    Enchanting, tragic, and hilarious fairy tales for adults and children grace these pages. An initial glance might lead you to assume that these are satirical versions of classic Christmas ghost stories. However, beneath the humorous stories involving ghosts, repentant sinners, miracles, and good peasants who find well-deserved happiness, lies a psychological undercurrent that sharpens the sense of intrigue and plot movement. Often this is aided by the unrelenting social exposure of the authors who always understood how intangible the "bourgeois paradise" truly was. Even today, idyllic dreams of tolerance, equality, and the triumph of justice have failed to materialize. Perhaps that is why people continue to read these classic stories while the snow falls outside and the lights glow on the Christmas tree.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  When Dennette 'D.G.' Tolliver lost her husband Henry without warning, her world split open. What 
    followed wasn’t just grief — it was the unraveling and rebuilding of everything she ever believed about 
    love, family, identity, and survival. In this raw and deeply honest memoir, Dennette takes you into the 
    hidden corners of her life: a childhood marked by trauma, a young womanhood shaped by hard 
    lessons, a marriage forged in both passion and conflict, and the everyday reality of raising children 
    while life is happening fast and hard. From courtrooms and mistakes to wedding vows and late–night 
    arguments, from moments that broke her spirit to the love that kept pulling her back up, Dennette 
    reveals a truth most people are afraid to admit: Love doesn’t erase the darkness. Love learns to walk 
    through it. Love grows up. Love wins — but not the way we expect. You’ll walk with her through 
    motherhood, marriage, grief, discipline, and the love story that changed her forever. If you've ever 
    walked through darkness, fought for your family, or loved someone deeply, this memoir will speak to 
    you. Because even when life doesn’t look the way you hoped... love still wins.

    In this landmark collection, William T. Vollmann offers a kaleidoscopic retrospective of the visual artwork he has produced over four decades, with new commentary from Vollmann on his process, inspiration, and the many intersections with his writing. 
     
     
     
    The celebrated author of over twenty-five books (among them the National Book Award–winning novel Europe Central; the seven-volume Rising Up and Rising Down, based on Vollmann's career as a war correspondent; and the two-volume climate change investigation Carbon Ideologies), Vollmann's equally ambitious and prolific career as a photographer, printmaker, and painter reflects the artist’s deep interest in people existing on the margins, a profound empathy for his subjects, and the humility and generosity to meet them on their terms. 
     
     
     
    In Shadows of Love, Shadows of Loneliness, a series of essays  commissioned especially for this book lays out Vollmann's views on what photographs can and should say, how he chooses what to represent (beauty, suffering, compassion, love, desire, ideology), thoughts on photographic consensuality, and any number of technical descriptions. Particularly useful for Vollmann fans and scholars are the cross-references between these artistic and photographic projects and his books.

    John Bindon was a modern legend. A powerful figure in London's underworld, his film-star looks, charm and talent brought him worldwide exposure. His story reads like the plot of a movie in which Big John himself might have landed a part. Usually typecast in tough-guy roles, his on-screen persona was chillingly close to the real-life one.  
    Big John’s good looks and charisma led to encounters with stunning women, most famously Princess Margaret, and numerous high profile relationships. But most of all, Big John was a warm-hearted, complex man, utterly devoted to those who gave him respect and always prepared to be the last line of defence to those closest to him. He emerged from a poor, working class London childhood and fraternised with the Krays and the Richardsons, but eventually turned his back on crime to play major parts in films such as Mick Jagger's Performance, The Who's Quadrophenia and Michael Caine's Get Carter. This is a truly moving story about a man who was many different things to many people, but never anything but himself.
