Shackleton’s Boat Journey

F. A. Worsley
Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Ernest Shackleton’s
expedition to Antarctica, this firsthand account chronicles one of
the most breathtaking and inspiring survival stories of all time.
In August of 1914, Shackleton and his handpicked crew
embarked from London on the HMS Endurance, determined to
make the first land crossing of the Antarctic. In this memoir,
Frank Worsley, the captain of the ship, describes how the
Endurance became trapped and was ultimately crushed to splin-
ters by pack ice in the Weddell Sea in 1915; how the crew was
forced to drift on an ice floe for five months before they were
able to launch three tiny boats as far as the inhospitable, storm-
lashed Elephant Island; and how Shackleton and seven others—
including Worsley—went on in a 22-foot open boat for 800
miles through wintery Antarctic seas to South Georgia in search
of rescue. As moving as it is gripping, this is an extraordinary
story of courage and even good humor among a group of men
who, in the face of what must have seemed certain death, exhib-
ited toughness, competence, loyalty, and modesty.
F. A. Worsley was a New Zealand sailor and explorer. He served
as a reserve officer in the Royal Navy during World War I and, as
the commander of two ships, was decorated. He was the captain
of the Endurance during Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-
Antarctic Expedition.

Whales and Dolphins

of Aotearoa New Zealand
Barbara Todd
Based on the popular international Te Papa exhibition,
Whales: Giants of the Deep, this resource brings these
majestic marine mammals and their underwater world
to life, with a special focus on the whales and dolphins
of the South Pacific. From the first richly illustrated
chapter, readers are immersed in the salty sea to explore
their amazing diversity, biology, and adaption to life in
the oceans. Throughout the book, hundreds of breath-
taking photographs, historical images, astonishing facts
and figures, and informative illustrations and diagrams
bring the whale world to life. It also includes stories
from people whose lives have been inextricably linked
with whales—from legendary South Pacific whale riders
to international whale scientists and from conservation-
ists to former whalers and their families. For centuries
whales have captured imaginations and ignited emo-
tions; humans have revered and mythologized them,
hunted them to the brink of extinction, and passionately
protected them, and this book is a powerful combina-
tion of storytelling, science, and culture that reveals the
relationship between whales and people.
Barbara Todd is a researcher, naturalist, and educator
with more than 25 years of experience studying whales
in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. She has
worked as an educator, writer, photographer, and
researcher and is the author of 10 children’s books on
marine life as well as Whales & Dolphins of Kaikoura,
New Zealand, and has featured in many documentaries,
including Divine Dolphins by National Geographic.

Meatyard / Merton
Photographing Thomas Merton
Photographs by Ralph Eugene Meatyard
Calligraphies by Thomas Merton
• Part of the Fons Vitae Thomas Merton series, which includes Merton & Buddhism (9781887752848), Merton & Judaism
(9781887752558), Merton & Sufism (9781887752077), and Merton & the Tao (9781887752992)
Thirty-eight photographs by Ralph Meatyard, an important if often-overlooked American photographer, provide an intimate look
at the private life of one of the most renowned and influential spiritual thinkers of the 20th century in the last two years before his
death. Excerpts from Thomas Merton’s own journals serve as captions to the images, offering a profound emotional context. Also
included are eight previously unreleased pieces of Merton’s own stunning calligraphic art, as well as essays by Roger Lipsey, an
expert on Merton’s art; Chris Meatyard, the photographer’s son; and Stephen Reily, who discusses the close relationship between
the photographer and the spiritual teacher.
Ralph Eugene Meatyard was an American photographer best known for the incorporation of dolls and masks in his work. Thomas
Merton was a writer, mystic, and Trappist monk. He is best known for his autobiography, The Seven Storey Mountain.

Morphologies
Short Story Writers on Short Story Writers
Edited by Ra Page
In a series of essays written by leading contemporary exponents of
the short story such as David Constantine, A. S. Byatt, and Frank
Cottrell Boyce, this anthology examines the work and genius of
past masters such as D. H. Lawrence, Anton Chekhov, and Frank
O’Connor. Each essay examines three stories in particular from
each literary luminary from both a critical and creative point of
view as it seeks to understand the elements that make for an
enduring short story. What becomes apparent in this unique, cross-
disciplinary reader is that complicated plots, story arcs, and narra-
tive layering, far from being the province of the novel or feature
films, are amply present in short fiction as well, a literary form
that has a long tradition of deploying some of the most tightly
coiled, daring, and complicated structures of any. This is an indis-
pensable resource for short story lovers, creative writing students,
and fans of the past masters being examined or the contemporary
authors of each piece.
Ra Page is the editor of The City Life Book of Manchester Short
Stories and the founder and editor of Manchester Stories magazine.
He has edited several anthologies published by Carcanet Press,
including Lemistry: A Celebration of the Work of Stanislaw Lem
and Litmus: Short Stories from Modern Science. He has written for
the Guardian, the New Statesman, and the Times, and is the recipi-
ent of a Jerwood Foundation Bursary. He is deputy editor of City

Excerpt:
What makes for a good short story?

