![]() ![]() ![]() Enriched by the series’ trademark comprehensive maps, illustrations, and annotations, and with contributions from the preeminent classical scholars of today, The Landmark Arrian: The Campaigns of Alexander is the definitive edition of this essential work of ancient history. This vivid and engaging new translation of Arrian will fascinate readers who are interested in classical studies, the history of warfare, and the origins of East–West tensions still swirling in Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan today. Arrian, himself a military commander, combines his firsthand experience of battle with material from Ptolemy’s memoirs and other ancient sources to compose a singular portrait of Alexander. Arrian’s Campaigns of Alexander, widely considered the most authoritative history of the brilliant leader’s great conquests, is the latest addition to the acclaimed Landmark series.Īfter twelve years of hard-fought campaigns, Alexander the Great controlled a vast empire that was bordered by the Adriatic sea to the west and modern-day India to the east. ![]() ![]() Benedict, author of THE BEAUTY OF MURDER Elegiac in its prose and haunting in its imagery, is a precisely and beautifully woven tapestry through which threads of darkness wind their inevitable way. It is rare to find such sumptuous prose - A.K. James, author of THE HAUNTING OF MADDY CLARE Beautifully written Gothic. The book leaves the reader breathless in its gothic tale of fear, family, blood, and love - Simone St. As each layer of mystery is peeled away, more haunting truth is revealed. Mike Mignola, creator of HELLBOY RAWBLOOD weaves a spell that both terrifies and mesmerizes. I have never read anything like it and that's saying something. While it delivers everything I want from a "haunted house/family curse" story it is still stunningly original. ![]() ![]() From the modern horrors of man - medical experiments, war - to the ancient power of the natural world,The Girl from Rawblood is not only a ghost story of the highest order, but a sublime meditation on the things that hold us captive: fidelity, fear, memory, love - Leslie Parry, author of THE CHURCH OF MARVELS Brilliant - RAWBLOOD is the old-school gothic novel I have been waiting for. ![]() ![]() I also enjoyed how the different types of narrative, at first strange to me, didn’t get in the way of the story, made the story run smoothly, and brought unique perspectives to the plot, as two of the three characters were in the past and had different socioeconomic backgrounds while one character is in the future, looking back and trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened in the past. ![]() Personally, I enjoyed The Glass Ocean, as I felt as though all the characters’ storylines were connected since there were points that were connected, even though they may have been small points. The Glass Ocean by Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White follows three women as the Lusitania steams toward its untimely demise. She is really Tennessee Schaff, daughter of a con man and an expert of forging. Two characters from the past and one present, are part of the fictional tale of the Cunard ocean liner, the RMS Lusitania, which set sail from New York in the early 1900s for London during the first World War. Tessa Fairweather is traveling back home to Devon, U.K., or that is the story that she is telling fellow passengers. Beatriz Williams, Lauren Willig, and Karen White’s historical mystery THE GLASS OCEAN is spectacular. ![]() On board the RMS Lusitania, in 1915, Caroline Hochstetter’s marriage is in a crisis her husband, once attentive toward her, has been more focused on business. ![]() ![]() Desperate, she opens a chest that once belonged to her great-grandfather who died on board the RMS Lusitania, which was sunk by a German U Boat in 1915. In May 2013, author Sarah Blake is struggling to find a big idea for her next book. ![]() ![]() With critically acclaimed titles in history, science, higher education, consumer health, humanities, classics, and public health, the Books Division publishes 150 new books each year and maintains a backlist in excess of 3,000 titles.

Taught to read and write so that she can help her mistress run the business, July remains bound to the plantation despite her freedom. It is the arrival of a young English overseer, Robert Goodwin, that will dramatically change life in the great house for both July and her mistress. My son Thomas, who is printing this book, tells me it is customary at this place in a novel to give the reader a little taste of the story that is held within. Together they live through the bloody Baptist war, followed by the violent and chaotic end of slavery. ![]() Resourceful and mischievous, July soon becomes indispensable to her mistress. ![]() Caroline Mortimer, a recently transplanted English widow, decides to move her into the great house and rename her Marguerite. The child of a field slave on the Amity sugar plantation, July lives with her mother until Mrs. Told in the irresistibly willful and intimate voice of Miss July, with some editorial assistance from her son, Thomas, The Long Song is at once defiant, funny, and shocking. With The Long Song, Levy once again reinvents the historical novel. It won both the Orange Prize and the Whitbread Book of the Year Award, and has sold over a million copies worldwide. ![]() Small Island introduced Andrea Levy to America and was acclaimed as a triumph ( San Francisco Chronicle). ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope you enjoy my postings and reviews and share my blog with friends. There will be no advertising since I'm not interested in making money, just sharing. All discussions will be related to books and reading. Here I will post reviews of books I have just finished reading and news items and articles of interest. At the urging of a number of friends, I decided to start a blog. I’ve been a book reviewer for a number of years and have posted hundreds of reviews on both Goodreads and LibraryThing. My focus is contemporary literary fiction (especially Canadian fiction) and mysteries. Schatje’s Shelves is my reading blog devoted primarily to reviews of the books I acquire for my library - a library which has 8,050+ books (print, ebooks, audiobooks) and keeps growing. Now that I'm retired, I have so much more time to read (and to enjoy the library my husband made for me). For 30 years, I was a high school English teacher/teacher-librarian. ![]() |
