Instead, Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon combines the adventure genre with a murder mystery. After being falsely accused of a crime, Joam Garral was forced to flee Brazil. Now, many years later, he is living on a thriving Peruvian plantation with his family. However, when his daughter is set to marry a Brazilian army surgeon named Manuel Valdez, the couple decide to have their wedding in Brazil, so that Manuel’s mother, who cannot travel, is able to attend the wedding. Nervous about returning to his home country, but absolutely dedicated to supporting his daughter, Joam decides to make the journey to Brazil, and aims to restore his reputation while he is there. With this is mind, the Garral family start their journey, riding down the Amazon River on a giant raft. This journey alone proves to be difficult, as the family must prevail over the dangers of the river. Finally, when they arrive in Brazil, they meet a shady man named Torres, who has an encrypted letter that would clear Joam’s name. However, as Torres tries to extort them, the Garral family must find a way to obtain and decode this letter before Joam is executed. Set in the 19th century, Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon by Jules Verne contains excellent detail that brings its vibrant setting to life. With this vivid scenery and close attention to detail, modern readers are given privileged information on the natural history of the Amazon River, along with a perspective on South American culture and customs. With a dramatic narrative, suspense, and plot twists, Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon is a thrilling and mysterious adventure that keeps readers engaged and captivated.

Williams (b. 1847?) was a writer in Liverpool, but apparently not a very successful one. This history, published in 1897 by William Heinemann in London and Edward Howell in Liverpool, seems to be his only published book. The slave trade at the port in western England had been abolished nearly a century before he wrote, but the privateering continued and had recently surged during the US Civil War. Covering first the former then the latter, he recounts the histories of the trades through particular people and periods. Several fold-out pages reproduce original documents. David Eltis (history, Emory U.) provides an introduction. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

This volume presents 1,592 letters, 668 of them previously unpublished, for the years 1850 to 1852. This was a time of great activity for Dickens, who completed the serial publication of David Copperfield, began work on Bleak House, successfully established the weekly Household Words (in which his own serial A Child's History of England appeared), and wrote about 100 articles and stories for the journal, including many uncollected pieces. In April 1851 he and Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton founded the Guild of Literature and Art, a scheme to help writers and artists. He also suffered a number of personal blows: the deaths of his father, his baby daughter Dora, and two of his close friends, Richard Watson and Alfred D'Orsay; there was also anxiety over the illness of his wife Catherine.

"This book, from the previously unpublished manuscript in the National Library of Ireland, is a valuable and deeply detailed edition of the diary kept by Casement during his journey into the South American rainforests. He had been sent by the British government to report on atrocities against tribal people while being forced to collect rubber in the Putumayo region in the north-west Amazon. Genocide among the Amazon Indians has continued, but external investigations of this kind have been rare. The way in which Roger Casement carried out his work is still relevant to all kinds of humanitarian and whistle-blowing activities. It is also a key text charting Casement's transition from observer to anti-imperial revolutionary and Irish independence leader, culminating in his execution by the British government in August 1916 after the Easter Rising."
