Book Description
Excerpt from Life of John Van Lear McMahon Like his illustrious predecessors and most of his con temporaries, he has 'passed from the active scenes Of the fallible courts Of this earth to the solemn, silent, and unerring tribunal Of the other w.orld Mitchell, Ta ney, Scott, Mayer, Dulaney, Price, Nelson, Chambers, Schley, and Alexander have all gone before him, and, alas many of them are already forgotten, and all neglected. Although the persons and histories Of these men were once as familiar to all classes Of our people as the Changeless mountains that towered above their heads or the rivers that flowed at their feet, yet already the records of their lives have become so faint and indis tinct that the most industrious historian would now be hardly able to rescue them from Oblivion. The graves Of many Of them have not only never received the mel ancholy reward Of a monument, but have even almost been forgotten and lost, and their illustrious names have passed in many cases from the veneration, if not from the memory, of their own descendants.

Book Description
January 1937. Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound London. Twenty-eight year old Jack is poor, lonely and desperate to change his life. So when he's offered the chance to be the wireless operator on an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it. Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five men and eight huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by the light of the midnight sun. At last they reach the remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for the next year. Gruhuken. But the Arctic summer is brief. As night returns to claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease. One by one, his companions are forced to leave. He faces a stark choice. Stay or go. Soon he will see the last of the sun, as the polar night engulfs the camp in months of darkness. Soon he will reach the point of no return - when the sea will freeze, making escape impossible. And Gruhuken is not uninhabited. Jack is not alone. Something walks there in the dark. This Special Edition Ebook will feature exclusive material: AUTHOR EXTRAS: Dark Matter ¿ An exclusive interview with Michelle Paver and an extended author biography with integrated photos of the landscape of Spitsbergen.

Lighthousekeeping
Author: Jeanette Winterson
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 0547541481
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
An orphaned girl is held spellbound by the tales of a lighthouse keeper on the Scottish coast, in a novel by the Costa Award-winning author of The Passion. After her mother is literally swept away by the savage winds off the Atlantic coast of Salts, Scotland, never to be seen again, the orphaned Silver is feeling particularly unmoored. Taken in by the mysterious keeper of a lighthouse on Cape Wrath, Silver finds an anchor in Mr. Pew—blind, as old and legendary as a unicorn, and a yarn spinner of persuasive power. The tale he has to tell Silver is that of a nineteenth-century clergyman named Babel Dark, whose life was divided between a loving light and a mask of deceit. Peopled with such luminaries as Charles Darwin and Robert Louis Stevenson, Mr. Pew’s story within a story within a story soon unfolds like a map. It’s one that Silver must follow if she’s to be led through her own darkness, and to find her own meaning in life, in this novel by a winner of the Costa, Lambda, and E.M. Forster Awards, the author of Oranges are Not the Only Fruit; Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? and other acclaimed works. “In her sea-soaked and hypnotic eighth novel, Winterson turns the tale of an orphaned young girl and a blind old man into a fable about love and the power of storytelling…Atmospheric and elusive, Winterson's high-modernist excursion is an inspired meditation on myth and language.”—The New Yorker
