She takes rooms in Wellington yard Windsor over the pottery of Anny a childhood friend. The community in the yard is close knit and leans towards the artistic as well as providing the necessities of life: Anny's pottery overlooks a dairy a gallery a bakery and a theatre workshop. Charmian feels completely content. But this peace is shattered when dismembered limbs from an unidentified body are discovered in a rubbish sack and headless torsos are found outside Windsor.

‎Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile‎

‎Albert & Charles Boni 1924. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. No jacket. Spine and boards lightly toned board edges rubbed rear board lightly soiled front hinge starting. 1924 Hard Cover. We have more books available by this author!. xvii 274 pp. "Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile is the eighth book by American writer Herman Melville first published in serial form in Putnam's Monthly magazine between July 1854 and March 1855 and in book form by G. P. Putnam & Co. in March 1855. A pirated edition was also published in London by George Routledge in May 1855. The book is loosely based on a pamphlet 108-page autobiography that Melville acquired in the 1840s Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel R. Potter Providence Rhode Island 1824. When Israel Potter leaves his plow to fight in the American Revolution he's immediately thrown into the Battle of Bunker Hill where he receives multiple wounds. However this does not deter him and after hearing a rousing speech by General George Washington he volunteers for further duty this time at sea where more ill fortune awaits him. Israel is captured by the British Navy and taken to England. Yet he makes his escape and this triggers a series of extraordinary events and meetings with remarkable people. Along the way Israel encounters King George III who takes a liking to the Yankee rebel and shelters him in Kew Gardens; Benjamin Franklin who presses Israel into service as a spy; John Paul Jones who invites Israel to join his crew aboard The Ranger; and Ethan Allen whom Israel attempts to free from a British prison. Throughout these adventures Israel Potter acquits himself bravely but his patriotic valor does not bring him any closer to his dream of returning to America. After the war Israel finds himself in London where he descends into poverty. Finally fifty years after he left his plough he makes his way back to his beloved Berkshires. However few things remain the same. Soon Israel fades out of being his name out of memory and he dies on the same day the oldest oak on his native lands is blown down.

‎White Jacket or The World in a Man-of-War The Chiltren Library‎

‎Grove Press 1952. First Thus. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. First thus. No jacket. Boards stained spine lightly toned pencil name on front paste-down endpaper. 1952 Hard Cover. xiv 376 pp. New introduction by William Plomer. "White-Jacket; or The World in a Man-of-War is the fifth book by American writer Herman Melville first published in London in 1850.1 The book is based on the author's fourteen months' service in the United States Navy aboard the frigate USS Neversink actually USS United States. Based on Melville's experiences as a common seaman aboard the frigate USS United States from 1843 to 1844 and stories that other sailors told him the novel is severely critical of virtually every aspect of American naval life and thus qualifies as Melville's most politically strident work.citation needed At the time though the one thing that journalists and politicians focused on in the novel was its graphic descriptions of flogging and the horrors caused by its arbitrary use; in fact because Harper & Bros. made sure the book got into the hands of every member of Congress White-Jacket was instrumental in abolishing flogging in the U.S. Navy forever. Melville scholars also acknowledge the huge number of parallels between White-Jacket and Billy Budd and view the former as a rich source for possible interpretations of the latter.2 The novel takes its title from the outer garment that the eponymous main character fashions for himself on board ship with materials at hand being in need of a coat sufficient for the rounding of Cape Horn. Due to a ship-wide rationing of tar however White-Jacket is forever denied his wish to tar the exterior of his coat and thus waterproof it. This causes him to have two near-death experiences once when he is reclining among the canvases in the main-top and his jacket blending in with the surrounding material he is nearly unfurled along with the main sail; and once when having been pitched overboard while reeving the halyards he has to cut himself free from the coat in order not to drown. He having done so his shipmates mistake the discarded jacket for a great white shark and harpoon it sending it to a watery grave. The symbolism of the color white introduced in this novel in the form of the narrator's jacket is more fully expanded upon in Moby-Dick where it becomes an all-encompassing "blankness".3 The mixture of journalism history and fiction; the presentation of a sequence of striking characters; the metaphor of a sailing ship as the world in miniature Grove Press hardcover‎

Based on the life of an actual soldier who claimed to have fought at Bunker Hill Israel Potter is unique among Herman Melville's books: a novel in the guise of a biography. In telling the story of Israel Potter's fall from Revolutionary War hero to peddler on the streets of London where he obtained a livelihood by crying "Old Chairs to Mend" Melville alternated between invented scenes and historical episodes granting cameos to such famous men of the era as Benjamin Franklin Potter may have been his secret courier and John Paul Jones and providing a portrait of the American Revolution as the rollicking adventure and violent series of events that it really was.
