Sinossi

August Strindberg's 'On the Seaboard' is a collection of short stories that delve into the complexities of human relationships, delving deep into themes such as loneliness, love, and existential angst. Written in Strindberg's signature realistic yet poetic style, the stories in this book are often filled with vivid imagery and profound insights into the human condition. Set against the backdrop of the Swedish coastline, the stories in 'On the Seaboard' showcase Strindberg's mastery of the short story form and his ability to capture the emotional nuances of his characters. The book is a must-read for those interested in Scandinavian literature and the works of August Strindberg. August Strindberg, a Swedish playwright and novelist, drew inspiration from his own tumultuous personal life and relationships to create deeply introspective and thought-provoking works. 'On the Seaboard' is a prime example of Strindberg's skill as a storyteller and his ability to craft narratives that resonate with readers on a profound level. I highly recommend 'On the Seaboard' to anyone looking for a captivating and insightful read that explores the depths of human emotion and experience.

    VOYAGE TO THE LAST FRONTIER...
    The first book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
    They were transported from 1780s' England, packed like cattle in cargo compartments: scammers and prostitutes, thieves and murderers — doomed to build His Majesty's new colony in Captain Cook's anchorage in Botany Bay.
    It was a cruel fate even for the toughest of individuals but especially for 15-year-old Jenny Taggart, who was sentenced to lifelong exile for a crime she did not commit. Will there be a future for her in this unknown country, or will she succumb to a rough and brutal life?
    Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later — ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy — they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.

Set in Medieval Wales, this trilogy by Romantic Times Award–winning author Rexanne Becnel introduces the FitzHughs, a clan contending with traitorous enemies, political strife, and their own warring hearts in the name of honor, duty, and love.  The Bride of Rosecliffe: Invincible in battle, Randulf FitzHugh journeys to a remote corner of northern Wales to create an English stronghold in the name of King Henry I. But his most formidable adversary is Josselyn ap Carreg Du, a woman ready to marry a barbaric Welsh warlord in order to unite her people against the English invaders—until she’s taken prisoner.  The Knight of Rosecliffe: Vengeance-seeking Welsh beauty Rhonwen ap Tomas must choose between her homeland and her heart when she falls in love with Jasper FitzHugh, an English knight whose life she saved—but whom she’s now sworn to kill.  The Mistress of Rosecliffe: Rogue knight Rhys ap Owain has waited twenty years to avenge his father’s murder and reclaim his stolen birthright. Isolde FitzHugh, the ravishing eldest daughter of his enemy, will be the instrument of his retribution.

But taking in Polish immigrant Rose Dabrowski to raise and love quells those fears--until seventeen-year-old Rose goes missing at the World's Fair, and Sylvie's world unravels. 
     
    Brushed off by the authorities, Sylvie turns to her boarder, Kristof Bartok, for help.

Is Sylvie willing to let the girl go? And as Kristof and Sylvie grow closer, can she reconcile her craving for control with her yearning to belong?

    It is a truth (almost) universally acknowledged that a person interested in good literature must be in want of this book …
