Echoes of the Constellations
Dajana and John Ambury, [2026-02-14 11:14 PM]The Song has awakened.Now it demands a reckoning.What began as a whisper beneath stone and sky has become something far greater - a living force threading through Dunbrae Manor, the Highlands, and the hearts of those bound to it. The past is no longer memory. It is present. It is rising.As Lyra steps fully into her inheritance, the fragile harmony her family fought to restore begins to fracture under the weight of truth long buried. The Song of First Light was never meant to be contained - and every echo carries both promise and cost.To protect what has been built, they must confront what was left unfinished. To preserve the light, they must risk stepping into the dark.In this powerful conclusion to the Constellations Trilogy, destiny tightens, generations converge, and the music that binds them all will either complete its harmony... or unravel everything.
Talk of the Devil
A fascinating collection of rarely seen journalism and other writings by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series.Ian Fleming was best known for bringing to life the legendary character of James Bond, one of the most beloved and enduring icons of our time, but he was perhaps even more interesting than his creation. His career in Naval Intelligence and extensive travels around the world gave Fleming a keen eye and the authority to write on a wide range of topics beyond Bond's adventures. This collection contains a selection of journalism and other writings by Fleming, covering his wartime experiences, reflections on crime and espionage, and the process of writing his novels, among other topics. Readers will feel like they are right beside Fleming, immersed in his world as he works to meet the deadline for his next Bond novel, or participates in a mortifying golf tournament, or befriends an octopus in his beloved Jamaica. A black-and-white photo insert gives dimension to the man behind the myth, bringing life to his words and providing a unique glimpse into Fleming's world.
The Wax Persona
The Wax Personaby Yury Tynyanov. Translated by Colin BearneThis book is not an easy read, in whatever language, for those unaquainted with Russian history from the time of Peter the Great, and this book is aimed precisely at Russian intellectuals who do know at least a version of this history.The literary grouping of the 1920s and 1930s, to which Tynyanov loosely adhered, Russian Formalism, did produce some unfamiliar kinds of text of which The Wax Persona is representative. It is a somewhat disconnected narrative consisting more of a set of tableaux with echoes of grotesquerie and ornamentalism.Objects have immense importance in the tale and in particular tactile and sensory reactions to them. The use of archaisms reflects the fact that words themselves for this writer carry an associative and iconic loading.In some ways this is almost the screenplay for a film that was never made and this explains many of the visual techniques used.This translation is offered as an attempt to introduce a non-Russian readership to one of Tynyanov's undeservedly lesser known works.
Popular Tales From the Norse
This collection presents a wide-ranging anthology of Scandinavian folk narratives gathered by George Webbe Dasent, showcasing the rich storytelling traditions that flourished across the Norse world. Drawing on material reminiscent of the Grimm Brothers and other foundational folklore collectors, it features tales filled with giants, trolls, witches, enchanted tasks, and talking animals. Dasent's extensive introduction situates recurring motifs within the beliefs and cultural patterns of pre-Christian Norse societies, offering valuable context for understanding how these stories functioned within their historical milieu. The volume balances scholarly insight-complete with detailed notes-with accessible, engaging prose in the tales themselves, making it suitable for both academic readers and general audiences. An added appendix of West Indian Anansi stories broadens the collection's comparative scope. Together, these narratives illuminate the imaginative landscape of Scandinavian folklore and the enduring power of traditional storytelling.
Conversation in the Mountains
"I am supposed to tell you some of the words I heard deep down in the sea where there is much silence and so much happens." So begins the first text in this indispensable volume, which includes: "Edgar Jen矇 and the Dream about the Dream," "Backlight," "The Meridian," and the piece which Celan himself deemed his most important, "Conversation in the Mountains." George Steiner wrote in The New Yorker that Celan's prose was "transforming the landscape of poetic theory and of the philosophy of language." This collection of essays, speeches, letters, as well as notes on Alexander Blok and Osip Mandelstam is a great gift to readers and to anyone who wishes to understand the twentieth century. As the philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer wrote, "Paul Celan's poems reach us, but we miss them." Perhaps through these rare prose texts we may find the key to what we missed.

Outcast
The story of how one misunderstood disease became the global blueprint for stigma and ostracization Outcast: A History of Leprosy, Humanity and the Modern World reveals leprosy as the world's foundational stigma, underlying the colonialism, exclusion, and exploitation that has shaped contemporary life. After hearing leprosy being used as an anti-immigration dog whistle, Oliver Basciano began a journey into the past, uncovering how this ancient disease has been weaponized, used to justify forced exile and social ostracism around the world. Traveling from the last leprosarium in Europe to remote villages in Mozambique, from Siberian settlements to Brazil's hinterlands, Basciano builds a history that centers the voices of patients and those forced into the colony system. Along the way, he finds communities formed in exile, patient activism, and the persistent human capacity for joy. In this pulsating, compassionate book, the trope of medieval suffering is transformed into a bitingly relevant study of hope and solidarity.

