Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - By the Naked Pear Tree, a play in verse, was written in the spirit of Steve Allen's unconventional television program, Meeting of the Minds. Our satirical performance begins outside a New Bedford, Massachusetts court house. The year is 1893 and the trial of Lizzie Borden is about to begin. Dispatching his oration, the tragedian, Euripides, stands in the street preaching the merits of womanhood and relating the concerns he has for the outcome of the trial, and how it may corrupt the honor of the fabled heroines he has written about. Not long after we are introduced to Clarence Darrow-progressive attorney and respected member of the American Civil Liberties Union. Hired by Euripides to allusively defend Lizzie Borden, Darrow invites his colleague and adversary, William Jennings Bryan, to a challenge, giving the dubious Bryan a chance to play prosecutor-to change the course of history, and help convict Lizzie Borden of the murder of her parents. In doing so, the two men agree to a friendly game of poker. Winner of the ensuing card game gets to decide the faith of the accused. But the outcome is not what one would expect, and those who tamper with history are left to reap the consequences.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Emily White lives with her grandmother, Charlotte, in a somnolent whaling village at the end of Point Road in Westport, Massachusetts-where nothing much ever happens. The year is 1861. Civil War has broken out between North and South and some in town have heeded the call for service to their country. Yet, life at Point Village continues with a quiet routine. Emily loves living in Point Village and finds her adventures in books. She is a dedicated member of the Drift River Readers Club, which has recently taken up a book about the suicide death and hanging of Sarah Cornell in Tiverton, Rhode Island-an incident which occurred many years previous. Emily believes that the Club should investigate the thirty-year-old hanging. In her virtuous endeavor to solve the Cornell mystery, the mission at hand becomes derailed when a servant girl is found hanged on a nearby island and her passing regarded as a suicide. Death has become a tormenting companion for Emily and she is determined to solve this crime. As circumstances unfold, the Drift River Readers Club is assigned a puzzle they cannot ignore when one of their members becomes the prey, and the war in the south moves north, complicating things and drawing Emily into the conflict. Follow Emily and Samuel Cory as they set out to sea on the grand schooner Sphinx to unravel a murder and rescue a friend from being the next possible victim.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Upon the insistence of a friend, Emily White becomes a journalist in the coastal city of New Bedford, away from the yawning, farming community of Westport, where she lives. At the Daily Whaler, where the salt and pepper of everyday living is spliced into the printed word, she discovers her fascination with reporting on the more serious infractions of life-murder.Unexpectedly, along with employment comes the indoctrination into a confidential society-one that deals with the heinous transgressions of abduction and the daring exploits of rescue and deliverance. To Emily, this is an adventure worth exploring. The time is 1861, and with civil war unfolding in the south, New Bedford has become a sacrarium by which southern slaves navigate salvation, away from bondage, and discover safe passage north to Canada on the rails of the Underground Railroad.Though young Emily is immersed in the typical duties of reporting everyday life, both mundane and wicked, Underground Rail obligations draw her in. Before long, she finds herself on a ship south and a secret mission of inquiry and danger. Soon, the unexpected pragmatism of subjugation opens her eyes wide. And as she defies the brutality and injustice of plantation life, and the reality of her undisclosed investigation is exposed, it becomes more likely that Emily will never see her loving Westport ever again.…
