Histories - Sam Guglani - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

''Remarkable and full of grace. It broke my heart'' Sarah Perry ''Guglani is the real deal'' Michel Faber ''Profound . . . Poetic . . . Humane'' Gabriel Weston ''Shows rare skill . . . Power and fear and morality'' Sarah Moss, author of The Tidal Zone Histories is a hypnotic portrait of life in one hospital, over one week. In the corridors and consulting rooms, by the bedside, through the open curtain, we witness charged encounters within the emotional and physical world of medicine. Old insecurities surface as junior doctors try to save a man from dying; an enraged chaplain picks a fight with a consultant; a porter waxes lyrical on his invisibility. These are only some of the stories that so seamlessly connect, collide and create an unforgettable panorama of being. Sam Guglani''s vivid prose has the raw intensity of poetry that pulls the reader in on every page.

The Fighting Temeraire - Sam Willis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Fighting Temeraire - Sam Willis - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

J.M.W. Turner''s The Fighting Temeraire Tugged to her Last Berth to be Broken Up (1838) was his masterpiece. Sam Willis tells the real-life story behind this remarkable painting. The 98-gun Temeraire warship broke through the French and Spanish line directly astern of Nelson''s flagship Victory during the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), saving Nelson at a crucial moment in the battle, and, in the words of John Ruskin, fought until her sides ran ''wet with the long runlets of English blood...those pale masts that stayed themselves up against the war-ruin, shaking out their ensigns through the thunder, till sail and ensign dropped.'' It is a story that unites the art of war as practised by Nelson with the art of war as depicted by Turner and, as such, it ranges across an extensive period of Britain''s cultural and military history in ways that other stories do not. The result is a detailed picture of British maritime power at two of its most significant peaks in the age of sail: the climaxes of both the Seven Years'' War (1756-63) and the Napoleonic Wars (1798-1815). It covers every aspect of life in the sailing navy, with particular emphasis on amphibious warfare, disease, victualling, blockade, mutiny and, of course, fleet battle, for it was at Trafalgar that the Temeraire really won her fame. An evocative and magnificent narrative history by a master historian.
