armstrong's case has all the ingredients of a classic murder mystery, from a plot by Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers (indeed some aspects of his story appear in Sayers' Unnatural Death). It is a near-perfect whodunnit. 
     
    One hundred years later, Agatha Award-shortlisted Stephen Bates examines and retells the story of the case, evoking the period and atmosphere of the early 1920s, a time of newspaper sensationalism, hypocrisy and sanctimonious morality.

    Peter Bland's life has always been about overcoming challenges and taking that extra step, but sometimes it's a step too far. Like the time he stepped from his tent during and unsupported crossing of the Antarctic peninsula and was swept away by an avalanche ending up unconscious and near death 40 metres down a crevasse. Or the time he dived under a stricken yacht adrift among icebergs in the Southern Ocean on a voyage to the South Magnetic Pole - without a wetsuit and with the external air temperature minus 60 degrees Celsius - in order to free a rope that was wrapped around the propeller. Or how a year after major heart surgery to repair a massive aneurysm he dragged a sled 650 kilometres across the Arctic to become the first Australian to have reached both magnetic poles. 
      
    A Step Too Far is Peter's story. It is a tale of gripping adventure and survival in some of the planet's most inhospitable regions, as well as a profound insight into what drives a person to take such risks in the search for new adrenalin highs, and the strains and stresses it places on those who love them. A Step Too Far is an exciting and utterly absorbing study of a great Australian adventurer.
