Summary

The Ebb-Tide: A Trio And Quartette navigates the tumultuous waters of human ambition, folly, and morality amidst the backdrop of the South Seas. Through an eclectic mix of adventure, psychological drama, and a touch of social critique, this anthology stands as a testament to the diversity and depth of literary expression found within the works. The collection is marked by its vivid storytelling and atmospheric nuances, capturing not just the physical environment but the turbulent internal landscapes of its characters. Standout pieces evoke a compelling narrative around the themes of colonialism, friendship, betrayal, and survival, echoing the complex human experiences of the era. This anthology brings together the literary prowess of Robert Louis Stevenson and Lloyd Osbourne, whose collaboration harmonizes their distinctive voices and narratives. Their combined efforts draw from personal experiences and profound observations, resonating with the late 19th-century literary movement that grapples with the loss of innocence and the darkness lurking beneath the veneer of civilization. The collection's potent and varied voices encapsulate the socio-cultural dynamism of its time, bringing forth narratives that are as enlightening as they are engaging. For readers seeking a deep dive into disparate yet interwoven narratives, The Ebb-Tide: A Trio And Quartette offers a unique opportunity to explore a wide array of perspectives and stylistic approaches within a single volume. It presents a multifaceted exploration of universal themes that are as relevant today as when they were first penned. Through its richly diverse content, the anthology underscores the enduring power of literature to reflect and challenge human experiences, inviting readers into a vibrant dialogue fostered by the complex interrelations of its stories.

    Named a Kirkus “Best Books of 2022” 
    “An engrossing account of the entrepreneur—and the bra—that changed women’s sports.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “…an extraordinary narrative that should be added to every bookshelf….Lindahl’s five-star account will provide inspiration, comfort, laughter, and community….” —San Francisco Book Review 
    The 1970s saw women coming into their own, working hard to create new roles at home and in sports, culture, politics, and business. It was also the start of the “fitness revolution.” At this unique intersection of feminism and athleticism, Lisa Lindahl’s game-changing entrepreneurial journey began. 
    She invented the first sports bra, the “Jogbra,” in 1977. It was the right product at the right time, throwing Lisa into a high-stakes world of business and power—a world for which she was not fully prepared. Unleash the Girls is the improbable story of a young artist with a disability who used her powers of creativity to solve a vexing problem and ended up leveling the playing field for girls and women across the globe—literally, unleashing the girls. 
    Her invention would become a feminist icon and the company she founded would change an industry. But amid the success, Lisa continued to search for meaning and the true nature of power and beauty. This is the untold story of the invention of the sports bra and how it changed the world for girls and women...and, along the way, changed Lisa, too.
