Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short biography of Charles Dickens by acclaimed actor and writer Simon Callow that offers a fresh perspective on one of the greatest novelists in the English language in a lively, highly readable account. "It has all the gusto that a popular biography of Dickens—a man who “could do nothing by halves”—should possess. . . . The best biography for Dickens newcomers and a wonderful read for all."—Library Journal Dickens was one of the first true celebrity authors. Thousands of fans in Britain and America eagerly awaited each new installment of his stories and flocked to see him on his legendary speaking tours. Not only did he create an incredible cast of characters on the page, but he was also a dazzling mimic and storyteller, and he wrote, stage-managed, and acted in plays for the public. Throughout his life, from his childhood performances in pubs to his legendarily powerful reading tours, Dickens was fanatical about the stage. Callow reveals Dickens’s genius on and off the page and offers a compelling insight into a life that was driven as much by performance and showmanship as by literature.

Download or read book Herman Melville's Whaling Years written by Wilson Lumpkin Heflin and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on more than a half-century of research, Herman Melville's Whaling Years is an essential work for Melville scholars. In meticulous and thoroughly documented detail, it examines one of the most stimulating periods in the great author's life--the four years he spent aboard whaling vessels in the Pacific during the early 1840s. Melville would later draw repeatedly on these experiences in his writing, from his first successful novel, Typee, through his masterpiece Moby-Dick, to the poetry he wrote late in life. During his time in the Pacific, Melville served on three whaling ships, as well as on a U.S. Navy man-of-war. As a deserter from one whaleship, he spent four weeks among the cannibals of Nukahiva in the Marquesas, seeing those islands in a relatively untouched state before they were irrevocably changed by French annexation in 1842. Rebelling against duty on another ship, he was held as a prisoner in a native calaboose in Tahiti. He prowled South American ports while on liberty, hunted giant tortoises in the Galapagos Islands, and explored the islands of Eimeo (Moorea) and Maui. He also saw the Society and Sandwich (Hawaiian) Islands when the Western missionary presence was at its height. Heflin combed the logbooks of any ship at sea at the time of Melville's voyages and examined nineteenth-century newspaper items, especially the marine intelligence columns, for mention of Melville's vessels. He also studied British consular records pertaining to the mutiny aboard the Australian whaler Lucy Ann, an insurrection in which Melville participated and which inspired his second novel, Omoo. Distilling the life's work of a leading Melville expert into book form for the first time, this scrupulously edited volume is the most in-depth account ever published of Melville's years on whaleships and how those singular experiences influenced his writing.

This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rachel Chance thinks she’s just visiting a site on the Underground Railroad as part of the inaugural Glen Falls Freedom Festival until her Greyhound Abby alerts her to a dead body. It’s Anthony Jenkins, a man Rachel had seen arguing with her friend just days earlier. Was Jenkins working on a manuscript that would unmask a criminal? Did his sudden marriage lead a greedy family member to kill for a share of an inheritance? Did a past mistake lead a revenge seeker to Glen Falls, Indiana? It soon becomes clear that there is no lack of motives for murder. Rachel’s romantic interest Will Keller is soon the target of a police detective who had once been involved with Rachel. As past collides with present, Will remains in the crosshairs of the persistent detective. When Angelica Jenkins, the estranged wife of Anthony Jenkins, arrives on the scene, the tension builds. The Jenkins family doesn’t trust her and accuses her of only being after the inheritance. Anthony’s brother Arthur cannot contain his temper and public scenes draw attention to the family. Rachel strives to find out more about the family whose arguments provide potential motives for murder. When the seductive Angelica starts to pay attention to Will, Rachel wonders about her motivation. Will’s office is broken into and Angelica appears along with Detective Garrett. A mystery person was searching looking for something, but what? Rachel and Will begin their own investigation but find more questions than answers. Rachel must put aside her questions about her relationship with Will and her hopes of adopting another Greyhound in order to find a killer. Issues from the past come to light and Rachel wonders if a tragedy from the past came back to haunt Anthony Jenkins. Will and Rachel continue to follow leads but realize that any of the suspects could be a murderer. Is the motive greed, jealousy, or revenge? When Rachel receives a mysterious note that threatens her Greyhound, she becomes more determined than ever to discover the truth behind the murder. Rachel and Will uncover one deception after another but realize that a risky plan that puts them in danger may be the only way to discover the truth. Their plan is thwarted when Rachel is captured by a killer. The danger mounts and at the last minute, an unexpected ally comes to Rachel’s aid. Rachel’s Greyhound Abby plays a vital role in a final confrontation. Will it be enough to solve the mystery and bring a killer to justice?

Download or read book Charles Gates Dawes written by Annette B. Dunlap and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Gates Dawes: A Life is the first comprehensive biography of an American in whose fascinating story contemporary readers can follow the struggles and triumphs of early twentieth-century America and Europe. Dawes is most known today as vice president of the United States under Calvin Coolidge, but he also distinguished himself and his hometown of Evanston, Illinois, on the world stage with the 1925 Nobel Peace Prize. This engrossing biography traces how, when the punitive armistice that ended the First World War resulted in a disabled, restive Germany, Dawes’s diplomatic legerdemain averted war through a renegotiation of Germany’s debt repayments. Dawes’s diplomatic and political achievements, however, were only the illustrious capstones to a multifaceted career that included military service, law, finance, and business on the local, state, national, and global stages. In every arena of his life, he combined the social graces of the Gilded Age with the spirit of service of the Progressive Era. Despite his life of disciplined service, Dawes was an ebullient and irrepressible figure. Dawes’s salty language was often colorful fodder for tabloid and magazine writers of his era. In this captivating biography, Annette B. Dunlap recounts the story of an original American who enlightened and enlivened his world. This book was published in cooperation with the Evanston History Center and with generous support from the Tawani Foundation.
