Sinossi

'Carmilla & The Well of Loneliness' presents a poignant exploration of alienation and identity through the lens of both gothic and modernist literary styles. This anthology juxtaposes Radclyffe Hall's groundbreaking reflections on sexual identity with Sheridan Le Fanu's eerie, classic vampire tale, crafting a nuanced dialogue on the societal peripheries. The collection showcases an exceptional range of narrative techniques, from Le Fanu's dense, atmospheric horror to Hall's introspective, realist prose, allowing the themes of exclusion and otherness to resonate profoundly in their disparate, yet curiously parallel worlds. The works stand as cultural landmarks, extending a literary bridge between the Victorian supernatural and the 20th-century quest for personal authenticity. Both Radclyffe Hall and Sheridan Le Fanu were pioneers in their respective fields, challenging societal norms and expanding the horizons of the literary landscape. Hall's work aligns with early 20th-century movements toward realism and psychological narration, while Le Fanu's contributions laid foundations for the gothic genre in the 19th century. Their narratives, enriched by distinct historical and cultural backgrounds, collectively offer a multifaceted examination of the human condition when confronted by societal rejection and self-discovery. 'Carmilla & The Well of Loneliness' is indispensably valuable to scholars and enthusiasts of literature who seek to understand the evolution of narrative forms and themes concerning marginalization. This anthology invites readers to traverse through varying epochs and styles, engaging with texts that have significantly influenced discussions on identity and conformity. For those keen on dissecting significant literary movements or exploring complex personal and cultural struggles, this collection proves an essential, enlightening companion.

    OCT 7 - The War Against Hamas...

    On the morning of October 7, 2023, Israelis awoke to a harrowing reality. Not only were hundreds of rockets being launched from Gaza into Israeli population centers, but the security border had also been breached by several thousand Hamas terrorists. Carnage, not seen since the Second World War, ensued. Elkana Cohen, Captain of an Elite Commando Unit was called, along with thousands of other reservists, to prepare for war. One that will have to ensure nothing less than Israel's survival. 
     
     
     
    In notebooks he found on the ground in the streets of Gaza, Cohen began writing a diary. Every day, he candidly documented the sights of the war. From an honest, precise, and fluid first-person perspective, Cohen presents the feeling and story of the war from the eyes of the heroes who were there: the dust, the sweat, the brotherhood, the longing, and the awful smell of death and destruction. Cohen's writing poignantly describes his relationships with his fellow comrades, the mass arrests of terrorists, the homes of Hamas members, the story of the fallen soldiers, and the desperate hope to bring the hundreds of Israeli hostages home. OCT 7 is not only the story of one Israeli officer, but it is also the narrative of an entire nation. A nation that stepped up without a moment's hesitation to face an existential challenge with a sense of purpose and mission.

    One of the most dominant college wrestlers in history, Ben Askren became a folk hero during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, before going on to become a multiple time MMA champion and one of the sport's biggest stars. 
     
     
     
    Here, in Funky, this record-breaking wrestler and polarizing UFC fighter shares how he came to dominate opponents while blazing a trail through competitors in unprecedented ways. Not blessed with natural athleticism, he revolutionized folkstyle wrestling by innovating his own technique, which earned him the famous nickname, "Funky." 
     
     
     
    What ensued was an improbable takeover of combat sports by a firebrand who defied tradition, becoming the University of Missouri's first ever national champion while twice winning the prestigious Dan Hodge trophy. Now, Askren opens up about how he bucked convention, how he used his wrestling base to seize the world of cage-fighting, and how he eventually forced UFC president Dana White to end their decade-long public feud via a historic trade. 
     
     
     
    Love him or hate him, win or lose, Ben Askren showed what determination means by staying true to one of his earliest revelations on the mats:  "I was never going to let anybody outwork me."

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    The City of Lights may be one of the glories of the world but for those whose three score and ten have passed it is the final resting place for some of the very finest of literary talents.

    Rocky Mountain High - A Tale of...

    The best-selling author of The Long Haul returns with the story of ditching his truck to seek his fortune … in hemp. 
     
    After decades as a long-haul trucker, Finn Murphy left the road and settled in Boulder County, Colorado. Before long he noticed that many of his neighbors were captivated by the prospect of vast riches in “the Hemp Space.” When hemp was legalized, after eighty years in federal exile, Colorado  
    became the center of a hemp growing and processing boom. Figuring he’d harvest some of that easy money, Murphy bought a thirty-six-acre farm. What could go wrong? Well, pretty much everything. … 
     
    Rocky Mountain High is the comic chronicle of a wild year as Murphy follows his Great American Dream, gradually losing his shirt but not his spirit. Pivoting away from growing hemp himself, he decides to make himself a middleman. He builds drying sheds the size of football fields. He battles with  
    freezing temperatures and even colder bankers. And he assembles an eclectic crew of workers, including the wry and vastly talented Manuel, the business savvy Pierce, and a scruffy army of “trimmigrants”—specialized farm laborers who roam the country pursuing (or not) their own American Dreams.  
    Pretty soon, Murphy is burning through his cash and skirmishing with the mercurial denizens who inhabit the Wild West of the hemp market. 
     
    Told with Murphy’s trademark wit, keen eye for character, and sharp insights intothe hardscrabble society around him, Rocky Mountain High is an inside look at the alluring world of the hemp boom and a masterful tale of one entrepreneur’s misadventures.
