Synopsis

The "Christmas Collection - The Best Holiday Novels, Stories, Carols & Legends" is a vast anthology that encapsulates the essence of the holiday season through a tapestry of narratives and styles. Spanning classic fairy tales, poignant moral stories, and timeless carols, this collection celebrates the multifaceted spirit of Christmas, embodying themes of joy, generosity, and introspection. Without attributing to a single author, the anthology houses gems like enchanting tales that spark imagination and warmth, stories that delve into social consciousness and morality, and evergreen verses that evoke nostalgia and festive cheer. The collection features contributions from a constellation of literary luminaries whose works collectively kindle a communal tapestry that speaks to the heart of the Christmas spirit. From the moral clarity found in the works of Charles Dickens to the whimsical charm of Hans Christian Andersen, the anthology bridges various historical and cultural landscapes. Aligned with movements such as Romanticism and Victorian idealism, the works capture the global Christmas ethos through a diversity of voices—ranging from the American realism of Mark Twain to the Scandinavian folklore of Selma Lagerlöf—essentially harmonizing universal themes of compassion and human connection. This anthology is an indispensable compilation for anyone yearning to explore the rich, enduring traditions of Christmas through a literary lens. Providing educational value and thoughtful insights, readers are invited to immerse themselves in a carefully curated selection of broad-ranging narratives and themes. It is an invaluable resource that encourages dialogue among its varied pieces and serves as an invitation to experience the timelessness of holiday reflections within the folds of one beautifully presented volume.

    In early 2001, as Madeleine Albright neared the end of her term at the State Department, she asked herself: What’s next? She was only sixty-three years old and not ready to retire. She was still there and planning to do much more. In Hell and Other Destinations (2020), the former secretary of state and US ambassador to the UN reflects on the years that followed and recalls the events, accomplishments, mistakes, and decisions that marked her career in foreign policy.

    Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
    He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. 
    In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
    Pain was also a noted and prominent contributor to The Granta and from 1896 to 1928 a regular contributor to the Windsor Magazine. 
    It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was a master of disturbing prose but was also able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness. 
    Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

    Ida Lupino Forgotten Auteur -...

    Alexandra Seros

    Though her acting career is well known, Ida Lupino was, until very recently, either unknown or overlooked as an influential director. One of the few female directors in Classical Hollywood, Lupino was the only woman with membership in the Directors Guild of America between 1948 and 1971. Her films were about women without power in society and engaged with highly controversial topics despite Hollywood's strict production code. Working in a male-dominated field, Lupino was forced to manage her public persona carefully, resisting attempts by the press to paint her solely as a dutiful wife and mother—a continual feminization—just so that she could continue directing. 
     
     
     
    Filmmaker Alexandra Seros retells the story of Ida Lupino's career, from actor to director, first in film, then in television, using archival materials from collections housed around the world. The result provides rich insights into three of Lupino's independently directed films and a number of episodes from her vast television oeuvre. Seros contextualizes this analysis with discussions of gendered labor in the film industry, the rise of consumerism in the United States after World War II, and the expectations put on women in their family lives during the postwar era. Seros's portrait of Lupino ultimately paints her life and career as an exemplar of collaborative auteurship.

    Professional golfer Andrew "Beef" Johnston has played in the world's biggest tournament, won big-money events, and sunk monster putts while fans were booming out his nickname: "BEEEEEEF!" On the downside, Beef has also duffed it, thinned it, and shanked it like every single person who's ever played the game. Because no matter who you are, golf can make you look like an idiot. 
     
     
     
    Golf is Hard reflects on Beef's early years at his local Pitch & Putt to his stellar career playing against the best on the greatest courses on the planet, taking you inside the world of professional golf like no book before. With painfully honest stories, Beef delves into the pressure of the profession, but also shares golfing advice and side-splitting behind-the-scenes insights to bring a new perspective to the game. What is Tiger Woods really like in the locker room? How did it feel to hit one of the worst shots in golf history in front of millions of viewers during the British Open? And just how many clubs has Beef broken through fits of rage and frustration during his illustrious career? 
     
     
     
    This is a book for everyone who has ever loved and loathed the game in equal measure but managed to see the funny side. After all, golf is really hard, so you might as well have a laugh about it along the way.
