'M. le Goffic's book entitled Les Marais de Saint-Gond deals with the six days' fighting which immediately succeeded the arrest of the French retreat, when the French soldiers were at last allowed to turn around and fight the all-conquering Germans, before whom, for strategic as well as for more obvious reasons, they had been forced to retreat during many bitter days and nights. … An outstanding feature of the Battle of the Marne was General Foch's masterly handling of the Ninth Army. … When General Joffre formed part of his reserves into a new army, the Ninth, he gave the command of it to Foch, whose merits he had been quick to recognise - that "short, quick-moving, clear-glanced soldier" of the grey-blue eyes, who was also a scientist and philosopher. Already master of the science of war, he was able to translate the strategy of the text-book into achievement on the battlefield.' - Translator's preface. ., (London: J. M.

It saw the end of a century, a reign, a way of life and was in many respects the curtain-raiser to the twentieth century, providing a foretaste of what have become all too familiar horrors over the last hundred years: the mass involvement of civilian populations in war; concentration camps, and guerilla warfare. It is now a hundred years since the outbreak of the war and we commemorate with A Century of Anglo-Boer War Stories - an anthology of stories and poetry written by Afrikaners, Englishmen and also black South Africans, who explore the trauma of the time and place from their own varied perspectives. They probe fascinating aspects of human resilience as revealed in time of war and are diverse, entertaining and moving. But above all, the stories have been selected for the quality of the writing. Amongst others, there are texts by renowned authors: Herman Charles Bosman; Stuart Cloete; Thomas Hardy; Elsa Joubert; Rudyard Kipling; C Louis Leipoldt; Eugène Marais; Sol Plaatje; Karel Schoeman; AHM Scholtz; Olive Schreiner." ., (Johannesburg: Jonathan Ball Publishers, 1999) 1868420930, 0, Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin Company.

Jim Harrison (1937 – 2016) was an American poet, novelist, and essayist. He was a prolific and versatile writer publishing over three dozen books in several genres including poetry fiction nonfiction children's literature and memoir. He wrote screenplays book reviews literary criticism and published essays on food travel and sport. Harrison indicated that of all his writing his poetry meant the most to him. Harrison published 24 novellas during his lifetime and has been called America's foremost master of that form. His first commercial success came with the 1979 publication of the trilogy of novellas 'Legends of the Fall', two of which were made into movies. He was the recipient of multiple awards and honors including a Guggenheim Fellowship (1969) , the Mark Twain Award for distinguished contributions to Midwestern literature (1990) , and induction into the American Academy of Arts & Letters in 2007. Harrison wrote that "The dream that I could write a good poem a good novel or even a good movie for that matter has devoured my life." Much of Harrison's writing is set in sparsely populated regions of North America and its West. Many stories are set in places such as Nebraska's Sand Hills, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Montana's mountains, and along the Arizona–Mexico border. For his part, Harrison lived in Patagonia, Arizona, Livingston, Montana, and Grand Marais, Michigan. The novella format would become Harrison's signature form and his future reputation will no doubt rest upon them. After the publication of 'Legends of the Fall' seven more collections of novellas appeared over the course of Harrison's lifetime: The Woman Lit by Fireflies (1990) , Julip (1994) , The Beast God Forgot to Invent (2000) , The Summer He Didn't Die (2005) , The Farmer's Daughter (2009) , The River Swimmer (2013) , and his last, The Ancient Minstrel (2016) which was published just before his death in March of that year. Jim Harrison shows why he was regarded as the master of the underappreciated art of the novella 'The Woman Lit by Fireflies'. In it, he explores diverse themes as friendship, love, both unrequited and lost, and coming to grips with disappointment with the trajectory of one's life or unmet aspirations. Harrison creates fascinating characters, including introducing 'Brown Dog' which became his only reoccurring character and mixes humor, anger, and loss in a way that few writers can to create multi-dimensional stories that both entertain and challenge. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 247 pages ., Houghton Mifflin Company, 1990, 3, Grand Marais MN: Voyageur Press, 1978. center stapled paperback. very good +. 8 3/8 x 11 " 24 pages. some small brown spots on rear cover.
