Sinossi

In "Notes of a War Correspondent," Richard Harding Davis masterfully chronicles his experiences on the front lines during the Spanish-American War, weaving together vivid narratives that reflect both the chaos and the profound humanity found in war. His literary style is characterized by incisive observations, gripping detail, and a keen psychological insight into soldiers and civilians alike. The book serves as a crucial document of its time, capturing not only the events of the conflict but also the burgeoning role of the journalist as a witness and commentator in the increasingly media-driven world of the late 19th century. Richard Harding Davis was an influential American journalist and novelist, renowned for his daring exploits and literate prose. Having grown up in a family friendly to literature and journalism, his early exposure to news reporting shaped his perspective and narrative voice. His travels and adventures across various war zones contributed to his unique understanding of the complexities of conflict, making him a natural choice for the role of war correspondent. I highly recommend "Notes of a War Correspondent" to readers interested in history, journalism, and the human experience during wartime. Davis's evocative storytelling offers not just a chronicle of events, but also a meditation on courage, suffering, and the enduring spirit of those affected by war.

History of Sweden - A...

Captivating History

Did you know that Viking-age Swedes were the founding dynasty of what eventually became Russia? 
 
In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power. The extensive river systems of Russia provided economic and military "super-highways" to the adventurers from the north, who journeyed down them all the way to the Black Sea and Constantinople in search of fame and riches.
 
The rise in TV shows and movies has renewed people's interest in Vikings, but the Swedish Vikings have been notably absent from these accounts. In Captivating History's History of Sweden, you will learn more about these Swedish adventurers, along with other parts of Sweden's fascinating history.
 
In this book, you will discover:

-  The Swedes' fierce struggle to gain independence 
-  The "Father of Sweden," King Gustav Vasa, and his dynasty spawned some of the greatest military minds in Europe 
-  How the Swedish Empire achieved success and expanded as far as North America 
-  Sweden's revolutionary war tactics and how they led to victories on the battlefield 
-  Why Sweden adopted its famous policy of neutrality 
-  The hero Raoul Wallenberg and his role in WWII 
-  And much more!

Porcelain - The Soul That Never...

Miranda Dodge

Yes or No? 
Have you ever been stuck in the past? Running around and around only to find that you are right where you were in the beginning? 
Have you ever fought so hard to break free only to be dragged back in? Ever felt like you couldn't be loved? Couldn't be cherished? 
Have you ever hurt so much to the point where you were bleeding and crying, but numb at the same time? 
That you were worthless and nothing, but refused to give up? 
Did you answer yes? 
Then come find the way out with Ashton, a renowned neurosurgeon, who was kidnapped, raped, beaten, and forced to kill. Only to find she couldn't escape. Until she fell in love with an angel. 
Demons—the most dangerous creatures, and Angels—the purest of all beings. For Ashton Lure, a renowned neurosurgeon, these beings only existed in mythological stories. Or so she thought... And, when she found herself in the Demon Realm, she could only wonder, can I truly be free from him? 
The demons weren't all bad, and the angels weren’t all pure, and somehow, they became a family—something Ashton had missed all her life. But just when she thought she could live without her painful nightmares, the dark past she tried to hide got in the way, threatening to leave her in ruins yet again.
