Amidst Africa's myriad wildlife highlights, Savute must rank as one of the most spectacularly enigmatic: a river that rarely flows, a marsh that metamorphoses from wasteland to watery paradise and, towering over them both, a silent parade of prehistoric hills. Within these habitats lies a complex web of wildlife whose fascinating tales are vividly brought to life in this book - a stunning visual journey that will delight, astonish and inform.

This beautifully illustrated story is an adaptation of the Welsh legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod, the lost area of Wales which disappeared beneath the sea. This drowned land was once a pleasant and prosperous kingdom, its low-lying fields protected from the waves by a high sea wall.

As clouds and ravens gather overhead, she must race to save her friends and the kingdom before it's too late...

Imre is one of the first openly gay American novels with a happy ending. Described by the author as ""a little psychological romance,"" the narrative follows two men who meet by chance in a cafe; in Budapest, where they forge a friendship that leads to a series of mutual revelations and gradual disclosures. With its sympathetic characterizations of homosexual men, Imre's 1906 publication marked a turning point in English literature.

Excerpt from book: SAINT BERNARD OF CLAIRVAUX. Delivered before the Morningside Literary Institute February 1875. Ladies and Gentlemen, I invite you to-night, to go back with me 750 years, and to spend an hour in endeavouring to estimate the character and to sympathise with the feelings and actions f of probably the greatest mind of the twelfth / century, and certainly one of the greatest minds of all time. Back 750 years It carries us to the central period of the middle ages ? to the very depths of what we somewhat superciliously call the Dark Ages, ofttimes forgetting that these centuries which now seem lost in the shadows of the past, had once lights all their own; that each, as it flitted over earth, showed a varied illumination, ?now ruddy with the lurid glare of passion and of war, with which, alas, our own country is only too familiar, ? and now pale yet piercing with Scholastic refinements and subtilties which our own age cannot equal alfid can scarcely understand. The middle ages What strange scenes and pictures do not the words recall ? The fortalice of the half savage Baron and the mean huts of his degraded serfs. The proud pomp and spiritual power of the haughty churchman, before which the strength of kings, and the might of feudalism was fain to kneel. The chivalry of Europe drained time after time to furnish forth the armies of the Crusaders. Religious excitements and revivals passing like prairie fires over Europe, and compared with which modern revivals, even the wildest, seem but the coldest marsh gleams. Strange and terrible diseases and epidemics, and plagues both bodily and mental, that mowed down millions as with the scythe of destruction. The spotted plague and the black death and the sweating sickness. The dancing mania, the barkingmania. The werewolf and the...

Edward Taylor Fletcher was a nineteenth-century literary figure almost completely forgotten by history. Poet, travel writer, essayist, surveyor, philologist, and translator, Fletcher shared many characteristics with the great literary figures of the time. Yet his writing represents a significant departure from his contemporaries and a close reading of his work reshapes our understanding of the Canadian long poem and the cultural values of Canadian poetry. Fletcher spoke English, French, German, Italian, and other modern languages fluently and he studied or translated literary works in Icelandic, Finnish, Polish, Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Sanskrit (among several others). His poetry interweaves Canadian landscapes with modern and ancient traditions of the East and West and integrates allusions and innovations from several different literary traditions including the Kalavela, the Mahabharata, and the Poetic Edda. By recuperating Fletcher's nineteenth century works, James Gifford uncovers a unique Canadian literary voice who explored content, style, and concerns unlike the popular colonial narratives of his time.

Gifford's invigorating work of metacriticism and literary history recovers the significance of the "lost generation" of writers of the 1930s and 1940s. He examines how the Personalism of anarcho-anti-authoritarian contemporaries such as Alex Comfort, Robert Duncan, Lawrence Durrell, J.F. Hendry, Henry Miller, Elizabeth Smart, Dylan Thomas, and Henry Treece forges a missing link between Late Modernist and postmodernist literature. He concludes by applying his recontextualization to four familiar texts by Miller, Durrell, Smart, and Duncan, and encourages readers to re-engage the lost generation using this new critical lens. Scholars and students of literary modernism, twentieth-century Canadian literature, and anarchism will find a productive vision of this neglected period within Personal Modernisms.