Being short, you might think the story’s structure would yield an answer to this question more readily than,
say, the novel. But for as long as the short story has been around, arguments have raged as to what it
should and shouldn’t be made up of, what it should and shouldn’t do. Here, fifteen leading contemporary
practitioners offer structural appreciations of past masters of the form as well as their own personal
perspectives on what the short story does so well. The best short stories don’t have closure, argues one
contributor, ‘because life doesn’t have closure’; ‘plot must be written with the denouement constantly in
view,’ quotes another. Covering a century of writing that arguably saw all the major short forms emerge,
from Hawthorne’s ‘Twice Told Tales’ to Kafka’s modernist nightmares, these essays offer new and unique
inroads into classic texts, both for the literature student and aspiring writer.
The purpose of asking fifteen contemporary short story writers to offer structural appreciations of their
favourite past masters was not to uncover some unity of practice, or some single set of structures... The
wonder of the short story – not to mention its unique political power – lies in its pluralism, its sheer variety
and flexibility as a form. Accordingly, the purpose of these essays is to foreground just such multiplicity:
the many styles, shapes, structures, and techniques the short story has to offer, looking at out-of-copyright
stories published in the hundred years between 1835 and 1935 – a period that arguably saw all the major
story types emerge. To draw out and celebrate the idiosyncrasies of the author in question; to point readers
to texts they might not have considered before; to encourage people to re-read old favourites – these are
the manifest aims of this book.

That Summer in Paris

A New Expanded Edition
Morley Callaghan
• Part of the Exile Classics series
It was the fabulous summer of 1929 when the literary capital of

North America moved to La Rive Gauche—the Left Bank of the
Seine River—in Paris. Ernest Hemingway was reading proofs of A
Farewell to Arms, and a few blocks away F. Scott Fitzgerald was
struggling with Tender Is the Night. As his first published book
rose to fame in New York, Morley Callaghan arrived in Paris to
share the felicities of literary life, not just with his two friends,
Hemingway and Fitzgerald, but also with fellow writers James
Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, and Robert McAlmon. Amid these tan-
gled relations, some friendships flourished while others failed. This
tragic and unforgettable story comes to vivid life in Callaghan’s
lucid, compassionate prose. Also included in this new edition are
essays by Callaghan on Hemingway, Joyce, Fitzgerald, and
McAlmon, as well as the author’s look back to those days in Paris
and when he revisited 60 years later. The texts are followed by
questions for discussion and related readings.
Morley Callaghan is the author of It’s Never Over, The New Yorker
Stories, Strange Fugitive, Such Is My Beloved, and The Vow. He
was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and the Canadian
Governor General’s Award for Fiction. He died in 1990.

The Witch Doctor of Umm Suqeim

Craig Hawes
• Co-op available
The lives of locals and expatriates intertwine and collide as they

strive to negotiate the shifting mores of the ever-changing emirate of
Dubai in this debut short story collection. In one story, a young
male journalist puts himself at risk when he dares to defy local cus-
tom by giving an Emirati female colleague a ride back to the office,
to the envy of a bitter office rival. Another tale portrays a lavish
mansion party in full swing that is suddenly interrupted by a
muezzin’s call to prayer. Still another story follows a Pakistani taxi
driver who fails to wake a female passenger from her drunken stu-
por and takes her to his favorite café across the city so as not to
miss an important cricket match. These tales of hardship and the
high life, paranoia and alienation, and cruelty and love feature an
array of characters that span Dubai’s wide social spectrum and will
appeal to anyone with a curiosity about what it is like to be an
expat in the Arab world’s most futuristic, vibrant, and affluent city.
Craig Hawes is a journalist whose work has appeared in the
London Evening Standard, the Sunday Times, and Time Out
Dubai, among other publications. As a short story writer, he has
been short-listed for the Bristol Short Story Prize, has been a run-
ner-up for the Rhys Davies Prize, and placed third for the Yeovil
Short Story Prize. His short fiction has appeared in several publica-
tions and prize-winning anthologies including Blue Tattoo and the
Bristol Prize Anthology, and one of his stories was broadcast on
BBC Radio 4. He lives in Dubai.

The Rood and the Torc

The Song of Kristinge, Son of Finn
Matthew Dickerson
When Kristinge, a young monk at a monastery in southeastern
France, discovers he is the son of a famous Frisian hero and king
who died in battle six years earlier, he leaves the monastic life and
sets out in search of his identity. Traveling with his old mentor
Willimond, a monk originally of Lindisfarne, Kristinge’s journey
brings him first across France to Denmark to search of his mother,
and eventually back to his native soil of Friesland. Along the way
he meets the young, decadent, and half-crazy Frankish king Clovis
who resides in Paris, and the holy Abbess Telchild of the nearby
monastery of Jouarre—two of several historical figures woven
through the novel. However, what begins as a quest to uncover his
heritage and find whether his mother still lives becomes a sort of
spiritual journey of discovery at many other levels. Kristinge wres-
tles with the question: who is he, and who should he become? Is he
the monk he has spent the past six years training to be? Or the gift-
ed bard that was trained as a youth to compose songs, sing, and
play the harp? Or is he the future king that will unite Friesland and
save it from the threat of the increasingly powerful Danes and
Vikings on the one side and decaying but still threatening Frankish
empire on the other? Compounding his confusion, Kristinge also
rediscovers and falls in love with a young woman whom he had
known many years earlier as a child: a woman who would be far
above his station were he to remain a monk but not above his sta-
tion were he to become king.
