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:

Born in Bangladesh, Shukdeb Sen lived for a while in India before emigrating to the USA, where he enjoyed a long and successful career in teaching, research, and mentoring undergraduate students at several colleges and universities in the southern states. During his career in education he published many research articles in scientific journals and published his first non-fiction book Black Education in White America in 2018.

Flower Still Blooms, his first published work of fiction, is a collection of short stories written over a fifteen-year period. The stories describe many aspects of the human experience. Magda describes how a Budapest prostitute's life is changed by kindness and compassion shown by a stranger; a chance encounter on the train reveals one man's horrific experiences in Dachau concentration camp.

Flower Still Blooms is a collection of stories that can move you to tears of both despair and joy, a wonderful fiction debut for Shukdeb Sen.
