He modeled his military command on Shackleton's legendary skills and was determined to measure his own powers of endurance against them. He was related to one of Shackleton's men, Frank Worsley, and spent a fortune collecting artifacts from their epic treks across the continent. Worsley felt an overpowering connection to those expeditions. Shackleton never completed his journeys, but he repeatedly rescued his men from certain death, and emerged as one of the greatest leaders in history. He spent his life idolizing Ernest Shackleton, the nineteenth-century polar explorer, who tried to become the first person to reach the South Pole, and later sought to cross Antarctica on foot. Henry Worsley was a devoted husband and father and a decorated British special forces officer who believed in honor and sacrifice. David Grann tells Worsley’s remarkable story with the intensity and power that have led him to be called “simply the best narrative nonfiction writer working today.” By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon. Melchor seems fascinated by the gratuitousness of violence, by the absence of any sense of responsibility. Melchor must have been aware of the risks of this decision: if the novel doesn’t care, why should the reader?. Since they don’t care who Señora Marián is, in other words, the novel doesn’t care, either. The novel stays stubbornly within the vantage of the two friends who plan to attack her its narrative choices mimic their highly circumscribed empathy. We never get to know Señora Marián as anything other than Franco’s object of desire. But Melchor is primarily a novelist, not a journalist, and there are no concessions here to any kind of reportorial completeness. But the new novel departs from the previous one in important ways: it is more contained, less daring, less ambitious it is, in a peculiar way, more reader-friendly. Paradais is a portrait of an ailing society inured to its own cruelty, and employs long paragraphs and supple sentences, always alive to the rhythms of speech. She has already conquered a significant place in Hispanic-American literature. And they establish Melchor, who was born in 1982, as the latest of Faulkner’s Latin American inheritors, and among the most formidable. With a nimble command of the novel’s technical resources and an uncanny grasp of the irrational forces at work in society, the navigate a reality riven by violence, race, class, and sex. An extensive appendix and an index help readers correlate the maps with Tolkien' s novels. Plans and descriptions of castles, buildings, and distinctive landforms are given, along with thematic maps describing the climate, vegetation, languages, and population distribution of Middle-earth throughout its history. Hundreds of two-color maps and diagrams survey the journeys of the principal characters day by day - including all the battles and key locations of the First, Second, and Third Ages. Authentic and updated - nearly one third of the maps are new, and the text is fully revised - the atlas illuminates the enchanted world created in THE SILMARILLION, THE HOBBIT, and THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Here is the definitive guide to the geography of Middle-earth, from its founding in the Elder Days through the Third Age, including the journeys of Bilbo, Frodo, and the Fellowship of the Ring. Karen Wynn Fonstad' s THE ATLAS OF MIDDLE-EARTH is an essential volume that will enchant all Tolkien fans. With a husband alternately absent and possessively close, Corrine doesn't yet realize that she's barely scratched the surface of what lies beneath Foxworth Hall's dark facade and the family that guards its legacies. Even her son, Malcolm Foxworth, born in the luxe Swan Room and instantly whisked away to a wet nurse, feels alien to her. Stern portraits glare at her from the walls, and the servants treat her strangely. Often alone in the mansion of Foxworth Hall, she can practically feel the ancestors' judgment of her as insufficient-as not a Foxworth. Married to the handsome, wealthy Garland Foxworth following a wildfire romance and an unexpected pregnancy, young Corrine Dixon finds her life very different from how she imagined it. The second book in a new prequel story arc, Out of the Attic explores the Dollanganger family saga by traveling back decades to when the clan's wicked destiny first took root. The twisted, beloved Dollanganger legend began two generations before Corrine Foxworth locked away her children in Flowers in the Attic. In 2011, The Blackhouse won the 2011 Cezam Prix Littéraire Inter CE, a readers' prize for best novel by a European author, published in France. As the narrative progresses, it emerges that Fin and his childhood story are intimately linked with the murder. The Lewis Man is the follow-up to The Blackhouse, which was an international bestseller in both hardback and paperback. The story unfolds as the chapters alternate between present-day events, written in the third person, and Fin's childhood, written in the first person. The modus operandi of the crime resembles a murder that Fin recently investigated in Edinburgh, so there is the possibility of a common perpetrator. The protagonist, Detective Inspector Finlay Macleod (known as Fin), a native of the island, is sent from his Edinburgh police station to investigate the murder of a man who, it transpires, was the bully at Fin's school. The action takes place mostly on the remote and weather-beaten Isle of Lewis off the coast of northern Scotland. The Blackhouse is a suspense thriller, the first novel of The Lewis Trilogy, written by the Scottish writer Peter May. Detective Inspector Fin Macleod is sent from Edinburgh to investigate. With soaring prose that celebrates a resurgent American Midwest, Shortest Way Home narrates the heroic transformation of a “dying city” (Newsweek) into nothing less than a shining model of urban reinvention. Once described by the Washington Post as “the most interesting mayor you’ve never heard of,” Pete Buttigieg, the thirty-seven-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has now emerged as one of the nation’s most visionary politicians. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "The best American political autobiography since Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father." ―Charles Kaiser, The Guardian A mayor’s inspirational story of a Midwest city that has become nothing less than a blueprint for the future of American renewal. |
