Beschreibung

Elizabeth Gaskell's 'The Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)' is a comprehensive collection that showcases the remarkable literary talent of a Victorian-era female writer. Gaskell's works often explore social issues, class differences, and the plight of women in society, depicted through vivid characters and engaging plotlines. Her writing style is characterized by its deep emotional resonance, nuanced character development, and insightful social commentary. This collection includes popular novels like 'North and South' and 'Cranford,' as well as shorter works and novellas that highlight Gaskell's versatility as a writer. Gaskell's works are essential reading for those interested in Victorian literature, feminist perspectives, and the social issues of the 19th century. Elizabeth Gaskell, a contemporary of Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte, drew inspiration from her own experiences as a minister's wife and keen observer of society. Her background in social activism and philanthropy informs her writing, as she sheds light on the struggles of the working class and marginalized groups. Gaskell's empathetic approach to storytelling and keen insight into human nature have secured her a place in the literary canon. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Elizabeth Gaskell (Illustrated)' to readers who appreciate classic literature, feminist themes, and engrossing storytelling. Gaskell's timeless tales continue to resonate with readers today, offering valuable insights into the complexities of human relationships and societal norms.

    Listen to Chancellorsville and Gettysburg with a movie-style soundtrack and amplify your audiobook experience. 
    Abner Doubleday began the Civil War as a Union officer and aimed the first cannon shot in response to the bombardment opened on Ft. Sumter in 1861. Two years later, after a series of battles (including Antietam, where he was wounded), Doubleday took over a division in the Army of the Potomac's 1st Corps. These are his memoirs of service in two of the War's great campaigns. At Chancellorsville, a very promising start made by General Hooker against Lee's Confederate forces fell to a defeat when, in Doubleday's estimation, normal and prudent precautions against surprise in the heavily-wooded battlefield were not carried out; he also seemingly apologizes for Hooker's lack of leadership during the battle as a result of his having been stunned by a cannon ball hitting the post against which he was leaning.

    Sandy Hook Elementary School 
     
    Newtown, Connecticut 
     
    We remember the numbers: 20 children and 6 adults, murdered in a place of nurture and trust. We remember the names: teachers like Victoria Soto, who lost her life protecting her students. A shooter named Adam Lanza. And we remember the questions: outraged conjecture instantly monopolized the worldwide response to the tragedy, while the truth went missing. 
     
    Here is the definitive journalistic account of Newtown, an essential examination of the facts—not only of that horrific day but the perfect storm of mental instability and obsession that preceded it and, in the aftermath of unspeakable heartbreak, the controversy that continues to play out on the national stage. Drawn from previously undisclosed emails, police reports, and in-depth interviews, Newtown: An American Tragedy breaks through a miasma of misinformation with its comprehensive and astonishing portrayal.  
    This is the vital story that must be told today if we are to prevent another American tragedy in the days to come.

    For most of his life, Josh Wilker has been on the sidelines. Spending his days in a cubicle in the far reaches of Chicago, and his nights in front of Red Sox games, he has been content to let others take center stage. From childhood onward, he sought comfort from anxiety and depression in the archival pages of sports almanacs and stat sheets: a place where forgotten players lingered, and time seemed to stop - a welcome relief from worldly problems. He found joy in the trivia of long-lost athletes, like the former NFL player Walter 'Sneeze' Achiu. But when his first child was born in 2011, Wilker found his anxieties put to the test: how do you remain on the sidelines when a tender, fragile baby needs everything from you?
