The Wilder Shores of Love
Originally published in 1954, The Wilder Shores of Love is the classic biography of four nineteenth-century European women who leave behind the industrialized west for Arabia in search of romance and fulfillment. Hailed by The Daily Telegraph as "enthralling to read," Lesley Blanch’s first book tells the story of Isabel Burton, the wife and traveling companion of the explorer Richard Burton; Jane Digby, who exchanged European society for an adventure in loving; Aimée Dubucq de Rivery, a Frenchwoman captured by pirates who became a member of the Turkish sultan’s harem; and Isabelle Eberhardt, a Swiss woman who dressed as a man and lived among the Arabs of Algeria.

A is for Alex: A Bereaved Mother's Promise to Her Beloved Son
When a police officer knocked on Lesley Roberts' door on 25 November 2017, her life changed forever. She learned that her eldest son Alex had died by suicide - and she would soon receive an email explaining why. Since then, Lesley has spent years learning to live alongside her grief. Her memoir captures the trauma of losing a child, but also shows how she has moved forward and begun to learn to live with her pain, while trying to help others find light in the dark. Lesley Roberts' book draws attention to the not-so-common reason that led her son to end his own life, as well as the ever-increasing number of suicides happening in the UK and North America. The truth is, any parent could be in Lesley's situation, and any man could be in Alex's - and for this reason, this book is an important read. It serves as a guide for parents and those who support them in the wake of their child's death. But it also sheds light on Alex's story and can make other men in the same situation feel less alone.
Laughter and War
War is no laughing matter. During a war, however, laughter can play a vital role in sustaining morale, both in the armies at the Front and in their homelands. Among wars, the 1914–18 conflict has left a haunting legacy, and remains a central topic in modern European history. This book offers a comparative study of the impact of the war in four countries, and breaks new ground by exploring this through the medium of what their respective populations laughed at. By searching the pages of four humorous-satirical magazines, Punch in the UK, Le Rire (France), Simplicissimus (Germany), and Novy Satirikon (Russia), all of which supported the national war efforts, it examines the ways in which hum...