The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: One-Volume Compact - Second Edition
The Valiant Black Man in Flanders / El Valiente Negro En Flandes
A play about defiance of systemic racism. Juan de M矇rida, an Afro-Spanish soldier aspires to social advancement in the Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War (1566-1648). His main enemies are not Dutch rebels but his white countrymen, whom he defeats at every attempt to humiliate him. In this play one encounters military culture, upward mobility, mistaken identities, defying destiny, royal pageantry, swordfights, cross-dressing, revenge, homosexual anxiety, and inter-racial marriage. Andr矇s de Claramonte's El valiente negro en Flandes (c.1625) is an Afrodiasporic play that enjoyed great success and multiple stagings in Spain and in Latin America. Its 1938 negrista performance in Havana, Cuba, and Frantz Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks, attest to the power of this play to illuminate contemporary racial dynamics.This is the first annotated, critical edition and English translation of El valiente negro en Flandes with a comprehensive introduction, three critical essays, the critical apparatus comparing the eleven extant versions of the play, and an appendix with alternative scenes and related historical documents. A tool for scholars of early modern European literature and a pedagogical aid to discuss the early discourses on Blackness in Spain and its trans-Atlantic empire.

The Ginger Man Letters

This unique collection is richly illustrated with period photos and facsimiles of letters and pages from the first draft of what became The Ginger Man.The Ginger Man Letters is essential reading for fans of the author and his masterpiece, as well as literary scholars and those interested in bohemian Dublin days and is sure to attract a new generation of readers.
Katherine Mansfield, Illness and Death
During Katherine Mansfield's life she experienced the effects of abortion, miscarriage, gonorrhoea, peritonitis, rheumatism and tuberculosis, and would take up a peripatetic existence constantly in search of more favourable climates. The First World War of 1914-1918 and the influenza pandemic of 1918-20 informed the zeitgeist of her times. This volume of essays explores the extent to which this resonant context of disease and death shaped Mansfield's literary output and her modes of thinking. Illness both stimulated and limited Mansfield's creativity - she would write to fund her medical care while simultaneously limited by her poor health, writing in 1922: 'The real point is I shall have to make as much money as I can on my next book - my path is so dotted with doctors'. As explored in this volume, her personal writings document the increasing influence of tubercular literary predecessors such as Anton Chekhov and John Keats, while her stories function compellingly as dialogue with loved ones who have been lost - her brother, her mother, her grandmother - endowing them with life in the process.
The Complete Scottish Sketches of R.B. Cunninghame Graham
Cunninghame Graham was a famous and hugely influential figure in late 19th and early 20th century Scottish politics and literature. He published 34 books during his lifetime, equally divided between histories (mostly of South America), and anthologies of his impressionistic sketches of South America, Morocco, and Scotland, the large majority of which had been published previously in literary magazines between 1896 and 1933. For the first time, the editors have compiled his entire Scottish oeuvre chronologically, into one volume, and set them in their historical and social contexts, which explores and contextualises the works themselves, and traces Graham's development as a much-admired literary artist and social documentarist. One of the editors is a Cunninghame Graham family member, and the family historian, who has provided insights and peculiar details, unavailable to previous biographers, which hopefully provides added depth and understanding to Graham's works.
The Ecology of Italian Science Fiction
The Ecology of Italian Science Fiction investigates the representation of ecological issues in Italian science fiction and film from the 1950s to the present. Taking into account a previously understudied corpus, the book reveals how Italian science fiction has consistently been able to conceptualize and dramatize the impact of human activities on the health of planetary ecosystems and addresses the radical environmental changes that have occurred in the country since the Second World War.Moving from current debates on the environmental humanities and on the cultural status of speculative fiction, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the evolution of the genre in Italy in relationship to the country's environmental history. The book highlights the ways in which Italian science fiction represents non-human agencies - animal, vegetal, mineral - and how the recent Solarpunk movement imagines new synergies with the environment. Drawing on notable works ranging from Lino Aldani to Gilda Musa, from Francesco Verso to Paolo Zardi, from Nicoletta Vallorani to Laura Pugno, The Ecology of Italian Science Fiction covers topics as diverse as the evolution of petroculture in Italy, environmental justice and migrations, encounters with animal and vegetal alterity, ecofeminist stances, and new dreams of sustainability.
