Описание: Returning home to tend her widowed father Dr Marjoribanks, Lucilla soon launches herself into Carlingford society, aiming to raise the tone with her select Thursday evening parties. Optimistic, resourceful and blithely unimpeded by self-doubt, Lucilla is a superior being in every way, not least in relation to men.
Follow Ernest Hemingway's exploits on the Bahamian island of Bimini from 1935 to 1937, the very moment in time when the International Game Fish Association (under the author's co-leadership) was emerging. Covers Hemingway's role in the formation of the IGFA, his underappreciated seminal writing about competitive saltwater angling when the sport was still in its infancy, the amazing fishing he enjoyed on the island, and the way all of these experiences translated into the composition of his posthumous novel Islands in the Stream.
This is the only book on this period in Hemingway's life and reveals unexpected dimensions to the Hemingway portrait that deserve attention, including his surprising humor, his advanced conservationist views several decades before the environmental movement even began, and his egalitarian ideas about his contemporary female counterparts in the big-game fishing world--challenging the usual portrait of Hemingway as a chauvinist with no personal rules, boundaries, or conscience. Includes beautiful vintage photographs of 1930s Bimini that have never been published in book form.

Описание: Margaret Oliphant (1828-97) was a Scottish novelist and historical writer who usually wrote as Mrs Oliphant. Her fictional works encompass domestic realism, the historical novel and tales of the supernatural. Following the publication of her first two novels in 1849 and 1851 she met with William Blackwood who invited her to contribute to Blackwood's Magazine, resulting in a connection which lasted throughout her lifetime during which she contributed well over 100 articles. After the death of her husband she was left almost entirely without resources and supported her children through her literary work, becoming a prolific and successful author, although her home life was dogged by sorrow and disappointment with all her children predeceasing her. This collection of three supernatural stories was first published in 1888.
