Scenes in the Life of Harriet...

Sarah H. Bradford

A riveting, first-hand portrait of one of America’s greatest freedom fighters. In this vivid narrative, Sarah H. Bradford gathers Harriet Tubman’s own stories—of brutal childhood in Maryland, a near‑fatal head injury, her daring escape, and the nineteen missions that earned her the name “Moses”—alongside powerful eyewitness letters from Frederick Douglass, Wendell Phillips, Gerrit Smith, Gen. Rufus Saxton, and others. Travel by night under coded hymns, outwit slave catchers, and witness the breathtaking rescues that carried families across the line to liberty. Then follow Tubman into the Civil War as a Union nurse, spy, and guide, where her courage and quick thinking helped liberate hundreds during the Combahee River Raid and comforted soldiers in hospitals and camps.  
 
Brought to life in a warm, steady performance by Cathy Beller, this audiobook preserves the cadence, faith, humor, and resolve of Tubman’s own voice—testimony so immediate it outshines fiction. Essential listening for history lovers, students of African American heritage, and anyone seeking an inspiring true story of resilience, justice, and hope.

Why Read - Selected Writings...

Will Self

From the Booker–shortlisted author of Umbrella, a world-girdling collection of writings inspired by a life lived in and for literature 
 
From one of the most unusual and distinctive writers working today, Will Self’s Why Read is a cornucopia of thoughtful and brilliantly witty essays on writing and literature. 
 
Self takes us with him: from the foibles of his typewriter repairman to the irradiated exclusion zone of Chernobyl, to the Australian outback, and to literary forms past and future. With his characteristic intellectual brio, Self aims his inimitable eye at titans of literature like Woolf, Kafka, Orwell, and Conrad. He  
writes movingly on W. G. Sebald’s childhood in Germany and provocatively describes the elevation of William S. Burroughs’s Junky from shocking pulp novel to beloved cult classic. Self also expands on his regular column in Literary Hub to ask readers how, what, and ultimately why we should read in an  
ever-changing world. Whether he is writing on the rise of the bookshelf as an item of furniture in the nineteenth century or on the impossibility of Googling his own name in a world lived online, Self’s trademark intoxicating prose and mordant, energetic humor infuse every piece. 
 
A book that examines how the human stream of consciousness flows into and out of literature, Why Read will satisfy both old and new readers of this icon of contemporary literature.
