The Killing Snows

Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
This book is fiction. The story that inspired it was not. In 1990, a box of very old documents was found on a small farm in the west of Ireland. They had been stored for well over a hundred years and told an incredible story of suffering, of love and of courage. In 1846, a young couple met during the worst days of the Great Irish Famine. The Killing Snows is a way to imagine what led to their meeting and what followed from it.

Prince Philip
Author: INGRID. SEWARD
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781471183522
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
For more than 70 years, Prince Philip has been the Queen's constant companion and support, but his vital role in the monarchy has too often gone largely unnoticed. Now, in Ingrid Seward's superb new biography of the Duke of Edinburgh, we get the chance to read the full story of his remarkable life and achievements. Born into the Greek and Danish royal families in 1921, a descendant of Queen Victoria, Prince Philip's aristocratic credentials were second to none. But, only 18 months after his birth, the family had to be rescued by a British warship from the island of Corfu after his father was exiled. His nomadic childhood was spent in Germany, Paris and eventually England where he was sent to boarding school. At the age of 18, while studying at Dartmouth Naval College, he was asked to look after the King's two daughters, 13-year-old Elizabeth and her sister Margaret, during a royal visit. It was their first proper meeting and, only eight years later, their marriage in 1947 brought new light to the country after the perils of the war. But, within a few years, their lives were transformed when in 1952 she became Queen Elizabeth II, and he had to give up his naval career and learn a new role as consort, deferring in public to the monarch and even having to give up his surname. In Ingrid Seward's brilliant new biography, we see how such a man of action coped with having to spend the next seventy years of his life walking two steps behind his wife. His reaction was to create a role for himself, modernising the monarchy, campaigning to protect the environment, supporting the sciences and engineering, and inspiring the young through the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. But, above all, he proved himself to be the Queen's most valuable and loyal companion throughout her long reign. The TV series The Crown has helped bring Prince Philip to the centre of attention, but this superb biography not only examines the major influences on his life but is packed with revealing behind-the-scenes details and great insight. This first major biography of Prince Philip for almost 30 years shines new light on his complex character and extraordinary career.

The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë
Author: Charlotte Brontë
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 3737
Book Description
In 'The Complete Works: Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick & Branwell Brontë,' readers are presented with a breathtaking panorama of nineteenth-century literary artistry. This collection transcends mere anthology, weaving together the distinct yet harmoniously interconnected oeuvres of the Brontë family. With a range that spans from the windswept moors of 'Wuthering Heights' to the subdued, fiery passions of 'Jane Eyre,' and the less traversed but equally compelling works of Anne and Patrick Brontë, alongside Branwell's artistic contributions, the anthology showcases a remarkable diversity of style and theme. Such an assembly underlines the profound impact these authors have had on English literature and the Gothic Romantic genre in particular. The second paragraph delves into the unique literary heritage of the Brontë siblings, shaped amidst the isolation of the Yorkshire moors. Their writings, a product of intense creativity and intellectual discourse within their secluded home, emerged against a backdrop of Victorian constraints and personal tragedies. This collection, therefore, does not merely collate texts; it maps the convergence of individual genius with shared familial and historical influences, underscoring the Brontës' collective role in championing new literary forms and depths of psychological insight. For enthusiasts and scholars alike, 'The Complete Works' offers a singular opportunity to engage with the full spectrum of Brontë genius. It invites a deep, comparative appreciation of how these authors' contrasting approaches to narrative, character, and theme reflect the complexity of human experience. This anthology is not just a comprehensive collection; it is an invitation to explore the rich dialogues between the works of Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Patrick, and Branwell Brontë, fostering a deeper understanding of their individual and collective literary achievements.
