Paul Ferroll - Caroline Clive - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ferroll - Caroline Clive - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

Paul Ferroll (1855) is a novel by Caroline Clive. Published to widespread critical and commercial acclaim, Paul Ferroll gained comparisons to Jane Eyre and predated the rise of popular detective fiction, but has since been largely forgotten. A captivating novel of Victorian social conventions with elements of Gothic horror, Paul Ferroll is an underrecognized work of literature that remains both entertaining and ultimately open ended. Paul Ferroll, a respected English magistrate, lives with his loving wife and young daughter at their comfortable country estate. When Ferroll’s wife is found murdered in her bed, the family’s idyllic image is disrupted forever. Although a servant is quickly arrested for the crime, a lack of evidence leads to his subsequent acquittal, raising questions about Ferroll’s increasingly reclusive behavior. Despite remarrying, Ferroll clearly harbors a dark secret. He turns away from friends and neighbors, forcing his daughter to raise herself. While an outbreak of cholera devastates the local village, Ferroll, a formerly generous public servant, turns a blind eye to their suffering. As acquaintances speculate, unsure if Ferroll remains in mourning or if his change of heart signals something much darker, his home becomes haunted with ghosts of the living. Building slowly toward its unbearable conclusion, Paul Ferroll investigates the motives that lead to murder, illuminating the condition of the male psyche with expert precision. This edition of Caroline Clive’s Paul Ferroll is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers. Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812-1818) is a book length poem by British Romantic Lord Byron. Published in cantos, the narrative poem is arranged in four parts, each following the journey of Harold, a character based on Byron himself. Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage established Byron’s reputation as a leading poet of his era, laying the foundation for many of the elements of Romantic poetry—melancholy, sublime and beautiful landscapes, a wandering hero—that would inspire generations of writers, artists, and musicians to come. Harold, a young and deeply unsatisfied man, wanders across a Europe divided by war. In Spain and Portugal, he observes the horrible aftermath of French occupation. While in Greece, though inspired by its classical architecture and immense beauty, he is overcome with grief by the daily realities of life under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Harold makes his way to Belgium, where he visits the battlefield at Waterloo before departing for Switzerland by way of the Rhine. Toward the end of his pilgrimage, Harold travels from Venice throughout Italy, observing its natural wonders and musing on its storied history. Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage —part fictional narrative, part autobiography—is a moving map of a young man’s mind and a continent’s historical experience. It is both a record of Romanticism’s influence on literature and psychology and a testament to the profound influence of trauma and conflict on the individuals and cultures of nineteenth century Europe. This edition of Lord Byron’s Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage is a classic of English literature and Romanticism reimagined for modern readers. Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

The Jacket - Jack London - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Jacket - Jack London - Bog - Mint Editions - Plusbog.dk

The Jacket (1915) is a novel by American writer Jack London. A groundbreaking work of science fiction that blends elements of mysticism, The Jacket critiques the harsh reality of the American criminal justice system. The novel was inspired by the experiences of Ed Morrell, a man who spent time at San Quentin State Prison for robbing trains. Horrified by his description of “the jacket,” a constricting device used to punish inmates, London wrote the novel to explore the psychological effects of torture. Darrell Standing was a Professor of Agronomics at the University of California, Berkeley when, in a fit of uncontrollable rage, he murdered a fellow professor in cold blood. Sentenced to life imprisonment at San Quentin, Standing is sent to solitary confinement after refusing to provide a false confession for a suspected escape plot. In the silence and darkness of solitary—between grueling sessions of torture by way of a constricting jacket—Standing learns to communicate through tapping with the man in the next cell over, who gives him hope and ignites his desire to free himself. Gifted with a rich imagination since his youth, Standing miraculously discovers the power of star roving, the ability to transport oneself throughout time and space using only one’s mind. As his torturers subject him to harsher and more prolonged methods of punishment, he embarks on adventures through past lives to free himself from the misery of the present. The Jacket is an inventive work of science fiction that serves as a powerful critique of torture and sheds light on the depravities of the American criminal justice system. This edition of Jack London’s The Jacket is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.
