Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - About The Austenites: For lovers of Jane Austen, The Austenites offers a lovely basket of gifts. Satirical Regency sensibilities are combined with an alternative WWII British history, where a group of quirky aristocrats join forces with the British military to undertake a construction project which will protect Chawton, Austen's last home, from Nazi bombs. These toffs come under the supervision of a reluctant military officer, Major Elias McBride, himself sidelined from combat by a serious war injury. Hardly a fan of Jane Austen himself, Elias finds Professor Mabel Durrell, who is the guiding personality of the project, haughty and insufferable. Lady Durrell finds him resentful, uncultured and insufficiently refined. Even as these two characters pick and bicker, the group somehow manages to complete their project, succeeding in assuring greater safety and protection for Chawton for generations to come.About the author: Beatriz Seelaender is a Brazilian author from São Paulo.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For fans of Donald Justice, Julie Kane and Louise Gluck.Winner of the Hidden River Arts' Willow Run Poetry Book Award, Five Women explores the evolving interior lives of five women from different historical eras. The first four-- a woman in ancient Sparta, a medieval anchoress, a young accuser during the Salem witch trials, and a pioneer schoolteacher-- all operate outside the norms of their societies, speaking to us in a range of poetic forms and disparate voices. The fifth speaker is a contemporary woman, documenting a woman's current challenges in marriage, career and childrearing. The poems, taken together, link these lives to one another, and to the lives of so many women, both past and present, whose authentic selves stay hidden from the world. Each grouping of poems presents an extended narrative of a single life, told in a roughly chronological way- though the start and end points are different for each character in the volume. For some, the journey is between birth and death; for others, it is between despair and happiness. Cohen moves between strict poetic forms (sestinas, sonnets, etc.) and metrical free verse.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mark Eliot Nuckols shares a highly personal account of returning to the land of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, on the occasion of the centennial of Franz Ferdinand's assassination. Although this anniversary is fraught, Nuckols' return is one that is also filled with reunions, memories of years spent in these areas as a student and young man. The tone of this work manages to blend the solemnity with a deep and abiding love for the cultures, the people, the region, and the history of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Nuckols brings us along on his journey, introduces us to his friends and colleagues. He takes us into his old haunts, introduces us to the food, the celebrations, the music and the passions of this very magical part of the world.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WINNER OF THE SANDY RUN AWARDAbout the book: A remote forest village invaded and sacked, its young daughters herded away to slavery in the camp of a power-mad cult: what might be a story of hopeless misery becomes instead a celebration of ingenuity and will.The brilliant Korobanti and her resourceful friend Suntu craft escape after escape in an odyssey that carries them through landmarks of human cruelty, from Camp Cobra where girls are abused and worked to death by thugs who don't consider them human; to the clandestine spy post of Eden where they are once again held captive, this time by a military that considers itself enlightened; and finally to the crammed and besieged enclave of Smoke City, where despite constant threats they not only thrive, but create the means to save other girls from the suffering they once endured.Desert's End is a novel of brutal realism, but also a novel of transcendence. Publisher's note: Susan Fox's manuscript Names of the Dead won The Sandy Run Novella Award from Hidden River Arts. The work was then developed and expanded into the novel Desert's End and published by Hidden River. Hidden River Arts is an interdisciplinary arts organization dedicated to supporting and celebrating the unserved artists among us, particularly those outside the artistic and academic mainstream. From the author: Desert's End is about kidnapped and enslaved children. It recounts their torment, but also their liberation, their recovery, and their triumphant transformation into the liberators of others. There is brutality in these pages, as there is too often in the lives of the innocent of this world. There is also lyric beauty, steadfast comradeship, and a route-if only a fictional one-to salvation. Some readers may have to shield themselves against scenes of cruelty in the novel's opening pages. I hope those readers will understand-I hope all of you will understand-that I could not escape writing about cruelty and still be honest about the story I was compelled to tell. I hope that, like my valiant heroine Korobanti and her friends as they transcend atrocity, we can all imagine a world in which atrocity, not salvation, is only fictional. -Susan Fox For fans of Mark Sullivan's All the Glimmering Stars, and Isha Sesay's Beneath the Tamarind Tree: You will find Desert's End by Susan Fox an equally powerful, unforgettable reading experience.…
