A majestic novel of Florence Nightingale, whose courage, self-confidence, and resilience transformed nursing and the role of women in medicine Sweeping yet intimate, Flight of the Wild Swan tells the story of Florence Nightingale, a brilliant, trailblazing woman whose humanity has been obscured beneath the iconic weight of legend. From adolescence, Nightingale was determined to fulfill her life's calling to serve the sick and suffering. Overcoming Victorian hierarchies, familial expectations, patriarchal resistance, and her own illness, she used her hard-won acclaim as a battlefield nurse to bring the profession out of its shadowy, disreputable status and elevate nursing to a skilled practice and compassionate art. In lush, lyrical detail, Melissa Pritchard reveals Nightingale as a rebel who wouldn't relent—one whose extraordinary life offers a grand lesson in inspired will.Ver libro

Sherwood Anderson was born on 13th September 1876 in Camden, Ohio. When his father’s business failed the family was forced to move on a regular basis before finally settling in Clyde, Ohio. Anderson, one of 7 children, left school at 14 to take a number of jobs to help with the family finances. These were difficult years. He moved to Chicago in search of opportunities before joining the Army for the US-Spanish War of 1898. He then entered Wittenberg Academy in Springfield, Ohio to complete his education before moving back to Chicago to take up a writing job. In 1904 he married Cornelia Lane, her family had resources and Anderson was keen, with this family backing, to run a business. The early years of their marriage produced 3 children but a nervous breakdown in 1907 and another in 1912, despite his success as a business entrepreneur, resulted in him abandoning his family and deciding that a literary career would be best for him. A move back to Chicago resulted in a job in advertising, a divorce from Cornelia and marriage to Tennessee Mitchell. That same year his first book ‘Windy McPherson’s Son’ was released and in 1919, his most famous book, ‘Winesburg, Ohio’, a collection of short stories about life in an Ohio town was released. Anderson continued to write short stories, novels and non-fiction but his only true bestseller came with ‘Dark Laughter’. His influence on writers that followed, from Faulkner to Hemingway, was immense. He also married a further two times. Sherwood Anderson died in in Colón, Panama, on the 8th March, 1941. He was 64. An autopsy revealed that a swallowed toothpick had resulted in peritonitis. His headstone epitaph reads ‘Life, Not Death is the Great Adventure.’Ver libro
The Detective has been a mainstay of fiction writing ever since we can remember. Their deductive powers, their intuition and fleet-footed grasp of every detail can often turn the unlikeliest situation, or bunch of red herrings, into a breakthrough to capture even the most ingenious and dastardly of criminals. In this series our classic authors explore not only various themes, such as Occult Detectives, Female Detectives, Curious Crimes and a whole host more, but also bring a range and depth to the whole culture of criminality as we send in the Long Arm of the Law to bring justice on behalf of the society it serves. In this volume what at first seems like a mystery is carefully unravelled by our clever and savvy sleuths. 1 - The Detective - Mysteries - An Introduction 2 - The Final Problem by Arthur Conan Doyle 3 - Death At 8.30 by Christopher St John Sprigg 4 - Mr Bovey's Unexpected Will by L T Meade and Robert Eustace 5 - The Invisible Weapon by Nicholas Olde 6 - The Coin of Dionysius by Ernest Bramah 7 - The Leak by Jacques Futrelle 8 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny 9 - The Tragedy On the London and Mid-Northern by Victor L Whitechurch 10 - The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railroad by Baroness Emmuska Orczy 11 - The Absence of Mr Glass by G K Chesterton 12 - The Blue Monkey by Frank Howel Evans 13 - The Case of Mr Foggatt by Arthur Morrison 14 - Five Hundred Carats by George Griffiths 15 - The Arrest of Arsene Lupin by Maurice LeBlanc 16 - The Case of Roger Carboyne by H Greenhaugh Smith 17 - Strychnine for Village Dogs by Arthur Gask 18 - The Sapient Monkey by Headon HillVer libro
