Book Description
"At once a penetrating work of literary analysis and a riveting historical narrative." -Nathaniel Philbrick Merging maritime adventure and early colonial history, A Brave Vessel charts a little-known chapter of the past that offers a window on the inspiration for one of Shakespeare's greatest works. In 1609, aspiring writer William Strachey set sail for the New World aboard the Sea Venture, only to wreck on the shores of Bermuda. Strachey's meticulous account of the tragedy, the castaways' time in Bermuda, and their arrival in a devastated Jamestown, remains among the most vivid writings of the early colonial period. Though Strachey had literary aspirations, only in the hands of another William would his tale make history as The Tempest-a fascinating connection across time and literature that Hobson Woodward brings vividly to life.

The Vessel's Blood
Author: Joseph Gorne
Publisher: The Gray's Scriptorium
ISBN: 1964897009
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 615
Book Description
Vulfrey's Life is Not His Own The Vessel, the great hope of the Vahndriin people. His is the body through which their Lord, Vahndestrus, might return to the world and bring with him promised salvation. And so too the role with which Vulfrey has been tasked since birth, the sole purpose of his existence. He's long accepted it. He was ready. However, on the eve of his twentieth birthday—the day that should have been his last—tragedy befalls the temple he'd spent his entire life caged within. Now, for the first time, he is thrust out into the world. Alone. Broken. And fleeing for his life. It's then that he finds an unlikely ally in Kaill, the son of the man who'd betrayed and nearly killed him. Together they set off, Vulfrey searching for a means to fulfill his duty and mend the wound torn in his people's faith, Kaill seeking penance for his father's deeds, and both falling prey to feelings doomed by the journey's end.
