Sinopsis

In "The Last of the Plainsmen," Zane Grey masterfully weaves together the rugged fabric of the American West with the vivid, nostalgic recollections of its vanishing frontier. This seminal work encapsulates Grey's characteristic literary style, marked by rich descriptive prose and a keen sense of the awe-inspiring landscapes of the West. Set against the backdrop of the plains, the narrative unfolds through a blend of autobiography and travelogue, recounting Grey's riveting encounters with cowboys, Native Americans, and the untamed wilderness. Published in 1922, this Western classic serves as both a tribute to a bygone era and a poignant commentary on the changing nature of American identity during the early 20th century. Zane Grey, an avid adventurer and passionate outdoorsman, drew upon his extensive travels and experiences to craft his stories. Born in 1872 and raised in Ohio, Grey was captivated by the tales of the frontier, which often inspired his writings. His affinity for the West, bolstered by his understanding of the struggles and triumphs of its inhabitants, allowed him to create authentic portrayals of life on the plains, where he sought to capture the essence of heroism and exploration. Ingeniously combining elements of adventure and nostalgia, "The Last of the Plainsmen" is a must-read for any lover of Western literature. Grey's evocative storytelling invites readers into a vivid world teetering on the brink of obsolescence, encouraging reflection on the enduring spirit of the Plainsmen and the transformative power of nature. This exploration of a legendary era deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone seeking to understand the cultural tapestry of America.

    "The White Seal" is a short story by the Nobel Prize-winning British author Rudyard Kipling. It first appeared in print in the August 1893 issue of the London-based magazine National Review. It was published again in 1894 as part of the anthology The Jungle Book.
    Unusually for a story in The Jungle Book, none of the action in "The White Seal" takes place in India. The story proper begins on an island in the Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska. The title character and protagonist, Kotick, is the first white seal ever to have been born on the island. When Kotick discovers that some of the seals on the island are killed by hunters for their skins every year, he sets off on a quest to find an island where seals can live without fear because no humans have ever visited it. His quest takes him all over the Pacific Ocean and beyond.

    Published posthumously in 1919, this collection of diary entries presents a scathing picture of army life and is said to be one of the most vivid accounts of daily life in the trenches. It chronicles West's increasing disillusion with war and his move toward pacifist and atheist beliefs. The final part consists of his powerful war poems, including God, How I Hate You, You Young Cheerful Men, and Night Patrol. West was killed by a sniper in 1917. In view of some of his poems, one wonders if death was not unwelcome. Arthur Graeme West was a British writer and war poet. West was born in Eaton, Norfolk, educated at Highgate School, then Blundell's School and Balliol College, Oxford, and killed by a sniper in 1917.

    Men and women have many wild fears that are very unlikely to ever come true except perhaps in a dream that lurches into a nightmare that seems so real that it must be real. 
     
    Perhaps being a fellow traveller in a coach or a train carriage and realising, whether in a sudden jolt or a slowly rising uneasy feeling of horror, that your fellow occupants might not actually be from this world, but more probably from the next, would be such a situation. 
     
    We delighted to now put you in such good company!  Indeed Amelia Edwards, E F Benson, Violet Hunt, Rudyard Kipling and the incisive talents of many others would definitely like you along for the ride.

    Lazy Tour of Two Idle...

    In autumn 1857, Charles Dickens embarked on a sightseeing trip to Cumberland with his friend, the rising star of literature Wilkie Collins. Writing together, they reported their adventures for Dickens' periodical Household Words, producing a showcase of both long-cherished and entirely novel sides of these well-loved men of letters. Boasting two ghost stories from undisputed masters of the genre, it also uniquely demonstrates their glee in caricaturing themselves and one another-Collins assumes the identity of Thomas Idle (a born-and-bred idler) and Dickens that of Francis Goodchild (laboriously idle). Through their fictional counterparts, the men relentlessly satirize Dickens' maniacal energy and Collins' idleness. The result is an exuberant diary of a journey and a rare insight into one of literature's most famed and intriguing friendships.
