  This is small part of the book introduction: Welcome to the journey of discovering the remarkable life and legacy of Rosa Parks, an inspiring figure in American history and a beacon of courage and change. In this book, we delve into the compelling story of Rosa Parks, an ordinary woman who played an extraordinary role in the civil rights movement that reshaped the course of our nation. Rosa Parks' name is synonymous with the fight for justice and equality. Her actions, driven by a deep-seated belief in the inherent rights of all individuals, ignited a spark that set off a wave of change. Born in a time of stark racial segregation and inequality, Rosa's story is one of courage, defiance, and the pursuit of a better world. Through these pages, we'll uncover the key moments that defined Rosa's journey, starting from her early life in the racially divided Alabama of the 20th century. From her pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott to her involvement in the broader struggle for civil rights, we'll explore the events that shaped her path and the impact she left on society. But this book isn't just about history; it's about understanding the person behind the icon. We'll not only examine the significant events but also unravel the messages she carried and the ideals she championed. Rosa's dedication to justice and equality didn't end with her activism; it extended to her message for the youth, her vision for a just society, and her profound reflections on life itself.

  Art and life. Each the mirror of the other.  This then is the classic definition of what ‘Realism’ as a writing form really is.  Some might call it a fancy term for the mundane day to day pursuits but in the hands of an author it comes alive.

  Babylon Revisited - Like his...

  F Scott itzgerald

  Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born on 24th September 1896 in Saint Paul, Minnesota into an upper-middle class family. Whilst his mother was pregnant with him, his two young sisters tragically died.  Fitzgerald once said this was when his destiny as a writer was ordained. 
   
  His intelligence and talent was recognised from an early age, with his first story, about a detective being published in the school magazine when he was just 13.   
   
  In 1913 he enrolled at Princeton but his devotion to his own literary pursuits resulted in him leaving and, rather bizarrely, joining the Army.  In 1918, stationed at Fort Sheridan near Montgomery, Alabama he met and became infatuated and then inseparable from Zelda Sayre.  Initially though she refused to marry him but with the success of ‘This Side of Paradise’, the fame and the flow of money enabled them both to begin a gilded life.  For them this was The Jazz Age.  For Fitzgerald he was already an alcoholic. 
   
  He continued to write with great mastery and the titles of his novels and many of his 164 short stories are household names.  The Great Gatsby, often cited as The Great American Novel was published to mixed reviews.  As America moved from the Great Depression to the slaughter of the Second World War his works and himself were seen as far too entwined with the decadent twenties. The world had moved on and he hadn’t.   
   
  Further tragedy was never far from his life. Zelda after years of erratic and now intolerable behaviour was committed to an institution in 1936.  His own sales began to decline and he became a hack for hire in Hollywood, dependent on increasing amounts of booze and the weekly pay check.  His drunken state had often resulted in arrest or hospitalisation, further imperiling his talents.   Despite his contribution to many MGM films he received only one credit. 
   
  The end came all too soon for one of America’s greatest ever writers.  On 21st December 1940, at only 44 years of age in Hollywood, F Scott Fitzgerald succumbed to a heart attack. 
   
  In this bittersweet story of a man who enjoyed the boom years of la dolce vita and now, in more straitened times, is unable to get what he really wants; the custody of his daughter.  He returns to Paris to meet the ghosts of those good times and to make amends for his past.
