Master Bernard is a historical novel which reflects what actually happened during the terrible religious wars between the Roman Catholics and the Huguenots (Calvinist Protestants) in France during the second half of the 16th century. The principal character is a real person: Bernard Palissy, master potter, craftsman, writer, researcher and lecturer who lived from 1510 to 1589. Many of his glazed pottery masterpieces can be found today in the Louvre and other major museums around the world.This is a story which vividly describes the customs of that time and how Palissy and his family were drawn into one of the bloodiest chapters of French history. The French author closely followed events as described in Palissy's own autobiography which provides the reader with a real insight into the challenges of that period. Elie Berthet (1815-1891), the author of this work, was one of France's leading writers in the 19th century, having produced over 100 novels about Paris, French history and other subjects. His books have been translated into a dozen languages.This is the first English translation.
The American Rebellion - Utopia Lost _____ America and England owe Benedict Arnold the ultimate apology for their most tragic ordeal and greatest mistake in the history of the world _____ BENEDICT ARNOLD and DR. JOSEPH WARREN, were the unintentional creators of the United States of America. _____ If either man had decided not to be involved in the rebellion against England, there would not have been a Continental Congress, rebel army, or 'United States', and, just like most colonists, neither man thought of being independent of England. Seven months after JOSEPH WARREN created and directed the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, BENEDICT ARNOLD reached JOSEPH WARREN'S headquarters at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Delegates to only the second meeting of the so-called Continental Congress had not reached Philadelphia when JOSEPH WARREN promoted BENEDICT ARNOLD and directed him with a secret mission and plan for a solution to the rebellion. Reporting only to JOSEPH WARREN, BENEDICT ARNOLD could have subdued every important fort in North America, including Canada, and then reconciled with England. Without the interference of the Continental Congress, the American rebellion would have and should have ended in 1775. No one would have or could have done what BENEDICT ARNOLD did for his love of America, which unfortunately led to a fluke ending of the conflict, unintentional fracture of England's empire, and loss of the nearest possible utopia this world has ever known.

Ellie is a sweet-natured brunette, generous of heart with a sparkling smile and an accent which reveals her East End background. Bonny is beautiful and spoilt, with cascades of blonde hair, the brightest pair of blue eyes and a mouth like Cupid's bow. The two girls meet in London at the end of the war when, seduced by two American airmen, they pool their wits and resources and set off to make a living on the stage. Set against the hardship and austerity of post-war Britain, and the glamour and ruthlessness of life in variety theatre, their story is one of sacrifice and burning ambition. But most of all of a powerful friendship that lasts against all odds.
