Some Poems - Exploring the Depths of Love and Nature in Classic Verses

Walter Scott

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Some Poems," Walter Scott masterfully intertwines narrative and lyricism, presenting a collection that reflects his profound engagement with Scottish history and folklore. The poems vary in tone and style, ranging from the romantic to the heroic, embodying the early 19th-century Romantic movement's preoccupations with nature, emotion, and the nation's past. Scott'Äôs adept use of Scottish dialect and vivid imagery transports readers to a realm where history and legend coalesce, offering not just entertainment but also a reflection on cultural identity. Walter Scott, often heralded as the father of the historical novel, was profoundly influenced by his Scottish heritage, his legal background, and his experiences in the turbulent sociopolitical landscape of his time. His dedication to preserving and celebrating Scottish culture is evident throughout this collection, which draws on themes of nationalism and nostalgia'Äîelements likely nurtured by his own journey through the complexities of identity during the early 19th century. "Some Poems" is a seminal work for any reader interested in Romantic literature or the rich tapestry of Scottish culture. Scott'Äôs ability to evoke powerful emotions while grounding his narratives in historical context makes this collection indispensable for both literary enthusiasts and scholars alike. Dive into these poetic realms to discover the allure of Scotland's heritage through the eyes of one of its most celebrated sons.

The Mirror Lied - Based on a...

Ph.D. Marc A. Zimmer, N.R. Mitgang

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
“#1 bestseller on AMAZON (eating disorders)”
“A book that will make you cry and leave you with hope and lifted spirits.”
Ira M. Sacker, M.D., (author: Regaining Your Self, and co-author: Dying to Be Thin)
“The Mirror Lied is a heartfelt account of individuals suffering from eating disorders. This insightful, engaging, and masterful book is a must-read for individuals suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.”
Judy E. Marshel, Ph.D., RD, is a nutrition therapist specializing in eating disorders.
The Mirror Lied is based on the true story of Jessica Gordon. Told in Jessica's voice, and based on extensive interviews with her, The Mirror Lied has been called “gripping,” “compelling” and “heart-wrenching” (AMAZON reviews).
Before she turned twenty, Jessica was raped by the woman entrusted to protect her and nearly killed by her brother. But those events pale in comparison to the life and death struggles she faced for twenty-five years as she fought for her life against her battles with anorexia and bulimia, laxative abuse, and cutting.
Readers are pulled into Jessica’s world of pain and struggle as they witness her effort to overcome this debilitating disorder. They also meet the people fighting to save her life.
To quote Jessica: “To those in recovery, stay there. To those who seek help, may you find a good therapist who knows how to help you. To those in denial of their eating disorder problem – heaven help you.”
Marc A. Zimmer, Ph.D., is an eating disorders specialist and co-author of the best-selling book, Dying to Be Thin. Dr. Zimmer has lectured extensively and he has published numerous journal articles on eating disorders.
N.R. Mitgang is the co-author (Haskins / Mitgang) of Mr. Bojangles (William Morrow) and an acclaimed playwright (New York Times).

The Whitby Rebels

Bea Roberts

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grosmont.
This motley crew was assembled for a daring mission: to erect a plaque honouring the legendary Whitby whaler and explorer Captain William Scoresby Senior on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland. The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the plan... unhinged.
A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination, Bea Roberts's play The Whitby Rebels premiered at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, in 2024, directed by Paul Robinson.
