A Broken World
A lieutenant writes of digging through bodies that have the consistency of Camembert cheese; a mother sends flower seeds to her son at the Front, hoping that one day someone may see them grow; a nurse tends a man back to health knowing he will be court-martialled and shot as soon as he is fit. Edited by the bestselling author of Birdsong and Dr Hope Wolf, this is an original and illuminating non-fiction anthology of writing on the First World War. Diaries, letters and memories, testaments from ordinary people whose lives were transformed, are set alongside extracts from names that have become synonymous with the war, such as Siegfried Sassoon and T.E. Lawrence. A Broken World is an original collection of personal and defining moments that offer an unprecedented insight into the Great War as it was experienced and as it was remembered.
Shelley's Broken World
Shelley's Broken World is a provocative and profound reassessment of Shelley's poetic art and thought. Bysshe Inigo Coffey returns to a peculiarity of Shelley's expressive repertoire first noticed by his Victorian readers and editors: his innovatory use of pauses, which registered as irregularities in ears untuned to his innovations. But his pauses are more than a quirk; various intermittences are at the centre of Shelley's artistry and his thought. This book aims to transform the philosophical, scientific, and aesthetic contexts in which Shelley is positioned. It offers a ground-breaking analysis of his reading, and is the first study to refer to and include images of the unpublished 'Marlow List', a record of the books Shelley left behind him on his departure for Italy in 1818. Shelley's prosody grew to articulate his sense that actuality is experienced as ruptured and fractured with gaps and limit-points. He shows us the weakness of the actual. As we approach the bicentenary of the poet's death, Shelley's Broken World provides an exciting new beginning for the study of a major Romantic poet, the history of materialism, and prosody.
Calling the Blood
There’s no escape from death when you’re a Valkyrie. After a long, fraught journey, Frankie landed safe with her family, but her challenges are just beginning. Constant training is taking a toll, and a quick trip to find a lost Valkyrie might be the confidence-booster she needs. The mission turns out to be anything but simple. The missing Valkyrie is being guarded by Draugr, Hel’s zombie soldiers. Frankie rescues her, but waiting at home is Freyja with even more bad news. The last remaining Valkyries are being hunted, and it’s up to Frankie to save them. She might be destined to lead the new generation of Valkyries into battle, but when more and more turn up dead, she wonders how her enemies know their every move. If she can’t even protect the people she loves, how can she defeat the gods and prevent Ragnarök?
The Lost Child
The gates are finally open, but I’m not ready for what waits on the other side… There’s nothing quite like waking up naked, alone, and on fire. But at least I woke up. It’s not every day a person gets to survive being stabbed by their boyfriend and his magic sword – not a euphemism. The gates are open. My work is done, right? Enter Florence, stage left, to remind me that her aid came with a price. And the bill has come due. It’s time to walk through a gate and find my friend’s abducted sister. To do it, I’ll need to find my fae birth family. My only hope is that they’re slightly less heinous than the half-elf who betrayed me. Finding Florence’s sister isn’t as straightforward as I’d hoped. The intrigue in the royal court rivals anything I’ve seen on a soap opera. I hadn’t expected to be welcomed with open arms, but a couple moments of appreciation for the world breaker might’ve been nice. Let me tell you, attempted murder is a craptastic reward...

To Repair a Broken World
The authoritative biography of Henrietta Szold, founder of Hadassah, introduces a new generation to a remarkable leader who fought for women’s rights and the poor.
