Beschreibung

The anthology 'The Life of Sir Thomas More' deftly weaves together an intricate tapestry of perspectives, offering readers a multifaceted view of the renowned figure's life and legacy. The collection navigates through a range of literary styles, from the vivid narrative sequences to more reflective expositions, capturing the era's socio-political complexities and the nuances of More's character. Standout pieces within the anthology highlight the paradoxes and virtues of More's life, reflecting on his contributions both as a statesman and a devout figure caught in the tides of the Reformation. The collection transcends mere biography, inviting readers into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Tudor period. Orchestrated by the notable contributions of William Roper and Henri Brémond, the compilation brings together seasoned voices that connect deeply with More's thematic journey. Roper, with his historical proximity to More, offers an insider's perspective, enriching the narrative with a personal touch that resonates with the passionate and complex humanity of his subject. Brémond, through his scholarly lens, complements this with a broader contextual understanding, aligning the anthology with both the humanist ideals of the Renaissance and the intricate theological debates of the time. Collectively, these authors deliver a compelling dialogue reflecting the literary and historical significance of Sir Thomas More. 'The Life of Sir Thomas More' stands as a beacon for readers eager to delve into the intricate web of historical and cultural narratives. This anthology offers a multifaceted exploration that invites deeper understanding and engagement with More's enduring legacy. It acts as a conduit for educational enrichment, presenting diverse insights that bridge the past with contemporary reflections on morality, leadership, and faith.

    This WWII memoir tells the remarkable story of a Ukrainian girl’s perilous adventures and coming of age amid the chaos of war.  Born in Kiev to a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, Sophia Williams chose to be identified as Jewish when she became eligible for a Soviet passport at age sixteen. She had no way of realizing the life-changing consequences of her decision. When Germany invaded Russia the following year, Sophia left Kiev and embarked on daring journey into Russia—surviving floods, dodging fires and bombs, and falling in love.   After reaching Stalingrad, Sophia found herself stranded in a Nazi-occupied town. She was safely employed by a sympathetic German officer until a local girl recognized her as a Jew. Within days, Sophia’s boss spirited her to safety with his family in Poland. Soon, though, Sophia was on the run again, this time to Nazi Germany, where she somehow escaped detection through the rest of the war.   Her story of survival continues into the postwar years, through starting a family and business with a German soldier. But when her marriage deteriorated, even divorce was not enough to keep her vindictive and violent husband away. Throughout this difficult life, Sophia maintained the grit, charm, and optimism that saved her time and again as she made her “escape into danger.”

    The authorised biography of notorious professional criminal Brenden Abbott chronicling his extraordinary life on the run and decades in maximum security. 
     
     
    Bank robber. Fugitive. Womaniser. Comedian. Conman. Chameleon. How the Postcard Bandit put his stamp on Australia... and paid the price. 
     
    Brenden Abbott escaped custody three times and was a fugitive for more than six years, using sophisticated disguises, fake identities and safehouses to become the nation's most successful and feared bank robber, reaping millions of dollars. 
     
    They called him the Postcard Bandit, after a series of photos emerged of Abbott living the high life of a rich tourist at iconic Australian locations. 
     
    Cunning and shrewd, he used self-taught skills in make-up to create convincing disguises, computers to create false IDs, and electronics to dodge alarms and police. Weeks were spent planning each robbery, observing staff, identifying weaknesses in security, patterns of behaviour and the layout of the banks. 
     
    These intelligence-gathering skills also aided both of his audacious prison escapes, and detectives who have interviewed Abbott say he relentlessly probes for information. 
     
    Less than three years after his recapture, he escaped from a Queensland prison amid a hail of gunfire and became the nation's most wanted man. When they finally caught him, Abbott was cast into a specially built solitary confinement cell, and furious authorities set about trying to break his spirit with endless years of isolation. 
     
    Abbott was held in maximum security in Queensland until he was transferred to Casuarina Prison in Western Australia in 2016. He is eligible for parole in 2028, but claims that after three decades in prison, he's now wrongfully imprisoned. Abbott continues to fight in court for his freedom, desperate to spend time with the son he's only ever known through prison bars. 
     
     
    'Pedley nails the true story of Australia's Dillinger, Brenden Abbott, whose life and crimes raise echoes that go all the way back to Ned Kelly and Ben Hall.' ANDREW RULE, author of The Chosen Few
