Описание: Dan Davin was the author of the only substantial body of war fiction written by a New Zealand soldier during any of the wars of the 20th century in which the nation was engaged. The General and the Nightingale brings together Davins 20 war stories, some drawn from his war diaries and loosely based on his experiences as a wartime scholar-soldier and those of his fellow soldiers in the British and New Zealand armies. They yield an unparalleled insight into the Kiwi or Anzac soldier at war during the Mediterranean and African desert campaigns of World War II. Editor Janet Wilson notes they can be read as fictionalised accounts rather than imaginative fictions. Born and raised in a working-class Catholic family in Southland, Davin was a Rhodes Scholar and had recently completed a degree at Oxford when he enlisted in the British Army in 1939. After receiving a commission in 1940 he successfully applied to be transferred to the New Zealand forces. He saw active service in Greece and North Africa, was wounded in Crete, and rose to become General Freybergs intelligence officer in the Italian campaign. The General and the Nightingale updates an earlier collection of Davins war stories published in 1986 as The Salamander in the Fire and long out of print. This new publication features comprehensive notes, a glossary, a chronology, a map of story locations, a bibliography and an extensive introduction by Janet Wilson. It is a companion volume to The Gorse Blooms Pale: Dan Davins Southland short stories (OUP, 2007), which is also being reissued.

Описание:

Sometimes life comes back at you twice as hard and twice as fast as you live it. This is the lesson four young men with successful careers learn as they navigate through life in the South.

Lesane is a high school counselor who runs a small studio for local music talent. He once thought he could swear off love, but he learns the hard way he is sorely mistaken.

Scooter is an athletic coach whose little black book is as deep as a phone directory. He runs through women like he puts his students through practice drills.

Will is a basketball star in New Orleans. Everyone said he was too small, but no one could deny his skills. He and Janet - who proclaim themselves "just friends" - have a little boy. You can count on Will to be super dad during the off-season.

Ray is a DJ for a local radio station. Despite being surrounded by women, he finds it hard to stay connected. He's either trying too hard or just doesn't have game.

Join these four friends as they navigate life's ups and downs, wins and losses. Each encounter teaches them something about themselves, life, and love along the way.
