Midnight's Anguish
In the darkest hours, where the night's veil descends and the mind's labyrinthine thoughts take hold, this poetry collection emerges as a beacon of solace. With each verse, we embark on a journey through the complex terrain of early adulthood, where confusion and chaos reign. Through the delicate art of language, the poet navigates the tumultuous waves of distress, using words as lifeboats to reach the shores of understanding. These verses are the profound culmination of emotions and thoughts, woven together in the quiet stillness of midnight. With every line, the poet reveals that each life phase is a unique odyssey, a new iteration of Hiraeth—a longing for the intangible. This collection encourages us not to discard our emotions but to cradle them tenderly, recognizing that vulnerability is the essence of our human experience.
The Other Battle of the Bulge: Operation Northwind
Operation Northwind was the little-known second Battle of the Bulge, which cost the Americans and their French comrades-in-arms nearly as many casualties and almost detroyed the Alliance. It was planned by the Fuhrer himself, which hurled eight German divisions, three of them SS, against the thinly-held American line in the Alsace-Lorraine region. Although the US High Command was forewarned by 'Ultra' from Bletchley, the German pressure was just too much. The Americans were forced to retreat. For the first time during the campaign in the West, Eisenhower ordered his troops to give up ground paid for by so many lives and commanding that Stratbourg, which held a special place in both French and German hearts, should be evacuated. This sparked off a row which threatened to destroy the Franco-American Alliance and throw France into a dramatic revolution. Quick moving and action-packed, this book sees the events through the eyes of the soldiers who were 'at the sharp end', and fills a major gap in the history of World War II.
Rewriting Womanhood
In Rewriting Womanhood, Nancy LaGreca explores the subversive refigurings of womanhood in three novels by women writers: La hija del bandido (1887) by Refugio Barragán de Toscano (Mexico; 1846–1916), Blanca Sol (1888) by Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (Peru; 1845–1909), and Luz y sombra (1903) by Ana Roqué (Puerto Rico; 1853–1933). While these women were both acclaimed and critiqued in their day, they have been largely overlooked by contemporary mainstream criticism. Detailed enough for experts yet accessible to undergraduates, graduate students, and the general reader, Rewriting Womanhood provides ample historical context for understanding the key women’s issues of nineteenth-centu...
