  In January 1900, galvanised by the daring of the Boers in taking on imperial Britain, the young Russian officer Yevgeny Avgustus set off for the Transvaal to fight in the Anglo-Boer War. Like most of the foreign volunteers who flocked to the Boer cause, he ended up on the Natal front.
  Avgustus and his companions joined the Krugersdorp Commando, and their experiences in the field are portrayed in vivid detail. The central part of this gripping account covers the Battle of the Tugela Heights in February 1900 and the Boers' subsequent
  retreat. The immediacy of Avgustus's writing captures his trepidation and excitement as he approaches the battlefield for the first time, as well as his experience of life on commando.
  The keen eye of this foreign volunteer brings to life a turning point in South African history. Avgustus is a gifted writer, and his narrative offers both acute observation and thoughtful
  introspection.
  A gripping portrayal of human frailty and courage in the face of mortal danger, A Russian on Commando highlights both the strange attraction and the absurdities of war.

  Open Fire - Poems

  Deborah Gorlin

  Even as they consider the paradoxical properties of fire, its potential both for creativity and for destruction, the poems in this book burn with the intent to illuminate the objects of their contemplation. Open Fire conjures both the violent imperative of a firing squad, and the communal warmth radiating from a campfire. In persona and ekphrastic forms, Gorlin jimmies the lock of her identity to pull off daring acts of imaginative immersion and poetic ventriloquism as she adventures into the images of artists, and the lives of figures featured in the Bible, myth, literature, history, biography, fashion design, and current events. Imagine yourself as the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Leda with a surprising assessment of the swan, the World War II photographer Lee Miller in Hitler’s bathtub, the British fashionista Isabella Blow, and even Death itself mourning over the Covid epidemic.

  Nietzsche argues that philology is not just an academic discipline, but a way of life that requires a deep appreciation for language and culture. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the historical context of texts, and the need to read them in their original language to fully appreciate their meaning and beauty. "We Philologists" is a passionate and insightful reflection on the value and meaning of philology, and a call to approach the study of language and literature with greater creativity and sensitivity. Read in English, unabridged.

  Some Forgotten Pennsylvania...

  Some Forgotten Pennsylvania Heroines is a reflective and dignified tribute to women whose courage helped shape American history but whose names rarely appear in standard accounts. 
  Written in the early twentieth century, Henry W. Shoemaker’s historical address and biographical sketches move beyond fame and rank to honor women whose lives were defined by endurance, service, and moral resolve. From the Pennsylvania frontier to the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, these narratives illuminate acts of quiet heroism carried out in cabins, villages, battlefields, and along the edges of recorded history. 
  Listeners encounter figures such as Mary Jemison, who lived among the Seneca; Regina Hartman, recognized after years of captivity by a familiar hymn; and the enduring symbol of “Molly Pitcher,” whose wartime bravery was followed by hardship and obscurity. The collection also remembers frontier women who defied danger, protected their communities, preserved faith and family under extreme conditions, and bore loss without recognition—including stories tied to Gettysburg, the Pennsylvania wilderness, and early American settlements. 
  Narrated with clarity and restraint by Margaret Hnat, this audiobook preserves the tone of a commemorative address—measured, reverent, and purposeful—inviting listeners to reflect on lives lived with resolve rather than acclaim. 
  Some Forgotten Pennsylvania Heroines stands as an act of historical remembrance, restoring attention to women whose character, sacrifice, and public spirit helped shape a nation.
